Reacting to MORE of YOUR Horror Movie Hot Takes 

"the first one i got was "my nudes in profile'" perfectly sums up modern Twitter 😂😂😂

Season 4 of Stranger Things is the best A Nightmare Elm Street content we’ve gotten since the original.

A Leigh Whannell-written and directed, more horror-centric Terminator film is one of the best horror ideas I feel like I’ve heard in a long old while.

Hellraiser (1987) is absolutely one of my favorite horror films of all time. We do exist.

Light’s Out was extremely effective and one of the best horror films in the last ten years. Feels like it didn’t get the respect it deserved 🤷🏼‍♂️

My problem with “in space” chapters of horror franchises are that they never have the budget to pull off the futuristic world they are trying to establish

Ash absolutely losing his mind in the cabin when everything is laughing at him and then breaks down is a great scene and the movie is probably my favorite of the trilogy but I love all of them almost equally

“Okay Texas, you ready for this? Whataburger sucks!” Took me out 😂💀💀 Remember no truth bombs on this video, only hot takes. 😂

2:14 As someone who is not even a Texan. I feel personally attacked by your WhatABurger Slander. Im getting my shotgun

Jason in Freddy vs Jason is one of the best portrayals of Jason. I like that he towers over Freddy and Ken Kirzinger did an excellent job. They also did a great job making Jason “the one to root for” by having a more sympathetic backstory, even though he’s also a killer. Also Jason’s brown coat is adapted in a lot of toys, video games, and artwork, despite only being in FVJ

my favorite is the Final Destination DVD version where you got to decide what happens. yes the options are limited but its fun having a bit of control in what happens

They should continue the anthology idea they had for the Halloween series at this point. Best thing they could do with it now. Just tell awesome self contained short stories. Would be really cool.

I would love to see a remake from "I know what you did last summer" or a sequel from "The hills have eyes"

The Hateful Eight is NOT Tarantinos weakest film

My Hot Takes: Urban Legend, a very underrated slasher film, is much better than many slashers of its time and it is better than I Know What You Did Last Summer. And Brenda is one of the best slasher villains.

Orphan not getting more movies immediately after the first movie was a missed opportunity for it to be a bigger name in the genre and would've been the revival that slasher movies needed in the late 2000s and early 2010s and would've made Esther one of the most notable names in horror movies with Jason,Michael,and Freddy

1) Hellraiser 2 is more interesting to me than OG Hellraiser and the locations are way cooler in 2 tbh. 2) Jason X has one of the most iconic death scenes in it even if you dont count the sleeping bag v tree death. He literally grabs a lady by the hair, dunks her face in this liquid nitrogen shit that freezes her face, then bashes it on the side of a counter and it all just crumbles off. It is the most intense shit ever and is one of those scenes that sticks with you.

To add context to my Nightmare on Elm St. take, improve the franchise by focusing on the surrealism of dreams. As much fun as Freddy is, if something is coming at you in your dreams, I don't think you need a killer per se, more of a bad nightmare specific to the person.

I have a lot of hot takes. 1. The babadook sucks, it isnt scary AT ALL. I literally went to sleep watching it. 2. While on that topic, horror should scare you, it should keep you up at night so any “horror”movie that doesnt isnt good. 3. Seed of chucky started all the wacky problems chucky series has now. Its terrible, childs play 3 is the best. 4. James wan is the best modern horror director and its not close. He doesnt have a bad horror movie. 5. All the remakes are better than the originals, nightmare on elm street, friday the 13th, ESPECIALLY texas chainsaw massacre 2003 and The beginning, and rob zombies halloween. The old movies simply arent scary and the acting is worse. The new ones add backstory, which makes them more interesting. I like knowing how jason gets from place to place so fast as well as why the cannibals in texas chainsaw massacre eat ppl. 6. On that topic, ppl who say backstory “demystifies” the killer are just wrong and i can prove it…serial killer documentaries are only popular BECAUSE ppl want backstory. 7. Any film made before 1980 is automatically not scary and idk how ppl back then got creeped out whatsoever. 8. Stephen king doesnt make horror…he makes weird. By that i mean nothing he does makes sense nor is scary, its more sci fi than horror. Nobody will go to sleep wondering if christine the car will kill them. 9. Scream is the most overrated franchise ever, the plot is ppl die and you find out its multiple killers at the end…literally every movie.

It took Cody absolutely everything to not absolutely lose his mind on that Halloween 5 comment 🤣🤣🤣

Hellraiser is my favorite horror movie ever. I love how unique the story is and how the Cenobites aren’t posed as villains. It’s definitely not the best horror movie ever (because The Thing, The Exorcist, and Halloween exist) but I’d argue it’s top ten at least.

The sequel we’ve all waiting for! Keep these coming Cody!

My hot take . I would take The Collector and its sequel over the entire Saw franchise.

Thanks for featuring my tweet! I hope my Final Destination take didn’t seem like hating. I do like all of those films, just moreso prefer the style of the later sequels.

I refuse to believe the Jigsaw person wasn't trolling

The only reason Halloween 3 bombed is because they were forced to make 2. If they had done only one Myers film, the anthology concept would have landed. But by 3 people were showing up to see what Michael would do next.

I would love a video on Poltergeist. It is one of my favorite movies....of any genre. The special effects are good and if the ghost coming down the stairs looks so ethereal. If that was done today that effect would be way too glossy looking

My hot take is that Malignant is a certified classic. A horror movie that goes from suspense to straight up bloodbath. Amazing camera angles, one scene in the police station looked like a video game the way they had the camera angled on her. Something i havent seen myself in a horror movie before. It also did a great twist on the absorbed twin twist that felt fresh

To me, Brian De Palma's Carrie is the best Stephen King adaptation we've gotten. I do think there is some dated things but the movie translated the book so well and made it even better by showcasing Carrie's POV over the other characters. Instead of simply being a talking point, shes a fleshed out tragic figure and Sissy Spacek gives an all timer performance. There are relatively better made King movies sure but to me this is quintesential and the best.

My hot take is Predator 2 is the best sequel to the original. Never understood the hate towards it. My biggest hot take though is one that I’m on my own island with, and that is I like Predator 2 more than the original. I saw it first as a kid before I saw the original and nostalgia always hits me whenever I watch it. Was the movie that made me fall in love with the franchise.

Here is the funny thing, I love the Final Destination movie series and while I agree that The Final Destination aka Final Destination 4 is bad, you have to admit that the opening credit sequence where they reference all the past kills to an awesome electric guitar rock version of the creepy theme music from the first movie was amazing. I still watch that opening to this day on occasion.

Hellraiser the original is one of the most underrated / under appreciated horror classics of all time. Terrifying and tense. The twist ending with Frank wearing his brothers face is still one of the beat

I think that if Terminator Salvation had been really good, the whole trajectory of the franchise would be different. Some people don’t like 3, I think it’s alright. Overall an amazing trilogy. And if Salvation could’ve shown an awesome version of the future that they were always talking about the the first trilogy, and then worked this into a new trilogy with some sort of time loop happening by the end. That would’ve been perfect for the franchise and it could’ve ended there.

I've got a hot take I think Laurie Strode is one of the most overrated final girls ever listen I don't think she's a bad final girl by any means but when comparing her to characters like Nancy & Sidney she has a lot of flaws. My main problem is how inconsistent she is because her in the original, the second one and H20 I really like those are my favourite versions of her but then you get her in RZ Halloween 2 where she is an annoying drunken moron who is constantly in you're face. But then there's her in the most recent trilogy who is pretty much a worse version of Sarah Connor and in Ends she suddenly has gotten over the trauma Michael has given her and the fact that he killed her daughter like B***h What?! You had a like 40 year obsession with him and now you make pies. Listen in a Halloween film when she's good she's really good but she just has a lot of problems that the average Halloween fan just glosses over. Also if you make another one of these videos may you please include my comment in it.

Scream 2 > Every other Scream movie. It has the perfect balance of comedy and horror, a great opening, strong character arcs, and phenomenal suspense sequences. It’s also the most well directed Scream movie (The cinematography is so artfully grand and theatrical).

Horror movies should have more final guys

Omg Uncle Sean's hot take - "The Lost Boys is an utter disaster" and Cody's reaction to it is fucking priceless!

I loved Prometheus but I also had no clue it was an alien prequel.

Van Helsing is generally a fun as hell movie, don't get the hate. Re-Animator needs more love than it deserves. And Malignant is a modern day horror MASTERPIECE (yes I'm biased because I LOVE that movie).

So glad to see someone else label the original Terminator a horror movie. Ive had arguments with people who genuinely think its not horror. I think it stems from the franchise as a whole having barely any horror elements after the first. 100% they should go back to the horror elements.

I believe the kid in the mist had to die for the mist to disappear just like carmody said would happen. That’s a hill I’ll die on

I can rewatch 1990s It at least once a year. The new IT was a one and done for me.

I personally love Jason goes to hell, Yes it breaks franchise rules and gives a familiar connection but i enjoy it. I loved Creighton duke. Its fun, I get its haters but it's different enough. Agree on Jason x is hilarious. Love seeing him smack the sleeping bag against the tree.

I definitely would like to see more of these! Fun way to mix up the content while still being in theme. Good video!

The Friday the 13th part 5 take is an interesting one. They’re almost like opposites, one movie is a slog to get through until the killer is revealed which is the most memorable part of the film whereas the other is very entertaining and wild until the killer is revealed is a huge disappointment

Dermot Mulroney in Scream 6 is SO bad that it's JUST FUCKING BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!!!!!

I maintain that the acting in the original TCM is realism. Maybe they're not experienced actors, but they're very effective for the material they're given. Their acting is distinct from that found in other low-budget horror films from the era, namely The Last House on the Left and The Hills Have Eyes. The Last House on the Left is an unwatchable film in which (among many, many, many, to the power 20 other flaws), a couple finds their daughter murdered and can barely work up any emotion at all. Perhaps, if the actors in TCM were compelled to act in such a scene, they would have humiliated themselves, too. However, as it is, the simplicity of TCM keeps their performances realistic. They merely need to act first like youths in a grounded setting, then like people trapped in an utterly terrifying situation, and they do it effectively.

Ends was a mixture of Halloween & Season Of The Witch Howling & Late Phases are the best werewolf movies Fright Night 2 is the better remake

TCM 2 and TCM 2003 are my faves in the entire franchise

I don't know how I wasn't already subscribed! This was fuckin hilarious! Your reply to Sean Chandler was PERFECT.

Black Christmas 1974 is more scarier and more re-watchable then Scream

8:49 I think Freddy vs Jason is the definitive end for Robert Englund’s Freddy. I feel like he died at the hands of Jason and then the final wink was a cheeky goodbye

My bloody valentine (1981) is better than any Friday the 13th movie aside from part 4

I kind of agree with the premise of A Nightmare on Elm Street being better than the actual films. I adore a the first and have fun with a few of the sequels but they don’t reach the franchise potential. Honestly would love to see David Fincher do a more thriller take on the original. Mike Flanagan would do an amazing job to bring in the surreal horror.

HALLOWEEN KILLS ROCKS

Loved these videos! Listening to you discuss horror movies is always a blast!

Hot take Friday the 13th the remake is the best in the franchise

Found footage films are generally not good nor scary. The only reason why Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity are praised is because they made so much ROI. The only ones I think are scary are REC and Hell House LLC. Although not scary, Afflicted is a fun watch.

That guy with the Jaws 2 take needs to be committed.

wes craven new nightmare is my favorite in the franchise. i feel like branching into the “real” world was done flawlessly and the storyline and narrative doesn’t miss a beat

Ah of course, can't be a Twitter thread without the NSFW bot as the first comment, lol.

I would love to see Cody exposed to the Final Girl boardgame. They have scenarios that play homage to horror movies, and one of the 3 seasons (several scenarios per season) has a Terminator inspired one. But only thing that compares to film love letters to the genre might be games where you get to play through as favorite character stand ins. Like the wave of horror video games just trying to survive yourself.

24:40. Scream 5 and 6 would be brilliant if they would have made it more realistic. All these core 4 characters and others surviving MULTIPLE stab wounds is what gives me blue balls.

The main horror franchise that came to an end that I can think of is Phantasm

Hacksaw Ridge is the best war movie ever made.

Ash from Evil Dead to me is just as iconic as any slasher villain

My other hot take which is my big hot take I think Texas chainsaw 2 is the best one. I just love the goofy approach they took with it and if we got another Texas chainsaw movie I would love it to be more like that one

Halloween 3 is my favorite Halloween movie... SEASON of the WITCH!

Scream 4 is better than the original, and the best in the franchise. To add to that, Charlie Walker is my 3rd favorite ghostface due to his brutality and incredible reveal.

My thing with the Exorcist the orignal is i think its a good film but I think its more the lore behind it.. like the theory that all the people who worked on the film had things happen to them afterwards and how it's one of the most cursed films. Do i think it was the best film ever, but i have heard that the people who worked on The exoricst, Poltergeist, and the Omen (all originals) have all had weird things happen to them afterwards.

Dan stevens as Snake Plisskin in a escape from new york sequel directed by Leigh Whannel

Here’s my hot take I’d rather watch the original Nightmare on elm street and Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter over the original Halloween

No too sure if these are hot take but.. Hot Take 1: Halloween Ends I would of loved if they put Cory Cunningham in the Emmett Kelly mask as a nice call back to what could have been Michael's mask in the original Hot Take 2: Halloween Ends (Spoiler) It would of been way better if Michael came in and killed Cory C while he and Laurie were arguing instead of him killing himself for no reason

Brah, we don't see eye to eye %20 of the time , but again- when you are on point you are on point!! We are definitely down with the same obscure opinions! I saw Hellraiser in the theaters, twice and thought ' this is clever, kinda cheap, is there a book? ' I like Hellraiser but I don't own a Tshirt and don't plan on buying one. Though I do have the box.... Preach on!!

Didn't Jason X have the line "we didn't land on Crystal Lake, Crystal Lake landed on us"?

LMFAO UNCLE SHAWN THE TROLL!!!!!!!! I LOVE HOW CLOSE YOU GUYS ARE!!!!!!

The Strangers is one of the most Overrated horror movies ever made. While the killers and the movie shots very well but the main characters are the DUMBEST protagonists.

I absolutely loved the first video (and to be honest, it's not my favourite video of yours) so this has gotten me REALLLY excited

I don't know why Ridley Scott wanted to do a sci-fi movie about creations rebeling against their creator and what it means to be human. He already did it perfectly in Blade Runner

Me sitting here at my desk watching this in my The Lost Boys shirt, with the poster above the desk. But real, What-A-Burger (as an Oklahoman) is not that good, I only like the cheeseburger (kinda) and their sweet tea is nasty. The Lost Boys will forever be my favorite movie in general, that was honestly the first time I've seen hate for that movie

The original Hellraiser is one of the best horror movies ever made. Hellraiser, Halloween 3, psycho 2, The Thing and A Nightmare On Elm Street are my top 5.

Hot take , Friday the 13th part 5 is one of my favorites , 100% guilty pleasure 😂

It Follows is absolutely overrated 😊 Terminator needs to go back to basics and also have a definitive ending

Yes same 2003 texas chainsaw is my fav too.

I’m really enjoying these hot takes. Hopefully the numbers make it so you can permanently incorporate these videos in your routine categories

Hot take: Deep Blue Sea is a more fun film than any of the Jaws films and I prefer it immensely.

Honestly I think I like Hellraiser Bloodlines the most in the series. It's not the best made but it's the most interesting for me and does some fun stuff with the lore.

Stephen King is spot on: Kubrick’s The Shining is a big, beautiful Cadillac with no engine. I find it big, bloated and overrated with terrible acting. Jack Nicholson is one of the all time greats, and watching him ham it up mercilessly makes me want to cry.

17:57. I think the only reason for me that Jaws 2 holds up is because the character of Brody. I grew up watching Jaws 2. I still love it. Better than 1???? No fn way! 3 and 4...garbage.

Tina was great in H5 (1989)

by far my favorite video and the funniest you’ve posted!! team bryan lmaoo thanks for picking my hot take man.

I think Halloween Ends was actually a very interesting end to the modern trilogy, while it might not be what everyone expected I think it's interesting to go in a different direction in a franchise and subgenre is so same-y. I feel like if it was just about Michael chasing the strode family around haddenfield again it would've been a lame ending, at least this ending was trying to do some interesting new things. The performances were good, the movie was pretty scary and atmospheric and I think the story was interesting and kept me engaged the entire time.

Idk if you’ll ever read this, but I think this is a great new series that I will gladly watch, love hearing everyone’s hot takes and the discussion afterwards, great vid!

My hot take, The Thing (2011) is not a bad movie and actually a good prequel.

4:13 Uber Jason is a goated character arc !!! Imaginary is cans lol

Cody will you ever review the silent hill games?

2:13 heh heh heh. *Hides Whataburger employee outfit and waves in total non-Texan way*

Halloween 3 is very different but very entertaining, the kills are great, the characters are great, the ending is great, and the music is awesome.

Love these hot takes. Please keep making them!!

The Conjuring 2013 is generic trash. Can't comment on any of the sequels because I haven't seen any of them.
