This is Emily, Henley, and Sammy. And you're listening to Too Scary. Didn't watch.
didn't watch.
Hi everyone! Welcome to Too Scary, Didn't Watch, the horror movie recap podcast for those too scared to watch for themselves.
I'm Emily, and I am too scared to watch scary movies.
I'm Henley, and I'm also too scared to watch scary movies.
I'm Sammy, and I like watching scary movies and telling these two women all about
them.
Oh my god, I'm so freaking excited.
You guys, I
almost forgot what to say in the beginning.
I had a momentary lapse.
It's just your name. It's just exactly
what you say, Emily, and then I
say it right after you.
And it makes me so happy to
be back on the pod.
It's been just too long, you guys.
To be saying those magical words again.
They fill me with
life. They fill me with joy.
My cup
has been refilled.
Oh, thank God.
Wait, how many did I miss?
Do you guys even know?
I don't even know how many I missed.
Three?
Two?
Not that many, to be honest.
Okay, okay.
Not that many, but a couple, yeah.
A bonus episode and two regulars, maybe?
Yeah, I think only two regulars.
Oh, wow.
Well, I'm really happy to be back.
I missed you guys so much.
And I have a baby now the baby is here he has arrived
he's arrived his name is silas he's really tiny he's like so small he's very floppy it took a
while to get used to holding him without feeling like i was just gonna kill him the second i
touched him that's the only time i've held babies. It's like, well, I'm about to kill this
baby because I don't have that long amount of practice. So I can relate to that first feeling.
I'm like, well, he's going to die in my hands. He's going to die in my hands. Babies' heads are
also not like hard. So because they need to be soft, they can come out of your body easier. And so their heads
are squishy. So that doesn't
help because you're like, I'm just definitely
going to murder this baby by accident.
You have to hold their head, but then it's a soft
little head. So it's like, hold it, but not too
much. They're actually
very strong. It's all in your head.
They're very resilient.
I like when they're in the, I call it
the little tree frog stage when they're just the i call it the little like like tree frog
stage when they're just like they just like grip onto you like a little tree frog and just
flop in because there's nothing else they can do and i'm saying this as the person who has
not ever had i like holding other people's because i think as a parent it's the worst
stage ever because you don't sleep and it's impossible but for me love it
I really wish we were in the same city you guys
so you could come over and hold him
that would make me so happy
I wish that so bad
so badly
I know soon
because I'm also
getting married in September
and you guys shall meet him then
and I can't wait
he's so cute and tiny and perfect Silas I'm getting married in September and you guys shall meet him then. And I can't wait. I can't fucking wait.
Cute and tiny and perfect.
Silas.
Wow.
Silas.
I love him so goddamn much.
Silas.
God.
God.
God.
God.
God.
God.
God.
God.
God.
God.
But catch me up on what I missed.
Tell me how you guys are.
Well, it's up with us.
Far less eventful past couple of weeks.
What I was going to talk about today is that I've gotten very...
You guys know I love a project.
And I will, like, you know, my thing was doing clay for a while.
It still sort of is.
But then I was like, no, I sew now.
And I'm going to just make clothes and sew.
And now my thing is sewing.
And it's still both of those things.
But my next thing, which is sort of related, I have in the past few days gotten so into dyeing clothes and fabric.
When Rit dye is what I've been using.
It's fucking cheap.
It's so easy.
There are a million colors.
The world becomes your oyster.
I am obsessed.
I can't stop.
It happened because a client at our salon came in
and she was like, I just dyed a dress of mine.
I did a dip dye.
And she showed me a picture and I was like,
oh, what a cool idea. I have this dress that's like a white it's
off-white silky and it just looks so like bridal like it just looks too and I never know what to
wear it with but it's like if the fit is nice so it's like oh I'll dye that dress and then I was
like I'll dye everything and I have every white thing that I own I'm like just kidding it's not
white anymore it's a color and I'm gonna do this then I own. I'm like, just kidding. It's not white anymore. It's a color.
And I'm going to do this.
Then I dyed napkins.
I bought a tablecloth and dyed it.
Did you dye the shirt you're wearing right now?
Yes, finally.
You better fucking believe it.
You better fucking believe it.
Because this one came out too pink.
This is one of my first ones.
Because different fabrics take the dye in different ways.
So my first round was I had things,
a few things that were white but like stained
or just dingy. And you can like,
you know, I don't wear
this anymore. So let's just see what the deal is.
It's just the world's your oyster
to an extreme
degree. It's not good because
I won't stop. And now it's like
I'm running out of things to them
like I guess I could dye this I guess I don't love the color
that this is so I'm just like going crazy
I feel like I might
you had such success with
the with the earrings
and I feel like why
not make this a full shop one
stop shop for your clothing
for your earrings for
your tablecloths and your napkins i really might
i really might i keep saying i'm going to put together a little like summer market situation
and try to sell some stuff because i've also been making a lot of clothes but i just keep making
like i'm making stuff for for me and for joel and for friends and it's so cheap it's so easy to give
you tips for how to get your dye consistently. You could do a tie dye.
If you want like this that I'm wearing right now, it's like a little more tidy.
But this, I want to just be consistent.
It's easy to do.
It doesn't take that long.
You don't need that many materials.
And you can make something new again.
Do you know what I mean?
And it's more economical.
Instead of getting rid of something, you turn it into something new.
Sustainable.
Better for the environment.
It's freaking great.
It's so great.
And I'm really obsessed with it now. And so
get ready for that to be my new
thing. I love it.
Hell yeah. This is very exciting.
We're going to have to post some pics.
Yeah. When I get some success
stories going, I'll share them.
It's exciting stuff.
That is exciting stuff.
Sammy, can you fucking top that?
Absolutely not. Can you top it? I sure can't. I'm in a stage of life right now where I've finished this job.
And I was telling you guys earlier that it's just now like I have no idea what I do every day.
So this question of how have I been is like, I'm good. I think like,
what have I been doing? Um, mostly been catching up on a lot of chores that had,
had built up, um, catching up on a lot of TV. Um, and I've been doing, taking care of my,
um, physical and mental health more than I was when I was working nonstop. I started going to
acupuncture, which acupuncture is I really like it. I've done it before. And I find it very
relaxing. But there's always like five moments during it where I panic and assume that I'm
going to fall off the table like in Final Destination and all the needles are going to
stab me. So that like kill you if that happens. No, I don't think that it would. Yeah, there's the table like in final destination and all the needles are going to stab into me oh my god so
would that like kill you if that happened no i don't think they're so skinny yeah they're so
tiny i think about but that's what i think about when i'm laying on the table trying to relax it's
like which ones will be worst because and what what should my what should my because i get a lot
in my hands and feet which stresses me out because i can't. If I'm falling, I need to remember not to put my hands out to stop myself because that'll actually be worse.
So I would just need to kind of flop onto my belly where there's no needles or back.
At least you have a plan.
I do. I make a plan.
And then I kind of relax for a bit and I get into it.
I'm like listening to the little white noise machine.
Like, there was a part where I felt like
I was in the womb. It was really
nice. And
but then I'll be like, fuck, fuck, fuck, there's
needles all over me.
And panic again.
I've never done it and I feel like I would be nervous.
I've never done it either. Because I
imagine like you would have a little bit of a feeling
of like claustrophobia sometimes. because you really are kind of trapped.
Yes, you can't move because the needles are in specific points that it doesn't feel good when you move.
You can feel needles in your skin.
Sometimes they're like near nerves.
And so it feels like very bad to move.
That's awful.
to move but it's like a good practice for me and being still because I'm have so much nervous energy that it's like a way for me to force myself to kind of meditate in stillness and
so it ends up being like very very deeply relaxing with little sprinkled moments of panic
um so that's kind of what I've been up to and one other thing that i wanted to say is that i
finished loki which is so good and one thing i learned about it that's so fucking cool
um is that all six episodes uh the director is a woman kate heron all six episodes the
cinematographer is a woman autumn derald and the composer is a woman and Kate Herron. All six episodes, the cinematographer's a woman, Autumn Durald.
And the composer is a woman.
And those are like three
of the big jobs.
And on a fucking Marvel thing,
all of those jobs being women on
all six episodes really just made me feel
really excited and pumped. That's super cool.
And the score is
so fucking good. The score is
really, really good. I agree agree I just haven't seen the last
episode I have one more to go
I'm excited
this has been my favorite Marvel TV show
so far that they've released
so much better than
Captain Winter
Falcon Soldier
Captain Winter Falcon
that was a mess
Captain Winter Falcon I. That was a mess. That's so Captain Winterfell.
I didn't like that one.
First of all, too many words in the title.
It's chaotic.
Pick a word.
None of them are real words.
Chaotic.
Captain Winterfell.
That's not even a title.
I'm not a big fan of Captain America in general, so I wasn't really expecting to like that one.
And I didn't.
So I wasn't too surprised.
I liked it actually a little bit more than I thought I would based on how much I how little I care about those characters in general.
But it's definitely the worst of the three.
And I agree.
I think it goes Loki, WandaVision and then Captain Winter Falcon Soldier.
That's the official title. I'm pretty sure title i'm pretty sure i'm pretty sure yeah um and then another thing i did this week was i well i movie hopped which can you even believe haven't done that since probably
2014 no earlier once assigned seating became regular,
I got a little too scared of...
I don't like to get in trouble. I don't like to break
the rules, but...
I did. I did it.
And the first movie I saw
was this week's movie, which
is old.
The greatest movie title
that there ever was.
So fucking excited. Oh, my God.
M. Night Shyamalan, they just give him so many tries.
They're just like, I was thinking about this.
Like, I have no idea how you feel about this movie, Sammy.
Maybe he knocked it out of the park again, finally.
But it's like M. Night Shyamalan, they've been like, you know what?
Let's just give him another shot.
Let's just let him try one more time.
I mean, I think some of his movies make a lot of money.
I think Split made a lot of money.
I mean, he has a name that people know, you know?
So they're not doing it to give him any favors.
They're trying to make money.
They're not being nice.
It just feels like he's had one too many shots, though.
I don't know.
I don't know.
So, okay, I'm excited to hear what you think.
His filmography is very interesting because it's so all over the place.
There's some truly fantastic films and some of the absolute worst films that have ever been made.
Like The Happening is just undoubtedly one of the worst movies ever made.
This one, I'd say somewhere in the middle.
It's OK.
So, yeah, written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan,
based on a graphic novel by Pierre Oscar Levy
and Frederick Peters, starring an ensemble cast.
We got Gail Garcia Bernal, Vicky Kreps, Rufus Sewell,
Alex Wolfe, Thomasin McKenzie, Abby Lee,
Nikki Amuka Bird, Ken Leung, Eliza Scanlon,
and Aaron Pierre.
Ken Leung is that guy from Saw
who I love. Oh, yeah!
Quite a cast.
Yeah, it's a great cast, which is
part of why I was very excited to see
it, and
I think I talked about it
on the pod when I saw the
trailer for this, because this played before
A Quiet Place 2,
I think, is when I first saw this trailer for this because this played before a quiet place too i think is when i first
saw right this trailer and i was so pumped about it because the concept he just this concept is so
ridiculous and silly but i'm into it it is hour. And this week we are keeping it simple and elegant, just like the title of this week's film.
We are drinking an old fashioned.
And this is the Difford's Guide recipe for an old fashioned.
And to make this version, you will need one and a half ounces of bourbon, one ounce of rye whiskey, a third an ounce of demerara sugar syrup,
and nine drops of Bob's Abbots bitters. You will stir all ingredients with ice and strain into an
ice-filled old-fashioned glass and garnish with an orange zest twist. Cheers. Did they film it
during COVID? Yes.
Oh, they did! Because it's like
they're on like a desert island or something, right?
It's like the perfect COVID setup.
Yeah. Yeah. Here's some
stats for us. It has a
52 on Rotten Tomatoes,
a 53 on Metacritic.
Very rare that Metacritic is higher than
Rotten Tomatoes.
A 6.1 on IMDb
there we go classic
classic rating for IMDb
the budget
was 18 million so far
it has made 23 million it has been
out for at the time of this recording
just three days so
pretty good but I mean
movies tend to make most of their money in the first three days
so could be better.
But also not bad. It's already made money, so that's a good sign.
It is PG-13, which I think it would have been better if it were rated R.
Yeah.
And yeah, it's out now in theaters. If you want to see it, that's how you got to do it. And I went to AMC.
I went to one in Burbank.
It has full recliner chairs.
There's like a button on the side, a button on the side that goes full.
Like you can lay almost completely horizontally to watch the movie.
And I've never been in one like that before.
And I, oh my God, I loved it.
I fucking loved it.
I just did that for the first time at the CityWalk but
not the because the one we went to at CityWalk was
the IMAX in their
regular theaters yeah you can
so this must be an AMC new thing
all the way back yeah
there are a bunch of those in New York and when
on Tim and I when we went one of our first dates
we went to go see Inside Out and they had
those reclining chairs
and Tim was leaning on me.
And when he leaned up, it was a huge wet spot because he just cried so hard.
And it got all over my shirt.
And it was our like third date.
And yeah, so it was filmed in quarantine.
I think it was filmed in September of 2020.
So pretty peak quarantine. I think it was filmed in September of 2020. So pretty peak quarantine,
pretty peak COVID time.
And M. Night Shyamalan said that
the subject matter of the film
in which a group of people
find themselves trapped on an isolated beach
dealing with a deadly phenomenon
mirrored the experience of being in lockdown
and the uncertainty of the coronavirus pandemic,
adding, it was strange.
We were making a film that had nothing to do
with the pandemic, but at the same time
it was absolutely about this fear
and uncertainty we were all feeling.
The fear of infection, it made us think
very deeply about death and survival
and about being in lockdown. The idea
of being stuck in a situation and not
being able to leave, which I thought was interesting
that they just kind of by chance this movie that really is not at all inspired by anything
pandemic related kind of still mirroring some of those same feelings which is kind of interesting
to me yeah that's definitely interesting because he obviously wrote it before coronavirus. Right. And it's based on a graphic novel.
Right.
Oh, I'm really excited.
I'm excited to tell you about it.
Should we watch this trailer?
Yes.
Let's do it.
No kids allowed on the beach?
What?
That's not true!
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
We never leave each other. Nothing us are we there yet you said five
minutes technically it's been more than five minutes let's just all start slowing down
wow you believe i found this online i guess it's not that secret a bit Wow.
Do you believe I found this online?
I guess it's not that secret a piece.
Whoa.
Who would leave this?
From the hotel.
They're so rusted.
What's happening?
Found stuff from the hotel in the sand.
Ready or not, here we come!
What happened to her mom?
I don't know.
What happened to her? Her body has decomposed. How quickly can that happen? I don't know.
What happened to her? The body has decomposed.
How quickly can that happen?
Seven years.
But she just died.
Wait, where are the kids?
Trent!
Kara!
Come here!
Hey, have you seen my children?
Mom?
I'm right here.
Dad, why are you looking at me like that what's happening to us my daughter just turned six two weeks ago
whatever's happening to us is happening very fast. You have wrinkles.
There's something wrong with this beach.
What's happening?
Mom! Mom!
Mom! I'm scared!
We have to get off this beach.
People are blacking out going this way.
If she makes it to the ledge, she might have a chance. Why is she stopping? Why is
she stopping? Can I wake up? Wake up! They have to know what this place does. I don't
know! You're lying! Look. What is that? A message. We never leave each other. Nothing
separates us. We're connected to something bigger.
Oh no.
We're here for a reason.
Wow.
Outrageous.
Outrageous.
Yeah, I mean, I had to see it.
I just had to.
I have to know what happens. I to know i cannot wait to hear what the fuck is up with this movie and also if it was like really distracting
watching those actors play six-year-olds you know what i mean like if you're thinking about that the
whole time like oh he's technically
six yeah i'll tell you i'll tell you i had some thoughts about that um yeah yeah yeah oh my god
like how does she get pregnant like what i can't wait to find that out
she's uh falling asleep as she climbs up a rock like
what's that the idea that
the scary I guess
already their kids have aged like crazy but
then being like you have wrinkles
I know that part's so funny
also he didn't have wrinkles
up until now excuse me
yeah like
are just the kids aging or the adults
are aging but slower
it seems the kids really seem to be aging
I'm going to answer all these questions
I have so many questions
it's also very funny that
it's M. Night Shyamalan
director of Sixth Sense and Split
and a lot of other crap shoots in between
forget about
the ones in the middle
also Split
I know is supposed to be good but it's not nearly
as good as Sixth Sense I'm sure
and so it's funny that those are still the two
you need something else to say
I mean Signs is better than Split
for sure but Split
was a great
vehicle for James McAvoy
to do a bunch of different characters
also it would be
very funny if in 2021
they're targeting you as from
signs and the six
it's like, well,
that's true. 20 years ago.
It's got to do one. People watching this movie weren't
alive when those movies came
out.
Yeah. All right.
Guys, sorry. Speaking about aging aging it's fine but i uh went to a dodgers game
this week and they carded us to to get our beers and the guy reading our ids was like i just look
for if it starts with a one with a one nine i don't even worry about it it's like i don't even
look at the rest because oh my god you in the year 2000 and be 21 years old.
And I was like, holy fucking shit.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
Great.
I know. We had that realization
actually very recently.
And it blew my mind too.
It's very upsetting.
Yeah, that's wild.
It's deeply upsetting.
Also, 1990 was 30 years ago.'s not okay it's wild it's just it's wild
i mean that's like the thing that i like about this movie it is it's like time passing and aging
is fucking scary and it's something that everybody thinks about and so it's like the movie does going
into it i was like it doesn't have to be great like i wasn't expecting it to be great i was like it can either be really good and i'll be happy it can be
bad and i'll be happy like it's just such a fun and good premise that i'm like i just am curious
to see it like no matter what even if it's bad it's still gonna make me think about these things that are scary it's like just like the thought of
death approaching faster and faster is scary yeah so especially when you think about like a six-year-old
experience yeah like a kid losing their childhood in a second yes it's very scary yeah yeah all
right should we fucking do it let's get into it get into it. I used to love back to school shopping
so much that I would tell my mom that I wanted to work at Staples when I grew up,
because I just loved getting all the things that I needed that I would use every day in class.
I still to this day have nightmares about showing up in class without notebooks or number two pencils.
Really scary stuff.
But luckily I wake up and I realize I don't actually need notebooks or number two pencils anymore.
But this fall there is something that I will be using every day and would be terrified to be caught without. And that's
Raycon's best-selling everyday earbuds. I've been trying to go on walks every day, and so I need
earbuds that I can rely on to listen to all my favorite podcasts. And I know you guys listen to
podcasts as well, so you know what I'm talking about. I got my Raycons in carbon black because that's
my vibe, but they come in other cool colors as well, like forest green and brush violet,
but my favorite thing about them is the battery life. They stay charged for 32 hours, and they
have a new quick charge function, So 10 minutes of charging gets you 90
minutes of battery life. Really freaking convenient for, I don't know, say a long morning walk.
You forgot to charge them and you just need a little bit of juice to listen to one episode of a podcast. It's only going to take you 10 minutes.
It's incredible.

So, okay. First of all, I want to just apologize that this will be a slightly
more unreliable slash less detailed one than normal just because i saw it in theaters so
it's harder to take note i actually think i did a pretty good job but some of this might be like
slightly out of order that's fine of course it's way harder to do it when you see it once in
theaters yeah that's totally fine also i again i just want to know the big i'm just like tell me
what the fuck is up like i just want to same same same same yeah yeah well i got you i got i got that much okay so we start with a family in a van on their
way to a resort they're on some sort of tropical um island and we have a mom and dad and two kids
the mom and dad are gail garcia bernal and vicky kreps their names
are guy and prisca and their two children are trent and maddox um trent's a boy maddox is a girl
and uh trent is younger they look to be about and 11. They actually say that they're 6 and 11 later,
so that's how I know, because notoriously
otherwise, who knows what I would have guessed,
but...
8. You would have guessed 8.
Yeah, round them both to 8.
They're both pretty close to 8, honestly.
They also don't look that different
in age to me. Yeah, I would not have guessed
11, so... Me either.
Not at all.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
So Maddox is
singing and
Prisca
says she's kind of
nodding her head along. She's
enjoying her daughter singing and she says,
I can't wait to hear your singing voice when you're older.
Really made me laugh um and they arrive at the resort it's very fancy they are greeted by
um the hotel resort manager and this woman that has these very strange looking cocktails it's
like by the profile you filled out we've chosen these specific cocktails for you.
And they look very intricate and they're just being being treated very nicely and welcomed on in.
And the kids go to kind of a lunch buffet. They all go to a lunch buffet,
but the kids are alone at this table
serving themselves and they meet
the resort manager's
nephew. His name is Idlib.
And Trent and Idlib
are so fucking cute.
It's so cute. This movie does a very
good job of making you
realize how precious childhood
is and these moments of just this movie does a very good job of making you realize how precious childhood is.
And these moments of just these just precocious little children,
like kids just say kind of weird things.
What is it?
What does it say?
He's like,
I collect conch shells.
I have 42 and Trent's like,
that's so cool.
I do this.
And this is what,
like,
this is my thing.
And they're like,
whoa,
cool thing. And so cool. I do this. And this is what, like, this is my thing. And they're like, whoa, cool thing.
And like.
That's so cute.
It's so sincere.
Yeah.
It's so like unguarded.
Yeah, exactly.
They're just like, hello.
Imagine going up to someone and being like, I mean, I guess I kind of do.
Hi, I dye clothes now.
I have eight different pairs of clothes that I dyed.
Yeah, exactly.
It's really sweet.
I'll give you the link.
It's really sweet. I'll give you the link. It's very sweet.
And so Trent and Idlib become fast friends.
And after lunch, the family and Idlib go out to the beach.
There's kind of a pool near the beach and all the rest of the guests are there.
And Trent and Idlib are going up to each person saying,
Hi, I'm Trent.
I'm Idlib.
What's your name and what's your occupation?
Oh, that's so cute.
Person to person.
What's your occupation?
I liked also the detail that he varies it from person to person.
Hi, what do you do for a living?
What's your name and what do you do for a living?
Some people he says, what's your name and what do you do for a living some people he says what's your occupation it's very cute and like he meets this um these three people and they're like they are just so think it's so freaking cute and they're
like oh i'm a nurse i'm a cop i'm a dancer and they're just like very charming charming everybody
on the beach these two adorable little children and knowing what we know what's coming
it's just like they're really leaning into like how precious childhood is and how much you just
want them to like stay that age forever so they're they're already on the beach that we saw on the
trailer no this is a different beach this is like the main beach lots of lots of uh tourists here it's a pretty crowded beach got it got it um
and maddox is like in a pre-teen phase you can see her looking at the older cooler kids feeling
like she wants to go over and hang out with them but um is still kind of a kid and kind of hangs with her little brother, Nidlib.
And she's just a little too old for them, but a little too young for the cool kids.
And so she's in kind of that in-between phase.
And we just see that they're a very happy, sweet family.
And they go back to the room at night to get to bed and prisca and guy are in their room together
and they get in a little bit of a fight and through this fight we find out that they are
actually planning to separate after this that this is their kind of last family trip um and
they start yelling at each other and it seems that Guy wants to stay together.
Prisca is done.
And we also hear that she has some health problem.
That's kind of maybe made her want to make this change.
Like she's feeling like she doesn't have as much time left perhaps or something.'s it's kind of vague it doesn't give you a lot of answers yet but we see that she has
a health condition they're separating and they're kind of yelling at each other uh she says something
like you're always worried about the future like why because he's like well we could do this we
could do this she's like you're always thinking about the future and he's like well you're always
stuck in the past and like why can't we ever just be in the present together a lot of
references to time
and
we see outside of the room that
Trent and Maddox are just literally
right outside the door listening to this whole
fight kind of holding each other like they've
probably heard similar fights before
Maddox is
comforting Trent like it's okay
it's gonna be okay like we have each other we're still stick together
and
Trent
remembers that he has a little note from
Idlib that he pulls out
and they've made some sort
of secret code language where each
symbol is a different letter
in the alphabet and so he decodes
this message and says uh ice cream tomorrow
like and he's he's all excited to see his friend live in the morning and um so the next morning
they oh no that night we see on the beach that we saw in the trailer a man and a woman uh kind of there alone
and the woman gets naked and is looking uh alluringly as she like gets into the water
this is kind of just like a maybe a couple romantically having a nighttime a nighttime
beach time an old nighttime beach time nighttime beach time love a nighttime beach time. An old nighttime beach time. Nighttime beach time.
Love a nighttime beach time.
My favorite pastime is a nighttime beach time.
The idea of swimming in the ocean after dark,
it killed me.
Like, I can't.
Are you kidding?
Sharks.
It sounds very, very scary.
I've done it. So scary.
But it's scary.
But we don't really see what happens.
We just see that they're there.
And then we cut to the next morning breakfast back at the resort.
We see some of the other people that are staying there.
There's a man and a woman, Charles and Crystal.
And Charles is clearly much older than Crystal.
This is his wife and they have a daughter together.
He looks
to be 50 and she's
in her 20s type of
thing and his
mother is also with them
and
that's Rufus Sewell.
Yep. And Abby Lee
is the
wife and they're ordering breakfast and she's kind of flirting with the waiter.
She's they give her this very Instagram model vibe of very vain.
And she's asking she's ordering like a juice and she's like is it really calcium enriched
because i have a calcium deficiency and he's like yes calcium enriched yeah and um i don't know
she's like flirting with him and at some point like says something to her daughter like sit up
straight honey like men don't like it when women slouch like it's just kind of this very very um uh looks
yeah it's shallow shallow exactly and uh we see at another table a woman starts having a seizure
and her husband kind of runs to her side and just lays her on her back and uh and charles at who we just saw at the other table runs
up he's like i'm a doctor and they just they get her through her seizure it ends and she's like
obviously this has happened before um and her husband makes kind of a little joke like, oh yeah, you just love being the center of attention.
She laughs and they get back to, she's like, I'm sorry I ruined everybody's breakfast.
They seem like a nice couple.
This is, um, Ken Lung and Nikki Amuka Bird.
And so we've just kind of now seen a few of the other guests and the resort manager comes up table to
table saying you know how's your stay so far what are your plans for the day and uh guy and prisca
say you know we don't know what we're really doing today we're kind of looking to maybe
go to the beach but we were not sure and he says well i've got something for you
there's a there's another beach that's much more private that we don't really tell everybody about
so you and the you your family could go there um we could have a driver take you there it's like a
much more private um beach and you're like oh that sounds great and we see idlib across the way
trying to go to trent walk up to trent they're waving at each other like they're friends they're
so excited to see each other and someone kind of moves idlib away and like won't let him walk over there and he looks it looks very stressed and uh is uh then just walked
off and we don't see where he goes right now idlib is in the know idlib knows the speech
can't wait to find out why they want to sacrifice people to this god of aging
yeah clearly they're it's, I don't know,
it's how they make money.
Clearly it's how they make money.
It's the only reason
I can imagine. It's the only reason anyone does
anything, to be completely honest. It's true.
So
they're loaded
into a van driven by
M. Night Shyamalan himself. He always makes a little cameo. He loves it. So cute by M. Night Shyamalan himself.
He always makes a little cameo.
So cute of M. Night Shyamalan.
It's so cute.
Fancies himself a little.
Alfred Hitchcock.
And Crystal and Charles and their daughter and grandma and dog are also loaded into this van.
So they're all going to this beach and
they drive away the dog too you said there's a dog yeah that's emily
emily just got very scared the movie just went next level because there's a dog present dogs
age differently than humans i can't find out to find out. Yeah, it's the other
family's dog, and so
they get to, they drive
a while, and they get to this kind
of path in
the forest.
Forest? Woods?
What do you call when it's tropical? Forest, I guess.
Yeah.
Rain.
Rain. Forest.
Rain. Tropical. Forest. guess yeah uh rain rain forest tropical forest tree tree grove a grove of trees grove of jungle jungle yeah it's kind of it's kind of a path in the jungle and there's some little Are we geniuses?
Very smart.
Very, very, very smart.
Okay.
There's like a fence that blocks off this path and
M. Night Shyamalan starts
unloading these picnic baskets that they
have provided for the
families. Like, here's
your stuff to have a nice beach day.
And there's tons of food in it.
And they're like, oh my God, this is so much stuff.
And he's like, yeah, like we like to just
don't want anybody going hungry.
And so it gives them kind of a lot of stuff.
And Charles asks him, can you help us with this?
Like, this is so much stuff.
And he's like, unfortunately, I got to get back.
But it's just right there.
It's not far at all. You'll just walk through the slot canyon and it's right on the other side
m.i. shemalon gets in the van leaves they carry all their uh stuff through this slot canyon
and emerge the other side onto a beautiful beach um that's all empty except for the man that we saw there the night before.
Not the woman.
And he is just sitting by himself, kind of staring off into space.
And so they set up on their beach to set up their umbrellas and their towels and whatnot.
umbrellas and their towels and whatnot and uh maddox says to her mom says to prisca noticing the man she's like mom mom mom that's mid-sized sedan which is the funniest character name
and i guess he is some sort of rapper that uh she. I thought she saw him driving
in a mid-sized sedan. That's kind of what I thought
at first as well, but they ask him
later what his name is and he's like, I'm mid-sized
sedan. That's really
funny. That's actually great. I love it.
It's very funny.
And
you can see that Maddox is a fan and she's
kind of stressed about it.
And she's like,
I got to go talk to him.
I got to go talk to him.
She's like,
yeah,
like we'll talk to him in a bit.
Like let's get up,
set up first.
And,
uh,
the kids kind of all go off together.
There's Maddox and Trent,
but also Kara,
the other daughter who seems to be about Trent's age,
also about six.
And they're playing tag,
running around and they stumble upon a bunch of buried
things near the like on a corner of this beach rusted uh silverware from previous picnic baskets
some kind of dolls sunglasses they're just discovering a bunch of buried stuff in the sand
and they think it's cool like buried treasure like oh look at all this stuff
and prisca and guy just kind of don't really take much notice of it they're like okay well be
careful like don't you know cut yourself on any of the knives or whatever and then the kids start
playing hide and seek and trent swims and hides in the water kind of behind in like a little enclave it's like the
whole the whole beach is a big cove and there's high high rock walls everywhere that kind of um
go in and out so you can he's hiding behind one of the rock walls in the water and uh as he is like treading water we see a blonde head of hair
floating behind him and bump into him he starts screaming the parents run over and pull out a
corpse of the woman we saw from the night before um and uh mid-size sedan obviously recognizes her as the woman he
was with the night before he's being weird like especially knowing what we know as an audience
it's like why isn't this guy like immediately saying everything to this family yeah and yeah
freaking out that this woman disappeared last
night and now the next day he's just kind of sitting there still here yeah hanging out so
we're he's a little weird but um he seems to be in shock maybe um and her corpse just looks like
how she looked like she hasn't like aged or anything like that. She just looks the same. Right. Okay. And so they pull her out of the water and Charles is quickly, he's the older doctor
guy, is like super suspicious of midsize sedan.
He's like, who are you?
What the fuck's going on?
Yeah, of course.
Of course.
He's like, who are you?
What the fuck's going on?
Of course.
Of course.
And Guy and Prisca are very much trying to lower tensions and be like, OK, we don't know.
Like, relax.
Like, let's figure this out.
Like, we don't need to start screaming at each other. We need to just like stay calm.
And midsize sedan's nose is is bleeding like pouring blood pretty consistently and they're like
charles says clearly they like gonna fight he hit her she must have hit him back that's why his nose
is bleeding and mid-sized sedan says my nose has been bleeding for eight hours like it won't stop
bleeding like i don't know what's going on and uh at that they they cover the body with a towel so the kids can't see and at that moment
jaron uh oh the couple that the woman had a seizure that couple arrives their names are jaron
and patricia and uh the family runs up to them says oh good good good is the van driver still
here like we need to go back to the hotel some there's something bad has happened and show them the body quickly they're
all like oh fuck okay like i think he left already but let's try to go back and uh jaron
starts walking back through the slot canyon it's like i'll run back see if i can get him he gets about 20 feet
into the slot canyon and then something happens where he's it seems like he's getting a pounding
headache kind of like a loud noise is happening he grabs his head and kind of falls to his knees
in pain and then blacks out and then comes back to right at the
entrance back on the beach.
And everyone's standing over him saying,
what happened?
What happened?
You stumbled out like screaming in pain.
Um,
and he's like,
I don't know.
It felt like I was,
uh,
like very deep underwater.
Like there was pressure on my head.
Um,
I blacked out.
And,
um,
at that moment, at that moment, crystal yells from the other side of the beach charles something's wrong with your mom and they run over to charles's mom and she is
i can't really remember what she says she kind of says something to him like it's going to be okay
and she dies. She just dies.
And then they
say something's happening to the dog.
Dog dies. So
the mom and the dog died immediately.
Um
and he's been through
seven times the amount of time that they've been through.
Yeah, that's a good point.
It's a great point.
And so Charles Crystal seven times the amount of time that they've been through yeah that's a good point it's a great point and so charles crystal and guy and prisca are kind of standing over the bodies trying to figure out what to do there that jaron and patricia are left to kind of watch the kids and keep them
away from the mounting amount of dead bodies on the beach and darren or jaron and patricia say oh how old are you guys actually let me guess like i'm so
good at guessing kids ages just funny just there's all these moments that are just like you roll your
eyes like okay such a device but um he's like you're six and you're 11 or no no sorry he says you're 11 and you're
16 and they're like no we're 6 and 11 and he's like no like no you're you're not like you're
11 and 16 right like how how old are you really and the camera reveals that they are not yes they are now um about 11 and 16 they have
they have aged and but they're not the actors yet of the oldest version okay no and
um so and i will say the casting is pretty good because they have to cast quite a few different ages for these kids um and
at this moment charles starts acting very unhinged all of a sudden and we're not quite sure why
after seeing his mom die he kind of walks over to mid-size sedan with a knife and slices midsize sedan's face.
And everyone kind of turns around like, well, what the fuck?
What are you doing?
And Charles looks kind of out of it and as if he doesn't know what he just did.
And midsize sedan is holding his hand over his face like, man, that's fucking assault.
Like, I'm going to you're going to go to jail for this.
Jail is going to be the least of anybody's problems
yeah seriously
oh jail
you wish
there's no jail in hell
jail sounds great
I wish I could go to jail
yeah and so he's holding his face and
Guy says let me see let me see
and he takes his hand off and it's a
healed scar
which is kind of cool um and
so they're all time has sped up they're stressed and then at this moment guy and prisca are like
where are the kids where are the kids and see that their kids are have grown are not the same kids they were 20 minutes ago and uh maddox
is like spilling out of her bathing suit which is like a sad little detail and her mom's like
i have a spare bathing suit in my bag like you need to go change because she has boobs now and so they
they're like okay something is very wrong on this beach we need to get the fuck off this beach
Charles and Guy again start walking down the slot canyon same thing happens their head starts
pounding and they wake back up on the beach and Jaron says okay three people now have blacked out as they try to leave
um something's going on and patricia says i'm a psychologist maybe we're having some sort of
shared delusion that's a thing that can happen when everyone's under stress like everyone tell me your medical like your medical history and why
you're here and crystal says that charles has been under a lot of stress as a doctor his job's very
stressful and so they just needed some time and we can see charles get very annoyed that she's
saying this and he's like like none of that's our business and she's like i won't say anything else
like i'm not saying anything else like that's all i'll say he's just been under a lot of stress and prisca says we wanted to come as a family
and they're holding stuff back they don't want to be like you know i have a tumor and we're
getting divorced they're not really being forthcoming with their information but then
i think mid-size sedan says i came here last night
with that girl we just met the night before um and bonded because she had cancer and i have been
just recently recently diagnosed with a rare blood disease where my blood can't clot which is perhaps why his nose won't stop bleeding um and prisca says
that they just stumbled upon this resort through some sort of ad they responded to
like a sweepstakes maybe and it was all it all happened very fast and the resort basically
organized everything for them booked their flights and whatnot.
So they're like, someone's doing this to us. And they look up at the top of the cliff and there's some sort of light coming from it, like maybe a light shining on them, maybe the reflection of a camera, something like that.
They think that there's somebody up there watching them.
them um and as oh and they realized that the hotel manager made them all leave their passports in their rooms um because he said like oh i don't want you to lose your passports on the beach and
they kind of put together that they'll be able to take their stuff back to their houses and make it
look like they had never left so that they
could maybe just be missing persons and as they're all kind of gathered together prisca
starts getting woozy she's like i feel i don't i don't feel good she collapses and at this point
guy reveals she has a tumor and it's about three centimeters and Charles comes up to look at her.
He's a doctor and
he's like, this is not three centimeters.
This is the size of a baseball. And we look and
the tumor is pretty big and
it seems to be getting
bigger by the minute. Oh, God.
Where is it?
It's on her hip, like low
abdomen.
And she is unconscious and charles says we have to operate on her is
that okay like that's your guide are you okay with that he's like i can't i don't want to make
this decision but like yeah it's like i guess i guess we have to and they get a knife, slice into her abdomen and make like a big like five inch incision.
And it just immediately heals back up.
And they're like, fuck.
And they're like, we have to all hold it open.
And so they again, again, slice.
And he's just and this is the part where I actually i mean i guess i'm just gross but i wish
that it was rated r because they just don't this is all basically played on all of their faces
and so you just yeah aside from the original aside from the first like incision um which they do show
but they don't show anyone's hands in it um which i wish they did but they yeah no i don't think
that's you being gross i think it's like hey if you're gonna fucking do it do it yeah yeah
if you're like we're all gonna hold this
woman's body open while the tumor
it's like fucking do it
they're like saying things they're they're describing
things verbally that I'm like
just fucking show it like they're like the skin
the healing around our fingers and I'm
like show it
this is the thing with M. Night Shyamalan movies I feel like Split was R
but I feel like most of them are PG-13
he's trying to get that PG-13
money yeah he really
is he really is and for good reason
because it works
in his favor but so by the
time they are actually able to make
a large enough incision the tumor
is the size of a cantaloupe
and they do show they do show them
lifting it out and it is pretty gross oh but they don't i mean they don't even have to sew her back
up it just it just closes up and heals on its own so that's one benefit of the surgery happening
here is that it just heals she wakes up and she feels fine wow okay. Okay. That's great. I love this beach.
Oh, and something that happens while Charles is doing the surgery is he says, like, mid-surgery, he says, there's a movie starring Jack Nicholson and Marlon Brando.
What is the name of that movie?
What's the name of that movie?
And Crystal, his wife, is kind of like, okay, can we focus here?
And he won't stop saying it he like
says it over he's getting dementia keeps like pausing and it's like what's the name of that
movie what's the name of that movie um so they get they get that out they're all kind of recovering
mid-sized sedan walks back over to the girl the dead girl covered with the towel lifts it up
it's just bones now and they he screams calls everyone over
they're like what the fuck how long has would it take to do that and prisca set prisca works at a
museum and so she's like i don't totally know but i i think it would usually take about seven years
for a body to decompose um and they're like she just died and so this they start kind
of doing some math they all have like convenient jobs for this i love a movie with math and they
realize that they're aging about two years per hour and the kids it's obviously showing much more dramatically because they are going
through puberty and a lot of changes but an adult aging two years isn't necessarily a visible change
so for the for the older for the grandma and the kids it's obviously more noticeable but the rest
of them they they're all aging at the same rate. It's just less visible on the
middle-aged people.
Got it. Okay. That answers
that question, because I didn't know if it was faster
for the children. No, it's same
speed. But so, okay, so two years
per hour means... So how long have they
fucking been on this beach? That's a long
day. I know, they've
already been there for a while. The kids have aged five years
apiece. So a couple
hours. Two and a half hours? Yeah.
Alright, I guess that's not that long.
It's a long day on the beach.
I can't be on the beach.
I can't be on the beach longer than 45 minutes.
And
so, yeah,
they basically realized that 24 hours
is 48 years.
And so they have like a day ish to get off this
beach oh fuck before they die that feels that's a lot that's a lot yeah that's too much uh and
in all of this commotion they've been distracted and we look over maddox is now an adult woman. Kara and Trent are now teenagers. So they're look about 17 and she's probably 21, 22.
So now are they the actors?
Yes.
Now they're Alex Wolfe, Eliza Scanlon and Thomas and Mackenzie.
Yes.
And so your other question is that it is funny that they're still kind of acting like kids and
alex wolf specifically well no i guess all of them i think they all actually do a pretty good
good performances where it's they're childlike but not like ridiculous like it's not like silly
it's a little silly but i think they do do good. They do a good job. And, uh, well,
some things will happen in a bit.
That'll kind of also help explain it.
But this is also when Prisca notices guys getting wrinkles,
which how Gail Garcia Bernal didn't have wrinkles before is crazy.
Lucky.
I have,
I have wrinkles.
Yeah,
me too.
Um,
and, uh, wrinkles yeah me too um and uh then we hear crystal start screaming on the other side of the beach and we see charles murdering mid-sized sedan stabbing him over and over and over in the
chest like muttering to himself like you're like dangerous like i don't know he's he's Charles is clearly becoming more and more unhinged.
Everyone nervously approaches him and are trying to get this knife away from him.
And they eventually do.
And he kind of is shaking and and sits down and is muttering to himself, kind of goes and sits in the in the corner of the beach by himself.
They're all say we need to keep an eye on him we've got the
knife away from him and um is mid-size sedan dead oh yeah yeah he stabbed him oh yeah he stabbed him
many many times yeah yeah well then i would say they definitely do need to keep an eye on this man
they just murdered someone else for no reason at the very least let's keep an eye let's just keep an eye let's keep an eye on him uh they the adults are kind of grouped together they send the kids to uh well i don't know where
maddox goes but cara and trent go in a little tent by themselves and they're laying talking to each other and kind of realizing that or one of them says like our bodies are changing, but like my mind is changing to like I feel different.
Seemingly getting less childlike mentally as well.
Like they are also emotionally aging.
Oh, interesting.
Okay.
They're cognizant of that
they're gonna miss prom that they're gonna miss out on these other things they're saying this
isn't fair they're they're sounding like teenagers that makes sense because it sounds like charles
has some kind of brain yeah like disease and so it's obviously affecting your brain as well which
i think is yeah the way to the i'm glad that it is this way and that they're not just acting like six-year-olds um so they they they do initially at first just to kind
to kind of bridge that gap and then quickly kind of start acting their own age but still with
they're just totally confused and scared and so um but they're huddled together in this little tent and
you know they're starting to get horny
yeah i just i just figured out how she gets pregnant i just figured it out oh boy and
oh god and if if two if it two years is one hour, nine months is fast.
Really fast.
Really fast.
All right.
No, sorry, Sammy.
You tell it.
I'm just freaked out.
And so you see them kind of like, oh, like, I'm feeling weird.
And they're kind of touching each other's faces.
And we're like, oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
Oh, no.
And then we go back to the group of adults jaron is saying
does it like who's the strongest swimmer does anyone feel like they could swim out of this
cove that's about a hundred meters or so and then an unknown length to wherever the next
shore is like basically we have to get out of this cove and then who knows how much longer it is the other way nobody's nobody's jumping to volunteer for this but he's just saying you know we're
doing we're spitballing here there we've got to get off this fucking island and or off this beach
and um then they're like okay where are the kids and they come walking back to the direction of
the tent and the way this is filmed is really cool
the camera's just panning back and forth and so we're on the parents and we see kind of all of
their facial expressions as they see the kids emerge from the tent and pan over and we see she's fully like looks to be five months pregnant
and oh my god they're holding hands and everyone is just in such shock and but they're doing the
math real quick and like there's no time to be like you guys had sex they're just very quickly like this is a medical issue and uh the yeah camera's just like
as someone who just gave birth i would like to say i am so glad it didn't happen to me in this
this certainly really dodged a bullet this certainly seems worse than regular regular birth yeah yep yep yep and
uh so yeah it's panning back and forth basically each time the camera gets to
cara she is more pregnant they lay her down they're like it's happening now her stomach is
growing in front of her eyes she is screaming in panic she calls to her mom
mom i'm scared her mom is so freaked out that her mom runs away her mom by the way is like 20
something right and so it's like definitely not prepared prepared for this and just kind of runs
away in shock and collapses and um we see trent freaking out and guy holding trent trying to calm
him down trent yells i'll marry her i'll marry her i'm gonna marry her oh that's so sad that
ain't the concern oh buddy oh we don't care. That's really cute, though.
It was cute.
I liked that little touch.
And while the camera is on Trent, we hear the baby cry.
And then we hear the baby stop crying.
And the camera pans back over.
Baby is wrapped in a towel.
Baby has died.
And someone says the baby died
from lack of attention.
The baby was set down
for a minute
and it died. Because a minute
is I guess
I don't know. I can't do that fast enough.
Oh that's so sad. That is so
sad. I don't like that.
Why is there a dead baby
in every movie we do you guys? I don't like it. I don't like that. Why is there a dead baby in every movie we do, you guys?
I don't like it.
I don't like it.
We knew this baby's life wasn't going to be good
regardless. Honestly, for them, I feel
like it's maybe lucky that now they
don't have another
baby, instant child, instant teen.
I would have been interesting
to see a baby progress
through all the stages, though. That would have been interesting. We can't fucking do that. I would have been interesting to see a baby progress through all the stages though.
That would have been interesting.
But lack of attention.
Wow, that makes me so sad.
Sorry, Henley.
Yeah.
Okay, moving on.
Are they all starving? That just reminds
me, like, should they be eating constantly?
Yes, okay, so I haven't, I forgot to mention
but yeah, remember how the
gave them tons and tons of food. And so yes, they are they be eating yes okay so i haven't i forgot to mention but yeah remember how the the gave so much
food tons and tons of food and so yes they are they are starving and especially yes the teenagers
are eating the most they're eating a lot i said it before i'll say it again i like this beach
lots of food lots of food that's a plus that's a plus for sure. And it's starting to get dark.
And Patricia realizes she hasn't had a seizure all day, which by the way that time works should be impossible because she has them regularly.
And Kara and Trent are crying over the loss of their baby.
God, I'm sorry, Henley, who is now just bones.
A little blanket full of bones.
Oh my god. Oh, that's so sad.
That's so sad.
I hate it. Charles
sees Crystal
and says, like,
he's disgusted by her and he's like, go put
some makeup on. And we see Crystal
now has wrinkles as well.
And go put some makeup on? He's an asshole has wrinkles as well and um go put some he's an asshole oh well bad right well well charles is also like devolving into
he did already murder someone this is you know yeah arguably worse
i feel like also rufus sewell's like incapable Like he always plays an asshole
Like he just looks like a fucking asshole
He's great at it
He looks scary and bad
I saw him at Little Dom's once but I didn't talk to him
So I can't confirm or deny if he is an asshole
Probably not
I feel like usually when people play assholes all the time
They're not actually assholes
But who knows
And so Crystal is mortified run goes and runs
and hides in one of like there's kind of like some cave-y type areas where the rock goes in
and so she's just kind of run away from everybody um kara and trent bury their baby. And Kara kind of hits a breaking point and starts trying to climb the rock wall, which is just absolutely vertical.
It's a 90 degree angle of rock.
And she just starts climbing.
And Trent is screaming at her to get down, to stop, because he's like, you're going to black out when you're climbing.
Because anytime anyone gets to a certain point of trying to leave they black out
and sure enough she gets really really high blacks out and falls to her death
prisca and maddox are on a different part of the beach and they get in a fight and Prisca or Maddox
confronts her basically about the divorce and says you're getting a divorce right like you
wouldn't tell us but you're getting a divorce and Prisca says yes there is i'm i'm really sorry and
maddox is very angry and storms about to storm off and says i just need some time
just another funny line and i think i think prisca might even say we don't have any time
classic uh but maddox then goes into the water for a swim to clear her mind
oh oh uh after after kara fell jaron went to to swim out he was like okay i'm gonna try to swim
out and get help maddox goes into the water. Jaren's body floats up.
Jaren died. Yep. Because if you black
out swimming, you're
gonna drown. Really bad situation. Yeah.
Don't want to be swimming.
Not as bad as on top
of a cliff, actually, but
still pretty bad.
The result is the same.
The result is the same.
And so now it's really getting dark.
And back on the beach, Patricia has seemingly a bunch of seizures at once.
Like all of the seizures that had been put off.
It just has one grand mal seizure.
Weird.
And dies.
Fucking hell.
And as they are trying to tend to her or holding her as she has just died
guy's vision starts blurring completely and he can't see he's holding her and he can't see and
he's kind of looking around and everything's really really blurry and fading and like getting darker and we see prisca uh again again the camera like
panning side to side like with her face as it looks like she's listening and she covers one
ear and everything goes quiet so she's lost hearing in one of her ears and is losing hearing
in her in her other ear are they looking like visibly older is everyone looking
like does alex wolf age more and stuff like that um they kind of subtly um get more wrinkles and
gray hair not not alex wolf and mcken thomas and mckenzie yet there's they're uh maybe Thomas and Mackenzie yet. They're maybe like stubble or something.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
But Guy and Prisca, yes, are looking older.
So they're all sitting on the beach.
It's nighttime now.
They're the only ones left.
No, Charles is still alive.
Charles and Crystal are still alive and we hear charles
um muttering to himself again and hear the sound of a knife like a metal sound and guy looks over
and can just see like a shape moving towards him and he turns to Prisca to say what is that
what is that and she can't hear him and so they're just like sitting there as Charles approaches
with the knife and starts just slicing them with a knife and as he's like he's like flinging the
knife at them slicing a guy puts his arms up to defend himself, getting sliced across the arms.
And the wounds are just immediately healing.
So he's able to just be like sliced over and over and using his arms as a shield and is staying somewhat safe because he's just healing so quickly.
safe because he's just healing so quickly and at one point prisca uh puts herself over guy as a shield and just gets slices all over her back and so her
shirt's all torn up but again it's just healing and healing she yells at the kids to go hide
um so they uh go into another little rock no it's four against one fucking tackle this old
fucker and they're trying yeah i don't know they're just they don't have any weapon and so
i don't know yeah they should tackle them but um so they run they run to hide and
they run into crystal who is in the like a little cave basically and they have a book of matches
and they're lighting it to try to try to see her and she's like don't look at me don't look at me
oh my god oh my god and we see her and she has um like scoliosis maybe we knew earlier that she had a calcium deficiency and so her her bones are
growing uh not the right way and so she's looks uh like has a hunchback and also wrinkles and
obviously only cares about her look so she's very um just really upset. And screaming at them. Don't look at, don't look at me. Don't look at me.
Um,
and she picks up a big rock and looks like she's maybe going to throw it at them,
but instead throws it on herself as a way to maybe try to kill herself.
But she basically just drops a heavy rock on her shoulder,
dislocates it,
and it immediately heals out of place.
Ew!
And so her arm is stuck at this very unsettling angle.
And she starts, like, running at them.
This part's pretty silly, but also interesting.
It's fun, I guess.
It's fun.
I don't know. It's something. It's not like anything else and they are scared of her she's freaking out and chases them through this small little
rock tunnel but she's flailing around freaking out and each time she hits the wall her
she's like breaking a limb and it's healing wrong and so she i don't know maybe she's trying to kill
herself in this way of just like she's realized that this is all she can do i like all the all
the only way she can hurt herself but so she's basically flinging herself
against the walls over and over and we see her arms and legs just basically become zigzag broken
at every spot and she turns up like scrunches up into a little like spider and eventually dies
that way and so they watch her kill herself in this very
very crazy way.
What? Okay. I guess you can die
that way. I don't know.
Eventually you probably like smush
your organs or
can't breathe.
I don't know. Yeah. And then we see
back on the beach Prisca
returns to Guy
who is still getting sliced and she slices Charles on the beach prisca returns to guy who is still getting sliced and she slices uh charles on the
arm and we zoom in on the cut and it's not healing and it's just pouring more blood and he's looking
at it everyone kind of stops thinking why isn't this healing And she shows her knife is one of the rusted knives
that was already on the beach from a previous picnic basket.
And she says rust acts like poison in the bloodstream.
And we see it basically just spread this dark color under his skin,
like he's getting blood poisoning.
And his skin turns black under his skin like he's getting blood poisoning and his skin turns black
under his skin it spreads through his whole body until he dies it basically
overcomes him it's pretty gross he's like looks like his skin is burning from
the inside it looks bad awful yeah so he dies So now we are just the family of four
and they sit
together on the beach.
It's fully night time.
It's fully night time and Guy
and Prisca are clearly
aging a lot.
They're old now.
And
one is deaf. One is
basically blind,
and they're just kind of holding each other
and with their kids next to them.
And at some point he says,
I saw your text messages and I should have said something.
I'm such a coward.
I thought if I ignored it, it would go away.
And I'm sorry that you I thought if I ignored it it would go away and I'm sorry that
you felt that that was your only escape or something like that like I should
have been better to you and she says she's sorry too and then they're silent
for a moment and then he looks at her like he can't remember what they were
just talking about.
And he says, were we just fighting about something?
Were we just having an argument?
She says, yeah, we were.
But I'm not mad.
And he's like, I'm not mad either.
And then they both just die in each other's arms.
Oh, wow.
Right next to their children.
Oh, wow. Right next to their children.
And then the sun comes up the next morning and Maddox and Trent are new actors now.
They are look to be in their 40s or 50s.
And there's some line in here where Trent says feels like just yesterday we were kids which was very silly and necessary but it's like aware that it's silly at least like i feel like
he's trying to make a joke but um so they look weary worse worse for wear like they've kind of given up a bit they're not they don't
look scared anymore they're just kind of resolved to i guess we're gonna die here pretty soon too
we've tried all the exits basically we've run out of options here so they're kind of walking
around the beach arm and arm like i said it would be you and me to the end and like like i've always got
your back and like we'll we'll be we'll go through this together and uh they find a notebook on the
beach and open it and it has basically a bunch of names and ages and addresses of people who we assume were the last group of people on
this beach that this happened to and so and whoever was here with this notebook last was
writing down kind of their theory of what was happening and they said say it's something to
do with the magnetism of the rocks obviously there's going to be no real science behind this.
So I'm not even really going to try to explain it.
But something to do with magnets and rocks.
And they decide if we had some sort of metal tube that we could go out of,
it might block the magnetism for whatever it's doing as people have been trying to escape.
And they're like, where the fuck are we going to like?
There's no metal tube around here.
And they're like, yeah, like it's it's hopeless.
Like it's not going to happen.
And so they sit back down and Trent says, you want to build a sandcastle?
And she's like, yeah.
you want to build a sandcastle?
And she's like, yeah.
And so they start building a little sandcastle and they're just kind of
enjoying their time together,
reflecting on their lives, saying like
he's talking
about Idlib being like
Idlib and I, we were supposed to have ice cream
today and
and
says
he's like, it's so funny we would write those we wrote those notes to each other in
in code like we thought we were spies um and he's like actually you wrote me another note
i forgot to ever decode it and she's like do it now oh god and he's like okay here we go
here we go here it is so he pulls it out dec, and it says, my uncle doesn't like the coral.
And they're both staring at it.
And then they look out to the water and there's basically a coral reef out a ways into the water.
And they're like, OK, well, that maybe there's some sort of answer there they start swimming
out to it and see that there's it's basically like an underwater tunnel through this coral reef
so they start swimming through it and then maddox's shirt gets caught on Coral. And they can't free it.
They can't free it.
And the Coral's very stressful, too, because you just always think of, like, bumping into Coral.
It's like, it just looks so painful.
Yeah, so sharp.
And this is just, like, wall to wall.
They're just surrounded by Coral.
And her shirt gets caught.
They can't get out.
And then we see M. Night Shy shamalon watching them from atop the cliff
with binoculars he's got a little laptop set up he's uh watches for a bit watches watches watches
and then calls someone on his cell phone says they're they're dead they died they drowned some experiment 73 all this is all subjects dead
and then goes back to the resort which is i guess in the back area just entirely a lab
everybody from the resort in lab coats doing little tests got we got beakers we got a bunch of shit happening okay and we see
the resort manager saying moment of silence for test subject group 73 everyone bows their head
in silence he says thank you um we had a really great success with this uh test subject so and so patricia what's her name uh had no seizure
for eight and a half hours which translates to i don't know however many years in 16 or 18 17 years. And he's like, so he's like, so the medication that we gave her was a success and cured her seizures for the amount of time for the half life of the medication or whatever it is.
And we learned that they're running medical experiments.
Basically, they can test medic medicine for a lifetime on people in a day
so they can find out the efficacy of drugs much more quickly than they would if they were running
regular drug trials and so they're like this is a huge success we've basically cured epilepsy
and there's some talk of like, I think we should have the neurological patients separate from physical
patients in the future.
Like mixing those is a little bad.
Killed a few that maybe shouldn't,
we would have seen the results.
Do it on rats.
Why are we doing this on humans?
Maybe we should think about that.
And I mean,
of course,
anytime there's a big reveal
it's just like it's not going to be good. Like there's
no way to I feel like have had this ending
be good other than just keeping
it vague, keeping it ambiguous.
That's the way to do it.
Don't answer my questions
because they're going to be stupid answers. But
anyway, so yeah, we find out that it's just a big
like medical
experiment and okay, then we see Anyway, so yeah, we find out that it's just a big, like, medical experiment.
And then we see the hotel manager goes back to the main area of the resort. We see Idlib looking really sad.
And he says to him, like, next time, just you can play with the kids that I tell you to play with.
Like, I told you not to play with that boy.
Like, go play with those kids over there.
Those kids are fine so there's enough of a front at this
resort that there are guests that don't come here and die um and we see on the beach the people that
they had been speaking to uh that idlib and trent had gone up to and asked ask their names and occupations and we see
someone come up to one of the men and say hey you're a cop right and hand the notebook that
we saw them find on the beach and so we see that um maddox and trent did in fact survive. It cuts back to them freeing themselves from the coral tunnel and coming out the other side.
And that was the way that they escaped.
And I guess M. Night Shyamalan just didn't watch for long enough.
And they did in fact come out.
It's just very funny to not be like, I'm going to spot for you know 15 minutes instead of three
um so they did they came out and they hand the turn in this uh journal with all these names to
the cop and we see police arriving and we see the cop it's kind of a montage type thing we see the cup on the phone confirming that these are in fact all missing
persons and calling in police and we see maddox and trent confront the hotel manager and all of
them look like the jig is up and everyone's all the employees are looking very stressed, like, oh, fuck. And he sees Idlib, Trent and Idlib reunite.
And Idlib kind of takes a moment and then recognizes him.
His six-year-old friend is now in his 50s.
Oh, wow.
And they get taken out on a, like lifted out in like a helicopter like they're leaving the resort
it's the cop and maddox and trent and uh they're taking them to their aunt's house and they he says
like how's your aunt taking this and trent says how would you take it if your six and 11 year old niece and
nephew were 50 in their fifties in a day? And that's like the last line of the movie. And it
ends with them like, hmm, yeah, that'd be pretty weird. And they're all just kind of like nod at
each other. Like, yeah, that's weird. And that's the end oh my god oh my god
honestly great all of it
perfectly tracks with what I
feel like it was exactly what I wanted
it's pretty fun it's like
silly it's scary
there's some parts that are genuinely
touch on very real
fears and real
things that are dark and sad in life.
And it's funny and fucking weird.
And there's no other movie like it.
I had a great time.
It's a great concept.
I'm like actually surprised it hadn't been done.
I mean,
it would be harder to do before like CGI is better,
you know,
where it is now.
But yeah,
whatever. Great. Perfect. Love it. before like cgi was better you know where it is now but um yeah whatever great perfect love it didn't need to be anything more than what it was you go in with those
m night shamalon expectations and you're gonna have a great time
wait is it shamalon is it is it shamalon i don't know i don't know i i've i've been saying shamalon
shamalon shamalon you say shamalon i say i can only say shamalon apparently
i always heard shamalon but i don't know i think i think that's probably right wait what'd you say
before sammy oh bullock. Sandra Bullock.
I feel like now I
know it for sure because
of inside Bo Burnham, there's
a song that references Sandra Bullock.
Sandra Bullock
in the blind side.
Sandra Bullock.
Bullock. Sandra Bullock.
Sandra Bullock.
Wow.
Thank you for doing this for us, Sammy.
I desperately needed to know what happened.
And this is the perfect way to consume that sweet, sweet content.
Yeah.
I'd say M. Night Shyamalan movies are perfect for this type of thing.
Because you just want to know what happens.
You just want to know what happens.
Tell me what the deal is.
Tell me what the dealio is.
And Henley, you made it.
I made it.
Woohoo.
Now I'm going to go feed my baby.
Yay.
That's what I'm going to do.
It's an important thing to do.
Yeah, babies need feeding.
Babies need to be fed.
I'm going to go feed my baby, by which I mean I'm going to eat lunch for myself.
Me too.
Perfect.
I love you guys so much.
