Hands down the best SFM and potentially one of the best psychological horror movies i’ve ever seen. The eye expressions are unbelievably well done. You can see the madness, anger, emotion in every single shot of the characters eyes. One example is when Soldier witnesses the hanged man in the cell, his eyes show very clear sanity loss/ pure shock at the horrors he’s witnessed.
Another animation made by Fortress Films is a sort of "prequel" to this. It's called Spy's Disguise and it's great. Also, there's a stack of VHS tapes in it, one of them labeled Emesis Blue. Just shows this has been worked on and planned for over 4 years
I saw this the day the video dropped and man, this is PEAK animation, if not just SFM. It does SO MUCH with so little and does it well. I mean think about it how many horror movies of any kind these days are actually scary? It's rare! Analog horror is one of the few horror genres that still pulls it off and this is a golden example of executing one masterfully.
My favorite thing about this is that despite taking part in the tf2 universe and using it's characters and assets, you don't need to know anything about the game itself other than that it has respawn mechanics and that blu and red are in a war, but knowing about the game brings the understanding of some jokes like the respawn machine feeling like eternity (a lot of times you get 15-20 second respawns) or the intel hell chapter and forwards taking place in 2fort. Makes this masterpiece more accessible and thats great.
"Someone needs to make a horror movie out of Overwatch..." As you noted, the Overwatch community is significantly more busy (and profiting off of) making uh... other things.
My bf wants to make an animated series for overwatch. While emesis blue is about the respawn mechanic, our overwatch thing would explore the omnics, their consciousness and cyberpsychosis
@@powerfist1340For real man, Overwatch used to be so big even my mother who isn't the biggest fan of video games watched the cinematics and trailers when they came out because the world was just that interesting.
when spy and solder are in scout's apartment, spy calls himself Mannix. Mannix is another detective show from the late 70's. Nobody noticed it so i figured i'd let you know
58:05 Not so fun fact! The model used in that scene for the face actually has a face ripped straight from an image of a dead body, though by the time this started being more common knowledge I assume they were mostly done with the movie and decided to keep the scene with that model in because nobody enjoys redoing things they've already done.
@@connordlthegamer2980 but this model was in half life 2 already. Also, a medical textbook picture of a corpse being used as a texture for a model is way different to showing an actual person dying.

@@RandomGuyAsking The scene with Medic touching the screen shortly before it activates, it's an homage to the astronauts on the Moon touching the Monolith
SPOILER ALERT FOR PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T WATCH THE FILM YET 1:40:47 (...) To end this treason, and corruption, once and for all! *BANG!* No shit the most badass moment ever in the film.
ive got a small theory about this. the whole thing happens in a multilayered reality. with most of the layers being forms of purgatory. medic DIES during/after taking scout home, its shown in the ending, he crashed into something(tree/telephone pole idk) and died on the spot, the respawn machine was permanently shut down at that point. scout also died, presumably in that crash. like i said, possibly when medic took him home. pyros, engineers, snipers, theyre already all dead except for the one soldier kills. when medic shoots himself with spy and soldier, he isnt even there, its really SOLDIER who shot himself, as he also passed into the purgatory that exact scene, seen through the epileptic hell hole he get thrown through shortly after. spy survived, only to be assassinated at the funeral. the scene we see medic at the bar with archibald? he finally passed into the afterlife after everyone else did.
pretty sure soldier is the last merc alive, maybe not, but spy died because of his own ignorance, medic becuase he crashed into the pole after passing out and scout died because of the conaghers, it also looks like people go to Dell's bar when they are on the verge of death, like medic and demo, the only people who didnt go to dell's bar are the ones who never took medic's medication too, it's just my theory anyways
When I was watching this, on a very quiet afternoon no less, my grandpa decided to not knock and just open the door directly which startled me so much I actually screamed for the first time in a while. There was also one time where I continued watching very early in the morning like 2-3am and I heard my door slowly unlock and creak open and since nobody was speaking from the other side I was like bracing myself hard while fully opening it slowly myself and it turns out my grandma had slipped again and my grandpa wanted to tell me so I could help.
51:50 not knowing what is real and what isn't... What if that's the point? This story is basically a puzzle but with no picture or colors We don't know what fits where and that's what's scary Idk maybe I'm just talking out my ass :b
Thank You great Gor for your great reaction on this When i watched this for the first time i already watched a Fortress Films video before so i assumed it was gonna be good enough to watch on a TV screen I must say if you were to give it a watch on your own again i would definitely watch it on TV screen with lights off The apartment scene was legit scary and had me hooked for the rest
there are so many horror references throughout this film like obviously the shining but it also takes alot of inspiration from another story by steven king called the jaunt where teleportation is a thing they call "jaunting" you need to be put into a medically induced sleep to come out alive and those that do come out the other side when not put asleep all say the same thing "longer then you think" before they died to self inflicted injury
Holy shit. That was fucking amazing. I can't wait to see some of the theory videos on this one. If you're looking for something fuckin' stupid to watch after this badass stuff, I'd recommend SCP-049-J by TheVolgun. The ending disappointed me a little bit. I really wanted to see what was in the briefcase. I still loved it though. Have a good day/night depending on where you are.
Hey If You See This I Recommend You To Watch The Whatshow's Emesis Blue Analysis For Comprehension And For The LOOOOORE And To Answer Questions You're Wondering With
46:32 why is scout is sound like stuka? I think soldier have trauma with stuka and he fear the sound it make,soldier don't want to fight because of stuka but he brave man he fight the scout to not lose another person like in the war i think of
