I think the really bad dialogue and writing in that segment may have been intentional as a send-up of the really bad "teen vampire" stuff out there. ...at least I hope it was.
The hall pass bit kinda made me laugh. No joke, when I was in high school film production class, the hall pass was a VCR. I’m not sure what was funnier, the fact that I had to carry a VCR with me to the bathroom or the fact that nobody questioned it.
I like the soap idea a lot! The hall pass part was funny to me too cause in high school I had an English teacher who would exclusively use random objects left in his classroom as hall passes. Some examples were an old shoe, a full size plunger, and a packet of Easy Mac cheese powder (no pasta).
I think the ending is supposed to be like "You might be scared of all these crazy things in movies, but you're more likely to die from something mundane."
@@ironic4497 It's hard to call it lazy when they already explored the insanity route right before in my opinion. but in terms of satisfaction? yeah, not very
Yes, I think that was the whole point of the end. However, the lady in the car didn't seem like she was speeding fast enough to kill the guy, probably enough to break bones and "be in lots of pain". However, I can see the point.
It’s honestly funny. CULTS. Fake. VAMPIRES. Fake. SPIDER PEOPLE. Fake. BECOMES A MURDERER AND DEFINITELY WONT WAKE UP. Fake, he wakes up. Leaves and gets hit by a car. Scriptwriter: ITS A F*CKIN MASTAPIECE
I lost it when Chad broke the arm of his chair. He’s like having a mini panic attack over it and Ian is just going on about ADR and he is none the wiser XD
This movie definitely feels like some high tier film class project, and that's why everyone could recognize unnamed characters like Troy, because they're like staff and students.
/"This is the part where I wake up" --- END/ would have been a genuinely chilling way of doing this, imho. Such a shame. (almost as chilling as those enthusiastic hillbilly college fans!)
@@rickyricardo9710 Your mileage may vary on that, of course, but imho having multiple successive twists is just as overdone, in addition to weakening the last one.
@@Bonezee I think the film should actually start with him getting hit by a car, then have him wake up in the classroom. It would play out in order from there (and omit Hill Billy), then end with a cut to black after “this is where I wake up.” Then the audience could wonder if he’s dreaming in a coma or trapped in purgatory/Hell after the crash. Or maybe the crash was even part of his “loop” he’s stuck in. Just my thoughts.
I always wanted a pair of those but I was 14 and they were expensive as hell so I could never convince my parents to buy me a pair... I'm glad I never got them in retrospect, looking at pictures from back then is already cringy enough at times.
Them 80 dollar Tripp pants were the shit. My friends and I all owned a single pair each because of the ridiculous cost. Catching Them on sale for around 50 bucks was a steal and the only time we could afford em. Otherwise you had to try and save up nearly 100 dollars for a pair of cheaply made thinner than they look baggy ass pants with more metal than material lmao... the pants weighed more than I did back in 2001 hahaha
I saw the theatre, and thought, "That looks like MCAD's theatre," When brutalmoose says it was screened at the Minneapolis of College of Art and design, "OH MY GAWD!"
There isn't any more. The collection was literally the movie. It's supposed to be 3 totally independent projects but it just ends up 1 big convoluted mess..
Even the most legendary directors will confirm how hard it is to resist finding ways to include those kinds of scenes! On the set of Schiendler's List, Liam Neeson had to constantly talk Spielberg out of doing this! Back when filming his first couple movies, Martin Scorsese kept Robert DeNiro on his toes when he kept trying to encourage him to improvise a sexual assault scene with his female costars even when they weren't on set!
Honestly it seems like a movie done with a lot of passion and love. There is ton of cool shots and ideas like a shot where he hides a bloody hand with knife behind a wall when the girl is walking his way. And the credits sequence is simply fantastic. I wish the makers of this movie a bright future when it comes to making movies
I haven't seen the movie, but from what you showed in the video, I think the "he gets hit by a car" ending makes sense, thematically, because the real message of the movie is "horror movies are harmless fun, even the gory ones", isn't it ? That's why the sequence in which the protagonist gets mental and kills everyone is also just a dream, because that's not what horror movies do to you. And then he gets hit by a car, because that's a more likely thing to happen that being turned into a psychopath by a horror movie. And YES, I am reading too much into it.
It's a bookend to an anthology. It's a hamfisted but sensible way to close the story. He's the audience stand-in so his lack of character development allows him to weave in and out of the vignettes. I disagree with Ian about the ending, I think him dying at the end is intentionally vague.
Though that may not have been the intention, I do like that interpretation. But it would be a bit scarier if it cut off right after he shot himself. We do fear the unknown, and the vague fate of Charlie would be pretty chilling if it didn't continue. That probably wasn't the full intent, though; it's a horror-comedy and I think they wanted to throw in a sort of gag to mess with us in a more fun way.
The hillbilly trope is most likely taken from deliverance and wrong turn they would be about peak horror although wrong turn may have been released after. Idk I'm just some jerkoff on the internet spouting probabilities. Edit: this is also post OG the hills have eyes.
Wow can't believe how broken RU-vid notifications are, I didn't get the notification for this video until it had already been up for 4 WHOLE MINUTES, HOW TF AM I SUPPOSED TO STAY ON TOP OF MY MOOSE BOY AND CHAD MAN UNDER THESE CONDITIONS
The broken glass sound effect and golf claps as Chad's armrest breaks, all while Ian continues talking like nothing is going on is the kind of humour that made me subscribe.
I like the concept of multiple segments assembled together. It's a neat filmmaking challenge, especially the way they have to use the school and the same actors... which is why the whole Hillbilly segment indeed sounds like the worse part.
Besides Hillbilly, I feel like that's a pretty clever idea; it takes the people Charlie is familiar with and puts them into his nightmares. Conceptually, it's pretty relatable to most dreams, despite the B Movie style execution. Hillbilly is more akin to fever dreams, meaning it's further removed from reality.
I KNOEW this was a school project! and yeah a lot of these segments have like no real story to them, especially CUlt, which just sorta HAPPENS and yeah, the credits looks VERY well done and cool. would reccomend.
Same, but the weird thing is I only see that sign when footage of a One Way sign is flipped, or reflected in a mirror, so Chad must be lucky to get one irl
me: "Wow, what a holistically perfect realization of one person's unique vision" "that part with troy and 'nem was pretty good," said half of the crew of the film
I hope Domino's all over the nation get texts today that just say, "Fake." I don't think pizza places can get texts, but still. That would make me happy.
At least one pizza chain did allow you to order through text at one point, I'm not sure if they so anymore but I vividly remember seeing the commercial for it. From what I understood you would set up a standing/usual order with them on your account, and then when you wanted to order it you would literally just text a pizza emoji to them.
Me: *goes to my chemistry class and raise my hand* Teacher: “Yes?” Me: Uh.. yeah I was just wondering, when are we gonna be learning about the heart? Teacher: Get the f**k out of my class!!
This movie makes me uncomfortable and I'm just watching the review of it alone. I can't imagine being with another human through the whole experience...
Charlie: "What time is it?" Spike Hair Vampire: "Well, seeing as there is no more sun shining... I'd say... Me: "It's NIGHT TIME!" Spike Hair Vampire: ".... pretty late." Me: *disappointed*
for some reason this movie randomly popped into my head so i just had to spend half an hour trying to remember who made a video on this 3 years ago, thank you ian
I wanna say that's the joke (since it's a way of making fun of both the stupid prop and the bad ADR in the film), but even so, I'm honestly surprised Chad didn't catch that, unless this was all set up ahead of time. If that's the case, this was pretty clever. inb4 someone throws an r/whoosh at me XD
Then he says “thanks” and pushes it in farther which is kind of funny. It reminds me of thanos “you should’ve gone for the head” and in End game (spoiler if you STILL haven’t seen the movie) he immediately cuts his head off and say “I went for the head”
I kinda like the idea of it starting really corny and getting darker and darker as it goes also I kinda love the anticlimax ending of getting hit with the car, it’s hilarious
I had a teacher who always had something that made noise be there Hall pass, one year it was a godzilla toy, right after Godzilla 2000 came out, and then it was the Staples "That was easy" button.
You guys remember that one episode of 'Are you afraid of the dark?' where that one kid is getting chased through his school by a little person in alien makeup claiming to be a computer virus or some shit? Because that's what I thought of with the premise of this movie.
"What are you gonna do? ...Kill me? ......With a hall pass?" Famous last words. EDIT: A better ending would have been if the last dream had been real, but he wakes up in the school like always, rollerblades out of the school, and realizes he's in hell for killing all of his classmates.
They should have ended it at when the cop shot him because he went "crazy" towards the end. Would have been the best "horror movies cause violence" ad 😂 Now that i see it was a anthology. I think i liked the slasher scene best
Where i live we don't have passes, you just ask the teacher, however, our chemistry teacher once had one of the kids bring her a large jar of concentrated hydrochloric acid from the local water treatment facility. Whether that's better or worse than a cactus, you be the judge.
@@gretchnjoyer I don't think the kid carrying a maybe 3-4 liters jar of one of the strongest known acids known to chemistry, thought it was hilarious, at least judging by how gingerly he was walking. But, yeah, good times.
All the English and History teachers got together and went to thrift stores for theirs. My teacher had a terrible decoupaged log cross-cut, someone had a bowling ball.
Seems like a legit and competent student film that used their shoestring budget and limited talent pool to the best effect with an interesting bookend.
So basically it's an anthology film that couldn't commit to being an anthology film, that blew what could have been at least a decent thematic ending for a nonsensical random one. ...seems legit.
Have you guys not seen The Deliverance? Killer hill billies is classic horror! Also The Hills Have Eyes, Cabin Fever (kind of). There's probably a bunch more.
Wrong Turn, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Cabin Fever (a little bit), Wolf Creek (but it's Australian), and Hatchet. There's probably more, it's just never been a particularly popular theme of horror/slasher.
I feel like the ending would have been better if like he thought he was still dreaming and we also thought he was still dreaming but in the end he wasn't.
OMG I'm going to that school in the fall! The one at the end not the one in the movie. I recognized the walls and signs above the doors before you said the name of the school. That's super crazy! Love your vids btw
For a college made movie (probably for a class) it was okay. Besides the Nazi, Cult and Hill Billy parts, it was a pretty good B-grade movie. Slasher was actually my favorite part cuz he _did_ wake up. Then he got hit by a car.
