Trying to find the worst horror movie 

More like trying to make the worst RU-vid video

To be fair, if somebody monologued about the house I was looking at like that weird guy did, my response would probably also be “okay, thanks man.”

i actually remember seeing Bats in the theater and for the first like 10 mins the film was upside down and everyone just assumed it was a stylistic choice because of the subject matter lol

the first movie being named theres someone inside your house and having nothing to do with a house and then the second one being named bats and ONLY being about bats is so fucking funny to me

I like how in "Bats," they had to redesign the bats to look like horrible winged goblins, bc actual bats are predominantly pretty dadgum cute.

The most unrealistic part of Dream Home is that Black couple would NEVER be that adamant about keeping a house that a random white guy could just walk into and then was super creepy about.

The best characters arcs are built on internal conflicts we all struggle with. Greed vs selflessness. Courage vs fear. Being afraid of bats vs working exclusively with bats. Timeless stories we can all learn from

Not even joking, that last director taught me my film class in high school. He always talked about producing movies and we looked him up on IMDB and were shocked to say the least

i really want a horror movie where the protagonists want to buy a house and instead of telling them how dangerous and haunted the house is, the neighbours keep praising the house and talking about how perfect it is. this goes on until it starts to get unsettling because even people who have never seen the house or set foot inside it keeps talking about how it's the ultimate dream house and how it will drastically improve the lives of the people who are buying it.

pioneering a new movie ranking system based solely on how much the title of the movie exists in the actual film, with bats sitting firmly at the top

"This is no ordinary house. In many ways, it's like any other old house." Great writing.

"doesn't like bats and yet chose a career path entirely devoted to them" bruce wayne sweating

To be fair to Jimmy, one of my roommates LOVES entomology and could tell you everything there is to know about solitary bees, but she absolutely hates touching insects and is creeped out by them.

Dammit. My job of studying bats is once again at odds with my fear of them. Drew's line delivery is so perfect always.

"Ok, thanks buddie" had me rolling. The husband understood none of what Mr. Creeps was trying to convey

I’ve seen “ai generated” be used to describe things that are bad but Dream Homes script managed to do the “ talk in circles whine saying absolutely nothing” that ai does perfectly it’s kinda impressive

Them forgetting to edit the “cut” out had me busting a gut lol

It's amazing how each subsequent movie made the previous one look *so* coherent

The writing/dialogue in Dream House is SO funny. It's like they gave the actors one line, and told them to deliver the same line 5 different ways, but then they used every single line read and stitched it together as if it's somehow a cohesiveness and normal way to speak. "It's no ordinary house. It's just like any other house. This house is special. This house is pretty normal though. The thing about this house is, it's kinda normal. Anyways, that's why you shouldn't move here."

I instantly recognized “there’s someone inside your house” because of the egg timer, but that was one of the only things they kept the same. It seems like some characters were the same, and they kept the fact that the climax took place in a corn maze, but so much of it was changed that it became a different story. They didn’t keep the victims the same, they changed the killer’s identity and motive, they changed the protagonist’s traumatic past, and they changed the big climax (the corn maze wasn’t on fire, for one). The original killer’s motive wasn’t “people who have secrets,” it was “people who were going to leave the small town he lives in.” The first victim was a girl who was a talented actress who would probably head off to Broadway. iirc a few of the other victims were a religious kid who was going to go on a mission trip, a girl who got into a prestigious college, the protagonist because she probably wouldn’t be here for long and was an “outsider,” a football star who was going to get scouted, and so on. The protagonist cut her friend’s hair off and let her wander into the water, where she almost drowned… it had nothing to do with fire. The killer’s identity was also known well before the climax at the corn maze. I can’t tell from this how many other things they changed, but I don’t have high expectations. No wonder the movie was so incoherent and contradictory… they changed random elements of the book to the point where it’s an entirely different story.

Dream Home's production looks like something they just threw together after having wrapped up the filming of some random porno, and the director was "feeling it" and wanted to do a horror-flick. The "quality" of that script _(if there even was one),_ the acting, the directing and the overall production are giving those vibes. It's *so* far from a B-movie that it's like a Q-movie, if we're going by the alphabet.

I absolutely adore the fact that Drew isn't aware of the indie masterpiece 'Bats: Human Harvest' (the sequel to the critically acclaimed 'Bats')

My best friend and I still quote, "Baby I want that house." In the most monotone voice whenever we're talking about things we really want to splurge on lmfaoooo

The girl in dream house has a beautiful voice and doesn't seem as bad at acting as the others, maybe she should take up voice acting? Everyone else involved in that movie didn't even try.

I got SO excited when I saw "BATS". Ive studied several bat species and, because of this, a friend of mine forced me to watch it-----that movie fucking rules. Shit is wild.

My theory is that the Jimmy character in BATS actually has a bat fetish that he’s embarrassed about, so he tries to hide it by constantly talking about how much he hates bats, even as he constantly seeks them out. “Ugh, bats are totally the worst! We’re definitely not getting horny around all these bats, r-right guys?”

"no secrets" "Im in the closet because people will persecute me for being gay. You literally killed the guy who beat me" "No, secrets are always bad"

“okay thanks buddy” is such a great response to someone trying to freak you out

Holy crap, the director of "dream home" was my uber driver once. He had posters for it and copies of it for sale and insisted that I watch the trailer that they had playing on repeat on an ipad strapped to the headrest. This was also in 2021 over a decade after it was release. Decent driver though. Small world lol.

I love how they keep insisting that the 75 year old house is Victorian like hello history is calling you

I love drew criticizing the murderer for killing one guy for a hate crime and then committing another hate crime. Ya know, I’m starting to think this murderer fellow isn’t much of an upstanding gentlemen

Wow. Acting is hard. I think everyone should watch films like this. You'll never take a good performance for granted again.

22:59 THIS IS HOW IT ENDSSS😭😭😭😭😭?????????

A centrist murderer, truly the scariest thing possible.

We just paid almost $200 to have a technician remove a dead mummified bat from our furnace today, so I find the horror of the bats movie pretty believable right now.

there's someone inside your house is basically just the progression of the saw movies: people getting put into terrifying situations/getting killed becuase they are legitimately awful people, and then just. a drug addict

20:38 maam needed to reach the required word count

just for the fact that they so faithfully delivered on the title of the film, I'd give bats a full seal of approval. I mean what more can you expect from it? It didn't promise to be a good movie, but it did promise bats.

I gotta say, Faith and Darren are amazing characters. There's absolutely nothing interesting about them, they're astoundingly oblivious throughout the whole movie, and have frankly inhuman patience for their insanely creepy white neighbours. Just the nicest, plainest couple you've ever seen. That credit card transaction was a cherry on top.

haven't you seen ratatoing? if you stir a pot, you can make anything out of it!

i am so obsessed with the dialogue in dream home it is a few dashes of absurdity away from a tommy wiseau script

You know how sometimes you can immediately tell from the delivery that two actors in the same scene weren't actually on set together? Dream Home is like that but with every actor seeming like they're in their own pocket dimension, even when they're in the same shot and physically interacting.

I watched “There’s Someone Inside Your House” with my dad and we were both completely lost and confused the whole time because we couldn’t figure out who was who. All the male characters look the exact same 🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻

The creepy neighbour is the only guy who did a good job in Dream Home. Delivers his lines well, has a very strong creepy vibe, doesn’t blink, this dude killed it at his role.

Recovering from addiction, and appreciate you saying what you did. Addicts are not immediately horrible people who do horrible things, and addiction does not make someone deserving of bad things to happen to them. honestly even drug dealers are generally nice people.. It also means nothing about your "contribution to society". I work a full time job. Im going to college in spring. I have maintained severeal friendships snd a romantic relationship.. I simply have an addiction. and it hurts absolutely nobody except myself.

21:19 I’m absolutely in love with this exchange, how the random woman is both telling the main character absolutely everything about what’s happened/will happen in excruciating detail while also providing absolutely no information. It’s like the horror movie version of trying to fake your way through a book report for a book you didn’t read.

You can tell the writers of “Bats” were like “We can do Hitchcock’s The Birds but like rad as hell”

Ranking movies based on how much the title reflects the content: There’s Someone Inside Your House: 1/10 Bats: 10/10 perfect film

I wouldn’t be surprised if this became in instant classic among Drew Gooden videos, it’s almost as beautiful is Christmas Mail

Im a little disappointed drew did not count how many times they said bats, however that might have brought him to the brink of insanity

As a person in recovery I appreciate what you said about addiction. I remember a movie that tried to show how terrible all a family was and there was a rapist, a corrupt politician, a murderer, and... an addict? It's so weird they get put on the same level as genuinely terrible people

Maybe Dream House is like that episode of community where chang gets famous and they try to make money off him by making a movie with a minimum of 81 minutes long using footage they already had of him

That delivery on "I think they should be in jail" SENT me. 10/10

I saw Bats a million years ago when it came out. It has possibly the dumbest line in 1990’s cinema. At the end of their introductory scene, Shiela asks Jimmy if he wants to get something to eat. Jimmy responds “Girl, I’m a brother. You know we hungry.”

Drew never fails to give me a good second-hand bad movie experience

My fiancé and I were celebrating his 26th birthday. He was looking forward to having a good time with some drinking. We decides it would be a "fun" idea to take a sip of wine everytime we heard the word "bat" in the Bats movie section of the video(which last for 7 freaking minutes feels like a lot more). It wasn't fun. He was drunk and uncouncions half an hour later. It was 10pm.

I feel like a lot of movies and shows miss one of the coolest/spookiest parts of bats, and that is that they are almost completely silent when they hunt. At least the ones by where I live. Like it is cool when I go out to my parents house late in the evening and I don't really ever see the bats, just see motion as they zip bye and maybe a quiet solitary flap of a wing.

The pianist breaking while saying his line killed me. So funny.

Drew, this has nothing to do with the movie, but as a former/recovering addict, thank you for saying "Addiction doesn't inherently make you a bad person". It's a struggle every day, but I'm making it through. Distracting myself by watching (and rewatching) your, Danny and Kurtis's videos definitely helps get me through the rough days.

no. the worst horror movie is called the litch. when i was 13 i went to a horror convention in florida and a man gave me a deal. $20 for a t-shirt, a sighed photograph (him laying on a bed in a heart spotted robe), his joke book and a dvd… his own movie… worst thing i’ve seen in my life… the first time i started it i turned it off within a few minutes and it took me years to try again. with a friend by my side, we pulled teeth and ripped out hair trying to finish this movie. we did it. i will never forget…

I wanna hear Drew talk about more bad high-budget horror movies, I honestly find those ones way more infuriating

Im dying at the thought of a realtor showing off a house and when the potential buyer asks about the history of the house, the realtor says "that doesn't concern you" 😂 why would you still wanna buy the house after that?!

You KNOW its a day where drew gooden posts about trying to find the worst horror movie when he posts about trying to find the worst horror movie

I feel like no one else is equally embarrassed by his job while also loving his job as much as Drew.

13:37 As soon as I heard the guy say “cut”, I already knew that a movie full of bad writing, acting, and effects is on the horizon. 😂😂

To me, the wildest thing about the second two secrets in “There’s Someone Inside Your House” is that it would’ve been _so_ incredibly easy for them to add in factors that would’ve made them into _actually_ shitty people while keeping their other secrets fully in tact. However, instead they just went with, “Struggling with addiction… BOO” and “Daring to be attracted to the same sex, BOO”. Big yikes! LOL.

With There's Someone Inside Your House it feels like they wrote the first two murders and then realised there was no reason for anyone to want the killer stopped so they had to suddenly have him kill innocent people

Yes PLEASE do a deep dive into that director's 100 movies, barely hitting 2 stars😂

The amount of times I’ve watched this video over the last 2 weeks is insane. Every Drew movie review is so good and this is no exception. The confused detective in the Curse of the Zodiac going “I’m confused” is hillarious and underrated in tuis comment section lol

i recently lost a significant amount of hearing. i just wanted to thank drew for how well captioned all of his videos are. i’ve always loved him but i feel like that is one thing that goes unnoticed that means a lot ♥️

I think people in the comments are not talking enough about the curse of the zodiac. I was laughing out loud during the entire segment, especially when the zodiac killer started to spell zodiac out of nowhere. This video was hilarious

Dream Home (2006) oddly has the same vibes as those crappy ps1 games with oddly endearing 3D FMVs. With the music and that one scene that plays right after Faye finds the necklace under the bed, it reminds me of when you grab an important item in a game and a cutscene plays.

That neighbor in dream home really earned his paycheck lol

I didn’t think it was possible to find a movie worse than bats. I was immediately corrected.

They just covered "Bats" on "How Did This Get Made" and the episode ended with two members of the audience singing a parody of LMFAO's "Shots" where every instance of the word "shots" was replaced with "bats." It is the greatest thing I've ever heard

I watched Bats as a child on tv and it gave me a fear of bats for more years than I'd like to admit, and just rewatched it recently, and it is truly comedy gold.

20:19 reminds me of that scene in the office where angela is trying to explain her frustrations with dwight without giving any sort of details whatsoever

I just finished reading There's Someone Inside Your House and this isn't just a case of "The book is better". This is a case of "The movie changed every single thing about this book except the title and made it SO MUCH WORSE." Imagine if Stanley Kubrick made The Shining about a little boy with the magic power to make car windshields glare. That's how different the two are. I highly highly recommend the book to anyone who is curious about the initial concept being done WELL

I have my own head cannon for Bats where Jimmy was seeing a therapist who introduced him to Exposure therapy but his insurance couldn’t cover anymore visits so Jimmy took exposure therapy too far and got a job study Bats

25:56 i’m so sorry i legitimately thought this was drew in a wig😭

It felt like watching paint dry waiting for the Zodiac to finish spelling Zodiac.

Can we all just take a second to appreciate how drew

The Dream House review is an instant classic

22:00 the funniest fucking thing I’ve seen in a while

16:06 the non intentional comedy is always so funny to me 😭

My local theater just did a showing of The Birds for its 60th anniversary, and I was kind of shocked how scary and intense it actually was for a movie that came out in 1963. The Bats is like they tried to replicate that, except nobody on the crew had ever watched a Hitchcock movie, and also none of them had ever seen a bat before.

Honestly the neighbor in Dream Home was unironically terrifying

this is an instant classic, already on my 'rewatch 100+ times for comfort' playlist

I don't usually comment but this was so god damn hilarious, I really hope you do the deep dive on that dude that made the 100 movies, or if you find more movies like that blockbuster one, that'd be peak content, this was just so good lmao

As someone in recovery for a prescription pill addiction, drew saying addiction doesn’t inherently make you a bad person meant a lot to me. It’s silly but I needed that

I love the way Zodiac guy spells out his name, it's just slow enough that it sounds like he's trying to remember how to spell it as he goes

There’s Somebody Inside Your House was based off a book, which I remember reading once. It was pretty good, and most of the murders were actually inside the victims house, so the title made more sense. The killer’s motivations were better explained and more logical too. It was a 7/10 book that was clearly adapted by somebody who had their own idea for a story and wasn’t happy about being given an adaptation instead, so they just changed stuff to make what they wanted instead.

18:40 Ratatoing

I'm so used to watching old Drew videos that it's weird not knowing what happens next

I remember, around like 2-2.5 years ago, me and my brother watched a "horror" movie about a guy who hires a zombie to do his housework, and the zombie is secretly in love with the dude's wife. So its probably the greatest movie of all time.

dream home gives HUGE axe ‘em energy. the bizarre shots. the low budget. the wooden acting. its all so *chefs kiss*

1:27 the most important question no one is asking is why did he start the timer just to take a nap? Like it can’t wake him up he’s on a different floor and he can’t hear or act because of it because he’s asleep So what’s the point?

A holiday based Drew video on time?? What world are we living in

Bats is no joke one of my favorite movies, it’s so good and stupid, the bat puppets look like gargoyles and I love them, the random shots where it’s warped for some reason, “Bats doctor, it’s Bats.” It makes me so happy. I legit screamed when I saw it in the thumbnail

Ulli lommel was smuggled out of germany to escape the red army and went on to perform with elvis. He worked with andy warhol and several others. Many decades later he cranked out weird movies. Guy is super interesting.
