Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:41,650 --> 00:00:43,960
There are so many elements
2
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,440
that make
the perfect horror moment.
3
00:00:46,481 --> 00:00:48,271
I mean, you really have
to get drawn in
4
00:00:48,309 --> 00:00:51,529
by the effectively
creepy atmosphere,
5
00:00:51,573 --> 00:00:54,973
the camera setups, the lighting.
6
00:00:55,011 --> 00:00:57,711
Even silence sometimes plays
its own character,
7
00:00:57,753 --> 00:00:59,363
where you're straining to listen
8
00:00:59,407 --> 00:01:01,017
and you're really getting
sucked into the moment.
9
00:01:01,061 --> 00:01:02,801
And then,
whether it's a jump scare...
10
00:01:04,455 --> 00:01:06,975
Or something that's
almost inaudible and eerie...
11
00:01:07,023 --> 00:01:08,853
And creepy and suspenseful,
12
00:01:08,894 --> 00:01:11,114
I mean, those are the moments
that really shake you
13
00:01:11,158 --> 00:01:13,118
to your core and stay with you
14
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,990
after the film is finished
and you're left in awe
15
00:01:16,032 --> 00:01:18,342
and terror
of what you just witnessed.
16
00:01:22,865 --> 00:01:27,435
"Annihilation" is kind
of a Lovecraft-ian movie
17
00:01:27,478 --> 00:01:29,438
about something called
the shimmer,
18
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,400
which is
this interdimensional force
19
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,140
that's taking over an area
on Earth, and it's spreading.
20
00:01:36,183 --> 00:01:37,713
So they send in
a group of scientists,
21
00:01:37,749 --> 00:01:40,229
who happen to be women,
led by Natalie Portman.
22
00:01:40,274 --> 00:01:41,674
And the shimmer
does strange things.
23
00:01:41,710 --> 00:01:44,630
Once you walk into it...
24
00:01:44,669 --> 00:01:47,979
The shimmer is a prism,
but it refracts everything.
25
00:01:48,020 --> 00:01:51,680
So the DNA of every living
thing in the environment
26
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,160
is refracted
onto everything else.
27
00:01:54,201 --> 00:01:55,991
So it's making a big DNA soup,
28
00:01:56,027 --> 00:01:59,287
and everything
gets merged together.
29
00:01:59,336 --> 00:02:02,506
This movie clearly
has a lot to say
30
00:02:02,557 --> 00:02:04,207
about kind of self-reflection
31
00:02:04,254 --> 00:02:07,044
and how we see ourselves
separate
32
00:02:07,083 --> 00:02:08,743
from the world around us.
33
00:02:08,780 --> 00:02:11,740
But everything
is forgotten about,
34
00:02:11,783 --> 00:02:13,133
all that heady stuff,
35
00:02:13,176 --> 00:02:15,346
as soon as
that damn mutant bear shows up.
36
00:02:16,875 --> 00:02:18,825
What happened?
I heard a noise.
37
00:02:18,877 --> 00:02:21,227
They see this thing,
this massive thing
38
00:02:21,271 --> 00:02:23,801
come out of the darkness
and eat one of the characters.
39
00:02:23,839 --> 00:02:26,489
Aah!
40
00:02:30,541 --> 00:02:32,501
And after that,
one of the characters
41
00:02:32,543 --> 00:02:35,893
completely gets paranoid
and goes kind of crazy.
42
00:02:35,938 --> 00:02:38,108
Ties the other three women up,
43
00:02:38,158 --> 00:02:39,458
determined that she's gonna
44
00:02:39,507 --> 00:02:40,987
try to control the environment.
45
00:02:41,030 --> 00:02:42,510
She needs to find her friend.
46
00:02:42,553 --> 00:02:45,513
And then she starts hearing
cries of her friend.
47
00:02:45,555 --> 00:02:48,595
Help me! Help me!
48
00:02:48,646 --> 00:02:51,256
And the woman who's got
the gun trained on them
49
00:02:51,301 --> 00:02:53,171
goes off to see what's going on,
50
00:02:53,216 --> 00:02:54,956
and you just hear the bear roar.
51
00:02:56,350 --> 00:02:58,090
And you're like, bear's back.
52
00:02:58,134 --> 00:02:59,534
And as an audience member,
53
00:02:59,570 --> 00:03:03,310
you can see
that they cannot turn around
54
00:03:03,357 --> 00:03:04,657
to what is coming.
55
00:03:04,706 --> 00:03:06,966
And all you hear is...
56
00:03:07,012 --> 00:03:09,842
Like, heavy breathing,
and you see the shadow,
57
00:03:09,885 --> 00:03:11,365
the silhouette of a bear.
58
00:03:14,019 --> 00:03:16,459
But what you're not prepared for
59
00:03:16,500 --> 00:03:19,500
is how fucked up that bear is.
60
00:03:19,547 --> 00:03:21,637
And it makes
this weird kind of scream.
61
00:03:25,683 --> 00:03:28,513
And you realize that when
the mutant bear ate her friend,
62
00:03:28,556 --> 00:03:32,516
it kind of got a version
of the friend's voice.
63
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,910
Hey!
64
00:03:35,954 --> 00:03:38,914
Uh-uh. I'm done.
That's it. I'm going to bed.
65
00:03:38,957 --> 00:03:40,737
I can't... I can't. Mm-mm.
66
00:03:40,785 --> 00:03:42,915
Take off my lashes,
and I'll see you tomorrow.
67
00:03:42,961 --> 00:03:44,881
And it was actually shot
pretty dark,
68
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,840
because I've seen some pictures
of what the bear looks like
69
00:03:46,878 --> 00:03:48,788
with a little more light on it,
70
00:03:48,837 --> 00:03:51,797
and, actually, her face
is actually part of it.
71
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,320
Almost like her face
was growing out of it.
72
00:03:54,364 --> 00:03:56,064
Immediately they're like...
73
00:03:56,105 --> 00:03:58,445
Don't react.
74
00:03:58,499 --> 00:04:00,589
'Cause they know
if they react at all,
75
00:04:00,631 --> 00:04:03,371
they're gonna be dead
immediately.
76
00:04:06,594 --> 00:04:08,424
That is a perfect movie moment,
77
00:04:08,465 --> 00:04:11,205
because you know
that they're helpless,
78
00:04:11,251 --> 00:04:13,781
and how are they gonna get out
of this situation?
79
00:04:16,038 --> 00:04:18,298
The one girl comes in
and blows it away,
80
00:04:18,345 --> 00:04:21,435
and then it winds up
tearing her apart.
81
00:04:23,654 --> 00:04:26,004
And they don't cut
the camera, man.
82
00:04:26,048 --> 00:04:28,438
Usually we would say
as filmmakers,
83
00:04:28,485 --> 00:04:30,525
the best way to impact
an audience
84
00:04:30,574 --> 00:04:32,054
is to cut away quick.
85
00:04:32,097 --> 00:04:34,267
Just show a little bit
and cut away quick.
86
00:04:34,317 --> 00:04:36,447
Let the audience imagine it.
87
00:04:36,493 --> 00:04:38,103
Oh, hell, no.
88
00:04:38,147 --> 00:04:39,667
You're gonna watch
this girl die.
89
00:04:46,111 --> 00:04:48,641
Not only that, you're gonna
see how her whole face...
90
00:04:50,159 --> 00:04:52,379
Gets just ripped from her face.
91
00:04:52,422 --> 00:04:55,512
No.
92
00:04:55,556 --> 00:04:57,776
That scene is not long,
93
00:04:57,819 --> 00:04:59,559
and it's really good.
94
00:04:59,603 --> 00:05:02,433
It's a perfect example
of an iconic moment.
95
00:05:02,476 --> 00:05:04,476
It has stuck with me
ever since theaters.
96
00:05:04,521 --> 00:05:07,521
Imagine dying frightened
and in pain
97
00:05:07,568 --> 00:05:12,218
and having that as the only
part of you which survives.
98
00:05:12,268 --> 00:05:14,008
I wouldn't like that at all.
99
00:05:21,625 --> 00:05:25,365
- Cujo. His name's Cujo.
- Cujo?
100
00:05:25,412 --> 00:05:28,372
"Cujo" is, once again,
Stephen King
101
00:05:28,415 --> 00:05:33,065
exploring what if something
that you see every day
102
00:05:33,115 --> 00:05:35,675
in your life
suddenly turned evil?
103
00:05:35,726 --> 00:05:37,766
"Cujo" really gets
under my skin.
104
00:05:37,815 --> 00:05:42,335
You've got this beautiful,
sweet, loveable dog
105
00:05:42,385 --> 00:05:44,735
that's just doing
what dogs are supposed to do...
106
00:05:44,779 --> 00:05:46,259
chase a rabbit.
107
00:05:46,302 --> 00:05:47,652
That's what a dog does.
It chases a rabbit.
108
00:05:49,957 --> 00:05:52,397
To get bit by a bat...
109
00:05:52,439 --> 00:05:54,089
And get rabies,
110
00:05:54,136 --> 00:05:58,746
and then to turn like that,
it's heartbreaking.
111
00:05:58,793 --> 00:06:01,063
Stephen King knows
what scares us,
112
00:06:01,099 --> 00:06:02,579
and what scares us is the thing
113
00:06:02,623 --> 00:06:04,843
that sits next to us every day
114
00:06:04,886 --> 00:06:07,446
and we forget to look at it
115
00:06:07,497 --> 00:06:09,587
as the threat
that it actually is.
116
00:06:09,630 --> 00:06:11,070
Cujo!
117
00:06:12,937 --> 00:06:15,417
Cujo!
118
00:06:15,462 --> 00:06:17,552
Okay, strap in.
119
00:06:17,594 --> 00:06:20,684
The second half of "Cujo"
revolves around this woman
120
00:06:20,728 --> 00:06:22,858
and her son in this car
that doesn't work.
121
00:06:22,904 --> 00:06:25,124
Oh, my goodness...
122
00:06:25,167 --> 00:06:27,387
Her son and her go up
to fix her car,
123
00:06:27,430 --> 00:06:29,690
at the local mechanic,
Joe Camber,
124
00:06:29,737 --> 00:06:31,777
who is already dead.
125
00:06:31,826 --> 00:06:33,866
Cujo the rabid dog
has killed him.
126
00:06:33,915 --> 00:06:35,525
No, no, no!
127
00:06:35,569 --> 00:06:37,349
So the Pinto pulls up.
128
00:06:37,397 --> 00:06:39,527
There's, like, that POV shot
of, like, Cujo in the barn.
129
00:06:39,573 --> 00:06:42,013
We know he's there.
130
00:06:42,053 --> 00:06:46,453
And we see how far the car
is away from other structures
131
00:06:46,493 --> 00:06:48,503
of safety...
The house and the barn.
132
00:06:48,538 --> 00:06:51,148
Then they cut to this tracking
shot behind Dee Wallace,
133
00:06:51,193 --> 00:06:53,203
and now we get this 360,
134
00:06:53,238 --> 00:06:55,148
and we really see, like,
it's just in the middle
135
00:06:55,197 --> 00:06:56,937
of this large space,
136
00:06:56,981 --> 00:06:58,901
and it ends with, like, the barn
137
00:06:58,940 --> 00:07:00,550
behind Dee Wallace, right?
138
00:07:00,594 --> 00:07:02,474
And she's gotten out of the car.
139
00:07:02,509 --> 00:07:04,209
She starts to unbuckle Tad.
140
00:07:04,249 --> 00:07:05,899
The seat belt is jammed.
141
00:07:05,947 --> 00:07:08,247
And we have this tracking shot
go up to her.
142
00:07:08,297 --> 00:07:09,557
Damn this car.
143
00:07:09,603 --> 00:07:11,823
You pull while I push.
144
00:07:11,866 --> 00:07:15,086
And we think, you know,
where Cujo's coming up.
145
00:07:15,130 --> 00:07:17,480
Oh, I can't get it. Pull.
146
00:07:20,091 --> 00:07:23,271
They first look at Cujo
with shock.
147
00:07:23,312 --> 00:07:24,792
She's rolling up the window.
148
00:07:30,362 --> 00:07:32,802
Cujo runs around.
She's in there.
149
00:07:34,715 --> 00:07:35,885
And then he goes away.
150
00:07:37,805 --> 00:07:40,105
And then there's, like,
the greatest line in the world.
151
00:07:40,155 --> 00:07:42,635
"How did the monster get out
of my closet?"
152
00:07:42,679 --> 00:07:45,729
How did the monster get out
of my closet?
153
00:07:45,769 --> 00:07:47,159
Oh, you're like, "Ugh."
154
00:07:47,205 --> 00:07:48,945
And then she just says,
"It's just a doggy."
155
00:07:48,990 --> 00:07:50,430
And bam!
156
00:07:50,470 --> 00:07:51,860
Cujo crashing the windshield,
157
00:07:51,906 --> 00:07:53,296
and there's this amazing
reaction shot
158
00:07:53,342 --> 00:07:54,522
of him just like, "Ah!"
159
00:07:56,737 --> 00:07:57,997
And now it's set up.
160
00:07:58,042 --> 00:08:00,442
This incredible scenario
is set up
161
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,830
where they're trapped
and the car doesn't work.
162
00:08:02,873 --> 00:08:04,443
Damn you! Come on!
163
00:08:04,484 --> 00:08:06,624
And her husband's away.
164
00:08:06,660 --> 00:08:09,230
You're running out of water.
And Joe Camber is dead.
165
00:08:09,271 --> 00:08:10,361
No, no!
166
00:08:10,402 --> 00:08:11,882
And the dog is not gonna stop.
167
00:08:13,231 --> 00:08:14,931
And you're in a Pinto.
168
00:08:14,972 --> 00:08:17,112
What are you gonna do?
169
00:08:22,502 --> 00:08:25,852
The premise of "The Fly"
is scientist Jeff Goldblum
170
00:08:25,896 --> 00:08:28,546
is experimenting in a telepod
171
00:08:28,595 --> 00:08:31,285
to transport
from one telepod to another.
172
00:08:31,336 --> 00:08:33,856
A fly gets inside,
173
00:08:33,904 --> 00:08:36,564
and during the transition,
174
00:08:36,602 --> 00:08:40,522
their DNA becomes mixed.
175
00:08:40,563 --> 00:08:43,783
So Goldblum's character
gradually starts
176
00:08:43,827 --> 00:08:46,307
to become more
and more part-fly.
177
00:08:46,351 --> 00:08:48,621
You know, I just don't think
I've ever given me
178
00:08:48,658 --> 00:08:49,788
a chance to be me.
179
00:08:49,833 --> 00:08:51,533
Do you normally take coffee
180
00:08:51,574 --> 00:08:53,454
with your sugar?
- What?
181
00:08:53,489 --> 00:08:55,399
There's a lot to be said
about casting in "The Fly."
182
00:08:55,447 --> 00:08:58,277
Jeff Goldblum
is a charismatic leading man...
183
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,100
I've come here to say
one magic word to you.
184
00:09:00,148 --> 00:09:01,578
Yeah?
185
00:09:01,628 --> 00:09:03,238
Cheeseburger.
186
00:09:03,281 --> 00:09:06,111
Who is, like, sweet and
maybe a little bit of a rake,
187
00:09:06,154 --> 00:09:09,944
but it's happening to somebody
who we maybe like.
188
00:09:11,899 --> 00:09:13,859
The arm wrestling scene
in "The Fly"
189
00:09:13,901 --> 00:09:16,081
is completely unexpected.
190
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,860
That particular scene
is a revenge fantasy
191
00:09:19,907 --> 00:09:21,427
for every science nerd
192
00:09:21,473 --> 00:09:24,133
that's been beaned
with a dodgeball in PE,
193
00:09:24,172 --> 00:09:26,782
where Jeff Goldblum goes
into this bar
194
00:09:26,827 --> 00:09:28,477
and throws down a challenge.
195
00:09:28,524 --> 00:09:30,664
I got 100 bucks says
I can beat either one of you.
196
00:09:30,700 --> 00:09:33,140
And I get to take the lady home
for the night if I win.
197
00:09:33,181 --> 00:09:34,841
Says who?
198
00:09:34,878 --> 00:09:36,488
I don't think it ages very well,
199
00:09:36,532 --> 00:09:39,062
because Seth implies
that she's a prostitute.
200
00:09:39,100 --> 00:09:42,150
Do I look like a hooker to you?
201
00:09:42,190 --> 00:09:45,540
It's hand-to-hand,
arm wrestling on the table.
202
00:09:45,585 --> 00:09:46,755
Pushing, pushing, pushing.
203
00:09:49,327 --> 00:09:51,367
The close-up
of him gripping the hand,
204
00:09:51,415 --> 00:09:54,115
and that kind of insect,
milky goo
205
00:09:54,158 --> 00:09:55,988
is coming out of his fingertips,
206
00:09:56,030 --> 00:10:00,210
and you know he's just
sticking to that guy's arm.
207
00:10:00,251 --> 00:10:02,121
You don't know how far
208
00:10:02,166 --> 00:10:03,856
Cronenberg is going to take you,
209
00:10:03,907 --> 00:10:06,647
but it's farther
than you expect.
210
00:10:08,564 --> 00:10:10,964
And it's just a quick moment,
and it's unexpected,
211
00:10:11,001 --> 00:10:12,661
and it's almost a jump scare
in its own way.
212
00:10:12,699 --> 00:10:14,789
And you just can't unsee it.
213
00:10:14,831 --> 00:10:17,491
You just want to go back
and see, how was that done?
214
00:10:17,529 --> 00:10:21,619
The great sound effect,
a fantastic prosthetic effect.
215
00:10:21,664 --> 00:10:23,494
And even when
you know it's coming,
216
00:10:23,535 --> 00:10:25,575
it's like the tick, tick,
tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
217
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:27,365
of a roller coaster.
218
00:10:27,409 --> 00:10:29,189
And you're like, "Oh, God.
Oh, no. Oh, no.
219
00:10:29,237 --> 00:10:30,327
Ah!"
220
00:10:30,368 --> 00:10:32,108
And that, to me, is just...
221
00:10:32,153 --> 00:10:35,723
that's like pure delicious,
like, truffles of horror...
222
00:10:35,765 --> 00:10:37,505
those little nuggets
that you can go back to
223
00:10:37,549 --> 00:10:39,159
again and again and again.
224
00:10:46,384 --> 00:10:49,214
"The Wicker Man"
is a very unique film.
225
00:10:49,257 --> 00:10:50,777
The premise of the movie
226
00:10:50,824 --> 00:10:53,444
is that a police officer
is coming to this island
227
00:10:53,478 --> 00:10:57,738
called Summerisle
to investigate a missing girl.
228
00:10:57,787 --> 00:10:59,697
And he comes to find out
that the island is basically...
229
00:10:59,746 --> 00:11:01,356
just pagans are living there,
230
00:11:01,399 --> 00:11:03,309
and they live
by kind of a different code
231
00:11:03,358 --> 00:11:05,188
than what he's used to
in the mainland.
232
00:11:05,229 --> 00:11:07,229
Will you tell us
what it is, please,
233
00:11:07,275 --> 00:11:09,705
- that the maypole represents?
- Phallic symbol.
234
00:11:09,756 --> 00:11:13,186
The phallic symbol,
that is correct.
235
00:11:13,237 --> 00:11:15,407
And he's
a very religious person.
236
00:11:15,457 --> 00:11:16,807
Edward Woodward described
his character
237
00:11:16,850 --> 00:11:18,030
as a religious zealot.
238
00:11:18,068 --> 00:11:20,288
- They are naked.
- Naturally.
239
00:11:20,331 --> 00:11:21,811
It's much too dangerous
to jump through the fire
240
00:11:21,855 --> 00:11:23,195
with your clothes on.
241
00:11:23,247 --> 00:11:24,987
The final scene of the movie
242
00:11:25,032 --> 00:11:27,162
is really just the zenith
of "Wicker Man."
243
00:11:27,208 --> 00:11:29,248
It is where everything
comes together.
244
00:11:32,779 --> 00:11:34,429
If at this point
in the documentary
245
00:11:34,476 --> 00:11:35,426
you haven't seen
"The Wicker Man"...
246
00:11:35,477 --> 00:11:36,477
Goodbye.
247
00:11:36,521 --> 00:11:37,871
Go and watch the original
248
00:11:37,914 --> 00:11:39,664
'cause I don't really want
to ruin the ending,
249
00:11:39,699 --> 00:11:41,569
but I have to talk about it.
250
00:11:43,006 --> 00:11:45,566
This year,
at the procession's end,
251
00:11:45,617 --> 00:11:47,747
a holy sacrifice
will be offered up
252
00:11:47,794 --> 00:11:49,674
to quicken the growth
of our crops.
253
00:11:49,709 --> 00:11:51,189
As it becomes clear,
254
00:11:51,232 --> 00:11:54,502
each year they do
a pagan virgin sacrifice.
255
00:11:54,539 --> 00:11:57,149
A little child is not nearly
as effective
256
00:11:57,194 --> 00:11:59,334
as the right kind of adult.
257
00:11:59,370 --> 00:12:01,550
What do you mean...
258
00:12:01,590 --> 00:12:03,420
"right kind of adult"?
259
00:12:07,248 --> 00:12:08,768
One of the twists
of "The Wicker Man"
260
00:12:08,815 --> 00:12:10,765
is that Edward Woodward
is the virgin.
261
00:12:10,817 --> 00:12:12,427
It's nothing personal,
262
00:12:12,470 --> 00:12:15,520
just that I don't believe
in it...
263
00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:16,910
before marriage.
264
00:12:16,953 --> 00:12:18,743
And he is gonna become
the sacrifice.
265
00:12:18,781 --> 00:12:20,611
Oh, God!
266
00:12:20,652 --> 00:12:23,312
Oh, Jesus Christ!
267
00:12:23,351 --> 00:12:26,141
Our hero is gonna end
the film being burned alive
268
00:12:26,180 --> 00:12:28,440
within the wicker man.
269
00:12:28,486 --> 00:12:32,316
What's really memorable
about the ending to me
270
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,580
is the people of Summerisle
see the ending as a triumph.
271
00:12:38,627 --> 00:12:40,317
Because they have succeeded,
272
00:12:40,368 --> 00:12:42,458
they're having their ritual,
273
00:12:42,500 --> 00:12:45,500
and a virgin is being
sacrificed to the gods.
274
00:12:45,547 --> 00:12:48,327
So, as Edward Woodward
is being burned alive,
275
00:12:48,376 --> 00:12:51,156
everybody else around him
is joyous
276
00:12:51,205 --> 00:12:54,155
and happy and triumphant.
277
00:12:54,208 --> 00:12:56,168
The movie brings up a lot
of interesting questions
278
00:12:56,210 --> 00:12:58,690
about religious fervor...
279
00:12:58,734 --> 00:13:01,484
if we think that we are
so righteous
280
00:13:01,519 --> 00:13:04,479
in what we're doing
that nothing can touch us,
281
00:13:04,522 --> 00:13:08,052
It's an extremely
emotional movie for people
282
00:13:08,091 --> 00:13:10,271
because of the way it ends
283
00:13:10,311 --> 00:13:12,971
and that you're asked
to take sides
284
00:13:13,009 --> 00:13:16,359
with different groups of people
who you sometimes decide
285
00:13:16,404 --> 00:13:19,714
that maybe that's not who you
want to be on that side at all.
286
00:13:19,755 --> 00:13:22,625
The film feels like
it exists by some miracle,
287
00:13:22,671 --> 00:13:24,671
that it probably
shouldn't have existed.
288
00:13:24,716 --> 00:13:27,106
It's even something
about the end shot of the movie
289
00:13:27,154 --> 00:13:29,594
that feels like one of those...
290
00:13:29,634 --> 00:13:31,164
there was only one take of it.
291
00:13:31,201 --> 00:13:33,941
It's when the head
finally crumbles
292
00:13:33,987 --> 00:13:35,507
and the sun is right behind it
293
00:13:35,553 --> 00:13:37,033
and the camera zooms
into the sun.
294
00:13:37,077 --> 00:13:38,857
And you're thinking,
295
00:13:38,905 --> 00:13:41,385
"There was only one take of
that shot, and they got it."
296
00:13:52,701 --> 00:13:55,011
"Nosferatu" was made
297
00:13:55,051 --> 00:13:59,401
by a group of mostly gay
and Jewish intellectuals
298
00:13:59,447 --> 00:14:00,877
about the pandemic
299
00:14:00,927 --> 00:14:02,747
that they had just been
through in Europe
300
00:14:02,798 --> 00:14:04,838
and the mood
of the country at that time.
301
00:14:04,887 --> 00:14:06,407
It's about many, many things.
302
00:14:06,454 --> 00:14:08,244
It has many, many layers
of meaning.
303
00:14:08,282 --> 00:14:11,372
But, of course,
it wouldn't be watched today
304
00:14:11,415 --> 00:14:13,895
if it weren't for
the performance of Max Schreck
305
00:14:13,940 --> 00:14:16,380
as Count Orlok.
306
00:14:16,420 --> 00:14:18,250
He comes close to being
an insect.
307
00:14:18,292 --> 00:14:19,902
He moves like an insect.
308
00:14:19,946 --> 00:14:22,076
The way Orlok walks,
309
00:14:22,122 --> 00:14:26,042
the way Orlok looks
at other people.
310
00:14:26,082 --> 00:14:29,132
There's no world in which
the beautiful girl
311
00:14:29,172 --> 00:14:32,092
is going to fall in love
with that particular Dracula.
312
00:14:32,132 --> 00:14:35,052
This Dracula is a predator
and a stalker.
313
00:14:36,876 --> 00:14:39,966
Just the most graphic
representation of evil
314
00:14:40,009 --> 00:14:43,839
that had been created
up until that time.
315
00:14:43,883 --> 00:14:47,503
"Nosferatu's" influence
on horror cinema
316
00:14:47,538 --> 00:14:49,238
is undeniable.
317
00:14:49,279 --> 00:14:51,929
There are scares
that are so iconic,
318
00:14:51,978 --> 00:14:53,588
not to mention
that people at that time
319
00:14:53,631 --> 00:14:54,811
were still scared
320
00:14:54,850 --> 00:14:56,770
of actual moving pictures
in general.
321
00:14:56,808 --> 00:14:58,808
Just the fact
that there was a movie
322
00:14:58,854 --> 00:14:59,994
was terrifying.
323
00:15:02,423 --> 00:15:05,773
And so we'd get our very first
kind of tension scares...
324
00:15:07,515 --> 00:15:09,075
Where you know
something's about to happen,
325
00:15:09,125 --> 00:15:11,605
and you don't know what it is...
326
00:15:11,649 --> 00:15:13,999
and our very first jump scares.
327
00:15:15,653 --> 00:15:18,183
But most iconic is the shadow
of the count
328
00:15:18,221 --> 00:15:20,441
climbing up the wall.
329
00:15:20,484 --> 00:15:22,314
Part of it is the starkness...
330
00:15:22,356 --> 00:15:24,966
the perfect lines
between shadow and light
331
00:15:25,011 --> 00:15:27,841
that draw the audience's eye
332
00:15:27,883 --> 00:15:30,233
and get the audience to start
asking the question
333
00:15:30,277 --> 00:15:32,277
about what is the relationship
between darkness and light
334
00:15:32,322 --> 00:15:33,632
and humanity.
335
00:15:35,717 --> 00:15:38,717
There are images that just
shock you in that movie.
336
00:15:38,763 --> 00:15:40,333
The way he hovers
over other people,
337
00:15:40,374 --> 00:15:42,164
the way he looks at the camera...
338
00:15:42,202 --> 00:15:44,552
all of these things
just chill you to the bone.
339
00:15:49,513 --> 00:15:51,523
I had this dream
the other night.
340
00:15:53,865 --> 00:15:57,165
It was our house but not.
341
00:15:57,217 --> 00:15:59,477
It was backwards.
342
00:16:01,047 --> 00:16:03,347
So "The Night House"
is a ghost story.
343
00:16:03,397 --> 00:16:07,047
Rebecca Hall plays a woman
whose husband has died.
344
00:16:07,096 --> 00:16:09,226
So that is the husband.
345
00:16:09,272 --> 00:16:10,802
He's committed suicide,
346
00:16:10,839 --> 00:16:12,799
and she doesn't really
quite know why.
347
00:16:12,841 --> 00:16:14,761
And she's very tormented by it.
348
00:16:14,799 --> 00:16:16,239
She thinks her husband might
have been cheating on her
349
00:16:16,279 --> 00:16:17,799
because he was meeting
these other women
350
00:16:17,846 --> 00:16:19,016
who looked like her.
351
00:16:22,894 --> 00:16:24,294
Not only is there something
352
00:16:24,331 --> 00:16:26,591
possibly supernatural here
going on...
353
00:16:28,726 --> 00:16:30,686
But it's compounded
by what you're discovering
354
00:16:30,728 --> 00:16:32,508
about a person
you thought you knew,
355
00:16:32,556 --> 00:16:36,036
which is really
emotionally distressing.
356
00:16:36,082 --> 00:16:38,822
"The Night House" will make
you think you're seeing
357
00:16:38,867 --> 00:16:40,037
one thing happening.
358
00:16:40,086 --> 00:16:41,166
Hey!
359
00:16:43,567 --> 00:16:46,437
But nothing is as it appears.
360
00:16:46,483 --> 00:16:47,833
I didn't sleep with him.
361
00:16:47,876 --> 00:16:50,616
Honestly, I barely knew him.
362
00:16:50,661 --> 00:16:52,791
But then she finds
across the lake,
363
00:16:52,837 --> 00:16:54,357
there's another house
that's just like hers
364
00:16:54,404 --> 00:16:57,064
under construction...
Like a doppelganger house.
365
00:17:00,497 --> 00:17:03,017
There's something that feels
really occult about it,
366
00:17:03,065 --> 00:17:05,065
about this other home
that is in reverse.
367
00:17:07,461 --> 00:17:09,071
And dark things
are happening there.
368
00:17:14,468 --> 00:17:17,118
And she figures out
that under the floorboards...
369
00:17:17,165 --> 00:17:19,425
are all these bodies.
370
00:17:19,473 --> 00:17:21,783
They're, like, not skeletons
in the closet anymore.
371
00:17:21,823 --> 00:17:24,873
They are literal skeletons
in a house
372
00:17:24,913 --> 00:17:27,833
that was built to resemble
the house that you lived in.
373
00:17:27,872 --> 00:17:30,442
Like, this is, like, something
that could've been you
374
00:17:30,484 --> 00:17:32,234
if any number of things
would've been different.
375
00:17:32,268 --> 00:17:33,618
As it turns out,
376
00:17:33,661 --> 00:17:35,321
her whole life she's
been hunted by this demon
377
00:17:35,358 --> 00:17:37,188
that has sort of
locked on to her.
378
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,100
And her husband has been
trying to thwart it
379
00:17:40,146 --> 00:17:41,276
by finding women
who look like her
380
00:17:41,321 --> 00:17:42,711
and killing them
381
00:17:42,757 --> 00:17:44,847
as sacrifice
to this demon thing.
382
00:17:44,889 --> 00:17:46,979
I think there's something
really special
383
00:17:47,022 --> 00:17:49,242
about actors like Rebecca Hall
384
00:17:49,285 --> 00:17:51,235
who take on a film like this
385
00:17:51,287 --> 00:17:52,897
where they know
they're gonna have to go
386
00:17:52,941 --> 00:17:54,731
into the dark places.
387
00:17:54,769 --> 00:17:56,809
She commits to a character,
388
00:17:56,858 --> 00:17:59,508
delivers a performance
that breaks your heart,
389
00:17:59,556 --> 00:18:01,856
scares the shit out of you...
390
00:18:01,906 --> 00:18:03,946
and rips your guts out.
391
00:18:10,611 --> 00:18:12,311
"Aliens" is
a fascinating follow-up
392
00:18:12,352 --> 00:18:14,792
to 1979's "Alien."
393
00:18:14,832 --> 00:18:16,752
Ripley becomes
an even greater hero
394
00:18:16,791 --> 00:18:18,841
in this storyline
because we see her,
395
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,190
not only saving herself
once again,
396
00:18:21,230 --> 00:18:23,190
but being willing to go back
and make sure
397
00:18:23,232 --> 00:18:25,152
that nobody else has to go
through it again.
398
00:18:25,191 --> 00:18:29,061
And particularly
when she finds Newt,
399
00:18:29,108 --> 00:18:33,418
we get to see Ripley evolve
into mother mode.
400
00:18:33,460 --> 00:18:35,070
Uh-oh.
401
00:18:35,114 --> 00:18:36,724
I made a clean spot here.
402
00:18:36,767 --> 00:18:38,417
Guess I'll have to do
the whole thing.
403
00:18:38,465 --> 00:18:40,075
One of the best scene
of "Aliens"
404
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,469
is the infirmary scene.
405
00:18:41,511 --> 00:18:43,911
Ripley and Newt
are in the infirmary,
406
00:18:43,948 --> 00:18:45,078
and they're sleeping,
407
00:18:45,124 --> 00:18:46,864
and they're trying
to get some rest,
408
00:18:46,908 --> 00:18:49,038
and they think they're safe,
but all of a sudden,
409
00:18:49,084 --> 00:18:51,614
Ripley hears something.
410
00:18:51,652 --> 00:18:53,182
How scary something can be
411
00:18:53,219 --> 00:18:57,139
usually depends
on who is under threat.
412
00:18:57,179 --> 00:18:59,269
Usually the more helpless
and younger they are,
413
00:18:59,312 --> 00:19:00,532
the scarier it gets,
414
00:19:00,574 --> 00:19:02,624
and that's why horror movies
with kids
415
00:19:02,663 --> 00:19:03,973
can be terrifying.
416
00:19:04,012 --> 00:19:05,452
Wake up.
417
00:19:05,492 --> 00:19:06,622
- What?
- Be quiet.
418
00:19:06,667 --> 00:19:08,757
Then there's this amazing shot
419
00:19:08,799 --> 00:19:11,539
where the whole camera booms up
420
00:19:11,585 --> 00:19:13,145
to the top of the bunk bed
421
00:19:13,195 --> 00:19:15,495
as Ripley's hand reaches up
422
00:19:15,545 --> 00:19:18,025
in a very facehugger-like way.
423
00:19:18,069 --> 00:19:20,249
And only after we see her hand
moving around a bit
424
00:19:20,289 --> 00:19:21,989
does her head pop up.
425
00:19:23,466 --> 00:19:25,426
And then immediately
this thing lunges at her.
426
00:19:25,468 --> 00:19:28,208
It's a really cool shot and
a really beautiful jump scare.
427
00:19:29,777 --> 00:19:32,997
Ripley and Newt immediately
go into smart mode
428
00:19:33,041 --> 00:19:34,911
of, we are trapped
in the infirmary
429
00:19:34,956 --> 00:19:37,476
with a facehugger...
what do we need to do?"
430
00:19:37,524 --> 00:19:40,314
First thing that she tries
to do is bang on the glass.
431
00:19:40,353 --> 00:19:41,793
But it's soundproof.
- Hey!
432
00:19:44,357 --> 00:19:46,357
So then she turns
to the security cameras.
433
00:19:46,402 --> 00:19:47,882
Hicks!
434
00:19:47,925 --> 00:19:49,925
No one sees her
because some asshole
435
00:19:49,971 --> 00:19:51,971
on the other side
turns them off.
436
00:19:52,016 --> 00:19:54,316
Paul Reiser is the true
bad guy of the movie.
437
00:19:54,367 --> 00:19:55,717
What's human and what's not
438
00:19:55,759 --> 00:19:58,329
has always been
the driving theme of horror.
439
00:19:58,371 --> 00:20:00,501
And that moment when Paul Reiser
440
00:20:00,547 --> 00:20:03,327
turns that screen off,
that's the most inhuman thing
441
00:20:03,376 --> 00:20:04,726
you can see in the whole movie,
442
00:20:04,768 --> 00:20:06,068
like, because who would do
something like that?
443
00:20:06,117 --> 00:20:09,507
- Help us!
- Break the glass!
444
00:20:09,556 --> 00:20:11,816
So then she's taking a chair...
445
00:20:11,862 --> 00:20:13,392
trying to break the glass.
446
00:20:15,910 --> 00:20:18,260
And then you see her processing
447
00:20:18,304 --> 00:20:21,264
the environment and the horror
in real time,
448
00:20:21,307 --> 00:20:23,607
and making smart,
informed decisions
449
00:20:23,657 --> 00:20:25,397
about how to best deal with it,
450
00:20:25,441 --> 00:20:27,971
as she looks around...
- Stay here.
451
00:20:28,009 --> 00:20:33,799
Grabs a lighter, and sticks
it under the sprinkler system.
452
00:20:35,190 --> 00:20:36,280
Man, Ripley was it.
453
00:20:39,325 --> 00:20:40,935
It was so freakish
because you'd never seen
454
00:20:40,978 --> 00:20:42,718
those things moving.
455
00:20:42,763 --> 00:20:44,463
The first movie,
you've seen it leap
456
00:20:44,504 --> 00:20:45,984
from the egg, and that's it.
457
00:20:48,682 --> 00:20:51,252
So it was quite a shocker
to see them walking
458
00:20:51,293 --> 00:20:53,563
like this thing on the floor.
459
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,080
James Cameron
did all these tricks.
460
00:20:56,124 --> 00:20:57,734
Like, they had one
that was just a puppet
461
00:20:57,778 --> 00:20:59,998
that you can see rolling
really fast on the floor.
462
00:21:00,041 --> 00:21:02,091
Then he had the puppets
that wouldn't do anything,
463
00:21:02,130 --> 00:21:03,960
but with a bunch
of reverse photography,
464
00:21:04,001 --> 00:21:07,271
he managed to make them jump
and grab the neck.
465
00:21:07,309 --> 00:21:10,139
It's a beautiful scene
to watch frame by frame...
466
00:21:10,181 --> 00:21:12,881
to see how they changed
from the puppet
467
00:21:12,923 --> 00:21:14,533
to the reverse photography
468
00:21:14,577 --> 00:21:16,407
for all the leaps at camera.
469
00:21:17,841 --> 00:21:21,541
Because it's Newt and Ripley
470
00:21:21,584 --> 00:21:23,374
versus their first threat
together,
471
00:21:23,412 --> 00:21:26,852
it has a level of emotion
472
00:21:26,894 --> 00:21:30,034
the movie didn't necessarily
need earlier
473
00:21:30,071 --> 00:21:33,941
but needed to evolve into
at this point of the story.
474
00:21:33,988 --> 00:21:35,688
And, of course, that sets up
the confrontation
475
00:21:35,729 --> 00:21:37,429
with the alien queen,
476
00:21:37,470 --> 00:21:41,210
where you have one mother queen
versus another mother queen
477
00:21:41,256 --> 00:21:44,036
who are battling wits and savvy
478
00:21:44,085 --> 00:21:45,905
over the lives
of their children,
479
00:21:45,956 --> 00:21:48,256
adopted or biological.
480
00:21:48,307 --> 00:21:50,657
Get away from her, you bitch.
481
00:21:57,228 --> 00:22:01,058
Mum!
482
00:22:01,102 --> 00:22:03,152
I had the dream again.
483
00:22:03,191 --> 00:22:05,851
"The Babadook"...
484
00:22:05,889 --> 00:22:07,199
Mummy!
485
00:22:07,238 --> 00:22:08,718
Just the human part of the story
486
00:22:08,762 --> 00:22:10,812
is a single mother
with a horrific struggle...
487
00:22:10,851 --> 00:22:12,641
Mummy! Mummy!
488
00:22:12,679 --> 00:22:15,159
To try to raise
a very troubled child.
489
00:22:15,203 --> 00:22:17,513
Why can't you just be normal?
490
00:22:19,294 --> 00:22:21,344
You don't want to say
that ever to a child,
491
00:22:21,383 --> 00:22:23,783
but that's what sometimes
parents are thinking.
492
00:22:23,820 --> 00:22:25,650
And when you understand
that her husband died
493
00:22:25,692 --> 00:22:27,432
the day her son was born...
494
00:22:27,476 --> 00:22:30,386
- My dad's in the cemetery.
- Oh, that's...
495
00:22:30,436 --> 00:22:32,176
He got killed driving Mum
496
00:22:32,220 --> 00:22:34,350
to the hospital to have me.
- Samuel.
497
00:22:34,396 --> 00:22:35,916
It makes perfect sense
498
00:22:35,963 --> 00:22:38,793
that she can't celebrate
this child's birthday.
499
00:22:38,835 --> 00:22:40,965
She's still locked in her grief.
500
00:22:41,011 --> 00:22:44,281
He is locked in her grief
with her.
501
00:22:44,319 --> 00:22:46,929
I can't stand
being around your son.
502
00:22:46,974 --> 00:22:48,764
I can't believe
you just said that.
503
00:22:48,802 --> 00:22:51,282
You can't stand
being around him yourself.
504
00:22:51,326 --> 00:22:55,106
That by itself could be
enough of a horror story
505
00:22:55,156 --> 00:22:57,806
just as a drama to keep you
on the edge of your seat.
506
00:22:57,854 --> 00:23:00,814
But then you have this creature.
507
00:23:00,857 --> 00:23:02,247
So you've got this book.
508
00:23:02,293 --> 00:23:04,033
It's a children's picture
pop-up book
509
00:23:04,078 --> 00:23:05,948
about the monster.
510
00:23:05,993 --> 00:23:09,693
"A rumbling sound,
then three sharp knocks.
511
00:23:09,736 --> 00:23:11,956
That's when you'll know
he's around."
512
00:23:11,999 --> 00:23:13,959
And that's scary,
because as a viewer,
513
00:23:14,001 --> 00:23:15,441
it takes you back
to when you were a kid
514
00:23:15,481 --> 00:23:17,351
reading scary books.
515
00:23:17,396 --> 00:23:19,006
And you can't get rid
of the book.
516
00:23:24,925 --> 00:23:27,055
The style of the way
the movie is filmed
517
00:23:27,101 --> 00:23:30,411
is like
a children's horror book.
518
00:23:34,587 --> 00:23:36,017
The sound design...
519
00:23:36,066 --> 00:23:39,286
that little chittering sound
this creature makes,
520
00:23:39,330 --> 00:23:41,990
even before you can see it,
it's scary.
521
00:23:42,029 --> 00:23:45,729
Babadook.
522
00:23:49,253 --> 00:23:53,523
The first time we see
that creature really animate,
523
00:23:53,562 --> 00:23:56,442
it's beautiful,
but it's frickin' horrifying.
524
00:23:56,478 --> 00:23:57,998
And the appearance,
525
00:23:58,045 --> 00:24:00,605
it's kind of like that tall man
526
00:24:00,656 --> 00:24:02,876
in "It Follows."
527
00:24:02,919 --> 00:24:05,399
It's taller
than you expect it to be.
528
00:24:05,444 --> 00:24:06,924
I mean, it is kind of stylish
529
00:24:06,967 --> 00:24:08,747
wearing that top hat
and everything,
530
00:24:08,795 --> 00:24:10,745
and it's not gonna leave
them alone.
531
00:24:10,797 --> 00:24:13,887
I'll make sure nothing
gets in tonight.
532
00:24:13,930 --> 00:24:15,800
All right, Samuel?
533
00:24:15,845 --> 00:24:17,755
Nothing!
534
00:24:17,804 --> 00:24:20,594
The Babadook is haunting her,
535
00:24:20,633 --> 00:24:23,113
but it's also
kind of this extension
536
00:24:23,157 --> 00:24:24,807
of her own mania...
537
00:24:27,074 --> 00:24:29,864
That she wants to protect
her kid from.
538
00:24:32,906 --> 00:24:35,296
Unless the film is
about a deranged parent,
539
00:24:35,343 --> 00:24:37,393
unless we're watching
"The Stepfather,"
540
00:24:37,432 --> 00:24:39,522
unless we're watching
"Mommie Dearest,"
541
00:24:39,565 --> 00:24:42,785
generally,
the parent is reliable.
542
00:24:42,829 --> 00:24:44,789
Even if they don't believe
the kid,
543
00:24:44,831 --> 00:24:46,831
even if they don't understand
the kid...
544
00:24:46,876 --> 00:24:48,046
Mum?
545
00:24:48,095 --> 00:24:49,915
And when the mom
546
00:24:49,966 --> 00:24:52,876
starts feeling
like she could be unreliable
547
00:24:52,926 --> 00:24:54,836
or there's hints and glints
of something else
548
00:24:54,884 --> 00:24:56,764
that could be going on...
549
00:24:56,799 --> 00:24:59,059
Police say
the woman used a kitchen knife
550
00:24:59,106 --> 00:25:00,406
to stab her son.
551
00:25:00,455 --> 00:25:01,975
Neighbors say the boy
552
00:25:02,022 --> 00:25:03,892
was celebrating
his birthday today.
553
00:25:03,937 --> 00:25:06,767
He had just turned seven.
554
00:25:06,809 --> 00:25:10,199
And we start to crawl
into that weird, nuance-y
555
00:25:10,247 --> 00:25:12,117
dark space where you're like,
556
00:25:12,162 --> 00:25:15,432
"Who's really seeing reality
right now?"
557
00:25:16,993 --> 00:25:18,913
"Who's really experiencing
what right now?"
558
00:25:18,952 --> 00:25:20,082
Mum!
559
00:25:24,305 --> 00:25:26,955
Then you realize
that these two people
560
00:25:27,003 --> 00:25:30,443
who love each other so much
are up against something
561
00:25:30,485 --> 00:25:32,655
that is both outside
of themselves
562
00:25:32,705 --> 00:25:34,655
and within themselves.
563
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:40,280
Come on in.
564
00:25:43,846 --> 00:25:46,236
- Got ya.
- Oh, shit.
565
00:25:46,283 --> 00:25:48,373
"The Last House on the Left,"
strangely enough,
566
00:25:48,416 --> 00:25:51,546
has had a recent renaissance
of interest.
567
00:25:51,593 --> 00:25:53,463
You guys let us
the hell out of here,
568
00:25:53,508 --> 00:25:55,898
or I'm gonna start screaming.
569
00:25:55,945 --> 00:25:58,375
When it first came out,
everyone pretty must agreed
570
00:25:58,426 --> 00:26:01,116
that it was just too brutal.
571
00:26:01,168 --> 00:26:02,738
We're gonna have a little fun.
572
00:26:02,778 --> 00:26:04,738
Wes Craven,
when he made that movie,
573
00:26:04,780 --> 00:26:06,390
was a novice,
574
00:26:06,434 --> 00:26:09,054
but he was really angry
about the state of the world,
575
00:26:09,089 --> 00:26:11,269
and this was
his commentary on it.
576
00:26:13,267 --> 00:26:14,617
There's a point at which
577
00:26:14,660 --> 00:26:17,140
horror just becomes grotesquery,
578
00:26:17,184 --> 00:26:20,144
and I think that movie
came very close to that.
579
00:26:20,187 --> 00:26:21,797
It's graphic rape
580
00:26:21,841 --> 00:26:23,671
by the meanest,
most sadistic guys
581
00:26:23,712 --> 00:26:25,372
you've ever met in your life.
582
00:26:25,409 --> 00:26:27,189
Piss your pants.
583
00:26:27,237 --> 00:26:30,407
It's the first movie
that I shut off halfway through
584
00:26:30,458 --> 00:26:32,368
'cause I couldn't finish
in one sitting.
585
00:26:32,416 --> 00:26:34,506
It really upset when
the character pees herself
586
00:26:34,549 --> 00:26:35,899
because she's so scared.
587
00:26:35,942 --> 00:26:37,552
That's what kind of
did it for me.
588
00:26:37,596 --> 00:26:39,116
I was like, "I need to take
a break from this movie,
589
00:26:39,162 --> 00:26:40,512
"because it's so upsetting
and so distressing
590
00:26:40,555 --> 00:26:41,725
in the moment."
591
00:26:41,774 --> 00:26:44,394
It was a hard watch for me,
592
00:26:44,428 --> 00:26:48,218
but it evoked such a strong
visceral response in me
593
00:26:48,258 --> 00:26:52,128
that I really appreciated
that a movie can do that.
594
00:26:52,175 --> 00:26:54,525
I think what makes it work
595
00:26:54,569 --> 00:26:56,829
is that a lot of the movie
is being told
596
00:26:56,876 --> 00:26:59,566
through the young women's
point of view.
597
00:26:59,618 --> 00:27:02,398
So, when we get to the deaths
of the two girls,
598
00:27:02,446 --> 00:27:05,276
it's awful
because we feel for them.
599
00:27:05,319 --> 00:27:07,539
When that character is gutted,
600
00:27:07,582 --> 00:27:09,502
it's really awful
because she's become
601
00:27:09,540 --> 00:27:12,200
a fully fleshed out person
to us.
602
00:27:12,239 --> 00:27:15,809
And then it's compounded
on the second death,
603
00:27:15,851 --> 00:27:18,381
which is even more tragic,
when she just knows,
604
00:27:18,419 --> 00:27:20,379
"This is it.
There's no hope for me."
605
00:27:22,815 --> 00:27:24,205
She goes out into the water,
606
00:27:24,251 --> 00:27:26,171
and she just lets them
shoot her.
607
00:27:29,735 --> 00:27:32,555
She falls into the water,
and it actually re-creates
608
00:27:32,607 --> 00:27:34,567
this famous painting of Ophelia.
609
00:27:36,263 --> 00:27:39,353
And it's such a tragic moment
in the film.
610
00:27:56,457 --> 00:28:01,237
"Terrified" is
a small Argentinian movie,
611
00:28:01,288 --> 00:28:05,898
and it's a very clever,
spooky film
612
00:28:05,945 --> 00:28:08,765
of an event that takes place
613
00:28:08,817 --> 00:28:12,037
in a block of a neighborhood.
614
00:28:19,523 --> 00:28:22,743
It actually lives up
to its title.
615
00:28:22,788 --> 00:28:24,048
I don't think anyone
was prepared
616
00:28:24,093 --> 00:28:27,103
for just how scary
that movie was gonna be.
617
00:28:27,140 --> 00:28:29,270
Aah!
618
00:28:29,316 --> 00:28:32,096
It also has an incredibly
iconic opening sequence
619
00:28:32,145 --> 00:28:34,625
of the woman being thrown
around her bathroom
620
00:28:34,669 --> 00:28:37,369
by a ghost.
621
00:28:37,411 --> 00:28:39,591
It's so much bloodier
than you think it can be,
622
00:28:39,630 --> 00:28:41,330
and it won't stop.
623
00:28:41,371 --> 00:28:42,761
She's hitting the wall...
624
00:28:42,808 --> 00:28:44,368
hitting the wall...
625
00:28:44,418 --> 00:28:45,718
hitting the wall.
626
00:28:56,996 --> 00:28:58,946
It hits a level of absurdity
627
00:28:58,998 --> 00:29:00,608
but then goes back
to really upsetting you.
628
00:29:02,653 --> 00:29:04,793
"Terrified"
is kind of spectacular
629
00:29:04,830 --> 00:29:07,350
in how varied it freaks you out.
630
00:29:07,397 --> 00:29:08,827
The really big
creepy scene in it...
631
00:29:08,877 --> 00:29:10,307
it's not a jump scare.
632
00:29:10,357 --> 00:29:11,917
It's more of a scene
that makes you just go...
633
00:29:14,187 --> 00:29:16,537
In the film, we see a little boy
634
00:29:16,580 --> 00:29:18,840
struck and killed by a truck.
635
00:29:20,149 --> 00:29:23,329
His mother's distraught
as they bury this poor child,
636
00:29:23,370 --> 00:29:25,550
but a few days later,
637
00:29:25,589 --> 00:29:27,979
he comes back.
638
00:29:28,027 --> 00:29:30,417
And it's just
absolutely terrifying,
639
00:29:30,464 --> 00:29:32,474
because at first,
the police are called,
640
00:29:32,509 --> 00:29:35,339
so you have the captain
go there.
641
00:29:35,382 --> 00:29:36,862
And when you see the front
of the house,
642
00:29:36,905 --> 00:29:41,815
it's covered with these bloody
and muddy handprints
643
00:29:41,867 --> 00:29:44,477
and shoeprints on the wall,
on the door.
644
00:29:44,521 --> 00:29:47,261
And as he opens the door,
you see these muddy footprints,
645
00:29:47,307 --> 00:29:49,217
and you're thinking,
"What is this?"
646
00:29:49,265 --> 00:29:52,175
And then you see
the little boy sitting there,
647
00:29:52,225 --> 00:29:54,525
his rotting corpse sitting there
648
00:29:54,575 --> 00:29:58,795
with a glass of milk
and some cookies and cereal.
649
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,360
And he's sitting there lifeless.
650
00:30:01,408 --> 00:30:04,848
His hands
just completely wrecked
651
00:30:04,890 --> 00:30:08,460
from what appeared to be
digging out of the grave.
652
00:30:08,502 --> 00:30:10,112
And the entire scene takes place
653
00:30:10,156 --> 00:30:11,636
in front of this dead kid,
654
00:30:11,679 --> 00:30:14,989
but it is framed
with this deep Z-axis,
655
00:30:15,030 --> 00:30:16,730
so we're seeing them
in the foreground,
656
00:30:16,771 --> 00:30:18,731
and we're looking back
to this dead kid
657
00:30:18,773 --> 00:30:20,823
that they keep in the frame
the entire time.
658
00:30:20,862 --> 00:30:23,652
It is a almost ten-minute scene,
659
00:30:23,691 --> 00:30:26,521
and you spend
the entire ten minutes
660
00:30:26,563 --> 00:30:28,743
waiting
for that dead kid to move,
661
00:30:28,783 --> 00:30:29,873
just waiting.
662
00:30:29,915 --> 00:30:32,125
And they get up in his face.
663
00:30:32,178 --> 00:30:33,568
And then they have a spoon,
664
00:30:33,614 --> 00:30:34,754
and they're seeing
if he's still alive.
665
00:30:36,443 --> 00:30:38,103
And then they turn
to talk to each other,
666
00:30:38,140 --> 00:30:40,880
and you as audience
are just sitting there
667
00:30:40,926 --> 00:30:42,966
waiting for the dead kid
to move.
668
00:30:43,015 --> 00:30:46,145
It's unnerving
to the heaviest degree.
669
00:30:46,192 --> 00:30:47,932
It's just so unnerving.
670
00:30:47,976 --> 00:30:50,196
They decide,
"Oh, well, I don't know.
671
00:30:50,239 --> 00:30:52,289
"It's weird.
He's dead, clearly.
672
00:30:52,328 --> 00:30:54,068
We'll get somebody in here
to take his body back."
673
00:30:54,113 --> 00:30:55,773
So they turn out the lights,
674
00:30:55,810 --> 00:30:57,590
and as soon as they turn out
the lights,
675
00:30:57,638 --> 00:30:58,768
they hear something.
676
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:06,820
And the milk has spilled.
677
00:31:06,865 --> 00:31:09,775
And then they realize
that he did move,
678
00:31:09,824 --> 00:31:12,004
and he spilt his milk,
but we don't get to see it.
679
00:31:12,044 --> 00:31:13,704
They flip it back on,
680
00:31:13,741 --> 00:31:15,661
and he's sitting in
the exact same position again,
681
00:31:15,699 --> 00:31:18,089
very much dead,
now just with milk everywhere.
682
00:31:18,137 --> 00:31:19,877
And he's posed almost.
683
00:31:19,921 --> 00:31:21,661
There's a mannequin quality
to him.
684
00:31:23,925 --> 00:31:25,705
Even recently I showed it
to some friends
685
00:31:25,753 --> 00:31:27,233
who had never seen it.
686
00:31:30,323 --> 00:31:33,243
And that young boy ruined
their week.
687
00:31:40,072 --> 00:31:42,602
I'm a messenger of God.
688
00:31:42,639 --> 00:31:45,769
You're doomed if you stay here.
689
00:31:45,816 --> 00:31:48,776
This place is cursed, cursed.
690
00:31:51,344 --> 00:31:53,004
"Friday the 13th" is, of course,
691
00:31:53,041 --> 00:31:54,481
a groundbreaking film.
692
00:31:54,521 --> 00:31:57,261
It kind of changed
the face of horror.
693
00:31:57,306 --> 00:31:59,046
I know "Halloween"
gets a lot of credit for it,
694
00:31:59,091 --> 00:32:00,661
and it certainly set
the blueprint,
695
00:32:00,701 --> 00:32:02,401
but "Friday the 13th"
kind of put it
696
00:32:02,442 --> 00:32:04,362
into a new sort of landscape.
697
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:05,920
Welcome to Camp Crystal Lake.
698
00:32:05,967 --> 00:32:07,267
You gonna last all summer?
699
00:32:07,316 --> 00:32:09,096
I don't know
if I'm gonna last all week.
700
00:32:09,144 --> 00:32:10,674
Oh, shit.
701
00:32:10,711 --> 00:32:12,581
But is also upped
the special effects.
702
00:32:12,626 --> 00:32:13,976
And Tom Savini came in,
703
00:32:14,019 --> 00:32:16,979
and he did
an absolutely incredible job
704
00:32:17,022 --> 00:32:19,852
decimating the cast
of that film.
705
00:32:23,811 --> 00:32:25,811
The first one
was very much a mystery.
706
00:32:27,597 --> 00:32:29,987
It has horrible kills in it,
but it's very much a mystery.
707
00:32:30,035 --> 00:32:31,505
Who's that?
708
00:32:33,038 --> 00:32:34,428
Oh, hi.
709
00:32:34,474 --> 00:32:36,394
What are you doing out
in this mess?
710
00:32:36,432 --> 00:32:38,222
'Cause I had no idea
when I was watching the movie
711
00:32:38,260 --> 00:32:39,870
who was killing them.
712
00:32:39,914 --> 00:32:41,394
Oh!
713
00:32:41,437 --> 00:32:42,607
But the funny thing is,
the first one,
714
00:32:42,656 --> 00:32:45,176
the iconic killer
is Mrs. Voorhees.
715
00:32:45,224 --> 00:32:48,714
Jason was my son,
and today is his birthday.
716
00:32:48,749 --> 00:32:51,319
Which I thought was brilliant.
717
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,280
Aah!
718
00:32:55,103 --> 00:32:58,543
The last thing you know
is you've seen Mrs. Voorhees
719
00:32:58,585 --> 00:33:00,145
reveal herself as the killer.
720
00:33:00,195 --> 00:33:02,365
Jason's actually dead.
721
00:33:02,415 --> 00:33:03,885
It never was Jason.
722
00:33:03,938 --> 00:33:05,588
It was Mrs. Voorhees
the whole time,
723
00:33:05,635 --> 00:33:06,985
and she's psychotic.
724
00:33:07,028 --> 00:33:08,678
Don't let her live.
725
00:33:08,725 --> 00:33:10,635
I won't, Jason.
726
00:33:10,684 --> 00:33:11,954
I won't.
727
00:33:14,079 --> 00:33:16,039
And Alice, who's our final girl,
728
00:33:16,081 --> 00:33:20,871
beheads her
in this extremely fun way.
729
00:33:29,442 --> 00:33:31,142
And then the next thing
you know,
730
00:33:31,183 --> 00:33:35,843
Alice is floating in a canoe
on the lake.
731
00:33:35,883 --> 00:33:39,233
And you're like, "Oh, I guess
she got in the canoe.
732
00:33:39,278 --> 00:33:41,798
She's waiting for help maybe,
or she seems really"...
733
00:33:41,845 --> 00:33:43,455
You're like,
"I guess she's really relaxed
734
00:33:43,499 --> 00:33:45,109
now that she killed
the killer."
735
00:33:50,115 --> 00:33:52,115
It's a nice, calm little scene.
736
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:53,680
And then...
737
00:33:55,468 --> 00:33:58,858
This deformed monster
of a person
738
00:33:58,906 --> 00:34:02,076
jumps out of the water,
and it's Jason.
739
00:34:04,346 --> 00:34:07,306
That was not in the script.
That was my idea.
740
00:34:07,349 --> 00:34:10,609
The script ended
when Adrienne King
741
00:34:10,657 --> 00:34:12,437
cuts off Betsy Palmer's head.
742
00:34:12,485 --> 00:34:13,825
But I had just seen "Carrie."
743
00:34:15,618 --> 00:34:17,658
When you're watching the movie,
744
00:34:17,706 --> 00:34:19,136
the music is swelling
745
00:34:19,187 --> 00:34:23,097
like the credits
are gonna roll any second.
746
00:34:23,148 --> 00:34:24,238
That hand comes
out of the ground...
747
00:34:25,976 --> 00:34:27,276
And scares the shit
out of you, you know.
748
00:34:27,326 --> 00:34:28,716
I said, "We need a chair jumper
749
00:34:28,762 --> 00:34:30,202
"at the end of this movie.
750
00:34:30,242 --> 00:34:32,202
"Why can't Jason jump out
of the water
751
00:34:32,244 --> 00:34:33,774
and grab her
and pull her down?"
752
00:34:33,810 --> 00:34:35,160
And he said,
"Well, he's dead."
753
00:34:35,203 --> 00:34:36,813
I said, "Make it a dream,"
754
00:34:36,857 --> 00:34:40,117
'cause for some reason,
people accept anything
755
00:34:40,165 --> 00:34:41,905
if you tell them it was a dream.
756
00:34:41,949 --> 00:34:44,649
No! No!
757
00:34:44,690 --> 00:34:46,910
- It's all right now.
- Miss, it's all over.
758
00:34:46,954 --> 00:34:49,484
Or was it a dream?
759
00:34:49,522 --> 00:34:50,912
I don't know, right?
760
00:34:50,958 --> 00:34:53,568
The boy, is he dead, too?
761
00:34:53,612 --> 00:34:55,962
Ma'am, we didn't find any boy.
762
00:34:56,005 --> 00:34:57,745
Then he's still there.
763
00:34:57,791 --> 00:34:59,881
Like, maybe there'll be
another movie.
764
00:34:59,923 --> 00:35:03,323
I told the others.
They didn't believe me.
765
00:35:03,362 --> 00:35:05,232
You're all doomed.
766
00:35:05,277 --> 00:35:08,317
And you'll find out
that Jason really is alive...
767
00:35:08,367 --> 00:35:10,147
Jason!
768
00:35:13,676 --> 00:35:14,806
Aah!
769
00:35:14,851 --> 00:35:16,511
And killing people.
770
00:35:37,918 --> 00:35:39,958
"Dawn of the Dead"
holds a very, very
771
00:35:40,007 --> 00:35:42,177
near and dear place in my heart
772
00:35:42,227 --> 00:35:45,227
because that's the movie
that kind of got me
773
00:35:45,273 --> 00:35:47,193
on my makeup-effects journey.
774
00:35:47,232 --> 00:35:49,232
The bodies of the dead
775
00:35:49,277 --> 00:35:51,977
will be delivered over
to specially equipped squads
776
00:35:52,019 --> 00:35:53,459
of the National Guard.
777
00:35:53,499 --> 00:35:55,629
What's brilliant
about what George did
778
00:35:55,675 --> 00:35:57,885
in the opening 20 minutes
of that movie
779
00:35:57,938 --> 00:36:01,418
is he throws you
into this chaos.
780
00:36:01,463 --> 00:36:03,943
You know we've got
this building surrounded!
781
00:36:03,987 --> 00:36:06,207
There's a police SWAT team
782
00:36:06,251 --> 00:36:11,341
that are trying to infiltrate
this low-income housing
783
00:36:11,386 --> 00:36:13,606
where the predominantly
families of color
784
00:36:13,649 --> 00:36:15,349
didn't want to surrender
their dead
785
00:36:15,390 --> 00:36:17,700
as they were supposed to
according to the law.
786
00:36:17,740 --> 00:36:20,740
People in this project
are your responsibility.
787
00:36:20,787 --> 00:36:22,477
This sounds very familiar,
788
00:36:22,528 --> 00:36:24,398
but this idea
of low-income families
789
00:36:24,443 --> 00:36:25,623
and communities of color,
790
00:36:25,661 --> 00:36:27,841
they have a lot of reason
to be suspicious
791
00:36:27,881 --> 00:36:29,011
about the government.
792
00:36:29,056 --> 00:36:30,706
And why are they gonna listen
to them?
793
00:36:30,753 --> 00:36:32,103
And it speaks
to just the brokenness
794
00:36:32,146 --> 00:36:33,446
of our institutions.
795
00:36:33,495 --> 00:36:35,055
Do you believe the dead
are returning to life
796
00:36:35,105 --> 00:36:36,275
and attacking the living?
797
00:36:36,324 --> 00:36:38,414
I'm not so sure
what to believe, Doctor.
798
00:36:38,457 --> 00:36:39,977
Come on, let's go!
799
00:36:40,023 --> 00:36:42,033
And then the door
gets kicked open,
800
00:36:42,069 --> 00:36:43,379
and then
there's a big shoot-out.
801
00:36:43,418 --> 00:36:45,768
So you're like, "If there
are zombies attacking,
802
00:36:45,812 --> 00:36:47,472
why is this happening?"
803
00:36:47,509 --> 00:36:48,989
Look out!
804
00:36:51,470 --> 00:36:53,080
We should be able
to work together
805
00:36:53,123 --> 00:36:55,523
for the greater good
in the face of zombies,
806
00:36:55,561 --> 00:36:57,131
but, of course,
that's not the case.
807
00:36:57,171 --> 00:36:59,431
It just exacerbates the issues
that we already have.
808
00:37:01,262 --> 00:37:03,792
Come on, you little bastards.
809
00:37:03,830 --> 00:37:07,530
And then you have Wooley,
who's going apeshit.
810
00:37:07,573 --> 00:37:08,533
Wooley!
811
00:37:08,574 --> 00:37:09,924
Hey, hey, hey!
812
00:37:09,966 --> 00:37:12,006
He's just shooting people.
813
00:37:12,055 --> 00:37:14,185
And then he kicks the door in,
814
00:37:14,232 --> 00:37:16,762
head explodes.
815
00:37:16,799 --> 00:37:18,759
Greatest head explosion ever.
816
00:37:20,325 --> 00:37:22,755
Once they deal with that moment,
817
00:37:22,805 --> 00:37:24,495
then you're like,
"Okay, well, the threat's over.
818
00:37:24,546 --> 00:37:25,806
This crazy guy is done."
819
00:37:25,852 --> 00:37:27,462
And then they kick a door in...
820
00:37:27,506 --> 00:37:30,156
Not that room!
821
00:37:32,511 --> 00:37:34,301
And zombies come out.
822
00:37:36,384 --> 00:37:40,134
And you see the first
zombie bite in the neck.
823
00:37:42,042 --> 00:37:44,352
I almost... blech.
824
00:37:48,657 --> 00:37:50,487
I don't remember
if the bite at the beginning
825
00:37:50,529 --> 00:37:52,269
was in the screenplay.
826
00:37:52,313 --> 00:37:53,753
But I really wanted
to see a zombie
827
00:37:53,793 --> 00:37:55,233
take a chunk out of somebody,
828
00:37:55,273 --> 00:37:57,753
And that was the first effect
we did in the film.
829
00:37:57,797 --> 00:38:00,577
And it scared the crew.
It scared the cast.
830
00:38:00,626 --> 00:38:03,276
It was like, "Oh, is that
what this is gonna be?
831
00:38:03,324 --> 00:38:04,634
Is that is what
this is gonna be like?"
832
00:38:04,673 --> 00:38:07,153
At that point
in cinematic history,
833
00:38:07,197 --> 00:38:11,287
we had never seen
teeth sinking into skin...
834
00:38:11,332 --> 00:38:13,602
krrr, pulling a chunk
of skin away... blech...
835
00:38:13,639 --> 00:38:16,599
even though, if you look at it,
it's all white, unpainted foam.
836
00:38:16,642 --> 00:38:18,342
Sorry, Tom.
837
00:38:20,646 --> 00:38:22,946
If somebody were to do
that bite today,
838
00:38:22,996 --> 00:38:26,256
you wouldn't just bit
a clean chunk out of somebody.
839
00:38:26,304 --> 00:38:30,004
There would be pieces of flesh
that would stretch and snap.
840
00:38:30,046 --> 00:38:32,136
And we call it
"chunks of flesh."
841
00:38:34,050 --> 00:38:36,490
And then it's not that
that's enough.
842
00:38:36,531 --> 00:38:38,271
But then the arm.
843
00:38:38,316 --> 00:38:42,356
Stand clear!
844
00:38:42,407 --> 00:38:44,757
It changed who I was.
845
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,150
Like, I felt my DNA
being unwound
846
00:38:47,194 --> 00:38:50,114
and then rewound
into something different
847
00:38:50,153 --> 00:38:53,033
at that exact moment.
848
00:38:53,069 --> 00:38:56,029
The thing that
I'm really sorry about...
849
00:38:56,072 --> 00:38:58,772
is the way the blood looks
in "Dawn of the Dead."
850
00:38:58,814 --> 00:39:00,824
It looked great in the bottle,
851
00:39:00,860 --> 00:39:03,120
but it photographed, like,
you know, melted crayons,
852
00:39:03,166 --> 00:39:05,946
like red paint...
it was horrible.
853
00:39:05,995 --> 00:39:08,215
I wish they would go back
and correct that blood.
854
00:39:10,304 --> 00:39:13,484
But from that
zombie bite onward,
855
00:39:13,525 --> 00:39:17,565
you're watching
the movie like this.
856
00:39:17,616 --> 00:39:19,266
And then the rest of the movie,
857
00:39:19,313 --> 00:39:21,663
you're like...
858
00:39:21,707 --> 00:39:23,747
"Please, don't do it.
No more."
859
00:39:23,796 --> 00:39:25,966
It's like being tortured.
860
00:39:30,455 --> 00:39:35,065
This is the first
21st birthday present
861
00:39:35,111 --> 00:39:37,551
I'll ever have given.
862
00:39:37,592 --> 00:39:39,942
And it's the first
I've ever asked for.
863
00:39:41,770 --> 00:39:44,030
So "Peeping Tom" is maybe
the most notorious
864
00:39:44,077 --> 00:39:45,507
classic British horror film.
865
00:39:48,211 --> 00:39:51,001
It's a movie about this guy
who was basically abused
866
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:52,830
by his father,
867
00:39:52,868 --> 00:39:54,738
who filmed everything he did
and tried to traumatize him
868
00:39:54,783 --> 00:39:56,703
and just scare
the crap out of him
869
00:39:56,742 --> 00:39:58,612
when he was trying to sleep.
870
00:40:00,789 --> 00:40:02,309
So he's basically
been guinea-pigged
871
00:40:02,356 --> 00:40:03,576
into becoming a serial killer.
872
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,930
And so he winds up,
as we find out,
873
00:40:08,971 --> 00:40:10,631
cornering women and filming
their horrified reactions
874
00:40:10,669 --> 00:40:11,669
with something.
875
00:40:11,713 --> 00:40:14,673
No!
876
00:40:17,284 --> 00:40:18,724
Well, it's interesting.
877
00:40:18,764 --> 00:40:21,684
In 1960, Alfred Hitchcock
makes "Psycho,"
878
00:40:21,723 --> 00:40:23,123
one of his biggest hits,
879
00:40:23,159 --> 00:40:26,249
and probably becomes
even more famous
880
00:40:26,293 --> 00:40:27,773
as a director and a personality
881
00:40:27,816 --> 00:40:29,596
than he even had been before.
882
00:40:32,081 --> 00:40:34,911
Meanwhile, Michael Powell
makes "Peeping Tom"
883
00:40:34,954 --> 00:40:36,564
in 1960,
884
00:40:36,608 --> 00:40:39,698
and it's the end
of his career in a way.
885
00:40:39,741 --> 00:40:41,871
Like,
it got such vicious reviews.
886
00:40:41,917 --> 00:40:44,047
People called it pornographic
887
00:40:44,093 --> 00:40:46,623
and, you know,
a crime against cinema.
888
00:40:46,661 --> 00:40:49,621
And it had exactly the opposite
effect of "Psycho."
889
00:40:52,885 --> 00:40:55,795
At the time,
people were wondering why
890
00:40:55,844 --> 00:40:59,074
Michael Powell,
venerated British director
891
00:40:59,108 --> 00:41:02,678
of classics like
"A Matter of Life and Death"
892
00:41:02,721 --> 00:41:04,901
and "The Red Shoes"...
893
00:41:04,940 --> 00:41:07,200
they're thinking,
"Why is he making this trash?
894
00:41:07,247 --> 00:41:10,377
Why does he want to show us
these appalling things?"
895
00:41:13,079 --> 00:41:15,429
I mean, imagine, like,
if today, you know,
896
00:41:15,473 --> 00:41:17,483
I don't know, I guess
if, like, Spielberg
897
00:41:17,518 --> 00:41:19,908
made, you know,
an NC-17 sex movie.
898
00:41:19,955 --> 00:41:21,905
I mean, it's just...
899
00:41:21,957 --> 00:41:23,867
You would not see that coming.
900
00:41:27,006 --> 00:41:29,356
The final scene of "Peeping Tom"
901
00:41:29,399 --> 00:41:32,009
is one of the most twisted
moments of cinema
902
00:41:32,054 --> 00:41:33,364
you will ever see,
903
00:41:33,403 --> 00:41:35,883
and it's something
I will never forget.
904
00:41:40,541 --> 00:41:42,591
The shot that I always
really remember, actually,
905
00:41:42,630 --> 00:41:45,020
is when Anna Massey realizes
906
00:41:45,067 --> 00:41:48,157
what Mark Lewis is up to
907
00:41:48,201 --> 00:41:51,641
and tries to sort of retreat
out of his projection room,
908
00:41:51,683 --> 00:41:53,293
and there's
that amazing shot of her
909
00:41:53,336 --> 00:41:55,076
kind of, like,
behind the shelves,
910
00:41:55,121 --> 00:41:56,471
trying to escape
911
00:41:56,514 --> 00:41:58,394
before she runs
into Carl Boehm again.
912
00:41:58,428 --> 00:41:59,868
Aah!
913
00:41:59,908 --> 00:42:01,738
Do you know
what the most frightening thing
914
00:42:01,780 --> 00:42:02,960
in the world is?
915
00:42:04,739 --> 00:42:07,699
You get to see
in that amazing moment
916
00:42:07,742 --> 00:42:09,482
what the victims have seen.
917
00:42:11,137 --> 00:42:14,577
And they felt the spike...
918
00:42:14,619 --> 00:42:17,189
touching their throat...
919
00:42:17,230 --> 00:42:20,450
and knew I was going
to kill them.
920
00:42:20,494 --> 00:42:22,844
So they're seeing their own face
921
00:42:22,888 --> 00:42:25,758
at the point of death,
and he's also recording that.
922
00:42:25,804 --> 00:42:29,114
So it's pretty fiendish.
923
00:42:29,155 --> 00:42:31,105
I remember thinking
that that ending
924
00:42:31,157 --> 00:42:33,897
was more twisted than most
of the serial killer movies
925
00:42:33,942 --> 00:42:36,252
we were seeing in the mid-2000s.
926
00:42:36,292 --> 00:42:38,772
"Saw" is cool.
927
00:42:38,817 --> 00:42:42,907
But he built a camera
with a mirror with a knife
928
00:42:42,951 --> 00:42:45,481
so that he could
literally watch people
929
00:42:45,519 --> 00:42:47,169
watching themselves die.
930
00:42:47,216 --> 00:42:49,436
How fucked up is that?
931
00:42:56,574 --> 00:42:58,104
It's a pretty fucked-up film.
932
00:42:58,140 --> 00:42:59,930
But it's amazing, you know?
933
00:42:59,968 --> 00:43:01,538
It is about cinema.
934
00:43:05,234 --> 00:43:06,764
I think
there's a lot of filmmakers
935
00:43:06,801 --> 00:43:09,981
that, like Mark Lewis does
in the film,
936
00:43:10,022 --> 00:43:13,372
they're turning the mirror
on the audience.
937
00:43:13,416 --> 00:43:16,196
Come on, sonny, make us famous.
938
00:43:16,245 --> 00:43:18,765
So, obviously, it's kind of
explicitly drawing a line
939
00:43:18,813 --> 00:43:23,173
between the idea
of a director as voyeur
940
00:43:23,209 --> 00:43:25,299
and the audience member
as voyeur.
941
00:43:28,431 --> 00:43:30,091
Why do we watch horror films?
942
00:43:30,129 --> 00:43:31,779
'Cause we want to see things
943
00:43:31,826 --> 00:43:34,656
that we shouldn't really
be seeing.
944
00:43:34,699 --> 00:43:36,089
It's illicit,
945
00:43:36,135 --> 00:43:37,955
and there are thrills
in the illicit
946
00:43:38,006 --> 00:43:41,836
of something
you shouldn't be watching.
947
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,750
And so I think that sort of,
you know, continues
948
00:43:44,796 --> 00:43:48,016
a grand tradition of directors
who sort of like forcing you
949
00:43:48,060 --> 00:43:50,800
to question why you enjoy
horror movies.
950
00:43:57,417 --> 00:43:59,677
That was a little too much
for people to deal with
951
00:43:59,724 --> 00:44:01,294
when the film came out,
952
00:44:01,334 --> 00:44:03,424
'cause it's like, you're not
supposed to take cinema
953
00:44:03,466 --> 00:44:05,896
and kind of shove it back
in people's faces like that.
