Oh Yeah… and Ghosts (Promo) · Movie Meltdown

• 0:15
  Speaker 1: I think I took a picture of it on movie
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: is what I was telling myself and this would be
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: it so this is Isabelle it's a very striking cover
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: it really is but I thought it would be fitting
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: for this week's roundup because according to IMDb A young
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: couple's dream of starting a family shatters as they descend
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: into the depths of paranoia and must struggle to survive
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: an evil presence that wants nothing more than their very
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: own lives. It's basically the girl next door is dead
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: and is still hanging out there and is creeping them
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: out looking through the window at home. I don't know.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I watched the trailer earlier.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: That doesn't sound terrible, though.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, she's in the next door house, not your house.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The house next door to a haunted house.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah. It doesn't seem that bad.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: So that's what you want us to watch. People were
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: telling you, you have much better ideas of movies we
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: should be watching than Isabella, Rossellini, or whoever that movie was.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: So, yeah.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Otherwise, we have to watch things like that, which they
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: seem to think isn't terrible, but I feel like after
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: we watch it, they're going to be like, this movie
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: was terrible. You just wait and see. Or better yet,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: go to MovieMetal.com, join the horror club, and give us
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: a better option than whatever this movie is. Please. Yeah.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: And then we'll watch something entertaining and say entertaining things
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: like this. There's been a massacre in the pumpkin patch.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: You know, Linus never says that the Great Pumpkin was benevolent.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: And the memes that I keep seeing online make it
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: seem like not so much.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: If things would have gone differently in that special, it
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: could have been Pumpkinhead 20 years ahead of its time.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Now I want to see that.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: You were also wondering about that.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I'm sure.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: You were like, what's up with the pumpkins? How much
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: older is Topher Grayston Phillips? These were your agenda coming
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: into this episode.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I'm in a weird point in my life where I see.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Don't think I've hated a character as much as I
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: hated George in like a.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Really long time.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: I wanted him to die so soon in this movie.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Me too.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: And every time they feature just him, I'm like, is
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: this it?
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I know. Is it a thought time?
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: But the way it's directed, it's really hard to tell
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: what's real and what's hallucinating. There were many times in
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: the movie where I was like, whoa. It's really well made.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: It's very good.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Blowing your mind.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Highly recommend if you want a mind explosion.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: It was great.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: I liked it a lot.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: He shows up and he's like, hey, you believe in ghosts?
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: I believe in ghosts. Guess what? You got one in
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: this house, but don't worry about it. It's cool.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Let's have a seance anyway just so we can You know,
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: you can get to know her.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: That's fine. I'm fine with all that. They have the seance.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: She shows up, which was really spooky with the sheet
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: and everything.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that moment's genuine. Like, it works.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: And then....
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: If anything, this is how I get suckered into so
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: many horror movies. Being the horror geek that I am,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: it's what does it add, take away from, screw up,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: weave into the lore of whatever you're dealing with, which
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: in this one is vampires. So with any of these,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: they kind of have to make up their own set
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: of rules. What universe do we live in? What applies
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: from lore that we know of versus what's in this movie?
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: And how do they do it? Well, this one is like,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and I saw it even described as like.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: She was part of this evil cult that lives out
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: in the woods.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: It was like a deus ex Justine coma thing that
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: like she just sees this vision of them and then
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: wakes up. And also, how is that going to work
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: in court, Justine? You'll be like, I saw her as
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: a ghost.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Coma information dump. That totally works in court. Or, and
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: just spitballing here, they have four bedrooms, which they have said,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: they made a point to say, well, there's two of them.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Just move. Move across the hallway.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Pick the bedroom over top of the garage, so maybe
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: go with one of the other ones.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: They have four bedrooms, and she keeps making them sleep
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: on the couch downstairs.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Well, it is huge, too, because every once in a while,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: they pull back and do that shot from outside, and
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I'm like, that's like a good two, maybe two and
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: a half houses crammed together.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: That thing is massive.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: So I'm like you must have got a deal Like
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: somebody got murdered Oh that should have tipped you off
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: lady He barely has a job At a school up
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: here How did you afford that house You should have
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: known something was up with the real estate Vampire real
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: estate agent That's what it was Oh wait I'm mixing my.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Movies So There's our other movie.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: So I can never tell Is that a movie is
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: that a series Could you tell me Is it in English?
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Are there subtitles? I might be drunk already. Let me
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: know if I need to read.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: They don't tell you any of that stuff.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: From what I could tell as I watched it, it
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: was in English.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, it helps, I guess, that they're on cable television.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: So they have a lower budget. So they only have
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: so much they can do with this thing that they're creating.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: And the fact that it's done relatively badly sort of
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: makes it way more entertaining. Because there's times that I'm like,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: that looks so terrible. And that makes it so much funnier.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: We've talked many times about how in the right hands,
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: shitty special.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Effects can be amazing.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I feel like if they had a real million dollar
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: movie budget, you'd be like, well, this is dumb.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: But because it looks dumb, you're just like, no, this
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: is genius.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: It's so good.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: It's fun. It can be both, but you're only referring
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: to it as one. But it was just very frustrating.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: And again, then it came to nothing in the end.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: So what was the point of the whole thing anyway?
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: And we'll get back to that. Well, most of what
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: goes on in this movie came to nothing in the end.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: And I was like.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: So, and that's an interesting little setup there. But within
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the industry, the big dog, as it were, that is
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the badass vampire killer that everybody wants to be.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Is played by.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: That's all we really need to know about this movie
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: is this guy sucks.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: And maybe there's ghosts.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: But mostly, this guy sucks.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Well, going all the way back to the beginning, I
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: knew we were in trouble. When we see her.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Which, when you pick up on that.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: It does, yeah.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but when you pick up on that that.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: Early in, that's not a good sign as far as
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: story structure goes.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: But it doesn't layer it well. Exactly.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Like, if you knew there were layers, that's the thing.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: There's so many of those weird little religious tie-in things
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: that are going on at the last 15 minutes of
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the movie or so that you're like, oh, well, it's
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: nice that you... I mean, I didn't notice it watching it,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: so it does me absolutely no good as a viewer
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: of the movie. So, points to you for doing your research,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: but you might have wanted to, I don't know, put
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: it in the movie we were watching so that we'd
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: get something out of it instead of reading about it
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: after the fact and going, oh, they did that.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: I'll be darned.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: That's nice. Didn't help me during the movie, so why
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: do I care?
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Well, the devil does live in Ohio.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Well, obviously.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: That's why they have all those billboards.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, everyone. Ohio, if you're out there, let us know.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Have you seen the devil? Is he lurking around outside your...
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Do you have a pumpkin patch and is he lurking
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: in there? Go to MovieMeltdown.com. Join the club. Give us
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: better movies to watch. That's all I'm saying. It's not
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: too much to ask, is it? I want to watch
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: a decent movie.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Just once. Just one week.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Even the ones that we pick aren't that decent.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: All the time. Yeah.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: That's what I found out. Some are.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: It's not us. It's the dice.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: It's not our fault. But even the ones we put
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: on the list. I keep thinking, this will be a
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: good time when we roll on this and it comes
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: up and then it's... Whatever.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: If I'm being honest, I blame Nora and myself more
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: than anything because.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: You're like, hey, you got any movies we want to
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: put on the list? And we're just like, whatever you
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: pick is fine.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Well, see, and that's the thing. I get myself into
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: it because I usually, by nature of this, go in
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: as blind as possible. So to be like, here's five
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: things that are new titles.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: That showed up on Netflix.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: All right, good enough. Like, I don't even know the
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: plot most of the time. Just like, that's a thing
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I saw pop up. And I went, whatever.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: This looks scary.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I was like, that says it looks like a horror movie. Sure, whatever.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: And then these are the things that. whole fillers that
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: end up on the list so you see how we
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: get ourselves in there i'm just trying to remember how
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: it feels to have a heartbeat
