 You've dropped that thing a few times so am I mine looks exactly the same Hey welcome back to our stupid reactions, it's I'm Corbin his phone is like a joke it cracks us up It's a crack. I don't like it. And you can also And today we're doing a movie review We're kind of doing a lot more spooky movies, but He's a per and time constraints caused us to not be able to do that sadly well And there's not a whole gamut to choose from no not a ton But we want us to do more and we know there are some more but Time constraints apologize, but we want to do at least one for Halloween. So happy Halloween Happy Halloween everybody to at least to the people in America celebrate as best they can I don't know how many people in In India are celebrating Halloween or do I don't think they've even really do any Honestly, they might be Americans and yeah, maybe a little little tiny pockets of it But no whereas in America, it's It's according to like dollar amounts. It's like second to Christmas, isn't it? Yeah, but it's a movie We actually wanted to watch for a long time And the Manoj Pashpayee, but it's down the 1999 film Psychological thriller which is fitting for Halloween very fitting description and we wanted to a film like that It's starring Manoj Pashpayee Umilia Umilia Matandekar who we also saw in Satya and then and Shushant Singh Yes, there's Shushant Singh Rajput and then Shushant Singh, okay, but yeah, it's a three-person film, which is great But it's directed by RGV Written by Angrad Kashiya and Yeah, it's I heard a little bit of a cult film Makes sense. It initially wasn't received well and then became a cult classic Yeah, one of those types of films and I'm guessing this is quite early in our GV's career Probably and obviously as well as Manoj. Manoj, but under just four of you came out in 1999 Yeah, I'm sure you have seen it. If not go out to come back. It's a short film But anyways, Rick, your initial thoughts. I can absolutely see why it's a cult classic Why people love it as such I think some of the things that it has as failings as a film in terms of technical aspects are actually campy and fun now as a cult Like Rocky Gore Pictures show is not a great film, but it's a cult classic that everybody loves. Yeah and I was really pleased for a psychological thriller. It got pretty bloody at the end. Yeah, I I enjoyed this film I'm obviously there's problems with the film, but I'm not sure they were trying to make a perfect film I think they were trying to make a fun psychological thriller Which the concept wasn't around a lot in India at this time And I got to say my favorite thing about this movie is the concept itself is fantastic The idea that it's her the whole time. Yeah is a great twist. I Yeah, for the time in India since there's there's not a lot of horrors in India No in Indian cinema, especially at this time as early as it was right and a lot of good Thrill thrillers from what I've heard. There's not a lot. So on your kashi up in our GV I thought did a very good job at coming up with a creative idea and also our GVs He didn't waste any time and getting into the story. No, but it was no there was no buildup It was like, okay, it was almost like an acting exercise It was like, okay, right you're home alone, right and you hear about this murder on the TV And now you're just paranoid, right somebody comes to your door Go That's essentially for a while what it was. It's a very simple story I think everybody can relate to it, you know, you're home alone, especially being young Which is always a scary thing for a young girl home alone. It always sets up. She's vulnerable Her imagination is gonna start running wild. That's a great scenario. Um, I I want to applaud our GV for the amount of I didn't I don't know if it was on your kashi up or our GV or the actors They came up with kind of the weird quirky characters and the way they did One I want to applaud Monarch first way again. Yeah, he is almost the definition of a shapeshifter if like at the beginning when we started reacting to Indian cinema and we watched let's say Alegira or whatever it was, right? And then we watched this I would not be able to tell you no that was my knowledge by you from that He's a shapeshifter and I think he gets the award For the most times ever in cinematic history that somebody says ma'am say take a shot every time he says But I don't know if it was all three of them kind of did a collaboration or if it was written this way Like they were all very quirky. Yes, like he is a very quirky weird character that he you know And it was written well because I first when he came in you're like, okay He keeps coming to the door. He keeps coming door. He's clearly the killer Right. He's the killer trying to get a killer trying to get into the door and you almost like this girl Okay, if you let him in you deserve to die. Yeah, she did so many things that I was like, okay You're such an imbecile right now. Why are you interacting with him? Why aren't you calling the police? Why are you letting him watch TV through the window with you? You deserve to be murdered. Yeah, that's what the entire time I was like, okay, she's just gonna die. Right. That's fine We're gonna watch her retort her and run around the house and like I would say I enjoyed this film Yes, it has it has issues, but I would totally if this film was on TV I would sit down and watch this film. Yeah, and it's one of the it's just a good I can't be there was campy good and it was there was some good scares It was yeah, it's a good jump scares like there was some good times that like it caught me by surprise Yeah, when I think she was just was she in the mirror or something and then those hands just came through the wall There's the front door. It was oh, yeah, she had she had finished with the front door It's same with it was very creepy in a great way I had no way expected her to look down and see a room full of people just looking over. Yeah And I'm guessing I was trying to figure out those people she murdered. Oh That's a great. I didn't know because that's a great thought because I don't know if she is Schizophrenic right or if she's like possessed right if this is just her right and that was one of the things that It was a really quirky choice The how they the at least the murdering part of her mm-hmm that they made her it's almost childlike. Yeah, and like And so I was like this clearly is a choice that they wanted to make Like she's like a murdering child right it doesn't know. She's a murdering child because I do think at the beginning I Think I don't know if she's schizophrenic. Yeah one more personality disorder. Yeah one apart doesn't know She's right a killer and that part of but then at the end like she turned at the camera and did that obviously the creepy smile I was like Okay, was she just acting or she and they didn't answer it and I like that that's that's I want to applaud them There was I think a lot more good. Oh way more good. Yeah, it's it's I think a lot of its challenges were actually from the time Obviously the same we sucked out. It's the camera quality wasn't as good Yeah, and you know the time in India obviously not as it there was there was no template for this No in Indian cinema. No, and I do think they wanted the characters like for example, there's I just like It's noticeable at the at the end when among other things I'm using this as one example when Manoj is trying to get away from her after he's already been stabbed in the back and As you see from the far away shot the back of his shirt is completely white There's like there's no blood on the shirt even though he just was stabbed with a butcher knife in the back It's actually kind of endearing It's that kind of campiness again like Rocky Horror Picture Show. Yeah, same thing with the beginning I was getting irritated. I was looking for believability at the beginning which I'm always looking for and When she's interacting with this guy, I'm thinking there's no freaking way Anyone's gonna do this even an idiot. What and then when it turned I went. Oh, yeah Yeah, she would do that. Yeah. Yeah, so it's like it's one of those things It's like especially once you get to the end and did you how soon did you call it? Um, my wife called it very early. I Called it when Not until The third guy showed up Once he showed up and it was up for grabs That's why brain went Inner X gonna really pull a fast one up. I bet it's her It was it wasn't until the third guy showed up like I said, she's the intelligent one Yeah, she's she can call movies like so fast But like it was the time when the rock was thrown and I was like, oh my stars. Yeah, I was like, okay I was at him because I was like is it my knowledge? I figured it was my knowledge on the window He threw the rock and it was he said it was yeah, but she was like or she did it and She's it and she's like and she also said with the cat. She was like, I think she killed the cat Well, we obviously knew that happened later, but the reason I didn't think she did it was because how could she have done that? She would have had to have set something up to beforehand. Yeah, she called it boy early. She's wow She's the she's the intelligent one in the relationship, but yeah, so it was I thought it was a really fun Psychological thriller that fits the Halloween theme that we were going for yeah, because I think it kept you on your feet And also at the end, you know, I thought it was gonna end multiple times like after a month I came right and I came back right which again is straining credulity, but the fact that he did come back I actually it got to the point when even after he fell down. I was waiting for him to be downstairs again At some point. I'm like this all bets are off and I'm gonna happen. I was trying to figure out so she's just staying there and She does she know all these people are trying to meet this guy I don't know that she knows they're trying to it's just she go from house to house. No, I think she's just there and Until somebody figures out he's not showing up and people are coming to the door to meet with him maybe she does that from house to house and stays but There were it got to there was a point where she's just sitting there and she's swinging her legs back and forth as she's sitting With the rain and Minaj is dead and the guy down beneath her is dead And you realize that the other guys in a carpet in the house dead and the kittens dead And she's just sitting on the house in the rain doing this. I thought this is frickin creepy. Yeah, and it was I Don't know if I'd like to her like the choice of her doing that much childlike But it was everything else was my knowledge was very campy and very eccentric Yes, ma'am like and I got annoyed to shit with my knowledge I got it. That was the point. That was the point. That was the point and then when he did a phenomenal job But I was annoyed. I was like, okay I was annoyed with her too. Like she I don't know how many slices of bread. She cut for herself and and her reactions to things were so over the top that I Only the first 20 minutes of the film were really annoying I'll write up to where he made her that she made him the sandwich and he's going on and on and on about how great the cheese sandwich is My I'm thinking to myself Killer already. I just you're really annoying me stop calling him ma'am and why is she talking? I was so annoyed at that point. Yeah, once he got inside In fact, the probably turning point for me when I went, okay pure campiness Let it go. This is gonna be a fun ride was when he took the spear and she thinks that he's Chasing her with it and hands it to her because I was waiting for the proverbial shooter drop I'm waiting for him to be the murderer and killer But when he handed it to her I thought Either he's playing really big mind games Or maybe he's not the killer and that's when I went from annoyed to really like yeah I'm enjoying trying to figure this out and then when that other gentlemen a sushi Came in and you're just trying to figure out because okay I know you're not the cop right because nobody called the cop no one called you don't look like a cop No, like you could have just flashed your badge or I don't know what they have in India But he doesn't look like any cop I've ever seen And then it turns out he's just a thief Who just happened to go to the house to rob it. Yeah, and Which was why was he at the front door? He's gonna knock in yeah, you're gonna have to rub it out So tell you but it was funny because you knew that he wasn't the murderer because They kind of because at the beginning when they said there's murder he just murders. They don't steal, right? They specifically specifically said he's a murderer. He's not a thief. He doesn't steal anything. Okay. They said he's a thief So I'm guessing he's not the murderer And so it was I thought it was really well done in terms of the writing and keeping you like for there was obviously a lot of Stuff that could have taken you out of it, but it didn't And that's why these kinds of films are fun because they're they're campy Yes, these are types of films that get called classics. Yeah is because if you go back Have you seen Halloween like the original Halloween in a long time? I think I saw it for the first time a year ago Okay, I saw this Halloween for the first time in a long time and you realize like back in the day when Halloween came out It was the scariest thing out there like Mike Myers scared the crap out If you just started playing on the piano People be like, whoa It's a campy movie now. Yeah, it's just a campy fun scary movie that you watch and you're like This doesn't scare me, but it's fun to watch and there's a couple of jump scares. Yeah Yeah, yeah, so I thought I did a good job. It fit what we wanted it to I would yeah It was very fitting. I would totally like if this was on I would totally sit down Absolutely watch it. It's just it was a completely fun ride and I would like to see I I'm impressed with RGV I Like the two we've seen from him now and I think obviously Satya is obviously one of his cinematic cinematic best best But I know he has tons company Rangila Rangila and so many more especially of his older stuff apparently his newer stuff is not as good Yeah as his as his older stuff, but obviously I want to see more from him So let us know what his next film of his we should watch and of course anything But by anything my knowledge does we want to see and anything that you can lead us into whether it's in the campy realm Or it's in the legit realm of horror like And not campy like as much as we live street I'm talking like legit Haunting of Hill House kind of stuff or well. There's one shining or there's one of Perry I remember we were acted. I think that's a Yuska Sharma. I think it's an Yuska Sharma Par I right Perry par and I think I think you said in the thing is like if it's demonic I'm not interested. Yeah, I don't want to say anything about that But I think I don't think it is but I know that's one. I think he does a lot like When I was looking up for for Halloween Like Roz or something like that are a Z or a Z or something. Hmm. Well, then trying to get there. He has a lot of credits Okay, here we go. Oh rap RAT RAT. I so I saw another thriller. I think it's like a horror thriller. Cool Let's see in I think there's more I and not by him as well I've heard pizza, which is I believe a Tamil film There's a bull bull Yes, yeah bull bull, which I think under a country up road. I think you should karma produced again. Okay, I think People said that and so there's there's a bunch Well, not a bunch, but there's some it's just I think a lot of people are varying the opinions on opinions on How good of each of those are yeah, because a lot of people from what I heard like India Hasn't mastered the horror thriller yet, right? That's what they say not what I say. I've only seen one or Or at least hasn't proven like what are the how well do the films from Hollywood do in India? I don't even know if there's a market for the horror genre in India. I think everybody likes horror though Yeah, for the most part I would think they do it be well done. Yeah, but obviously for the masses, right? Especially that like the big Bollywood films, right? It's probably not their cup of tea But anyways, any old happy Halloween. Yes to those who celebrate not a lot of trick-or-treating going on No trick-or-treat smell my feet. Give me something good to eat
