Starting point is 00:00:00 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'm too scared to watch scary movies. I'm Henley, and I'm also too scared to watch for themselves. I'm Emily and I'm too scared to watch scary movies. I'm Hemley and I'm also too scared to watch scary movies. I'm Sammy and I love watching scary movies. So I do it and I tell you
Starting point is 00:00:33 about them because I know you're freaking curious. Mm-hmm. And that's what I'm here for. She's so good at it. I was going to say what's up with us, but I already know what we're going to talk about because we've already discussed it. Breaking news. Guys, huge news.
Starting point is 00:00:47 Breaking news from moments before we recorded this freaking episode. Jamie Spears is removing himself from Britney Spears' conservatorship. Hell yes. Woo. Cue applause. The crowd goes wild. Should I throw in some applause sound effects this is huge news
Starting point is 00:01:12 we have been waiting for this for quite some time obviously the free Britney movement has gained a lot of traction in the past few years her conservatorship is super super disturbing and jamie spears is quite clearly exploiting her which is just so fucked up i mean he's her dad
Starting point is 00:01:35 and it's just it's awful um so i don't know what him stepping away means ultimately who will fill that space, but it's definitely exciting. Seems like a step in the right direction. Yeah, because the news was right that he was stepping down. It wasn't like her conservatorship was just ending. As far as I know. Yeah, no, she's still in the conservatorship, which I also don't really understand why that's continued. Other than like the doc that we that came out last year was just about how difficult it is legally to end a conservatorship. But it's very crazy that she's even still in one.
Starting point is 00:02:15 No. Yeah. So I'm listening to this podcast called Toxic, the Britney Spears story. And it's by these two women that were also featured in that documentary that you're mentioning. And it's like a complete deep dive into not just Britney's conservatorship, but conservatorships in general and how easy it is to exploit people in these situations. And it kind of also reminded me of I don't know if you guys saw that movie with Rosamund Pike, I Care A Lot. Oh, I didn't, but I heard about it. Yeah, so it's just that it really freaks me out that people can legally step in and take control of your whole life. That's so scary to think that that's even a possibility. That's so scary to think that that's even a possibility. And of course, it's there for people who are in a coma or completely mentally incapacitated. But it doesn't just happen in those situations. It happens in other situations. And Britney Spears is for sure the most public of those, but it's happening more than in just Britney's more than with just her as well.
Starting point is 00:03:28 And it's like so dark. And yeah, the silver lining in all of this is maybe it's shedding some light on conservatorships in general. And maybe it's going to mean that there will be some adjustments made amongst us because the doc that you're mentioning, it's the one on Hulu. That was part of the New York Times. Is it Framing Britney Spears? I think Framing Britney Spears. Yeah. Something that they mention in that doc, which was just like mind blowing to me, is the fact that if you're
Starting point is 00:03:55 like an axe murderer, you have a right to an attorney. But if you're in a conservatorship, you can't get your own lawyer. So it's just impossible. It puts people in an impossible situation. Yeah, it's very it's very, I just like I know so many people are
Starting point is 00:04:12 prisoners in so many places, but it's just like the idea of she has no freedom in her own life and it's so strange to watch a person just like not have any control over just like any of any control over just like any of her choices she's trapped I mean she has
Starting point is 00:04:28 a beautiful home which she's very proud of her garden I don't know if you guys have seen her post lately she has this beautiful garden um so it's not of course we have terrible place to be trapped but any place would be a terrible place to be trapped and it's just so bizarre to me that that is a thing that can be done and then like is so difficult
Starting point is 00:04:44 to undo well also that she thing that can be done and then like is so difficult to undo well also that she's such a public person and the fact that she wasn't able to get out of it as a such public person like she wasn't able to be heard as someone who was like such yeah yeah yeah yeah 100 because it's psychological too i think that they like manipulated her emotionally and made her feel like she was incapable of living her own life and being independent and like getting help well and like they forced a therapist she talked about that in her statement to the court recently that she was forced to see a therapist
Starting point is 00:05:12 that she didn't trust and like so you can't even get you she had no safe space to even work through any of this right it's terrifying because it's because she's so rich that she can't trust anyone because literally everyone is making money off of her. She is paying the lawyers that she doesn't want.
Starting point is 00:05:31 She is paying that therapist that she doesn't want. Like all of them have something to gain from her. So how could you trust them? Like it's it's must be so scary to be in that position where it's like you literally. Don't know who you can trust ever. Mm hmm. Yeah. Well, we love Brittany so much.
Starting point is 00:05:58 I'm really I hope she's feeling great today and hopeful. I'm feeling hopeful. I hope this is I hope this is the beginning of the end of her conservatorship because it's yeah it feels like it feels like this is a step in that direction it feels like jamie stepping down means that maybe the conservatorship will now end completely there's been so much momentum that i i hope that that yeah just like like keeps going. Yeah. And I highly recommend that podcast, Toxic, because it really has a lot of really fascinating detail. It's upsetting for sure. I was going to say, didn't you say it made you really cry?
Starting point is 00:06:40 It's going to be really sad. But it made me cry because in the first episode it plays audio from her her first like publicly released testimony and just hearing her oh god not doing her affected voice like saying i saying like i haven't been heard before and it just like gave me it just yeah i just started sobbing on a hike and had to put my mask on. I had my mask off because it's outdoors. It seemed fine. And I was covering my face with my mask because there was just snot pouring down my face.
Starting point is 00:07:16 And I was like, is it going to soak through the mask and just look disgusting? It didn't. But it was a big reaction. it didn't but it was a big reaction that just reminds me of um i was talking to someone who was just on a like seven hour flight and they you know you cry on flights you just do but like crying on flights now is just a whole different ball game if you haven't brought a spare mask you're just screwed you're screwed so bring a spare mask on your flight i genuinely always have like four in my purse at all times no matter what it's important it's a good good way to do it
Starting point is 00:07:56 well should we pivot away from that sad but maybe hopeful topic to something just all around unpleasant. Yes, I would love to pivot to something all around unpleasant. Let's do it. Yeah, let's do it. No, I'm actually really excited about this week's movie which is Your Next.
Starting point is 00:08:19 Came out in 2013. I think it's pretty fun. It's not all just miserable. Okay, that's great. It's not Audition, which haunts me in my sleep. I tried to, yeah, I was like, what can we do? That's a little change of pace. We haven't done a slasher in a while.
Starting point is 00:08:36 You know I love a home invasion movie. Yes. I was going to say, too, just a quick note about Audition. I got a text from Joel that he went into that movie not knowing what it was going to be about when he first saw it. Not that, but when he first saw the movie. And he truly did think that it was going to be a rom-com until the bag moved. And then the movie destroyed him.
Starting point is 00:08:56 So that really did happen to people. Yeah, it plays that way for the first half. I'm not surprised if I didn't know. Yeah, if I hadn't seen that cover image of her with her syringe. That tipped me off. Yeah, not a lot of syringes in rom-coms. I do. I
Starting point is 00:09:13 also want to say that just one overarching thing that has come out of this podcast is that I have friends that now reach out to me to ask about whether they should watch a horror movie or not. And I did get someone texted me. They were on a date and they were like, should we watch audition?
Starting point is 00:09:31 And I was like, fuck, no, absolutely not. A date movie, a date movie. No, really bad. Really bad. You must be single. You must be single or in an extremely committed partnership. There is zero in between to watch that movie. You must know absolutely everything about your partner.
Starting point is 00:09:52 You have to be in deep or not at all. So I felt great that I could be an expert on that. I felt really good to me. You might be saved a relationship, Penn. I might have. I might have. Well well you know what this one could be a good this could be a good date movie i think if okay if they're like a slasher so yeah if you're listening throw this on with your with your date okay this is a date movie um it is directed by adam wingard who also directed The Guest. Written by Simon Barrett.
Starting point is 00:10:26 Starring Sharni Vinson, Joe Swanberg, A.J. Bowen, Nicholas Tucci, Wendy Glenn, and Rob Moran. And it is streaming on Hulu. Is Joe Swanberg Taylor Swift's boyfriend? No. Oh. That's Joe Alwyn. Oh. Oh.
Starting point is 00:10:43 Yeah. Okay. He's cute. Now we know. He's more than cute Yeah. Okay. He's cute. Now we know. He's more than cute, Henley. He's incredibly hot. You heard it here first. He's incredibly hot.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Incredibly hot. And yeah, I just, yeah. So I love home invasion movies and it's been a while since we did a slasher and when we talked about slashers in our bonus episode on our patreon patreon.com slash tstw podcast um they talked about how slashers are all about the creative kills right it's like basically getting from kill to kill how do we make this the craziest kill and i just want to say this movie has my favorite kill of all time. Whoa. Okay.
Starting point is 00:11:28 Big news. Probably not going to be your guys' favorite. Okay. That's fine. Great. All right, everyone. It's our favorite time of the week, cocktail hour. What will you be drinking when you are visiting your boyfriend's parents' country
Starting point is 00:11:46 house? For us, we've decided that we will be having a frog in a blender. Yes, a frog in a blender. The ingredients for this drink are two ounces vodka, four ounces cranberry juice, two lime wheels, and one cup of ice. In order to make this drink, place all the ingredients in a blender, the vodka, cranberry juice, lime wheels, and ice. Blend for three to five seconds, just enough to chop everything up, and then pour into a chilled glass. Serve and enjoy. Cheers.
Starting point is 00:12:19 It has a 79% on Rotten Tomatoes, a 66% on Metacritic, 6.6% on IMDb. Classic. Classic across the board. Budget was $1 million and it made $27 million. Great. Pretty good. Pretty good. That is a shoestring budget.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Yeah, $1 million. I mean, $15,000 is a shoestring budget. Right, $1 million. I mean, $50,000 is a shoestring budget, but... Right, right, right. But I mean, a movie for $1 million? That's pretty good. That always just makes me think of Austin Powers when Dr. Evil thinks
Starting point is 00:12:56 $1 million is a lot of money. $1 million. $1 million. Remember when Austin Powers was a thing? I feel like I never hear about Austin Powers anymore. one million dollars one million dollars remember when Austin Powers was a thing I feel like I never hear about Austin Powers anymore Emily just rewatched them all one and two
Starting point is 00:13:14 one and two I haven't rewatched three yet because two was tough there were some things in it that were problematic not good to watch in 2021 yeah isn't beyonce in one of them she's number three she's in three so maybe i'll get there maybe i'll get there okay uh some trivia for us it is part it is categorized as mumble gore which i've never
Starting point is 00:13:42 heard that term before and i was delighted me, because have you guys heard of Mumblecore? Yes. The Duplass Brothers. Yeah, exactly. Mumblegore. Mumblegore is a play on that, and it is a millennial-era
Starting point is 00:13:59 brand of horror that relies on dialogue, low-budget aesthetics, and interpersonal relationships to develop scary stories. The actions and speech in these films often feel improvised and directors like to employ B-movie minimalism that maximizes the limits of a small budget.
Starting point is 00:14:16 I just had never heard of Mumblegore before. Mumblegore filmmakers include Adam Wingard, Ty West, Joe Swanberg, Mark Duplass, and Amy Simets, and all of those except for Mark Duplass, and Amy Simets. And all of those except for Mark Duplass are in this movie as actors. And so I kind of like that there's like this little crew of people who are just acting and directing in each other's movies. I mean, I imagine they're just all friends.
Starting point is 00:14:49 And I just thought that was kind of cool that they're just like a group of friends that are making low budget movies together, alternating roles, sometimes directing, sometimes acting. That's fun. I just thought that was great. That's so fun. And also that speaks to one of my favorite things in horror movies is when it's about interpersonal relationships gone awry. Yes. That's my favorite thing to hear about. You do. You love that.
Starting point is 00:15:03 And Simon Barrett is the movie, who's the screenwriter on the film, is also in the film. He's not included in that list of directors. I don't think he's directed one, but I'm just liking all this, like, role switching, like, we're acting. We're screenwriting.
Starting point is 00:15:20 Joe Swanberg, I knew that name was familiar for some reason. He did that show Easy that, I think it was was familiar for some reason He did that show Easy I think it was on Netflix Or Prime, one of those I think Netflix, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah And some other improvised movie
Starting point is 00:15:35 Not gore, because obviously I've seen them But that vibe Again, that makes sense Interesting It feels like scrappy It feels like they're all college college students or like in film school or something. Yeah, it makes it feel like accessible. It's like, ooh, this is fun.
Starting point is 00:15:53 Just regular folks making a movie that they thought was cool. And the last bit of trivia is that Sharni Vinson and Wendy Glenn, who are two actresses in the film, trivia is that Sharni Vinson and Wendy Glenn, who are two actresses in the film, were actually roommates and best friends before and during filming, which I just feel like must have been very fun. But not after. But not after. This movie
Starting point is 00:16:14 ruined them. And that is all the trivia I have. Shall we watch this trailer? I love this trailer. Ooh, okay. Let's watch it. Yes. Otherwise I would have said no. Otherwise I would have refused. I just want you all to
Starting point is 00:16:38 know how much it means to us that you're all here. Thanks to Mom and Dad. Beautiful. Just a perfect day. Dear Heavenly Father, that you're all here. Thanks to Mom and Dad. Beautiful. Dear Heavenly Father, we thank Thee for Thy food and help us to do our part with kind words and loving deeds. Amen.
Starting point is 00:16:55 Amen. What is that? What are we doing? Get away from the window! What is happening? I don't see anyone. Why would anybody do this? They've been watching us for days.
Starting point is 00:17:39 This wasn't a random attack. You just keep me hanging on. You just keep me hanging on. Great trailer. Great use of a song. Lou Reed. Yeah, man. I remember when that trailer came out. I was so pumped.
Starting point is 00:18:39 I think I probably watched it a hundred times when it first came out. It's a really good trailer. And honestly, I'm so glad I don't have to watch it. But it does look fun it's fun if you like if you like a slasher and you can handle some gore this also like leans in a bit to some comedy aspects leaning into that mumblecore aspect of the mumble gore like it feels it feels a little um it's funny it's rated r i think so i wonder i can't remember if it actually even came out in theaters or if it was like straight to netflix because i feel like i was really excited for it but i don't remember seeing it in theaters so i don't know i mean okay but I think it's rated R yeah because it yeah
Starting point is 00:19:25 it looks like a movie I it's like so close to being a movie that I would want to see and then just a few of the things I even saw in that trailer I was like no yeah there's some things that you're gonna say no to for sure yeah no it does kind of
Starting point is 00:19:42 remind me the vibe a little bit of ready or Not. Is that what it's called? Yeah. Yeah. It does the same, which is like that is, you know, also kind of fun. Yes. I'd say that is the closest film that we've done to this for sure, where it's just like
Starting point is 00:19:59 gets to this kind of ramps up like insanity of just like crazy shit crazy and also you're in like a you're in like a beautiful mansion in the middle of nowhere and it just goes wrong the um uh house from knives out knives out that's what it was yeah yeah yeah got those vibes too Very similar. Oh boy, those animal masks. I know. Maybe, honestly, as far as a mask goes, some of my favorites. But in this context, pretty freaky.
Starting point is 00:20:34 But also playful. They're a little cute. They're kind of cute. It's kind of fun. They're still hard plastic masks, though, which we gotta say, give a hard no to. Not a fan of those. Well, boy, should we get into it? Yes, let's do it.
Starting point is 00:20:51 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. 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
Starting point is 00:21:55 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.

What a way to start. This movie must sex. Oh, my God. What a way to start. This movie must be rated R, Emily. It has to be rated R.
Starting point is 00:24:11 Yeah. After they have sex, the guy gets in the shower and the girl pulls on some knee high socks and heads downstairs in just her knee high socks socks, underwear, and an unbuttoned shirt with her boobs out. It's a very interesting outfit. Okay, sure. This is a looks like a vacation home, maybe. It's in the woods. There are a lot of
Starting point is 00:24:37 windows in this house. And she is walking around half naked, and we see a POV from the outside looking in watching her as she makes herself a cocktail she makes one for
Starting point is 00:24:53 her boyfriend and she sits down on the couch and hears something from behind her. Turns to look and then we cut to upstairs. Guy showering.
Starting point is 00:25:11 He doesn't have a clue what's going on. Gets out of the shower. And we notice some writing on the wall that he doesn't notice quite yet he's toweling off and eventually looks over and sees blood scrawl on the wall that says you're next and he walks up to it um it's like what the fuck and then sees his girlfriend dead in the living room her head head stabbed, I think, like a pool of blood around her head. And he he panics and turns and is immediately grabbed by a man in an animal mask. And he, I think, also stabs him in the face. Cut to.
Starting point is 00:26:03 Wow. Great, great cold open. Fun opening scene. We cut to a older couple. This is Paul and Aubrey are driving through the woods to their
Starting point is 00:26:17 I guess vacation home. You saw in the trailer this place is a mansion, basically. It's huge. but it's clear nobody has been there in some time they're driving from far away uh they're talking about how they haven't there's apparently a new neighbor here and aubrey seems like annoyed by that like she liked having the entire place to themselves but they're like like, oh, we're so isolated and they're still pretty far.
Starting point is 00:26:46 Like it doesn't, it won't be that annoying. They arrived to the house and the front door is unlocked. Paul says, that's weird. And opens it and looks around all the furniture's covered in, um, you know, uh, sheets like clear that no one's been there in a while. And he's like, hmm, I guess maybe just one of the workers came in to work on something and didn't
Starting point is 00:27:12 lock it afterwards. I would just like to quickly say I hope one day in my life I can be in a situation where I need to cover my furniture and sheets. It's like, who is covering their furniture in sheets? You only see that in Down Abbey
Starting point is 00:27:27 when they dust off their country home. Like a room that isn't used but once a year. Yes. And the furniture is so expensive that you must cover it in a sheet. Imagine. That's, yeah,
Starting point is 00:27:43 an aspirational thing for sure. Couch sheet goals. So then we cut to a younger couple driving. And this is our protagonist, Aaron, played by Sharni Vinson, who is Australian. We get an Australian accent. She's the only Australianralian um accent in the film everybody else is american and at least in the in the film um and she sharni vincent is in
Starting point is 00:28:17 an excellent film called step up 3d which i had seen prior to this. And I was so excited. I was like, it's the girl from Step Up 3D. That's great. And I'm still kicking myself that I never made you guys watch the entire Step Up franchise with me because I know that I floated that idea and I think I got some interest. We should do them as bonus episodes. It would be hard to do them because we'll just be like, cue really cool dance sequence. But God, they're so good the dancing is so good so she's a really great dancer
Starting point is 00:28:51 she doesn't dance in this movie but we just keep that in your back pocket to know about her we just know she moves like a dancer the whole time exactly so we get the information that it's her and her boyfriend Crispin don't get a lot of characters named Crispin in movies like that. No.
Starting point is 00:29:25 so we know that they're going to go visit the couple that the older couple that we just met at this fancy house and then we go see back at the house aubrey's cleaning downstairs the mom and here's a thud on the floor above and kind of it startles her and she looks up and then immediately her husband walks in to that room from downstairs from another part of the house. And so she's like, what the fuck? Someone's upstairs. And he's like, no, what are you talking about? Nobody's upstairs. Like, it's just me.
Starting point is 00:29:53 And she's like, I just heard something upstairs. Somebody's here. She immediately like freaks out pretty big. And she's like, I'm going outside. I'm going outside. Like, let's call the police or something. And he's like, no, he's like, I'm going to go check. The door was unlocked.
Starting point is 00:30:07 And then you hear a thud. So I would be like, oh, one plus one equals there's fucking somebody upstairs. That's very fair. Yeah. So that's what she's thinking. Paul kind of tries to tell her it's fine. Like, I'll go check. You can wait outside.
Starting point is 00:30:20 That's fine. We see him go up to the second floor and around to wherever was above where she heard the noise coming from and he kind of pinpoints it to this closet and he's walking up to the closet tiptoeing reaching for the door handle and then behind him crispin appears is like dad and he turns around it's a jump scare. And he's like, oh, my God, you scared the shit out of me. And Crispin says, why is mom crying in the driveway? What's going on?
Starting point is 00:30:53 And he's like, OK, let's go out. Let's go out and help talk to your mother. And they leave the room. The camera pans back to that closet door and someone slowly presses it open god fucking damn it we don't see it who it is that is a thing too about a house that big it's like they could have even had a thud in that room and then moved to a different room by the time like it's like no right you'll never you'll never know for certain if someone is in the house or not there's just
Starting point is 00:31:27 no way you could know I have a very small place with like one closet that I rarely check and every single time I open that closet door I'm like what if somebody's in here every single time and it is the literal only spot someone could be
Starting point is 00:31:43 and I think it every time. Yeah. Big houses are scary. I mean, when I was up in Washington, it's like, it's really, really weird and different. And I didn't like it. So they go back outside to calm Aubrey down, Crispin's mother, and all kind of greet each other. They haven't seen each other
Starting point is 00:32:10 in a while. This is a family gathering of sorts. Aaron and Crispin come inside, get their stuff down. They've arrived at nighttime, and so they're getting ready for bed. And Aaron is saying she's really excited that she's meeting his parents. It's clear that she's really excited that she's meeting his parents.
Starting point is 00:32:25 It's clear that she's like really in love with Crispin. And he's in love with her, too. Like they're just a very young or like a very sweet little couple. And oh, she says something like, you're really lucky to have parents like this. And he kind of rolls his eyes like, oh, you know, they're pretty crazy. And she's like, no, I mean it. Like, you don't, like, you're really lucky. And he says, tomorrow's their anniversary.
Starting point is 00:32:50 35 years. Can you believe it? And she says, or he, Crispin says, it's been so long since the whole family's been together, like, it's gonna be pretty crazy. And she says, how so? And he says, you'll see.
Starting point is 00:33:07 Then there's... He wasn't expecting what comes, though. Hopefully. Right. Wait till he sees what happens. So, in the middle of the night, Aubrey gets up to go get a glass of water.
Starting point is 00:33:22 There's some tents. Those walking down the hallways at night shots. I hate those. I hate those. She's creeping down to the kitchen. She gets to the kitchen, is pouring herself a glass of water. We get a shot
Starting point is 00:33:37 from outside where an animal mask is reflected in the glass outside of the window. Just watching her. Oh, boy. Is this going to be like the black sheep of the family?
Starting point is 00:33:51 Is the animal mask a sheep mask? There is a sheep mask. There's a lamb, a tiger, and a fox. Okay. Interesting. I like that theory. Mm-hmm. But nothing happens. And so the next morning, Crispin wakes up and one of his other siblings and his wife have arrived.
Starting point is 00:34:17 This is Drake and Kelly. And in this family, there's going to be a lot of characters, character names. So there's a mother and father and four children, three boys and a girl, and three men and a woman, should I say. Three men and a woman. Oh, one woman. One woman in the family. And each of them has brought their respective partners. So total there is going to be 10 people here for the weekend.
Starting point is 00:34:55 Copy that. So we get our next brother is Drake. And it's clear that Drake seems to be the oldest and kind of still in this bullying dynamic where he's immediately picking on Crispin. Is Crispin the youngest? I'm not sure. But he's not the oldest. And he's clearly, like, still irritated by Drake. And it kind of seems like this still, like, hurts his feelings.
Starting point is 00:35:23 And he's like, stop. He's embarrassed and we see Aubrey is preparing dinner or lunch or something and Aaron asks her if she needs any help with anything and Aubrey says
Starting point is 00:35:41 if you could maybe go ask the neighbor for milk. I'm out of milk and we have a new neighbor here maybe go ask the neighbor for milk. I'm out of milk and we have a new neighbor here now. So maybe the neighbor has milk. And so. Have you guys ever asked a neighbor for something like that? Milk, eggs, sugar? Not once.
Starting point is 00:35:58 I have told a neighbor that they could ask me for sugar if they needed. But then they never asked. Very generous. Very generous of you, Sammy. Well, it was like we had like a conversation where I was like, oh yeah, if you ever need like a cup of sugar, you know where to find me. So I introduced myself to a neighbor.
Starting point is 00:36:18 So the sentiment's the same. So basically, yes, I have. I feel like I've always lived in places where it's like easy enough to go to a grocery store like run down to a mart where it's like yeah that's true easier to do that than to like knock on a stranger's door I've also never been friends
Starting point is 00:36:36 with my neighbors in that way you're not in the middle of the woods like these folks so Aaron heads out to go to the neighbor's house and meanwhile like these folks. Mm-hmm. So Aaron heads out to go to the neighbor's house and meanwhile Crispin is talking with his dad outside
Starting point is 00:36:54 at the grill and his dad is asking how did it go with the fellowship? Crispin says, I didn't get it. And his dad seems kind of disappointed and like, well that's like why didn didn't get it um and his dad seems kind of disappointed and like well that's like why didn't you get it like he's kind of putting him down too so crispin's kind of getting ganged up on getting a little shit from his brother and from his dad
Starting point is 00:37:17 and then we see aaron arriving at the neighbor's house which is the house from the cold open. And we hear this song playing. We saw in the beginning the woman put a CD on on repeat. And so it's the same song still playing really loud like she was playing it that
Starting point is 00:37:40 night. And Aaron's knocking on the window. Hello. I like she can hear someone's in there but nobody's answering the door. We see inside their dead bodies. Aaron does not see it and Aaron just shrugs
Starting point is 00:37:55 and decides I guess I guess they're not home. Starts heading back towards the main house. I don't like how this is giving me funny games feelings right off the bat. Sure. That's not good. We didn't like that one. That's fair. We didn't like that one.
Starting point is 00:38:12 Yeah, it's feeling like these animals are having a bit of fun. They're having a little fun. So then later that evening, the rest of the family arrives. Their daughter, Amy, and her boyfriend, Tariq. And then the other son's name is Felix and his girlfriend's name is Z.
Starting point is 00:38:36 And Z's got like black, black short hair with bangs and like heavy eyeliner. And she's like smoking a cigarette. Everyone's like trying to make a good impression on the parents z doesn't fucking care z is too cool they're like your name's z like the letter z and felix is like it has two e's after it but yeah and they're like wow that's so what a cool name and she's just like smoking her cigarette like glaring at them fucking cool um they all come in are getting settled aubrey the mom says to everyone like just want to say thank you to you all for being here it really means a lot to us that you all came and they all sit down to have dinner and they got like a fancy, long dinner table in this big room.
Starting point is 00:39:34 And they're catching up and getting to know the ones that they don't know, like Tariq, Amy's boyfriend. Drake is the kind of bully brother, is talking to Tariq and finds out Tariq's a filmmaker. and this is not essential to the plot but it really just made me laugh tarik says he makes documentaries and one premiered at a film festival and drake says do you make did you make it do you ever make any commercials and he's like no not really and drake's like i love commercials like they're better than the shows these days and it's like he says I think that's the highest form of the art right now because you have to be so synced. You have to get
Starting point is 00:40:10 them in the short amount of time. He's like, I just love commercials. And you can see Tariq getting so annoyed. I love that. I love someone saying, like, praising commercials. You never see that happen. And you can see it just, like, really irritating Tariq. And it's a nice little character moment of drake just like being annoying to everybody
Starting point is 00:40:32 yeah um then we drake is asking erin what she does and she says she's in graduate school and he asks if she was a student of Crispin's and she says yeah I was actually but I'm not anymore and Crispin turns to Drake and says she was my TA but we thought you know that's inappropriate so she's not anymore
Starting point is 00:41:02 and Drake kind of under his breath says yeah that's pretty unprofessional and crispin says what did you just say and drake's like what and it escalates and this is like the straw that broke the camel's back for crispin or he's like okay you've been saying little comments to me ever since i got here like are we just falling back into this pattern like why do you have to be like this why can't you just like take me seriously as an adult like why do you always have to do this that's like each person's little thing is triggered mom jumps in like trying to break the boys up it's like we're going back to you know childhood everyone
Starting point is 00:41:40 starts like jumping in and yelling and falling into old family patterns um everyone's yelling and tarik notices something outside gets up nobody notices him getting up and he like walks towards the window looks out the window and says what is that and then we hear a noise and see glass shatter, but it's like it's not super loud. Nobody notices. And and then we just see Aubrey's face like she's the first one to notice and kind of slowly each person turns and we see Tariq has an arrow sticking out of his eye and he grabs his head and like falls to the floor dead everyone starts screaming another arrow shoots in uh hits a family portrait we see outside a pov of a crossbow kind of aiming aiming people... Creepy guys love crossbows. Creepy guys love crossbows. Oof, oof, oof.
Starting point is 00:42:50 A crossbow, I think, is one of the scariest weapons. It's very scary. From Hush. Remember how scary that was? I know, especially now that we know how hard it is to load and stuff. It's really just for the expert. So, it's not doing you any favors
Starting point is 00:43:06 if you get a hold of it. Exactly. So we see the POV of this crossbow and people are jumping up and screaming and the mom, Aubrey, has kind of jumped up and we see her in the view of the
Starting point is 00:43:22 crossbow and Drake jumps up to like be like mom get down Aaron is yelling everyone like get down get down and Drake goes to grab the mom arrow shoots right into his back and they both
Starting point is 00:43:37 drop down and Aaron pretty quickly is kind of taking control of the situation she's like everybody get down. Someone call 911. Everyone stay calm. Like, take deep breaths. And everyone else is in complete chaos.
Starting point is 00:43:55 The mom is screaming, we're all going to die. Like, they're like freaking out. Well, she cried from a thud. So I'm not. I don't feel like she has great crisis management skills. Right. So Aaron pulls out her phone, and there's no signal.
Starting point is 00:44:11 And the dad says, there was signal this morning. I was making calls this morning. That doesn't make sense. Felix chimes in and says, they must be using a signal jammer. You can buy those on the internet for like 30 bucks drake i mean i i don't know drake with an arrow sticking out of his back is like felix you
Starting point is 00:44:31 fucking low life like why do you know shit like that of course you fucking know that still being an asshole like with the arrow sticking out of his back um aaron says okay let's we're gonna take these use these basically you basically use the dining chairs as shields as they walk past so they can get to the next room so one at a time they use the big tufted dining chair to hold up in front of them as they pass the window. And each of them gets passed. Aaron goes last. The crossbow shoots at her, but it just goes through the chair.
Starting point is 00:45:10 It doesn't hit her. There's enough distance between her and the chair that it just, it's fine. They all get to the next room over and still everybody's freaking out. They've got Drake. They're like, pull out the arrow, pull out the arrow. Aaron says, no, don't pull out the arrow.
Starting point is 00:45:27 Leave it where it is. Put pressure on it. Like, it's clear that Aaron, like, knows what to do in these types of situations. I think. Yeah, what's she in graduate school for? She said literature. Damn. And at some point, Crispin says to her, I've never seen you act like this before.
Starting point is 00:45:44 And she says like this is a pretty unique situation like basically why would you have seen me act like this before Felix says someone needs to run out to the car we need to get help Aaron says no everybody needs to stay inside and
Starting point is 00:46:01 it's getting a little bit out of Aaron's control she's trying she's like very much trying to keep everyone calm and inside but the majority of them have decided no somebody needs to run out to the car oh boy well that person's dead and so
Starting point is 00:46:17 they they say who's the fastest Drake says I'm the fastest but I've got this fucking arrow in my back and Amy chimes in and says I'm fast dad I can do it daddy I'm the fastest, but I've got this fucking arrow in my back. And Amy chimes in and says, I'm fast, Dad. I can do it, Daddy. I'm fast. Oh, no. And she kicks off her shoes.
Starting point is 00:46:32 Her boyfriend just died? Yep. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. She kicks off her shoes and she, like, gets in a runner's position. They are standing by the front door. Like, they're going gonna open it as soon as
Starting point is 00:46:46 she gets close enough they're like they won't be expecting her to be running out at full speed so we'll just open it at the last second she'll just fucking dart out go straight to the car and it switches to slow motion we get her starting to run they open the doors and as she leaves the house a piece of piano wire slits her throat and they have put a trip wire on the house basically or like a piano wire booby trap and it slits her throat real hard because she ran at it full speed. Oh, no. And she falls backwards. They pull her back in, close the door. Again, everybody's screaming.
Starting point is 00:47:32 Everybody's screaming. Erin, again, is staying pretty calm. She looks horrified. She's very shocked. But she is not, like, losing her mind. Like, she is as even-tempered as one could be in this situation while amy is holding her throat gurgling she dies pretty fast yikes um aaron again starts taking control okay we need to um we need to all get weapons she goes to the kitchen she starts
Starting point is 00:48:06 grabbing knives and she's like on it she's like gets a fucking meat cleaver and uh she's like we need to seal all the windows she starts locking going around locking window after window and crispin is like looking at her like what the fuck is going on he's like what are you doing and she says I'm uh she has her phone and she says some places you can text 9-1-1 even if there's just one bar so she's like sending texts on her phone she's like if it comes if it comes up like that'll go through and she is just really really taking charge and uh while everyone else is falling apart. Something tells me she has experienced some extreme trauma in her life previously.
Starting point is 00:48:51 Something. Has handled it extremely well, obviously. Yeah. So at Amy dying, Aubrey, her mother, is completely losing it. Catatonic. Yeah, she's about to pass out.
Starting point is 00:49:07 So she's just scream crying. And so Paul takes her upstairs to lay her down in bed. And Drake downstairs is getting pretty delirious with the... He's losing a lot of blood. And they've given him some sort of painkiller and he's like
Starting point is 00:49:26 it's fine like i can't feel it anymore and he like taps on where the arrow is he's like see i like don't even feel it anymore it's okay but he's like going pale and he's losing blood uh upstairs we see aubrey just laying in bed crying and from a top-down view we see a hand come out from underneath the bed just laying in bed crying. And from a top-down view, we see a hand come out from underneath the bed. Oh, fuck. And a man starts crawling out from underneath the bed. We see his head rise next to the bed.
Starting point is 00:50:00 He's wearing a fox mask. And he has a machete. He slowly stands up. And as he stands up, Aubrey senses someone is there. Turns to look. And we just see him bring down the machete. Cut to downstairs to hear her scream. Everyone hears it.
Starting point is 00:50:22 And runs upstairs. hears it and runs upstairs and we see the aftermath of Aubrey with her face just stabbed with the machete still sticking out of it. Oh, gross. So now everyone
Starting point is 00:50:36 except for Aaron is upstairs. Aaron is still going room to room securing the windows. As she is in the kitchen, a hand punches through the kitchen window grabs her by the back of the hair and we see a guy in a tiger mask i think it's hard to keep track the masks look pretty similar but i'll do my best and uh and she instantly mean, she's carrying a knife with her and she instantly stabs him through his forearm into the window frame. And so like pins his arm against the window frame and and he starts screaming and she goes because she's in the kitchen.
Starting point is 00:51:19 So she's going to grab like another knife. But by the time she turns around, he's gone. Damn. Okay. I around, he's gone. Damn. Okay. I'm on Aaron's team. Aaron's great. Aaron, pick me. Pick me.
Starting point is 00:51:33 Yeah, she's great. So back upstairs, everyone is surveying the mom's room. There is blood writing on the wall saying, you're next. Paul, the dad, is now losing it. And they kind of take him out of the room.
Starting point is 00:51:59 They're like, you can't see this, dad. Let's get you out of here. And only Kelly stays behind in this room. Kelly is Drake's wife, who's got an arrow in his back. see this dad let's get you out of here and only kelly stays behind in this room kelly is drake's wife who's got an arrow in his back um so it's now just kelly in this room and she's looking around and looks out the window i think this is on either the second or third floor and she's looking out the window and looking down and then she hears a creak in the room and she turns and looks and doesn't see anyone and she look she like looks at the bottom of the bed and gets on her hands and
Starting point is 00:52:38 knees and starts going to look under the bed and sure enough the same guy is still there pops out good scare we hear another scream but she kelly is able to like fully run away and so she like runs down the stairs um screaming everyone turns sees her coming and she's like ah there's somebody here there's somebody here i'm getting the fuck out of here she runs to the front door opens it ducks under the piano wire drake like sees his wife freaking out and running and goes to run after her ducks under it but he's got a big arrow sticking out of his back so the piano wire hits the arrow and he like stops in pain and then turns and like pulls the arrow out of his out of his own back. No. And looks at it and just passes out.
Starting point is 00:53:35 Oh, no. And then we see Kelly running through the woods screaming. Not a great move. Kelly. If you're going to make a run for it, at least be quiet about it. And go to a car? Just get to a car. Don't run
Starting point is 00:53:52 through the woods. Right. So, we see the man with the crossbow watching her as she just runs past him. Inside, at this point, Crispin now does say we need to get to the car. We got to get to the car. I'll go get the car and bring it up really close so everyone can get into it because, you know, Drake's hurt. Dad's not doing well like nobody can run so i'll just bring it as close as we can aaron really doesn't want him to do this she says she says please don't
Starting point is 00:54:33 please don't go um he says i gotta do this this is like my family this is our only chance like we need we need help and aaron pulls out a butcher knife gives gives it to him, says, take this. And he's like, okay, thank you. Back outside, we see Kelly running, and she makes it to the neighbor's house, and we hear that same song playing on repeat again. She comes at it from a different angle, which is just a sliding glass door, so she can see inside the guy propped up on the couch but from behind so she can't see
Starting point is 00:55:10 that he's dead she can just see like that someone's in there so she's like banging like please please let me in like what's fucking wrong with you answer the fucking door and of course we see the reflection of a lamb lamb mask coming up behind her. She turns and he punches her in the face so hard that she flies through the sliding glass door, shattering it into so many pieces.
Starting point is 00:55:38 So now she's like crawling through broken glass. through broken glass um we go back to crispin who is now outside at the cars looking under the hood of the car like something's wrong like maybe they've cut the brakes or gas or i don't know what you would do to make a car not function but he looks like he's basically looking under a hood like oh fuck um we go back to ke Kelly crawling through glass man in the lamb mask is just like slowly following behind her we see his like nasty combat boots crunching through the
Starting point is 00:56:12 glass and she army crawls to the front of the couch and finally gets a head on look at the guy sees that he is dead his head is bashed in the front. Basically, like, his forehead is bashed in.
Starting point is 00:56:29 And she screams, and the lamb mask guy grabs her again, throws her into a glass table. She's, like, on her back facing him now, and he's got a big old axe, and he does the, swinging practice thing like you
Starting point is 00:56:48 would do if you're like about to swing a bat like one two and she's just like he's like fucking with her and then he axes her in the side of the head she's dead oh my god I hate this. And then he goes and sits on the couch. The song restarts once again. He sits down on the couch next to the first man's dead body and does the trademark slow head tilt. I don't know to who. Nobody else is in there. That's just for us. Do you remember what
Starting point is 00:57:27 song is playing? Is it a song we'd recognize or is it just some other random song? You'd probably recognize it, but I don't know. I don't know it. Maybe you would. It's not Lou Reed Perfect Day as it is in the trailer. Unfortunately. That would be so
Starting point is 00:57:43 terrifying to be in that situation to get to safety to your neighbor's house and they're already dead i mean horrible really bad really bad really very bad crispin comes back inside basically says the cars are no good but i'm gonna go back out and just keep going like i'm gonna get as far as i can and hopefully be able to get cell phone reception. Like, I'll go as far as I need to go to be able to call the police. Like, basically, I just need to get to, like, wherever the next cell tower is or however far this jammer goes. And he's like, maybe Kelly made it. They don't know what's happened with Kelly.
Starting point is 00:58:20 So it's like, she might have made it. Like, there might be hope. Aaron, again again is saying like please please don't go um and he says i'll come back soon i promise so he leaves he opens the front door and he takes his butcher knife and cuts the piano wire it makes a little note like a little music note when he cuts it um and so now we have aaron paul felix and z um basically regrouping drake's drake is not dead but he is unconscious so they're kind of they move his body into a different part of the house out of the way um aaron says to them i think it's safe to say at least one of them is inside and like where is the safest place for us to be felix says
Starting point is 00:59:15 all the rooms have windows except for the basement and she's like no fuck that we're not doing in the basement that's way too easy they could basically like pour gasoline down there and we'd be fucked um she's like what we need is more knives and so she goes back to the kitchen to grab more knives and as she's coming back she's like about to hand them out to everyone and kelly's body gets thrown through the window as she passes it. And again, it goes into this very cool slow motion as she drops all of the knives. So they in slow motion fall all around. And we see
Starting point is 00:59:54 a man in a tiger mask slowly climbing in. Great shot of Aaron crawling away backwards from him, looking really scared. And this guy's got an axe, and he pulls it back, slams it down. She's able to turn in time to dodge it, go back into real time.
Starting point is 01:00:19 She kicks him in the balls. He drops to his knees. She grabs one of the things she got from the kitchen which is like a meat tenderizer like that is like metal things she hits him real hard in the kneecap with it he screams falls forward she hits him real hard in the
Starting point is 01:00:38 back of the head with it and just keeps fucking hitting him tenderizing his head. If you, oh my God. Erin, Erin, we love that you did not go into the basement. We love that you didn't settle for one hit. You went there.
Starting point is 01:00:56 That's what you needed to do. We love this. I think there's some stuff that we don't know about Erin. As I was taking notes, I had the captions on and it says in this moment flesh squelching then we turn and see felix and z who are in the room with her i the dad paul has um gone back upstairs i think at this point too i don't know he. He's just not in the room with them at this moment. Felix and Z are watching, horrified. Like, what the fuck just happened?
Starting point is 01:01:32 Who is this person, basically? This is not an average lady. Aaron picks up the guy, takes the mask off, basically shows them his face as do you do any of you guys recognize this man they say no it's just like a man with a shaved head she says like
Starting point is 01:01:53 all right well thanks for the help by the way and they're like well you look like you had it under control then upstairs we see the dad is checking that same closet from earlier and he opens the door
Starting point is 01:02:11 and we see it's full of bottles filled with pee and like snack wrappers oh they've just been waiting ew just waiting for how long? Why?
Starting point is 01:02:27 And enough time to fill a couple bottles with piss. Oh, God! And then the power goes out. Oh, God. It was only a matter of time. And downstairs Aaron turns to
Starting point is 01:02:43 Felix and Z and says, where's the circuit breaker? Felix says, I'm pretty sure it's in the basement. Why don't you go down there and check? I'll go check on my dad. And so Felix and Z both go upstairs to check on dad. Dad, at this point, Paul is like, he's like like they've been watching us this wasn't a random attack they've been here for days like i don't know what the fuck is going on and and he's like walking backwards down a hallway as they're trying to approach him they're like calm down
Starting point is 01:03:18 dad it's okay it's okay like we're gonna figure figure this out. He's stepping backwards, stepping backwards, steps into a clearing, and a man in a fox mask comes out from behind him with a machete and slits his throat. It, like, sprays blood onto Felix and Z's faces. And he, Paul, falls backwards, holding his throat, dying. And Felix and Z don't really react to it and they walk kind of closer to him as he's dying and he just like looks makes eye contact with them as he dies
Starting point is 01:03:57 and they're just kind of watching him die so z was like real yeah like I mean it was more than just her name you know it's more than just her name Henley I think you might have fucking called this wow and so I didn't like it when they told her to go in the basement I didn't like
Starting point is 01:04:21 that right no that did feel like she said basements bad mm-hmm so fox man comes and stands next to them and felix turns to him and says really you had to do that right in front of me and fox man pulls out some earbuds he's listening to music's like do you say something he's like it's fine i I just got to go wash up. And we see Felix go and like start washing his dad's blood off of his face. And then downstairs we see Aaron is in fact in the basement.
Starting point is 01:04:55 But no, no, no, no. She's, you know, still doing her favorite thing, which is gathering more weapons. She's like, what? And here's a weapon she's finding screwdrivers. She's like. I love that about her i love she that's my favorite thing about aaron wait is it just felix and z and crispin and aaron left is that those are the only people we don't know where crispin is right yeah crispin's outside drake was like not confirmed dead, but like unconscious for sure.
Starting point is 01:05:27 Yes, that's it. While Aaron's down in the basement, we see up in the main house. Crossbow lamb mask guy coming in and he comes in and sees tiger mask Guy with his head all beaten in and Lamb Mask Guy freaks out, starts screaming and like crying, knocks over the dining room table, makes a big noise so Aaron hears
Starting point is 01:05:56 that this person is inside and Aaron starts like tiptoeing up the stairs with her meat tenderizer in one hand and a screwdriver starts like tiptoeing up the stairs with her meat tenderizer in one hand and a screwdriver in the other and she's kind of crouched now at the top
Starting point is 01:06:11 of the basement stairs and lamb mask guy is basically on the other side of this door he takes off his mask we get a look at his face but we don't recognize him just another guy with a shaved head and he looks very mad and he grabs his axe and he's basically looking like
Starting point is 01:06:36 he's out for blood for whoever did this to tiger mask man as opposed to before yeah yeah true true now he's now it's interesting because felix and z didn't seem upset about ty are they just sociopaths and these other guys are just murderers there's a difference maybe maybe there's a difference so she erin So she, Erin, is crouching and eventually like somehow makes a little noise like a wood creak or a board creaks under her foot or something. And Lamb Mask turns, hears it, starts moving towards the door, looks through the keyhole. She looks through the keyhole. They like make eye contact through the keyhole. She's like, ah! And he takes the axe and starts axing down
Starting point is 01:07:26 the door and then is about to get it open and then at this moment Drake wakes up and walks into this room like dazed and is like what's going on in here and the lamb mask guy
Starting point is 01:07:41 turns to him with axe in hand and starts walking towards him. But it gives Aaron a moment of opportunity. She comes up behind with the screwdriver, stabs him right in the back. And Lamb Mask like screams in pain and just runs out the front door and just leaves. And they close the door behind him and uh at this moment felix and z run downstairs what happened we heard a noise and uh they say the one one got in but i stabbed him and he ran out and felix says do you think you like might have killed him she says no it way
Starting point is 01:08:26 he ran out no he's not gonna be dead and how how's your dad and he says my dad's okay he's just lying down okay then Aaron says there's got to be at least two more we need to grab more weapons from the basement we need to make it really fast and so Aaron just like more weapons from the basement. We need to make it really fast. And so Erin just goes down to the basement, grabs what she needs, runs right back up. Gives nobody an opportunity to keep her down in that basement. Yeah, good for her.
Starting point is 01:08:54 She comes back up and her and Z start, or she starts making Z help her hammer nails into basically wood planks and is setting them in front of all of the like doors and windows so that anyone that walks in would stand on nails. Basically, she starts building her booby traps. But I love it. In this context, it's correct. But I don't like it. Erin, you're hired. You're hired.
Starting point is 01:09:31 Oh, wait, it's fired. Was that Trump? Yeah, it was. You're hired. You're hired. You're hired. Erin, you're hired. You're hired.
Starting point is 01:09:42 Erin, you're hired. When you're here, you're hired. Classic Trump. Aaron you're hired you're hired you're hired Aaron you're hired when you're here you're hired classic Trump classic Trump um and Z is scowling this whole time and
Starting point is 01:09:55 as they're making these little nail boards Z says how did you learn all this stuff and Aaron says I had a pretty weird childhood.
Starting point is 01:10:08 Yikes. I actually grew up on a survivalist compound. And she said, growing up, my dad had a lot of feelings. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Picked the wrong family trip to do this shit. Yep.
Starting point is 01:10:25 And she says, my dad was really paranoid when we were younger that the world was going to end. This is not good for me having just discovered the collapse Reddit subreddit. Oh, the subreddit. Because I'm like smart dad. Sammy, you got to get off. You got to get off that subreddit
Starting point is 01:10:42 immediately. I didn't join it, but I saw enough. That doesn't mean you aren't looking at it occasionally. That's true. The world's a scary place. And look, it worked out well for Erin to have all these skills. Yeah, it did. So she says, yeah, basically her dad was paranoid, found everyone who agreed with him.
Starting point is 01:11:02 They moved to the Australian outback and he just like they just learned a shitload of survival skills he's she says i moved to the united states with my mom when i was 15 but by then i had already learned a lot and he just goes wow that's crazy um then we see drake and felix are in are still in the basement gathering stuff and drake basically says like i gotta i gotta go i gotta go out there i gotta go find kelly and felix says oh kelly's dead, you didn't know that Kelly's dead. And Drake freaks out and starts yelling at Felix. Clearly a dynamic that they have had in the past. And he's like, shut up, Felix.
Starting point is 01:12:00 Just shut up. Stop talking. And Felix grabs a screwdriver stabs Drake in the stomach Drake looks oh my god very shocked and stab with a screwdriver yeah in the stomach no thank you
Starting point is 01:12:15 yeah and there's a lot of screwdrivers and Felix just starts picking one up after another and stabbing them into Drake he stabs them with like seven different screwdrivers. Holy shit. And then he says, just die already. This is hard enough for me.
Starting point is 01:12:34 Okay, Felix. Maybe don't pick a screwdriver. Maybe don't pick his stomach if what you're really going for is a quick death. Yeah, this is hard enough for you, Felix. For you. Jesus. So upstairs we see Z, uh,
Starting point is 01:12:51 Aaron, like, deep in working on these little booby traps, and Z kind of eyeing one of the nail planks, lifts it up like she's maybe gonna hit uh, Aaron in the head with it. And as she raises it and is about to hit Aaron with it, Aaron, like, jumps up to turn around. He's like, I'm gonna go check on their dad. Z, like, sets the plate back
Starting point is 01:13:10 down. She's like, yeah, yeah, good idea. Um, and so Aaron heads upstairs with her meat tenderizer and finds the dad's dead body. And as she's kind of hunched over the dead body, we see Fox Face Man tiptoeing up behind her, creeping behind her. At the last second, she realizes he's there. He's the one with the machete, and she throws the meat tenderizer at him. It doesn't hit him, but it's like enough of a distraction
Starting point is 01:13:44 that she jumps out the window. She just like tucks and jumps out the second story window and like tumbles out like and gets a piece of glass in her leg, but just like jumps up and runs into the woods. Like she's just like fucking on it. Wow. Wow. I'd be so proud to be so proud. wow her dad would be so proud her dad would be so proud um she basically get like ducks for cover by a tree or like sits like hides by a little tree and we get a look at the piece of glass in her leg and it looks like it's small but it like shows her pulling it out and it's so big it just
Starting point is 01:14:22 like gets bigger it's like an iceberg it's like everything is below and so she's pulling it out it looks horrible i one little detail like she has like a little a tiny little flashlight on a keychain and i'm just like of course she has a little flashlight with her um but with her flashlight she sees uh, little food wrappers and stuff right where she is. And she's like, oh, fuck. She looks up. Lamb mask guy with the crossbows pointing it at her. Shoots it.
Starting point is 01:14:53 It hits the tree just above her. She jumps up and runs back into the house. Closes the door behind her. She's back inside. the door behind her she's back inside and she crawls into um of the bathroom grabs like a towel wraps it around her leg makes a little tourniquet and uh the lamb face crossbow guy heads back to the house starts coming in and he's climbing in through a window and he sees the little booby traps that they've made of the nails sticking up out of the plywood and kind of shakes his head like they're not going to get me. And because he sees that one, he doesn't see the one that's even closer. And so he just like hops out of the window right onto the nail, goes right through his foot.
Starting point is 01:15:46 He starts screaming.in can hear him so she knows where he is and upstairs we see felix uh and z with the wolf guy with the machete and felix says can you go check on that i believe this is what i'm paying you for
Starting point is 01:16:01 yeah yeah definitely there are dudes being paid for sure. For sure. And makes a lot of sense. So Wolf Guy looks irritated, but starts heading downstairs. So wait, so there's it's Tiger Guy who's dead. Mm hmm. Lamb Guy who's crossbow.
Starting point is 01:16:20 And then Wolf Guy's machete. Wolf Guy who machete. Yep. OK. OK. Got it. And so Felix and Z are up in this master bedroom as Wolfguy goes downstairs. So they're in the room with his mom's dead body.
Starting point is 01:16:40 And Z like starts straddling Felix says, fuck me next to your dead mom. And he's like, Z, come on. Why would you even say something like, why would you say something like that? And she's like, you never want to do anything fun. And she starts like taking her top off. And he's like, this conversation's over. And it's like supposed to be funny. It is a little funny, but it's a little much too.
Starting point is 01:17:06 Yeah, it's like supposed to be funny it is a little funny but it's a little much too yeah it's a bit much yeah and a little like just deeply unrealistic that they would be together to begin with so downstairs so he like pushes her off and heads downstairs and felix um basically starts yelling at them like this has gotten so out of hand. I just had to kill my own brother. And we see Aaron listening to all this. So Aaron is now clued into what's going on as she hides in the bathroom. And the guy in the lamb mask says, that's my brother pointing to the dead guy in tiger mask. And he's like, and unlike you, I fucking loved my brother.
Starting point is 01:17:46 And so give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you right now. And Felix is like, okay, man. Okay. Like, um, like I'll give you,
Starting point is 01:17:54 I'll pay you double. I'll pay you double. And if I die, you don't get any money. And all of this was for nothing. Cause it's my inheritance. So they, he's like, I'll, you'll get your brother's share too. So. He's like.
Starting point is 01:18:05 You'll get your brother's share too. And basically. You'll both be paid more. And then at this moment. Aaron's phone buzzes. Makes a noise. And it says. Emergency message received.
Starting point is 01:18:20 So that's good news. But they all turn. They all heard it. Fox mask says. i got it and at this point she doesn't have a weapon so she just balls up her fists and we see fox mask coming closer and she just this like second he gets close enough she jumps and punches him right in the throat really hard and just darts and darts out the front door and felix and z start chasing felix and z and um fox or lamb mask start chasing her or no i'm sorry fox mask whoever sorry is fox mask the same as Wolf Mask? Yes. Okay.
Starting point is 01:19:07 That's a good catch, Emily. That's a good catch. Because Tiger Mask is the one who died. But basically have a dog-like creature and a lamb. And a lamb has been stepped on a nail
Starting point is 01:19:22 so his foot's all fucked up. So the three whose feet aren all fucked up. So the three whose feet aren't fucked up run out after her and we see her run out and turn and jump right back in a window
Starting point is 01:19:38 and go right back in the house. So they all run out after her and run into the woods. Oh, she's so fucking smart she's so wait i love this we have not done a we have not done a movie where there is just a fucking competent character like that has not happened it's really great and i love i'm loving every second of this yeah this rules um but because lamb guy was moving slower because of his foot he's like limping out and he kind of gets a little um he sees her he doesn't see her but he just turns and sees looks at the open window
Starting point is 01:20:15 suspiciously and like walks towards it sticks his head in looks to the left looks to the right there she is she stabs him in the fucking eye and he drops and dies she gets the he he's i think the one with the axe she grabs the axe from him and this is where the music changes to like synthy it's like fucking cool music now it's so fun yeah that's great she's now like covered in blood with an axe and she goes back into the basement and she's grabbing more tools more shit she's grabbing a rope she's grabbing a grip a brick where we're like what is this lady doing but she is on a mission she comes back up stairs and goes to the front door and ties this rope around the axe and the brick onto the axe. She's making a booby trap so that when someone opens the front
Starting point is 01:21:08 door, basically it'll hit this little trip wire and they will get axed in the face. Oh no, oh no, oh no. It's gonna be Crispin. Oh no, oh no. Don't let it be Crispin. Oh no. We see Felix, Zee, and
Starting point is 01:21:23 Foxmask guy outside. Felix and z are or felix i guess especially he's like freaking out fox mask guy is like pretty calm and he's like dude you need to calm down like you're you're this is not the situation to like lose your head she's injured she's she's slower than us like we're gonna find her and you guys go that way i'll circle back to the house to check on craig make sure she didn't circle back and um felix says give us your crossbow and he kind of like smirks like you know how to use that he's like yeah you pull the trigger and it shoots a fucking arrow like it's easy. He's like, all right, here you go. Gives them the crossbow.
Starting point is 01:22:08 Keeps he's got his machete still. And we see her back in the house, basically waiting by the door for someone to come in into her booby trap. But he climbs in from in the window next to it. And she basically like shit. And she runs into the basement and on her way she grabs a log from the fireplace and as she gets into the basement some sorry somewhere in here the power is back on so the lights are on and she uses this log to smash all of the lights in the basement. So it's pitch black in the basement and she grabs,
Starting point is 01:22:48 she has a digital camera on her and she sets it up on like auto timer. So it's just continuously taking photos. So there's like a flash, flash, flash, and she hides. So she'll be able to see where he is, but he will not be able to see where he is but he will not be able to see where she is and so we see fox mask come in and he is moving towards the flashing light
Starting point is 01:23:17 which he thinks she is holding but she has just set on a table and as he gets close enough to realize that she jumps out and fucking bashes his head in with a log hell yeah oh my god and she beats him to death with the log she kills him oh no take down the booby trap
Starting point is 01:23:40 take it down take it down take it down and she comes back upstairs and we see outside a pov of felix holding the crossbow aiming it at her so he can see her inside she has a little knife with with her and she kind of senses something from the open window and he shoots and she runs at the moment they can't quite tell if they hit her or not but they they go and they look in and she's not there and they're like fuck like i thought we got her z says give me the crossbow and she starts climbing in felix
Starting point is 01:24:19 is like i'll be in in a second felix goes back out to the car turns off the signal jammer because i guess he thinks this is all about to be over and in a way he's right okay okay and so z is is holding the crossbow looking for aaron and goes enters the kitchen aaron from the side like smacks the crossbow out of her hand gets her into like a headlock z is screaming felix runs in and aaron is like fuck like having to fight two people at once she turns to grab there's like a pot of soup on the stove she dumps that on um uh uh felix and he's like it's not even hot and uh at that point z starts biting uh aaron's hand and so aaron like screams in pain and takes the pot smashes it onto z's head knocks knocks z down z crumples and like falls to the ground in pain and um
Starting point is 01:25:34 then felix jumps at her and stabs aaron in the back with a pretty small knife but stabs her right in the back aaron's screaming in pain and she goes and grabs a blender off of the tape off of the kitchen counter smashes the glass blender over felix's head he stumbles back blood now pouring from his head she flips the blender over no no blades right into the top of his head smashes it in and she fucking plugs it in and turns it on and blends his brains no no and that's it folks that's my favorite kill of all time this is the one and z is just watching and like gagging and her head's bleeding because she just got hit by a fucking stove stovetop pan thing and she's like and aaron is just cold-faced until the light is
Starting point is 01:26:37 completely gone from until he's for sure dead she just keeps that fucking blender on for quite a while oh my god i don't even I can't even really picture that. Like, I can't even my brain won't even let me know what that looks like. And after Z kind of comes back to she starts to get up. Aaron pulls the knife out of her own back and stabs it into the top of Z's head. Again, blood just drips down Z's face. Erin drops
Starting point is 01:27:11 to the ground, now sitting between, we get this like shot of her just sitting between both of them, their bodies, their heads just like fucking pouring blood. She's like, she just fucking did it. That was the last of it. No, like, she just fucking did it. That was the last of it.
Starting point is 01:27:27 No, no, no, no, no. And then Felix's cell phone rings. She grabs it and sees the caller ID says Crispin. She answers it. And Crispin says, Felix, is it done? My signal came back.
Starting point is 01:27:43 Is it over? And she's just silent. Andin says, Felix, is it done? My signal came back. Is it over? And she's just silent. And he says, look, I know you're mad at me. I know I should have helped. But I told you this might happen. Like, when I saw mom, I just couldn't fucking do it. I'm sorry. And she's not answering.
Starting point is 01:28:01 And he's like, okay, I'm coming in. And he walks in and sees she stands up face him in the front door he comes in a different door not the front door oh okay and she's he takes in the absolute bloodbath that has happened in this house and is looking and sees his girlfriend covered in blood holding the cell phone the angriest look on her face uh holding a knife in her hand and he like starts talking to her like oh my god you're okay um i'm so, you're okay. Um, I'm so happy you're okay. And she says like, I can't believe, I can't believe you're in on this. And he's like, I know, like, it's so crazy. And she's like, you, she says like, you were going to, you were going to kill me. And he's
Starting point is 01:28:59 like, no, no, no, no. Yeah. That was like a really important part of the plan is you were supposed to be the witness that didn't have a motive like it was very clear that you were supposed to stay alive we just like I just didn't know that you were gonna kill everybody like that was a really important part of the plan like oh my god like I can't believe you
Starting point is 01:29:16 oh cause he says like where's Felix and she says I stuck a blender into his head and I killed him oh my god and he's like oh my god well obviously we didn't know you were gonna kill everybody but like the silver lining of this is like i'm now the sole inheritor of my family's estate like we're rich you and me like your student loans will be paid off you can quit your job that you hate
Starting point is 01:29:41 and he's like slowly like tiptoeing closer to her like babe this is a good thing like if you like the alternative is that i go to jail and um like this can be good this can be a good thing and like i know you'll be mad for a bit and she just fucking stabs him in the neck yeah yeah he drops to his knees holding his throat and says why why and she says why the fuck not and at that moment a gunshot rings out shoots her in the shoulder we see outside the police have arrived and she drops down falls and the cop is like looking in through the window and is like, holy shit. Seeing all these dead bodies runs out to back to his car calls like we need backup.
Starting point is 01:30:29 We need backup. We see Aaron is not dead. She just got shot in the shoulder. She's like gets up, is like crawling towards the door. And she's like, wait, wait. And he runs back to the house, opens that front door. She reaches out. No, don't.
Starting point is 01:30:45 And we see the knife or the axe come down. And that's the end of the movie. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. That's fucking nuts. Wow. It's fun, right? Okay.
Starting point is 01:31:01 That was really fun. That was really fun. That was really fun. She was super competent until the end when it's like, you got to keep him alive so that people don't think that you were the one who like murdered everyone. Yeah. That was her just letting her anger get the best of her. And I get it. I'd be pretty mad too. I mean, like what happened to them where they needed to kill their whole family?
Starting point is 01:31:26 You know? Sociopaths, I guess. That's fucking nuts. That's wild. I loved hearing about that. It's super fun. I feel like this is, yeah, I've said before. It's one of my favorite types of horror i love home invasion
Starting point is 01:31:47 love just like this kind of non-stop especially when it gets to that point where it's our final girl and we it's just like in that like revenge moment our synth music starts playing it's like fuck yeah time to kill everybody i love it well there's something deeply satisfying about movies like john wick or the equalizer or whatever where there's like a main character who just like you know is gonna like take everyone out in every scene you're just like yeah it just feels good and there aren't really horror movies where that happens where it's like oh they've fucked with the wrong person you know it's true god it really is fun
Starting point is 01:32:32 it's fun to see that happen yeah I love it it's just a yeah very clever premise of just like yeah you didn't realize this girl grew up on a survivalist compound and now in the survivalist compound and now
Starting point is 01:32:47 in the Australian outback and now you're fucked should we take a girls trip where we like learn survivalist skills I'd be into it I bet we could learn it all in one girls trip I bet we could like how to build a fire
