  Speaker 1: We haven't done this in forever we're back sort of
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: and we have to tell people that we're back and
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: we're we're gonna threaten them with movies We haven't done
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: that in a long time.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: I forgot how to do it.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I forgot how to watch movies. I have gotten out
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: of practice lately. This time around, we're doing a movie
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: that's got a girl's name in it. It starts with
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: an A. So while I was looking through this other
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: garbage I'd seen recently, I was like, how about Anna?
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Or Ann. I think it's just E. A-N-N-E is how
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: she's spelling it. And, um, yeah. Here's the plot, according
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: to the back of this box. A mentally ill woman
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: with a severe personality disorder develops a strange relationship with
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: her dolls as she grows further apart from her son
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: and family, and sickness rapidly advances. She becomes a victim
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: to insomnia and even self-mutilation, leaving her son to uncover
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: that strange truth behind Anne's illness.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: That's fun.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: Is that a movie we want to watch or the
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: one we were supposed to watch?
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing that also worked a doll in.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I was like, this does have some tie-ins here. It's
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: a girl's name. It's got a doll involved. So, yeah,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: Okay, I was confused.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Did this come out before or after Annabelle?
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: It's 2018, I think. I put the year down in
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: case we had this question. So, I believe it is 2018.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: And I read the cast list and I don't know
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: a one of them. That's promising, I'm sure. So we
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: could end up watching that if somebody doesn't give us
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: a better option. But, you know, you guys, you're listening
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: right now. You can think of many movies that are
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: better than that, right?
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Or even worse, if you want to watch us squirm.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we have. We have. So, if you want to
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: give us either of those options, go to movieoutdown.com, click
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: on the Patreon link, and sign us a movie. If
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: you sign up at any level, you can put a
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: movie on the list, and then at some point we
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: will get to it and watch it. Be thrilled?
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: We'll have stuff to say.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. But, yep, otherwise we'll say a lot of
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: crazy things like we did this previous time. A lot
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: of nuns in that movie, though. There's a lot of
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: nun movies. Two things in movies.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: That frighten me more than anything else. Spooky kids and nuns.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: And they keep making both of those movies.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Well, there were both of them in this movie.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Are there giant ants involved?
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: No.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Damn it. Not interested. It's all downhill from here, then.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: I counted at least six buildings that would qualify for
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: Scooby-Doo-esque hauntings.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there was one right in view. And most of
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the time we were sitting at the table, we were like,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: there's got to be something spooky going on in there.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but we didn't want to go check it out
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: because we don't want to be rude and leave your wedding.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: And then the next thing we know, we see... It's
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: a little more Lon Chaney makeup on him. Or occasionally
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: you're a Pekingese, you know, whichever.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Like so much of this movie is not a whodunit
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: because we, in our minds, think we know exactly who
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: did it. It sets it up with not only the
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: brutal murder of a child right at the beginning. A
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: very brutal murder. But then also. You don't see that.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: On screen at all.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: That's why I was like, that first time I watched it,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I was like, whoa. In the 50s.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: You said that in a very weird way.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: When it's like.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Phillip has a new nickname at least. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Because it has.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Well, it has.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: On the place card, which I kept, it has my name.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I have mine. And then underneath it, it had.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: As long as Dick Miller shows up, I'm fine. Yeah.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: That's the biggest surprise. Do you know anything about the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: actress that plays the sister? The older sister?
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: I looked her up because she's really... She's very interesting
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: looking in her own way. And just the way she
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: kind of carried herself was weird.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I saw.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: And she tried to kill us because she said it
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: off in the woods. Oh, yeah. As we're coming back,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: it's dark. It's woodsy. Off in the corner, I'm like,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: is that a guy in a hockey mask?
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: It could be.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I think she was trying to get us killed.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying. Because so many of the settings were....
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Very memorable like the warehouses and even their apartment buildings
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: in the like priest house you're just there's a lot
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: of hallways there's a lot of stairs it's very like
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: they're these big houses but it's very cramped and like narrow.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: They spend so much time like not going into what's
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: going on because it's it's vampires i mean from the
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: cover of the box if you're in your video store
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: you're like oh vampires So like, you know, it's not,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: they're not hiding it in the way that they're presenting
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the movie, but in the way they're showing it to
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: you on screen, it's like, nobody got that memo. So forever,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: it's like, you kind of know this guy gets sucked
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: into this little group of vampires. And then it's like,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: they won't just tell him, like, just tell him the rules.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Like we know, like we've seen vampire movies.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: Just, you know, for the sake of honesty, I decided
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: to light one outside. And as I, you know, let,
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: ran it down the striking pad, the head of it
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: broke off, and flew into one of the bushes in
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: front of my apartment building. Now, I stuck around to
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: make sure it didn't burst into flames.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: That's not how I did it when this happened to me,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: but I was just like, I'm out of here. So
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: he'd always be like, I want to shoot it like this.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: And they'd be like, no, you can't do that. We've
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: got to put the camera here. And he's like, that guy.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: This was his thing. This is how he's like, every
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: time he told this story, he's like, so this is
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: what he did. He would dress up like a priest
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: and go and hang out at... Interesting.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: That is very interesting. Because there's so much Catholics.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: It's very Catholic. Oh, it's very Catholic. It's very Catholic.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I knew there had to be something. I knew
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: he had to have something.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: One, he wanted to.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Why is everyone in this movie so weird?
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Like every single character has something weird going on. They
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: really are. And I think a lot of it was
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: just who they were as people.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Harry has problems with performing in bed and goes to
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: see a doctor.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: The doctor sends him to a guru. None of these
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: things should have worked the way that they did. No.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: And that scene where they're in the hospital and they're
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: just screaming at each other.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: That was insane.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: There are other people in the room. Because she's just
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: looking off.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Like, she won't even look at her anymore. She's just
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: staring in the space crying. And her sister's screaming at her.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: And that poor woman sitting over there trying to eat Jell-O.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Shit, I should have paid for the private room. I'm
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: trying to take a nap. Like, can you take this
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: out in the hallway?
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Just didn't have an extra $ 45 to bump myself up
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: to the private room. Like, no budget. And like, he's
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: just like, well, I don't care. I want to put
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: in rain scenes. Like, that's part of what I'm making
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: out of this whole little world. And yeah, so they
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: don't have rain machines. They're poor. You know what they did?
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: And I think it was the last day they were
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: shooting in that chapel. And she walks out with a knife.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: She's one of those that, like, her whole life was
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: a story.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, I know.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: He's just like, he said, like, at one point she's like,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I've gained and lost fortunes at least seven times.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: That, like, she'd been a movie star. She made a fortune. Yeah,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: that was her in the 30s.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: And then, yeah, it's like she made a fortune. And then, like, again,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: she was at some point an alcoholic, lost it all
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: to drinking. At some point probably married some dude, stole
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: all her money. Like every decade a new thing would
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: come along and wipe her out. And she just kept performing.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: So maybe she's not of this earth.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: She kind of seems a little alien.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: She could have disappeared into another dimension of some sort.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It was just interesting.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: I was like, what are we saying about religion here?
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Are we saying that it's bad inherently or are we
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: condemning the people who use it to do bad things?
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I do know his feelings.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, what are his feelings?
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: So here's the thing.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, we thought it was going to be really bad.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed it.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: I enjoyed it. I was creeped out the whole time.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
