This is a HeadGum Podcast. This is Emily, Henley, and Sammy, and you're listening to Too Scary, 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 love watching scary movies and so I watch them so that you don't have to. And I am so curious if today's movie will be your guys' most hated film awesome i think it stands a chance i think it really stands a chance when i came out i feel like i kept hearing or reading like

a random tweet or hearing something an aside on a podcast of people referencing this film as being like out out like crazy and i have no idea what that means i haven't done any googling i haven't i don't know literally nothing except i feel like you're particularly going to hate it as the feeling i get i think you're gonna hate it a lot as well but well good before we get into the into all of that did anything scary happen to us this week? I want to talk about, I texted you guys this, but I feel like I just need to flesh it out a little bit more. Which is that I took a little mental health day from work because I really needed it. And I was feeling like I really needed some time alone to myself to like be in New York too.

I feel like I live in New York City and I barely even experience it. You know, I'm like not really doing a lot. So I was like, I'm going to do something nice for myself and really relax and really just like have a day where I'm feeling good. So I didn't do any pre-research before this, but I thought I'm going to go to the Whitney. I haven't been there in a while. Um, I'll go to that museum. So I go to the Whitney having done no Googling whatsoever. And the first exhibit I walk into you guys is so, I don't even know what is the right word to. OK, I sent you guys pictures.

Unsettling. Seemed bleak. My jaw was on the ground. I was immediately so emotionally drained by this exhibit. That was the first feeling that I felt where I was like, oh, my God, what the fuck? So it's so it's by an artist named Josh Klein project for a new American century. It's a survey of his work. I looked him up later. So he's this young artist who's known for his like apocalyptic exhibits.

He's an artist for the end of the world, quote unquote, is what he's called. He thinks like the apocalypse is kind of funny. He's like very nihilistic. And so that's so the first the first room I walk into. Also, they're like really pushy about the exhibit where they're really telling you like like the people who are the what's that? Docents. A docent. Yes. The docents are kind of standing around and they're very particular about where you go.

Like they want you to be in this room, then this room, then this room. Like I tried to walk out and the docent was like, no, no, no, like it's that way. Like the exhibit is that way. You're going the wrong way. Oh no.

Okay, so I gotta go deeper into the bowels of this exhibit. So the first room is a completely telling somebody they're doing it wrong is also really funny you're doing the art wrong actually go this way you're looking at the art wrong um the first room is this grayed out room it looks like a bomb has gone off and like cement colored dust has settled over everything and it's just a vacant empty room except for kind of everyday furniture that you would see in a normal house there's like a play like a plastic playhouse that you would see outside kind of half of it you know kind of disconnected half of it in rubble

um just like fluorescent lights no her least favorite thing and kind of this like kind of this like thrumming in the background this music that also goes through the whole thing which is like music my least favorite thing like so eerie terrifying depressing so that's the first room i walk into right i'm on my mental health day this is the first room i walk into just rejuvenating and really gonna go see some beautiful art getting you back to your jolly old self so i need to just tell you there are a lot of there are a lot of pieces to this but i'm just gonna tell you about two more um the second one was an exhibit called contagious unemployment and it's oh my god it's six um kind of glass bulbs that look like viruses and within those glass bulbs there's a um banker's

box filled with the contents you would see on an everyday worker's desk so like family photos, high heeled shoes, notebooks, a water bottle, an iPhone, whatever. And it's supposed to represent the fact that like AI is coming for every all white collar workers jobs and everyone's been fired, which is literally like white color workers, people in suits in the fetal position and clear body bags shoved into various corners of the room. Like this is literally the exhibit I looked at for this is what I chose to do on my mental health day. Oh my God. It was. Yeah. Art doesn't have to be nice, huh? No, no. But honestly, this is what I texted you and it's so true. I was very upset by it at first, but then because it was so upsetting, I came all the way around and I was really having a great time by the end. Like it's, it was a very entertaining exhibit. I mean, I was, I had a lot of feelings. I had a lot of feelings.

You know, if I just gone in with a little more pre-knowledge, if I'd gone in a different headspace, I feel like I would have enjoyed it more from the beginning, but I ended up having a great time. Yeah. I turned myself around. But anyway, if anyone's in New York and they want to go see, they're in the mood for the apocalypse. Definitely go to the Whitney and check this out. It's insane. I wish I could check it out. Yeah. That's, that is a surprising way to have spent that day.

What did I do afterwards? Oh, my phone was also dying My phone was on like 5% I didn't plan this at all So I spent a lot of time in the Apple store Charging my phone That was the other thing I did on my mental health day Yeah, that doesn't sound relaxing Hey, you know what?

You tried You made the effort You said, I'm showing up for me today And sometimes I think that's the most important part. I agree. Completely agree. Okay. You guys tell me about your weeks. How are you doing? I'm good. I'm good. I am. I just, before we got on, I was running a few minutes late cause I lost track of time because my parents are coming to town this week and um so I'm doing a lot of like looking at my surroundings uh for looking for what needs to

be perfected before my parents come into my space with because I haven't seen it yet and I just like you know I get very it's just like a thing for me to focus on it's like how can I how can I make it the best possible version of my life to be presented to my parents and um one of those things is i would realize like oh we need we need like more curb appeal so to speak we live in a back house so it's also like we don't own it we don't have a lot of control over like things like that but like we can put plants like on the steps and i've just been like doing a lot of tinkering and like i discovered today that there are like a decent amount of little like potted probably honestly like completely

they look alive these are their succulents but they but i think probably they're like fossilized like they're like completely like basically rocks now that just are like take the shape of cacti. And but I was like, oh, my gosh, I found them like behind our place in these like old pots. And I was like, oh, I'll repot them. I'll like put them on the front steps to be great. And I'm just like grabbing in these pots full of God knows what of cacti. And like I saw a spider crawl out and I'm just like grabbing.

And I was doing that for a little while and I was like, my finger hurts. And I looked down, I have like a bunch of little cacti little spikes in my finger. And I'm just like, I need. You need some gloves. I have like. I need gloves. I have so much drive and so little breaks and so little know-how when it comes to stuff like that. That I'm like, well, I'm just going to grab a bunch of cacti and I'm just going to like throw them around and put them in pots.

I'm like, okay. And it's just like, that That I'm like Well I'm just gonna grab A bunch of cacti And I'm just gonna like Throw them around And put them in pots And like okay And it's just like That is not How we do this So I mean I think I'm fine And at first I was like Well I think I got bit By that spider

But I don't think I did I think it was just Little cacti feather things You know how that's like The little Yeah The guys that look soft But they're very much not

They got me It'll be fine and you know it looks okay outside but that's just where my head's at your parents will appreciate it they're gonna see those cacti and they're gonna go and it's like they're you know they don't need it to be perfect this is me doing this i don't want anybody to get the impression that like if i don't have plants outside my parents are gonna be to be really upset. It's just like, you know how you just get in that space where once you start looking for things, you're like, well, I could change my whole life in the next 24 hours. And then, then, then that'll really show them, you know, um, that'll really show them anyway. So

that's sort of where I'm at right now. And it's kind of a weird, kind of a weird headspace that I'm working with. Yeah. I'm familiar with the headspace of not being able to, um, slow down type of thing. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Yep. Yep. Yep. That reminds me, that just put me into a headspace of being in middle school when I would have someone come over who I like wanted to be friends with, but didn't know be friends with and I wanted to impress them. And I remember, I remember so vividly like being in my bathroom and being like, Hmm, like what shampoo needs to be showcased? What shampoo needs to be called? What needs to, what can not be seen in this bathroom? What needs to be front and center? You know,

what Bath and Body Works products are we putting, are we putting really in prime real estate on the countertop so everyone can see the bath and body works yeah it's like if i just rearrange this the few things that i have in the right exact way that'll really make an impression i can do it i can absolutely like i remember doing that too like rearranging your fucking CDs to be like, these are actually the ones that I listen to. Like if they were to come look through, they would see like these are the CDs that I like. Yes. Yes. I remember thinking that exactly when you had CDs in your car, even. Yeah, I was about to say the car CD case was basically an art piece. Yeah. You're like real car CDs you're hiding, you know.

Because of course, people are going to come in your car CDs you're hiding, you know, because of course people are going to come in your car, they're going to flip through them. And it's like, it can't, it has to be a curated selection. It can't actually, it's not for you. No one needs to listen to the Moulin Rouge soundtrack over and over. Oh my God. I listened to that the other day. I like really wanted to hear that version of Roxanne. I put it on. It really took me back. Honestly, it's so good. Roxanne! Roxanne!

Just don't have to hear it. Tell your body, don't have to hear it. I had to hear it. Oh my god, keep going. Don't stop. Don't stop. It has absolutely burned into my brain.

Me too. Well, speaking of not being able to slow down, I am It is absolutely burned into my brain. Oh, God. Me too. Me too. Well, speaking of not being able to slow down, I am turning 34 this week, just racing towards death. One step closer every day. No, I generally don't mind aging, but I am sad to leave 33. 33 is a... It's a fun age. It's a fun age.

Fun number. Turty tree. Fun number. Turty tree. Fun to say in an Irish accent. And that's what's most important to me. Turty four is also pretty fun. That's true.

All the 30s are good because of that. Because of that turty. Yep. Turty. are good because of that because of that turkey yep turkey um but for my birthday we went to a farm a like rescue farm called the gentle barn and overall it was delightful and not scary it was such a special experience but we did pet and hang out with some cows that I really was not anticipating how big they were going to be. Sammy was on and we started with the cows and I was like, oh, Sammy regrets this decision. I'm scared of the cows.

Yeah. Sammy did not want to come near the cows. They were really, really big. They were really big. We all commented on how shockingly large these cows were and it's because they're genetically modified cows which is and it's really sad awful it's so horrifying it's really they are like we they had one there that was the size that a cow is supposed to be which was a lot smaller than the other cows they're supposed to be around 700 pounds, I believe, was what the normal sized cow was. The rest of the cows were over 3000 pounds. Oh my God. It was really shocking.

That's huge. As I was petting one named Roy, anytime he would move even slightly, I would panic and like jump back because I was afraid he was going to fall on top of me. Is that what the main fear was? Yeah. Yeah. It was like being too close. Bad. It's like being next to a high rise building and looking up and getting like vertigo.

They were certainly taller than us. High rise buildings? Yes. Yeah. And oh my God, just if it stepped on your foot. Yeah, like their backs were taller than we were Standing do you know what I mean like That is so crazy

They were bigger than horses they were really big They were really way bigger than horses Really big I was just really not expecting it And I was genuinely scared of them There's something that's really funny Because that was the first thing we did And I really I had forgotten By the end that yeah you were unnerved you were unnerved at the beginning

now i'm just imagining like the biggest cows and you guys being so tiny next to them and trying to pet them and have a good time and it's really funny to me have you seen those like graphics of like this is what you'd look like a human standing next to a dinosaur. It's like that. You can just get there like at the Natural History Museum. They were big. They were absolutely big. They were really big and and scary. I mean, they were they were so sweet.

They were totally sweet cows, but it was just they were too big for me to be comfortable near them. And it just surprised me how scared I was of the cats. That's really funny. Can you tell me all the other animals that were there? And what was your favorite animal? Yes. There were pigs. There were llamas.

There was an emu that was also a little scary, to be honest. The emu was scary. The emu, like every time it looked at me, I saw the raptors from Jurassic Park. I was like, that's literally all I can see. Also just chaotic like birds are scary birds are scary there's also there's also a rooster named romeo and he was scary but i i kind of liked rooster turkey sorry turkey a turkey named romeo um and he was in the pet the like area where the pigs were that we were in there with petting a lot of the pigs are incredible pigs were my my favorite, shout out to gingerbread Gingerbread was great

For me, shout out to Pearl There was always The threat of Romeo coming up Behind you, because he had said, our guide was like And you know, just give Romeo his space If he starts coming up to you, just go away Go the other way, and so I'd be like petting a pig Like oh my god, oh my god, it's Romeo, I have to get up

And leave And, honestly enhanced the experience. Having that little bit of a threat that you couldn't get too comfortable because you might turn around and Romeo be right behind you. Um, there were goats. The goats are really sweet. They were sheep. There was one peacock, horses, horses, donkeys. There was a mini horse who was ended up being my favorite. I would have, if I going in, I would have said, absolutely. My favorite animal is going to end up being a goat. And I loved the goats. Second favorite though, were the pigs. And then this mini horse named Marvel little all white mini horse. I absolutely fell in love with. How big is a mini horse? It's like one eighth of a cow.

We are like the dinosaur to them. Romeo's back probably like hit my waist. Like little. I mean, not Romeo, sorry. Marvel, the little mini horse. Okay. Okay. Got it.

Got it. Got it. It was really sweet. I pet him for a really long time. What a good idea, Sammy. Genius idea. Yeah, it was perfect. Gentle Barn is also a great follow on Instagram.

Yep. So shout out Gentle Barn because they're really great. I had a great time. Even if the cows were scary, it was wonderful. It was wonderful. Unlike what we're about to embark on this journey. I'm ready. No journey i'm ready no i'm ready because today we are talking about speak no evil came out just last year in 2022 written and directed by christian

taftrup written by christian taftrup and mads taftrup they are brothers go figure starring Go figure. Starring Morten Burien, Systel C.M. Koch, Fredia van Guit, Karina Smulders, Leva Forsberg, and Marius Damslev. I'm sure I said them all correct. This is an American film, yes. It is a Danish film and it is streaming on Shudder. Okay, so Henley, you have heard a lot about this movie, which surprises me. Do you mean just from me? No, no, no. I think I listened to the Big Picture podcast with Sean Fennessey. Oh, I love Sean Fennessey. Okay, Henley, you used to listen to Ringer stuff and I never did and I didn't know who you're talking about. And now I do and I love Sean Fennessey. He's my favorite. Yeah, Sean Fennessey is great. And he's obsessed with movies. I mean, Sammy, you and Sean Fennessey would have so, so much to talk to.

Let's get him on the pod. No, he would never go on a competing Ringer podcast. He's like ahead of a podcast empire. Okay. Rude. I know. I just like genuinely think that they probably never would. I've thought about that before because I listen to so many Ringer podcasts, but I doubt they

ever go on anything that's not a ringer podcast. Anyway, we could get them. We could get them. We could get them. We'll see about that, Sean. Do you ever listen to the big picture? We'll break them. Do you listen to that one? Yes, I have listened to that one. I didn't actually know that that was a ringer podcast. See, Sean, people don't even know. You can go on any podcast i'm not saying sean i'm not saying i'm i support this decision not to come on our podcast i'm not saying that um so uh he referenced it a bunch i think when it came out and um yeah uh not in any kind of like spoiler way at all like i truly know literally nothing about this movie.

You just know of its existence. I just know of its existence. So just that. And I think, yeah, I think I saw like a headline somewhere on like New York Magazine, like speak no evil is the blah, blah, blah. I don't know. But again, even though I've heard of it, no, absolutely nothing. Great. Well, I will tell you guys that it has an 85% on Rotten Tomatoes, 78% on Metacritic, a 6.6 on IMDb. The budget was $3.1 million. It made $631,249.

That's so precise. Seriously exact. Not quite $3 million. No. Well, I'm wondering how it works with foreign film. Like, I feel like they must have sold to Shudder and like maybe recouped costs in that way. So I don't know. I feel like a small foreign horror film is I feel like they can't be like aiming for big box office numbers, you know, so there must be a different... Metric. Weight of... Different, yeah, barometer for those.

Yeah, different metric. But, you know, I did no further research. Sure. And as far as trivia, there's not too much, but I thought this was interesting that basically no one wanted to be the antagonists in this movie. Oh, God.

Great. And only 12 people auditioned for the roles of two people. So like six for each role. Isn't that crazy? That's so funny. Twelve. Oh, my God. Okay, folks.

Well, here you go. If you want to break it into a movie Just audition for the Most despicable fucking part Yep Your chances are Greatly increased if you're auditioning For

Can't wait to find out why that is Really great You'll know You'll know soon enough And then this is kind of annoying But I'm also a little bit You'll know. You'll know soon enough. And then this is kind of annoying, but I'm also a little bit intrigued. They're doing an American remake, which they love to do. So quickly.

So quickly. And they did the American remake of Goodnight Mommy recently, which was also like felt very unnecessary. And I think didn't do very well, right? Didn't do great. I'd never really heard anything about it other than Naomi Watts being in it. So I don't know. I feel like they don't need to do that. People can watch this one that literally came out last year. I don't know. We'll see. But what's got me interested is this cast, because it's going to be James McAvoy, Mackenzie Davis and Scoot McNary. And directed by James Watkins, who directed Eden Lake, which we haven't done, but I've always been curious about that movie as well. So so who's playing the parts that nobody auditioned for? I don't know. The names haven't been released, but it's also so specific to being danish like danish culture

and i feel like there's like regional specifics that i'm curious to see how they will adapt to be um american or if they don't yeah i feel like they won't they probably think that's probably true it's depressing so i don't know i'll keep i'm keeping an eye on that. I'll see it. I did not see the Good Night Mommy remake, but I'm more curious about this. As you guys know, I love Scoot McNary. She loves him. Do it for Scoot. And I'm like torn because Henley,

you know, you said you know nothing about this movie. Do we watch the trailer now or do we watch it at the end? Let's watch it at the end. I love an end watch. Okay. We're going to save it for the end, which it i love an end watch okay um we're gonna save it for the end which means it's not going to be in this episode so if you want to see our trailer reaction you can go to our patreon patreon.com slash tstw podcast but i think we should just get into this movie that's i mean i think that's for the best because the longer we wait the more i'm gonna

fucking not want to do it so i'm curious i'm ready i'm ready i'm buckled in i have my metaphorical popcorn that i'm munching on perfect i'm cozy in bed and just ready, ready to for my brain to be ruined by this movie. I can't remember if I said this or already or not, but the thing I think that's closest to it that we've done is funny games. So just get in kind of that that sort of headspace. You know what? It's like I just feel strong right now. I just feel strong. Wow. She's been to the Whitney. She's had a week.

She can handle anything. I just don't feel I just don't feel like I'm going to be as phased as I was by funny games. I feel like I'm ready for it. I'm ready for it. All right. In the past few years, I have hit a point where I only want to be wearing clothes that are comfortable. It happened. It happened to me. But you know what? I still also want to look cute. And these are two desires that are comfortable. It happened. It happened to me. But you know what? I still also want to look cute. And these are two desires that are often extremely opposing. And I don't want to have to sacrifice. I want both. I want comfort and I want to feel cute and confident. And guess what? Skims has freaking done it again with their soft lounge collection. I am currently very, very obsessed with. I have the soft lounge tank and boxer set.

Okay. This tank, it's a great little rib tank. Classic. You can wear it every day. You can pair it with jeans. You can wear it out in the world, or you can wear it with this little boxer short that is so comfortable. It is super, super soft, lightweight rib. They're great. I also truly have been for years stealing Joel's boxer briefs to wear as sleepwear and loungewear. And guess what? That ain't cutting it. I'm not feeling too cute in those. I'm not feeling too comfortable. But desperate times. However, desperate times know more because Skims has done it. You too can get on board with this. You can see just how cute and comfortable you can be.

go. Let's do it. Wowie, wowie, wowie. Okay. Well, actually also, I want to say, I feel like it's important to remember that Danish people are the ones that leave their babies outside. Yes, I do know that. So, but like, because it's safe. Yes. That's a good point. So I, I don't, well, exactly. Because they're like trusting and I feel like raised to be like a pretty polite and trusting society. And I think that's important to remember when we see

these characters actions in this movie. Got it. It's going to feel very frustrating. The first time I watched this movie, I was fucking furious. And the second time was a much better viewing because I knew it was going to happen and I could enjoy it more. But I had to take like four months in between. Like I was so mad after this movie.

Part of me thought you were going to say I had to take like four Klonopin. Yeah. I mean, that would have certainly helped. I wouldn't have turned him down if I had him. I was pacing around my house like so angry afterwards. I had a very big reaction to this movie. And a lot of people also do. You just type it into Reddit and people, you will see some rants.

Okay. Okay. So let's do it. Oh, yeah. Awesome. So we start with a couple on vacation in Italy. They are a Danish couple. This is Bjorn and Luisa.

And they're sitting by a pool. Actually, I'll say first, there's like a shot of a car driving down a dirt road at nighttime with intense music playing. So we're just starting with a more foreboding scene. That's like letting us know that bad things are to come. But then we're in a beautiful, sunny Italian like villa or it's like a, like a resort where other people are as well. It's really beautiful. And they're sitting by the pool.

And another guy comes up to Bjorn and asks if the pool chair next to him is free. And he's got all of his stuff on it. And there are other available pool chairs. And he kind of looks around and is like yeah yeah yeah of course takes all his stuff off of it and hands it to the guy and i feel like this is just her very first testing of a boundary uh and this will progress much further uh so we see a dinner she was strong she was feeling strong i already feel my barriers coming down i already feel my yeah it's gonna get bad i can tell i can tell so at dinner at that night it's basically all of the guests at this hotel or, or wherever they are

having dinner together. They're from all over mostly Europe. So, um, they're speaking different languages with each other, but all speaking English when they're trying to speak to everyone. So the guy that had asked to borrow the chair, um, his name is Patrick and his wife, he's there with his wife, Karen, and both of the couples have children, young children. Is it just two couples? Well, there's other people there as well, but these are who we are going to be focusing on, but no, there's probably like 30 people there or so, but they, he gives a little toast to, to Italy and to all of, to getting to spend time with all of you and to the food. And, um, it's nice. And they, so they, they have their nice dinner and that night Bjorn is standing on his balcony of his room looking out and we see patrick looking up at him from through a

like gate below in a creepy way bjorn sees it and continues scanning his eyes as if he's pretending that he hasn't seen it to hope that it goes he goes away if he thinks he hasn't been caught staring at him. And he does. And so then he looks back and Patrick is gone. But we don't like that. No, we don't like that. So the next day, Bjorn and Louisa, they are with their daughter, Agnes, who is probably 10, maybe 8. God, here we go. We'll say 8 just because all kids are eight.

Because they are. Yeah. Agnes starts crying because she's lost her stuffed animal bunny. And Bjorn goes to find it. And he's going into the shops they've just been in and asking where if they've seen a bunny. And he does find it and brings it back. if they've seen a bunny and he does find it and brings it back. And as he is bringing it back, he sees Louisa and Agnes are now talking to Patrick, Karen and their son, Abel. Louisa's introducing them all when Bjorn walks back up. She's like, oh, Bjorn, these are the

other guests. Or like, I remember they gave the toast last night and they're all shaking hands. And it seems immediately like Bjorn likes Patrick or like wants to impress him. Maybe doesn't. I don't know that he just. Oh, because Louisa has told Patrick that Bjorn went to find the bunny and Patrick kind of compliments him on that. And it's like, that's that's really nice of you and Bjorn at first is like oh stop yeah it's no it's no big deal and he says no like that's really heroic of you respect and there's some like word choices that I think feel a little weird because they're both they're all speaking English and not their native languages but he's he he's just praising bjorn for going above and beyond as a father and finding that bunny and bjorn is really flattered by this moment and you see him appreciate that praise and

kind of it like seems like he has like a friend crush on this guy and wants to be friends with him now. Yeah. And we meet Abel, their son, and they say something to him. And they say, oh, Abel has some trouble speaking with new people. He gets nervous. And Louie says, oh, no worries at all. But their kids are around the same age. And so now for the rest of the trip i think they only

have one night left but they are all kind of hanging out now they've found their like vacation friends they get lunch together and patrick notices that luisa is a vegetarian she's not eating any meat and he compliments her on that as well like Like, oh, that's so, so good for the environment. Ugh, Patrick, someone kill him right now. Get it out of the way. And they have their like one last night there and they're having fun. And so they had a good time and they go back to Denmark.

They're back at home and now they're speaking in Danish. Some amount of time has passed. It's like a little bit of a jump forward. They're getting, having dinner with their friends now and they get a postcard from Patrick and Karen. That's a photo that they had all taken together on vacation and basically says, we had such a nice time meeting you guys and wanted to extend the offer. If you want to come to the Netherlands, they're Dutch. And if you want to come visit us, the offer is open for you to come stay a long weekend. We have a guest room.

It'd be lovely to see you again. And they're kind of saying this a little weird. We like don't really know them. We basically spent, you know, a day with them. I don't know if we want to go to their place for a weekend, but they're talking to their friends about it. And they're saying like, oh, we don't want to fly like this kind of a whole thing. and the friends say oh you can actually drive it's just it's about an eight hour drive and they're like oh okay maybe a weekend in the dutch countryside doesn't sound so bad and they say it would be impolite to decline aha okay there there it begins because my god if i'm like i don't really want to do it well i guess it is just an eight hour drive like absolutely not yeah exactly and it's like it'd be rude rude to these strangers

that you'll never see again ever that live in a different country yeah yeah fine no i think but also this is getting at my like I always want to meet people on vacation. I always want to meet people who live in different places than I live so I can go visit them. You won't after this? Let's see how you're feeling a little bit. I want that in my life. This is ruining it. It's ruining it already?

This is going to ruin that for you. And they, of course, say, what's the worst that could happen? Oh, my God. We're about to find out. Fuck. And they of course say What's the worst that could happen Oh my god We're about to find out Yeah I think we'll know The music is very It's like these low strings

It's creepy as hell We know something bad is about to happen As they're traveling It shows them taking the ferry and then getting in their car. And they're driving to like the absolute middle of nowhere. So there's not very many houses around. They arrive at Patrick and Karen's home. And it's yeah, there's nothing else around.

It's in the middle of the woods. yeah, there's nothing else around. It's in the middle of the woods. But they are welcoming them with open arms. Oh my God, we're so excited that you decided to take us up on the offer. It's so great to have you here. So nice to see you again. And they're showing them around the house and they show them the spare room and it's really small uh they're in like a full-size bed which we were talking recently about how after you're in it it can't be done after you're in a king bed well i have a queen bed but a king bed incredible queen bed smaller than king bed pretty good full-size bed too small full-size bed really small for a couple i feel like that's size bed really small for a couple i feel like that's too small yes agree it's smaller than king that's for sure and their daughter's with them too right and their daughter is with them as well

and so they take them now into abel's room and they've made a tiny little bed for agnes on the floor it's basically like blankets on the floor and they've made it like sweetly like tucked it into the corner it's like almost like pillows that they've made a little bed around type thing but it's not ideal and you can see in their faces that they're like oh this is not going to be comfortable and agnes is like do i have to sleep here but they can speak in in danish to each other and so they can basically have those kind of conversations um without yeah like everybody else's nightmare yeah and so um uh louisa says to agnes like in in danish like we'll we'll figure it out we're gonna figure it out but they're smiling and saying thank you so

much like this is so nice oh i hate this god i hate this and then we go get into the kitchen and uh karen tells them that patrick has been cooking all day he's so excited and he hands luisa a fork and says taste this it's been marinating all day. It's like wild boar or something. And she kind of laughs and is like, oh, no, no, no, no, thank you. And he's like, please, I insist. I insist. And Bjorn kind of elbows her and is like, just take a small bite. Like, just do it. No. And so she takes a bite of the meat Even though we know she is a vegetarian And so do they And so do they

That's right They have their Dinner that night We see afterwards Bjorn is taking like a Beer bottle out to the recycling Looking for the recycling bin outside And Abel comes up to him,

like sneaks up behind him. It's kind of creepy. And he's just standing there. Abel's like, doesn't speak much. And he just kind of appears behind him and I think kind of scares Bjorn. And he looks around and is like, Abel, are you, are you okay? Like what's going on? And Abel just opens his mouth really wide. And you see that he has no tongue. What? Yeah. Oh, my fucking God.

They go back inside. And we see that Patrick has seen this interaction. And so they go back and go back into dinner and Abel's now they've like put the kids to bed and we just hear Abel crying in his room. And Patrick explains like, sorry, he, he does this. He has a hard time because of his condition. He has congenital anglossia which basically means he was born without a tongue and it bothers him when he's trying to fall asleep sometimes and gives like

what seems like a pretty rational explanation for this but they're always like oh my god that's awful and they're like he's like yeah i mean he has trouble speaking but they say that they can understand him so i guess he can still speak a little bit and or that he can still speak but just i don't know they say that they can understand him fine but he's just really quiet most of the time oh my fucking god i'm immediately so upset me too me too get in the car drive away get in the car drive away you're gonna get so mad oh i'm so oh my god fuck well i'm just betting this is not actually the the reason no of course not right but is that a thing because if so i'm also really upset by that yes it is a thing that's really awful as they go to bed that night they have agnes sleep in the bed with them because it's not comfortable being in the other room. But it's also not comfortable, the three of them, in a freaking full bed.

But they're making the best of what they've got. The next day, all of them go out to their exploring the Dutch countryside. It's very beautiful, like wide open plains again nobody really around and there's a scene where abel is sitting on the end edge of a slide that agnes is wanting to slide down and she calls over her mom and is like, oh, can you tell Abel to move? And she asks him to move and he's not moving. He's just sitting there like really silently. And it's like kind of awkward. She walks over to Patrick and Karen and says, you know, Agnes is wanting to slide. Do you think you could ask abel to move and he like walks over and like

yells at abel and like grabs him and like pulls him up and is like let little agnes slide and she's like no no it's like it's fine it's not a big deal like you don't have to and and he's like yeah i'm sorry about that he can like be he can be annoying sometimes i can't remember what he says exactly but the basically the tone of it is like he's just a little too aggressive with his son and luisa is obviously noticing this and very feeling very uncomfortable by this and she has been you know made to eat meat when she doesn't eat meat and so when they're back in the, in their room later at the, back at the house, she tells Bjorn, I don't like being here. And like, I think I want to leave. And Bjorn, listen to her. Bjorn is like, it's only another day and a half. Like, I'm sure

you'll survive. At that moment, Karen, Karen comes in and is like, oh, we've made another dinner for you. And we've opened a bottle of wine. And he's like, yeah, it's really horrible here. You're right. This is awful. Our hosts are trying to. Oh, awesome. Really cool response.

Love that. Yeah. I feel like he's still trying to impress Patrick. So weird. And has this like bromance thing happening. And so he basically tells her, suck it up. It's another day and a half. You'll be fine. And they invite them. Oh, they invite them out to dinner that night. Karen says to them, we wanted to take you out to get some traditional Dutch food at a restaurant we like. And they're like, okay. So we're getting ready to go. And as we're walking

over to get our coats, Agnes is putting her coat on and there's a knock at the door and a man arrives. They open the door and karen and patrick are like oh hello like thank you so much for coming and louisa's asks who is who's this what's going on and he's like oh it's the babysitter oh my god catch them off guard. Louisa. Crazy. Didn't realize the kids weren't coming. And again, clear that she's uncomfortable with this. But Karen's like, he's great with great with kids. And he is like immediately playing with Agnes. And Agnes is laughing as he's doing like a magic trick for her.

And so she's like, okay. for her and so she's like okay and so they leave leave the kids back with the babysitter oh my god no they're heading to this restaurant and turns out this restaurant is actually very far away and so they're driving and driving and driving. Louise is like, is it, are we there yet? Like, this is really far. Eventually they get there and it's, I mean, I think it looks cute, but I think it's clear that they think it's like shitty. It's like definitely weird. It's not really even a restaurant. There's one table there and a bar it's empty except for them. It's just a, it's not really even a restaurant there's one table there and a bar it's empty except for them it's just a it's a weird place yeah yeah and they don't understand the menu and there's that

again that feeling of like just not being not like knowing where you are and not knowing how to navigate this situation. And Patrick comforts them. He's saying, or he says to them, I got you. I can order for us. I'll get you all the best foods, and I'll take care of you. I'll take care of you guys. And Louisa says, remember, I'm a vegetarian.

And he says, you eat fish, though, right? And she says, remember, I'm a vegetarian. And he says, you eat fish though, right? And she says, yes. And he says, so you're a pescatarian. You're not a vegetarian. And she like smiles, but you can see she's very annoyed. She's like, yeah, I'm a pescatarian. And he's like, so like, so are fish, not animals. And she says it's better for the environment. And he says, so the way that we like farm fishing and all of that, like,

you don't care about that. The way the things that we're doing to our oceans. Oh, it's so awful. And she's like, doesn't know how to respond to that. And he says it so like just tosses it off and then moves on and is like, OK, so we'll get this on the menu. Changes the subject really quickly. So he doesn't even really give her a chance to respond, but just makes her feel really uncomfortable. Oh, my God. But then, you know, we're eating food now and the wine is flowing. Seems like we're all relaxed again. And Patrick and Karen get up and they're clearly a little drunk and they start dancing.

And Bjorn and Louisa follow suit and they get up and kind of dance a little bit as well and trying to have fun and then patrick and karen are like get really intimate with the dancing they're like groping each other and really making out and like moaning and it's clearly again making luisa very uncomfortable and uh so they're after after that they're all they get the bill they're getting ready to go patrick says to patrick and bjorn walk up to the register to pay and patrick makes a comment wow you guys really ordered a lot of stuff basically he's like someone had a lot of fun tonight i guess as he's looking at the bill and bjorn is like oh well let me like contribute we can split it didn't he do the ordering for them yes and it's in these moments i think it's also like the language barrier provides a lot of, I think, doubt in everyone's minds because it's like, oh, did I misunderstand?

Am I misunderstanding now? Because he basically offers to chip in and says, oh, I'll get my card now. And Patrick like pats him on the back and is like, thanks, man. And turns away, does not put his card in. And Bjorn says, oh, so the so the dinner is on us. And Patrick says, oh, my gosh, that's so nice of you. Like, thank you so much. Oh, my God.

This Patrick motherfucker. This Patrick motherfucker. So then they're driving home after dinner After Bjorn has paid for this expensive dinner That they were invited out to And Patrick is blasting the music Really loud on the drive home And Luis is asking him to turn it down

He's turning it up Karen's laughing and looking back at them And she's like, can to turn it down. He's turning it up. Karen's laughing and looking back at them. And she's like, can you turn it down? And he's like, why isn't he turning it down? And Karen's like, he's just so drunk. He's like driving the car. And they, I mean, it is like empty roads in the middle of nowhere. So maybe a safer place than normal to drunk drive.

But again, still bad. So maybe a safer place than normal to drunk drive. But again, still bad. And Louisa's clearly getting like extremely frustrated. When they get back to the place, get back home, Louisa goes, she's like, I'm going to take a shower and go to bed. Gets in the shower. And as she's showering, the bathroom door opens and we hear someone come in and pee and she it's like a very slow tense scene of her just freeze like freezing being like perfectly still in the shower clearly doesn't know who's in there we're assuming it's patrick like a man. And if it were Bjorn, he probably would have announced himself. So he just slowly

walks in, pees, washes his hands, takes his time and walks out. And the shower door is like that cloudy glass so you can't like fully yeah fully see but you can see a little bit but you can see shapes yeah so it's like extra violating so she goes back into the room with bjorn and she's clearly really freaked out and like curls up next to Bjorn and he's comforting her and like stroking her hair and saying like are you okay like what's going on and she doesn't say anything but him like touching her turns into them kissing and then they start having sex, which is an interesting time for that. But she was just looking for some comfort, I guess, in this moment. And as they're having sex, we hear Agnes calling out to them. Agnes is in the room with Ab sex and so they're they're quiet and don't respond and continue having sex and there's also in there on the side of their room on one of the walls of their rooms are those like blocks of again that like opaque um glass looking thing and we see patrick walk and like look in through the glass where you can't like fully see but he you can see that he's looking right at them and can probably see that they're

having sex and he walks away so then that night they're now like sleeping. All the lights are out in the house and Louisa decides to go get Agnes to bring her into the bed with them. And she's not in Abel's room anymore. And, um, she's like looking around the house. It's all quiet.

She's tiptoeing around and she goes into Patrick and Karen's room. And Agnes is sleeping in bed with them. What the fuck? No. What the fuck? Even worse, Patrick sleeps in the nude. No. In the bed,

it goes naked, Patrick clothed, Karen and Agnes. And so I feel like there's always these like kind of degrees of like, I don't know. It's like not the worst it can be, but it's quite bad. Oh my fucking God.

And so she, she quietly is able to get, pick agnes takes her into the room starts packing up her shit she wakes up bjorn yeah yeah they're leaving right we're leaving right now good good they're gone they're gone they quietly pack up their stuff and they get in the car it's the middle of the night kind of like nearing dawn it seems like it's like getting a little lighter i can't remember if the netherlands it's lighter earlier oh true yeah is it summer yeah anyways i guess that doesn't matter but they get in the they get in the car and they are driving away bjorn doesn't even know what has happened so to like to his credit she was like we're leaving right now and he was like okay

she put her foot down he's like all right i but we're doing it and so they're driving away and then agnes says i left my Fucking bunny No leave it leave it Leave it We'll get you another bunny We're not going back there And Luisa Says like we'll get you another one it's fine And Bjorn

Bjorn says we can go It's fine like they didn't make it too far We can go back and grab it really quick No God I am so mad i am so mad you're right i'm so mad so they go back and luisa and agnes stay in the car bjorn says i'll go grab it really quick and as he goes inside agnes fucking reaches under the car seat and the bunny's in there no you little bitch you fuck fuck you agnes you little idiot you didn't even check and so louisa now goes in because she's got to tell bj. He's not going to be able to find it, but finds Bjorn talking to Patrick.

Patrick has woken up. It is like dawn now. And he basically is saying like, what's going on? What are you guys doing? Agnes is sick. Agnes is sick. We have to take her home.

This is exactly when you fake a medical emergency. Have they not heard of that? Oldest trick in the fucking book. My tummy hurts. I gotta go. Exactly. It's really that simple. But he's basically saying, Patrick looks mad. Karen's up now too. And asking what's going on. And he's like, our guests tried to leave in the middle of the night without saying goodbye. Like what's happening. And Louisa looks like, you know, she doesn't want to obviously be having

this conversation, but it's like, she's like, look, there's been a lot of things that haven't felt right since we've been here. And I think she tries to start small to see if she can get away with it for some reason. And she's like, the bed's not comfortable. And the room for Agnes is not comfortable. And I feel like I can't remember what she is, but she's like going up in severity of the thing ending with, and you were, you can't have our child sleeping in bed with you. Like that's not okay. And Patrick says, I I'm, I'm in shock. I'm in complete shock right now.

He looks really angry. And so Karen steps up and basically says, look, I am sorry our house isn't big enough for you. Oh, my God. And I'm sorry we don't have nice enough things and lots of extra space. We're not rich. And is basically explaining away each of the points in a way that makes them look like the assholes, Bjorn and Louisa. That's okay. Who cares? We're assholes.

See ya. With Agnes sleeping in bed with them, basically is like she was calling out for you Where were you like You didn't answer Your daughter calling out for you She was upset Where were you I hate this

So it puts Bjorn and Luisa Now in the apologetic position Because now they look like the assholes. Patrick kind of softens and he's like, I'm sorry, you guys aren't having a good time. But like we had something really cool planned for today. I hope you just decide to stay one more day. We had like such a nice time with you in Italy. I'm sorry.

Like, oh, I think one of the things she brought up was the paying for the dinner. And he's like, well, we'll reimburse you for that. Like we did, we did not mean for that to be like, I thought that you offered to pay. And basically they're saying like, we'll do everything to, to make it right. And if you, if you want to go, we understand understand but i hope you stay because today is going to be a cool day we had something cool planned for today so bjorn and luisa decide to stay okay okay because they feel bad and so we see now bj Bjorn and Patrick go for a drive and Karen and Louisa and the kids stay at the house and they're doing some gardening. Awesome day.

Really cool day. Going to be worth it for sure. Glad we didn't leave. And Bjorn and Patrick have this interesting conversation where Patrick is trying to describe having a feeling inside of him that feels kind of wild. And this seems to resonate with Bjorn. And he says, I get that, too. But I usually just tamp it down. Like I push that feeling down. And they're kind of like bonding in this moment and they walk out and they've driven out to this, it's kind of like a rock valley

gorge type thing. It's just again, middle of nowhere. I don't know know just like an empty looking place and they walk to the edge of this rock rocky cliff and scream they do the their primal screaming because no one can fucking hear them oh my god which we've talked about screaming before screaming is great honestly that part sounds fun i do love to scream as loud as you can. If you ever find yourself in this type of situation, I would do it too. And we're seeing Bjorn is really liking it as well. This kind of primal side of him that he feels he's not able to let out a lot. And Patrick is kind of giving him the space to do that

let that wild side of him out and then they go back to the house later that day and i think they're prepping another meal and chopping and louisa slices her finger and she's holding, um, uh, Patrick tells her runner run under the water. And earlier in Italy, when they first met, they've been getting to know each other, said what they all do. Patrick said he was a doctor. So now Bjorn says, thank God we have a doctor here kind of as a joke. And Patrick gives him this look like what and he's like you're you're a doctor right like is her finger gonna be okay and he's like oh I'm not a doctor and they say you told us you were a doctor and he's like oh I lied and they ask what and he said he says oh sometimes I do

that if I feel insecure and I want to impress people. But he's so fine with it. He like he doesn't care. Yeah, he's not embarrassed at all to be caught in the lie. He's like, oh, yeah, no, I do. I do that. If I feel insecure, I'll just lie. They say, well, what do you do? And he says, oh, I don't work.

I don't believe in working, which I love that. Oh, yeah. Patrick, we have this in common with Patrick. Yeah, we have one thing in common with Patrick. Work sucks. Work sucks. We shouldn't have to do it. I believe in it.

And then while this is happening, Karen has asked Agnes to set the table. Karen, not Louisa. And kind of like told her to do it. Like Agnes, go set the table, Karen, not Louisa, and kind of like set the, like told her to do it. Like Agnes, go set the table as if it was her daughter. Louisa kind of steps in and is like, oh yeah, Agnes, show her how well you can set the table. But then as she's tending to her finger, we see that Karen is kind of scolding, um, Agnes saying you're doing it wrong. And like, like slamming the fork and knife, like in the opposite direction,

like this is how you do it. You freaking idiot type of vibe. And Louisa tells her like, Hey, could you not talk to her like that? And Karen kind of brushes it off and is like, Oh yeah, sorry.

Walks away, goes back to baking the food. And again, this happens while they're eating dinner. Karen is like telling Agnes that she's like chewing too loud or something. And again, reprimanding her and scolding her. And

Louisa snaps and is like, stop talking, stop telling my daughter what to do. Stop talking to her like that. Hell yeah. Karen looks at her like, what crawled up your ass? Like, calm down, lady. Well, what crawled up your ass? She's like, OK, relax. Like, it's fine.

And Agnes says that her and Abel had made a dance earlier. They had been practicing a dance and they'd love to show it to them. And so after the meal, they all go into the living room and they're now going to watch a dance that Agnes and Abel have choreographed. And so they put on the music and are doing the dance. And Patrick stops them mid dance, says, Abel, you are out of sync. You're not doing the dance. And Patrick stops them mid-dance. Says, Abel, you are out of sync. You're not doing it right. And start over.

And so makes them start from the beginning. And stops them again. Abel, your timing is not right. You're not doing it right. Start over. Like, get it right. Oh, my God. And then we send Bjorn our saying, like, it's oh my god he said bjorn are saying like it's

fine like they're doing a great job i'm sorry also did we ever learn what the cool day was or did it we just had a regular fucking driving into some fucking rock field which was just for the two men yeah yeah awesome yeah so then uh this like repeats a few more times. Patrick is getting angrier each time and yelling at him until Abel starts crying and Patrick like smashes the glass he was drinking out of and is basically screaming at Abel. Like I, like, you're so bad at this. You're embarrassing yourself. You're embarrassing me. Like, why can't you do this right?

And Louisa and Bjorn start yelling at Patrick. And they're like, you can't talk to him like that. Like, he's just a kid. And he's like, sorry that we don't parent the same way. But, like, he's my son. And it's not going well well but they're leaving the next day so they they they are going to bed now after that very uncomfortable situation and they're packing up all their stuff getting ready to leave in the morning first thing in the morning and

they're talking about okay like i'm gonna take Agnes to her swimming lesson tomorrow or, or whatever. They're like making their plans for when they get back to Denmark. And we hear as they're falling asleep, Abel crying in his room again, Agnes, I think is in the room with them and Oh, everyone's asleep except for Bjorn. So Bjorn is hearing Abel crying now in the middle of the night, woken up by his cries. And we hear Patrick like telling him to shut up basically and sounding more and more angry. And then we

hear Patrick like storming across the house to go into Abel's room and the cries are like getting louder and louder until they just stop. Okay. Okay. Okay. Bjorn is obviously stressed by this. And then here's like really loud noise coming from the living room.

And he gets up to check it out. And the TV is blasting at full volume. And he's confused looking at the TV and we see Patrick outside behind him looking at him through the sliding glass door. Sliding glass doors are so scary. And then Patrick walks out of sight as Bjorn turns off the TV. And as he turns off the TV, he notices that the sink is running. Walks over. and as he turns off the tv he notices that the sink is running walks over and uh as he turns the sink off he hears the door to the um like garage type thing like slamming

open and closed like someone has left slamming open and closed. Like someone has left that door open and the light on in there. And he walks out to go close that door. But then gets curious about what's inside. Like what the, he like sees a peek inside as he's about to close the door

and it's filled with suitcases and he is like what the fuck and goes in to to look and as he's in the room we just see rows and rows of dozens of suitcases and it's this kind of a-frame, the scariest architectural type for cabins. And all on the walls are photos, vacation photos. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Most recently, we see the photo of all of them, of them and abel and agnes and then the one right next to it is them with another couple and the other couple's kid is abel yeah is abel i fucking knew it no no of course of course abel looking smiling and happy like we've never seen him look

here fully out yeah has a tongue tongue intact we don't see the tongue but we presume it's in there oh my fucking god i fucking hate this no no no no no this is so crazy how bad this is this is gonna get worse if you move it i know i I believe you. Now I know where this is going and I'm not a fan. And there is, we basically follow the chain of just down these dozens of photos each time them with the child of the couple in the previous photo. And so, and looking happy when they're with their own family and just like vacant behind the eyes when they're with patrick and karen oh so now bjorn is like well we gotta get the fuck out of here finally he finally clicks i guess we shouldn't have gone back for benny nope fuck as he's going back to the house he sees the pool they have a pool they were in earlier and he sees floating in the pool. Abel's dead body.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Runs to their room, starts, he wakes Louisa and Agnes up. We're leaving right fucking now. They get, he doesn't tell them what's happening, but obviously Louisa doesn't need any convincing. He's like, great, let's go. They get in the car and are driving, and they run out of gas or are running low on gas, and they stop at a gas station, fill up. Not telling anybody, not calling anybody.

To be fair, it doesn't look like an attended gas station. We don't see anybody else there. And it looks like a Texas Chainsaw Yee type gas station. It's not a welcoming gas station. But still, it seems like we should be maybe trying to alert anybody we can. Tell someone. Tell someone. Anyone. Nope. They fill up the tank, they get back on the road. Bjorn is is to be

fair terrified he's so so scared and he's any headlights he sees behind him he's he's panicking his like palms are sweating he's like freaking out and luisa doesn't know what's going on she's like what are you okay like what's happening he's not telling them and there's like headlights behind them a car coming up behind them that then overtakes them. He's like freaking out and hyperventilating and and turns off onto a side dirt road. No, no, no, no, no. And gets stuck in a fucking like ditch. The tire gets caught in like this untended road.

Are you fucking serious? God damn it. God damn it. God damn it. I'm sweating. I'm full sweat right now. Full sweat. There's no cell phone service. Of course. But he sees a house in the distance so he leaves Louisa

and Agnes in the car and says I'm gonna go get help. No. Runs to this house as we see him run away we see Patrick in a car looking like watching all of this with the headlights off in the distance

god fuck damn it Bjorn is like running through puddles. He's like getting filthy through muddy puddles and like really freaking out. And this house, like nobody's there. It's maybe not even actually a house. It's more of a storage unit building.

And it's just like doesn't, it's not able to find anybody. And so he comes back to the car and Louisa and Agnes are gone. They're not there anymore. And he's now running, screaming, crying. He's like calling out for them. Louisa, Agnes doesn't know where they are and runs back out to the main road. And we see headlights coming and the car pulls up, pulls up to a stop in front of him.

Patrick gets out of the driver's seat, calls out, Bjorn, we got your call. Thanks for the call. Like, sorry that you got stranded out here. And he walks up to Bjorn and we see like Louisa and Agnes are totally unbothered. Like they just were told that Bjorn called Patrick to come give them a ride. So they're like appreciative that they've been rescued. Oh my fucking God. I'm sorry. This is terrible. Bjorn is looking so panicked and Patrick comes up close to him and basically says, it's OK, as long as you do everything we say, it's going to be fine. You're going to be OK.

No, it's not. History tells us it is not. So Bjorn gets in the car. He's in the he's in the front seat with Patrick driving. Karen and Louisa and Agnes are in the back. They ask, where's Louisa? Ask where's Abel? And she said, oh, the babysitter came back over.

He's at home. He's fine. We know that's not true. And they're driving and driving and driving. And Bjorn is just like trembling in fear. And Patrick stops, gets out of the car to pee on the side of the road. He pees like right in front of the car where the headlights are. Bjorn is looking at the keys in the ignition, debating if he should do anything he doesn't patrick gets back in the

car jesus fucking christ agnes is now getting scared it's kind of we're getting the impression that they're kind of just driving around in circles like they're not going home and louisa is now starting to pick up that something's not right. And Agnes is like, mom, I want to go home. I want to go home. This is in Danish. And, and Louisa says to her, you know, what does mommy always say? As long as mommy's here, nothing bad can happen. Like it's going to be okay. It's going to be okay. And she's kind of nuzzling into Louisa and Karen like reaches out to her is basically like telling her,

she's like, it's okay, Agnes. And Louisa's like, don't, don't touch her. Karen reaches out more assertively and says like, let go of her.

And she's like, no. And she's like, you will, you will let go of her. You will let her go. Oh no. And she pulls out some scissors some no some other

headlights come on another car has arrived and pulled up that babysitter that we thought steps out of the car no no no no no opens the door now bjorn is freaking out and trying to turn back and patrick punches him a whole bunch of times really hard in the face the babysitter opens the door grabs luisa holds her arms back as karen reaches for agnes oh my god grabs those scissors and fucking cuts agnes's tongue out And it shows it. It shows it. Oh my God. Everyone is screaming. Oh my God. Oh my God. And then the babysitter basically pushes Louisa back into the car and takes Agnes.

Louisa's screaming and trying to grab her, but they're holding her back. And babysitter gets in the car with Agnes, drives away. And Patrick. I feel like I'm gonna puke me too i feel like i'm gonna puke full puke um it's a this is a full puke moment actually oh uh actually bjorn does puke bjorn like projectile vomit like spray vomits at the front seat sammy you did not need to mention that. I forgot about that. You reminded me. Literally, like, so unnecessary for you to tell us. Emily's holding on for dear life right now. They're driving away now in a different direction. Oh, no.

It's crazy because I, like, knew this was going to happen. Me too. Me too. I didn't want the mom to be, like, there watching it happen. All of them there. I didn't me too. I didn't want the mom to be like there watching it happen. All of them there. I didn't want that. I didn't want that. They drive into that empty rock field.

Mm-hmm. Back again so soon. Mm. Louisa and Bjorn, I think some time has passed. They've driven pretty far and they've been like screaming and like fighting back. And now they are in the they like all get out of the car in this rock field. And now they look completely beaten, like they're just completely broken down.

They make them stand in front of the headlights. And Bjorn says Why are you doing this? And Patrick says Because you let me They tell them Take their clothes off

They do They just get naked And they tell them to walk down into the rock valley they do and they're crying and they're like holding each other and a rock flies and smacks luisa in the head knocks her down she's like bleeding from her head another rock flies hits her in the jaw and then rocks just start flying and both of them are being stoned to death oh my god and they die and this scene is like brutal and they did it really well it must be cgi because it's just showing them like getting hit by like rocks so they're like skin is being torn off at the place

where they're being hit and it's like looks really gnarly and we see them die oh my god i need to like get up and walk around the room that was me after the first viewing i was like fucking doing laps around my house. I could not. I mean, at this point, at this point, they absolutely need to be dead. They need to not be alive anymore because of what has just happened to their daughter in front of them. They need to be dead.

They're dead. Thank God they're dead. Thank God. Honestly, it's like a happy ending. Honestly, kind. That was a happy ending. I mean, bad, bad way to go, but she's um and we our final scene is a another resort in another vacation town and we see all the children playing in slow motion and we're looking at them knowing that something bad is going to happen. Which one of these kids is going to be next? And we see Patrick, Karen, and now Agnes arriving.

Agnes with her bunny. Just completely dead behind the eyes. And they pull up at the vacation resort. And that's the end of the movie. Oh, my fucking god okay this okay this this this movie this is so much scarier than demon movies so much scarier it's just the idea because even if like if because part of me had been thinking, oh, maybe they're like worshiping the devil or something like that. But no, of course not.

If that had been the case. They're not even child traffickers. Like they're they're just killing each of the kids that they because that's what I kind of thought at first, like their child, which I guess may be the definition of child trafficking. They're not like selling these children. They're just like psychopaths. Yeah. That are this is their thing that they like to do yeah there's no point to it other than them enjoying doing this exactly it's completely nihilistic so deeply nihilistic and there's no there's nothing outside of themselves except just their own desires to do it and i hate that and i hate i'll never be

polite to anyone ever again that's yeah that's the moral of the stories remember to always listen to your instincts we've talked about this before to uh don't be worried about hurting somebody else's feelings making somebody else feel bad Especially if your child is involved Especially if there's a kid Involved You get the fuck out I hated that

I needed therapy right now I need a therapy session Literally right now Okay So I think I was a higher degree of upset for more of funny games yes but but i never reached as high a peak as i just yes this wasn't as upsetting for as long but when it was it was the worst thing I've ever heard Yeah

I agree with that Yeah I Described the feeling of watching it And I guess probably listening to it as well It's like being a frog Slowly being boiled and watered Like it's just All these

Things that we explain away And not realizing that all of those were obviously, I mean, we realized, but there were clues the whole time, letting you know what's to come, just building in intensity, just pushing the boundaries, pushing the limits further and further and further. How much can we fuck with you without you standing up for yourselves? And they do stand up for themselves here and there in in ways that don't matter but they have a lot of opportunities to leave and i kind of think that if they had left they would have let them leave like they don't stop them any of the times that they get in the cars to drive away. They always die. I mean, that was the whole thing. You let us. Yeah. That's what's so frustrating about it. And I mean,

the thing that I find hard to believe, but I guess is the point, all of it's kind of hard to believe, but the fact that they would be able to get away with this over and over and over again, and one of the kids wouldn't have like tried to kill them or like run away or like written a note to someone or yeah the kids are young but not so young that they wouldn't be able to like think to alert someone especially because you know they're at this deserted cabin but then if they're going to a villa with a bunch of other people like you would think one of the kids would have been able to be like they cut my tongue out yeah like write it down and we do have the scene where abel shows him the missing tongue i know but no yeah so not enough he wasn't he wasn't like to write a note or do a little more like pantomime mean you know they cut my tongue me they cut me yeah it wouldn't take

that long yeah but you've got to also i mean they're probably they're so traumatized yeah no no of course of course i'm not trying to victim blame here i'm just trying to like no but i agree you would think that somewhere since this has happened dozens of times uh it might not have gone so smoothly. Yeah, maybe in one of the instances, a kid tried to warn them and they just killed the kid. They just went right to it. Yeah. Yeah. But it's the complete antithesis.

Sorry, this is the other thing that bothers me is that like they told their friends they were going to visit these people. Yep. They sent a postcard with their information. These family goes missing. One of the first thing they do is go, go to this cabin. I mean, maybe they didn't put the cabin details on the postcard, so it's too hard to find or something. But like, yeah, no, I think it also feels like poke holes in it but i think in general the movie just really succeeds at the point that

it's trying to make and i feel like getting into all those details like doesn't no i need to it's the only thing i'm holding on to yeah true it's the only thing to hold on to right now i also need something can anyone say anything else funny about it about the movie something funny about the movie please i guess i need i need it so bad was anybody wearing a funny hat wearing a funny so that's not funny i deeply regret now waiting to watch the trailer i i that was a mistake yeah um i hate that i have that ahead of me yeah it's uh the movie it's like the opposite of my favorite part of horror movies with where the protagonist snaps and reaches that point where they're like nothing is like they'll fight back

with everything which is took everything it took their will from them completely satisfying to watch like those moments are so cathartic and this is just the complete opposite of that and it's really interesting because that's why i was so angry because it like feels like you don't get that release and it's just like so much stress stress stress and then it's just bad and there's no like because even if they had fought back and still died like all of those things still could have happened and if they had like at least fought like fucking hard it would feel different and it would feel more satisfying but again that's the point is that they're not doing that and that it's like showing us that he's a pushover from the very beginning with like the bunny the first time and the the so i don't know it's like it's really

effective in what it's trying to do The chair move was them testing Who they would pick So I will say watching it a second time Was much more enjoyable just because I knew what was going to happen so I wasn't like Yeah Shocked by that and it made it more Interesting to yeah just see all those little

Seeds that had been planted And knowing the like true intention obviously i knew the first time that their intentions were bad but um yeah so good god but it was really a really a bad first watch that was such a bad one that was such a bad one i was so i'm gonna tell everyone i know not to listen to this episode. It's not allowed. It's an X-rated episode. We should be able to rate our episodes. Do a rating system.

Yeah. This one's triple X. It's a double black diamond. That's for sure. This one I hated so much more than Martyrs. Yeah. I knew you would. I fucking hate.

Yeah. I mean, obviously, because a child, there's rampant child abuse and child murder. Yeah. I hate that. But it's also like, it's in every horror movie I've now discovered. It's also just feels as much as I like, don't want to admit it.

Like it feels more realistic than the alternative. Right. Like, cause there was a part of me that's like, this wouldn't happen. And like we were trying to do earlier. Yeah, but I think, I think it would, I think if it came down to it, probably not for everybody, but it could, it definitely could. And is maybe more likely than you killing all of the people that have wronged you, you

know? Well, it's also a fun mind game to like put yourself in their shoes and say like how, what, what you would actually participate in, because I could see myself like going, you know, meeting someone on vacation and then going to see them again. But I would feel like I would need to have had more of an interaction than like what they had. Right. I think since now I've heard about so many of these horror movies, I'll just never drive to an eight hour cabin, remote cabin ever. Yeah, we're not doing cabins. Yeah.

Wow. Well, what a bad time. Yeah, I didn't I didn't have a good time. It's a good movie, though. I will say it's like really they're all so good in it. You can see now why nobody wanted to play Karen and Patrick. They're all so good in it. You can see now why nobody wanted to play Karen and Patrick.

And it's amazing that despite only 12 people auditioning, they found good actors to do it. They're so good. And a little bit of trivia is that they're married in real life, which is fun. Wow. I wonder if... That scares me a little. Can you imagine being friends with them in real life? I would never be able to look at them the same. I hope they're the nicest people on earth

so too but that almost make it like weirder they're so good at being so scary yeah oh i don't like it yeah yeah it's not remove that one From the brain Not a good time A little tap tap Remove that memory Men in black memory wipe The last 90 minutes But yeah so if we had done it

After I watched it the first time I think it would be like I would Have a very different um outlook on it because i was i was really really angry and now i respect it you know it's i think it's a really good movie yeah i can i respect it sure i respect it i just feel like why it's a cautionary tale it's a cautionary tale and it's honestly a good cautionary tale it is something that we all need to practice more of enforcing our own boundaries and being able to tell people now and not being afraid to hurt people's feelings we all we do need to get better

at that boundaries are a really good thing and we've talked about this before and it's funny that it's also this is it's a swedish film and book no no the girl the one the one i'm going to reference which is girl with the dragon tattoo which um has this whole this whole setup happens within it where like the murderer um invites someone over for dinner and the person is pretty sure they're the murderer, but not fully sure. And the guy like comes out of his house and he's holding a glass of wine and he's like, come in, like have some dinner. I made blah, blah, blah. And the guy's like 98% sure he's the serial killer, but 2% doubt that like maybe he's not and the guy's being really normal and like inviting him in and he's like okay and goes in and i think he has a comment later after he's like trapped him in a dog cage in the basement where he's like he's like you

shouldn't have come over for dinner like you didn't have to say that was dumb yeah like you didn't have to say yes to that yeah so we're gonna if we're 98 sure that someone is a murderer we're not gonna accept that dinner invite i feel like if i'm 50 sure you're a murderer i think probably if there's any suspicion at all why not just turn down the invite if it it's on the table, I will not be coming. Yeah, the thing is, I'm so terrified of social interactions generally that adding murder to the whole situation, there's no way. I'm saying no to that guy even if I don't think that he's a murderer. You know what I mean? That's what's interesting about it. You can say no to most guys.

I'm saying no pretty much 100% of the time. Yeah, I don't want to go to a guy's house. Nope. No, no, no, no, no. I don't want to go to a guy's house No I don't want to go to a guy's house I am so mad that it's 930 at night Now I have to figure out how to go to bed I really feel bad about that for you But I guess we should watch this
