THE OFFERING (2022) Ending Explained 

you know at least the characters genuinely failed, and failed because they were weak-willed and not because the writers made them incurably stupid

I gotta hand it to the deamon, took out the people with common sense first. The wife literally saw the sacrificial circle, knew to stay out of it, but was in such a rush for relief, she fell into the trap further.

I like this. The characters aren’t stupid. Just people. Art is a fool. Hamish and Hyme are solid characters. The wife is tricked into the array. The demons is cunning. Nice nice.

Really love how more cultures are having their lore explored through the lens of that culture.

The fact that they lost not because of lack of common sense is honestly a breathe of fresh air.

My favorite part is the demon is actually extremely cunning and plays to it strengths perfectly by manipulating everyone and warping reality to fit its ploy

The morgue scenes reminded me of the movie Jane Doe. Both are spooky fun movies.

There's a lot of movies where characters are so incompetent that they don't deserve the win, it's refreshing when they don't.

One thing about horror movies is they keep doing the "hero loses" so much so that it's actually more of a twist when the hero wins at this point lol

A great horror film that entails the Jewish faith is “The Vigil.” Creepy, educational and entertaining.

The moment Art broke the amulet and hid it was the moment I cheered for the demon to take Art

there's something incredible about the idea of a demon just using a elevator

Its really awesome to see a horror film around my culture I don't often see Judaism represented outside of documentaries and films about the Holocaust so this is really cool to me

I do like that as we get away from Hollywood-approved horror and the same 4 -5 directors of horror, we are getting a flood of new or revamped ideas for the genre. There really is something for everyone. I love supernatural horror and most channels want to focus on the thiller/gore films. Not that it's a bad thing but I love the mystery element.

I like to think of this movie as a sequel or companion to Fallen and Frailty. Ancient Demons are doing their thing, and the people who fight against them look like psychopaths to the unknowing.

I really like how the possession was portrayed- at least what I was taught growing up as a Jewish person, while admittedly a bit isolated from other Jews, it's very accurate as to how exactly it's supposed to go down. In that, while if it gets severe enough it can go wild, but for the most part it's very "in your head" rather than physical craziness. And of course, binding the force to an object. I really adore the Jewishness of it all, honestly. Art also has an interesting theme of running away from his fears/emotions. He clearly fled his Jewishness because of the emotions & fears it caused him.

I like how the father’s name is Saul and his friends referred to him as a “good man” because it reminds me of a particular lawyer from Breaking Bad…

Returning to childhood home ✅ Bringing beautiful And loving pregnant wife ✅ Promising "things will be different this time"✅ The unholy Trinity of horror cliches

I don't think I've ever seen a Jewish horror movie. Long comment sorry & going to get into some personal stuff, but I found you're channel about 5 years ago & subscribed, then a few months later I was hit by a car & in the hospital for a few weeks, it broke vertebra in my neck, cracked my skull & de-gloved my scalp, cracked my right shoulder blade almost in half & broke my left leg & shattered my ankle. So now I can't work or get out much so I get lonely & bored, had to move back in with my parents & we just have Direct TV & there's never anything on so now I just watch RU-vid on my Xbox. Talking to my therapist, my medication, weed & you're videos help with my loneliness & boredom & I just wanted to say thank you for that

That was honestly such a good movie. Being able to see a demon that is worthy of its title

“Well thats not very niiice” 🤣you and james are rubbing off of each other

Dear Foundflix, your videos are the best. I found myself rewatching your content for days on end until I finally see you've posted another amazing new video. Thanks for your content dude, you are the man

That demon was playing 4-D chess while Art was sticking checker piece up his nose

Ah the good old fashioned, nobody wins, everyone dies. Happy ending for demon only.

This to me is like The Mortuary Assistant, the movie. Im all for it!

When it comes to Jewish lore, I've heard a few things about demons or "shaydim". There are really two camps when it comes to this stuff and I've been in close contact with both. The main camp is the one that just doesn't really believe in demons and from what I can tell that is most Jews. This is where I find myself. I don't believe in demons and don't like the idea of them so when it comes to things that involve them I don't think they mean anything and I also don't wanna tempt fate just in case. Most rabbis also don't believe in them but acknowledge their belief by others and kinda blow it off. The thing about rabbis tho is they always seem to know more than they let on but that's them. The next group is the more mystical type that believe in kaballah, Jewish mysticism, the shit Madonna was into. I grew up with friends that had direct ties to the Kaballah center in California and they say some weird stuff. To preffice, shaydim in mysticism are very specific. They are people like creatures with chicken feet, that's how you know they are demons is their feet. What they can do is mimic your body and take over your life essentially, not cool dudes. The big story about them that I think put em on the map was king Solomon got into some shit with a shaydim and they took over the kingdom and disguised as him for a while. Dude got his kingdom back but it was a whole thing. What I've also heard about shaydim from rabbis is that you shouldn't mess with them and there are things to do to avoid them. From what I remember it's to not stand near a body of water alone at night and don't like say their names or something. Kaballah is weird and I like most yids don't follow the mysticism stuff. It's predicated on some weird rules like you have to have studied all the books of Moses (the old testament), other works by rabbis, be over 40 years old, and have a few kids so when you start you don't just GO INSANE. I don't subscribe to these opinions but I don't mess with it. Don't have time for these chicken feet demons, I got other shit to do. Just wanted to give info to those who might be curious, there's a lot of stuff when it comes to being Jewish and I've spent too much time in religious school to not at least talk about it on the Internet. Great vid btw as always.

It looks a lot like The Autopsy of Jane Doe from 2016. In fact, are they using the same autopsy set???

"Burn in hell!" "Well, that's not very nice." 😂😂😂

My professor did the score. I'm so glad you liked this.

that sounds great! exploring mythologies is actually a huge reason i love horror movies. speaking of which, have you seen "the vigil"? i saw it at tiff and like what you said here loved the Jewish folklore aspect as you don't see that often. but also, it was the firstmovie in a long time that actually made me scared to walk back home after.

Christian overtones in most possession stories always put me off, so I am very excited to see something from a Jewish perspective!

If you liked this one you’ll love “the vigil” can’t recommend it enough.

The cutaway "uh not too big of a myster there" type quips are why im subscribed lol

I felt like it was a family drama movie and not a horror movie. I cried because of Saul. 😭

Thank you for entertaining videos sir. Whether I watched the movie or not I love to hear your opinion and how you break it down sometimes

You should do a video on Hidden sometime, it's not really a horror film but it's definitely a unique end-of-the-world-virus thriller.

I believe abyzou is the same demon from the possession(2012) which is one of my favorite horror movies of the 2010's

I give you kudos for attempting the Hebrew words and discussing some of the tradition. No small feat!

Loved this, it was a great time revisiting this flick! 🍿 I had covered it a while back and didn't see anyone else covering it, glad it'd getting more love!

I really appreciate these videos. When it seems good and I can watch it, I’ll pause the video to check it out. Found a lot of good movies this way.

The movie reminded me more of the Autopsy of Jane Doe than the conjuring. Especially with the morgue scene, father and son, imagery etc.

It would be nice to see a movie where we can see what happens after the entity arrives-via the strain or omen series

"I wasn't trying to trick him! Just you... for 2 years... but not him!"

Wow, thank you so much for this insightful video! I just finished watching "The Offering" and was completely baffled by the ending, but your explanation has cleared everything up. I never would have guessed that the protagonist's visions were a result of her being a medium and that the whole story was actually a supernatural battle between good and evil. It's amazing how much detail the filmmakers put into every aspect of the story and how everything ties together so perfectly. I'm definitely going to watch it again now that I have a better understanding of what's going on. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and analysis!

Perfect timing..... Just woke up and got the notification.... Thank you Foundflix.

I love that this demon was......well...a demon, it exploited the weak and there by exploited the empathy of the strong, dragging everyone down with them. It's a cruel and cunning thing and this was not a fight, it wasn't even a game, it was just straight up slaughter.

one of the best movie endings ever, totally unexpected, and the movie focused on the small things, most people don’t realize small things, and small details matter alot

A movie where the demon gets exactly what it wants and no one survived

All this demon talk of "I cAn BrInG yOuR lOvEd OnEs BaCk" when Thoros of Myr is literally right there. Resurrection is kinda his thing, people. 🤦‍♂️ (In all seriousness, thank you for this video. Now, my wife and I have a new addition to our Halloween Marathon)

I loved this one it was a great film thank you for your thoughts. Have you explained The Vigil yet?

Ironically, the infamous Pazuzu was often used to help *ward off* the Taker of Children.

My only question is why when you find the sacrifice carvings on the floor they didn't try to destroy it that way it couldn't use it? Or is that never a option?

I was literally just thinking how I’m in need of a new foundflix vid 🥰🥰🥰

Can you imagine.... The movie starts off with the old man sacrificing himself to seal the demon. And the rest of the movie the demon just never gets released. Its just about the couple living a normal life. 😂

Wow this is the earliest I’ve caught one of your videos. Love the content.

you should really cover the comedic/horror "The Blacksmith and The Devil"

I'm not a horror movie person. In fact, most of my horror consumption comes from this channel. But I'm so happy to see some Jewish horror representation. Just one gripe with your analysis: a mezuzah doesn't "protect a house from evil," it is just a symbol saying "this is a Jewish home."

Can you do Triangle of Sadness. It’s definitely a headscratcher for me, but one of the most uniquely interesting movies I’ve seen in a while. Thanks!!!

This is one of my favorite channels to watch. Top 5 easily

Getting to a video this early feels like an offering in itself. Another great video as always!

Do you think there's a reason that the costume dept chose to put Art in a snug black turtleneck with a very prominent zipper tab right at the top of the neck? It makes it look like a priest's collar. Wondering if it's a reference to Judaism vs. Catholicism in it's thoughts on handling the topic of demons.

Snap back to reality, ope there goes gravity, ope There goes rabbi, he choked, demon's so mad but he won't Give up that easy, no, he won't have it, he knows His whole back's to these ropes, it don't matter, he's dope

I’d love to see you do the [REC] series. I’ve seen them all except the last one that I can’t find streaming. Trollhunter is probably my favorite streaming gem.

One of my favorite streaming gems is the 2017 movie “Prodigy.”

Hey would absolutely love it if you covered perfect blue! It has some of the best twists ive ever seen

People saying the ending is bad must have forgotten that “Drag Me to Hell” exists. Or any “evil wins” endings in media.

You know it’s going to be good when Thoros of Myr shows up- even as a rabbi he knows that the night is dark, and full of terrors.

FoundFlix! I miss the cool background music and the Erie backdrop music while you broke down the stories, please bring those back if possible.

Reminds me a bit of the autopsy. Both great

there's an older horror film I enjoyed that you may have not seen from the 2000s called Dead Birds. it is probably dated but it always stuck with me.

Ugh I love found flix videos with a cup of tea late at night!!!

there's a lot to like about this channels videos, but the amount of actual video and stills from each movie is so much more than I've seen elsewhere. he does great job.

Did this remind anyone of The Autopsy Of Jane Doe? It was also a surprise delight about a father and son working in a mortuary.

Just had someone break into my home and this video ist perfect for calming myself down after the police left, thank you for this content :)

That beginning scene was taken straight from a late-game side mission in The Witcher 3. Ibizu was also the demon from the Dybbuk Box in The Possession.

The thumbnail for this was awesome, not a first time viewer ! Lol, but that rly caught me.

Ever watched The Possession of Michael King? Would love to hear your opinion about the movie

Been struggling lately but these videos are always comforting, it's like watching the movies with a friend

At 7:44 I have never wanted to cut & from one of these videos this bad. this movie looks fucking awesome and it’s barely streaming anywhere

18:34 Love Mr.Flix's sense of humor

Tbh I’m not a fan of horror but I did like the lore from this one, especially like it when the demon wins(makes sense there powerful and for those locked away from centuries the knowledge to lock them away has been lost)

Howdie, Can you please explain “Casa Lobo”?

Congrats on getting the Sponsor!

Watch "She Creature" :) Id love to see your take on it, and a lot of people who went on to be famous

This is a great horror movie. Good story, good FX, good acting.

The sponsor of this video is Hello Fresh, reminding you to, "Feed your demon side".

Ain't no way I caught a foundflix upload live

I really enjoyed this one. It was very The Autopsy of Jane Doe meets The Vigil.

that first dude is actually one of the most badass characters in a paranormal horror ive ever seen

I love his videos, I always look forward to watching whatever he uploads!

I felt really bad for Saul...

as a jewish person, I really enjoy this concept! our culture is unique and rich, and this movie takes advantage of that to create an entertaining storyline that's still somehow super creepy. Great video yet again

Hamish actor also played on Game of Thrones as Thoros of Myr. Just in case you were like me and wondering where you saw him

Wait, where did Hamish get a second amulet? The Demon Binding and Baby Food Store?

if this movie is anything like 2012s the Possession, im definitely gonna have to give this a watch

"Sure my son loves you but he loves you like a pet"

"She spins BaAaCk" LMFAO dudes been hanging w Chills too much

You should start plugging where we can find the topic film you're covering. Love your work man ❤❤❤

i too thought this was a cool one. i loved learning about jewish folk, this movie actually taught me something i didn't know!

This movie actually looks really good! Awesome :D Also, I know this might seem like a silly bit of praise, but I really appreciate a female demon getting the starring role for once - well, a female demon that isn't a succubus, that is. And her design looks great to boot!
