 Digits, triple digits. There's triple digits and there's multiple single digits. Hey, welcome back to our stupid director's YouTube Corbin. He is a mother to it. Yeah, you're also Instagram. Twitter has more juicy content. Thank you for some Patreon. Follow us for your Twitter account, ring the bell. Today we're doing a movie review. Welcome back to horror. Well, Halloween horror spooky-ish month. If you're new here, it's so ridiculous. Obviously, not everybody watches every video, as we know. We've watched a Marathi horror film. We've watched Nassimese. We've watched two Hindi ones. We've watched a Tamil one. No, everyone knows we only watch Hindi movies. Yeah, so comment on last week's of, I think it was phobia. And they're like, are you only going to watch Hindi? I was like, we literally started with, we've watched more, not Hindi. Hey, shut up. You know, it's true. We do have, but today we watched a Hindi horror. We do have our stupid reactions, but we do have a lot of stupid babies. Yeah, but that are by the literal, literal definition. But yes, we're watching from all region. Well, not all regions, but we're trying to get to as many regions as we can. As many as we can. But yes, we watched the 1992 film rat. Not to be confused. You have to roll your Rs. 1980s band rat. You big fan of rat. No, but the song, You Spin Me Right Round, Baby Right Round. That was their one hit wonder. But I remember the music video, like there were four or five moments in my teenage pubescent years where some dudes were like really causing me to wonder what was going on with me sexually. Because the lead singer to rat singing, You Spin Me Right Round, Baby Right Round, on the way he said, Ah, I know you know your name now, baby. You look like you let me, you look like you're lots of fun. I was like, I do. I love, open up your loving arms, watch out here I come. Love is love, Rick. Love is love. Him, boy George. And then of course, nobody will ever touch Ricky Martin. I would actually be weirded out if I, well, a lot of people probably touched Ricky Martin. The day I would meet Ricky Martin, I would be really feeling very awkward because he's gorgeous. He is. And he's got such great charisma. But anyways, it's a 1992 Hindi film directed by Ram Gopavarma, who we've seen, I think it's two of those films. It's Kaun and Satya, correct? Yes. And it's also written by him as well, produced by him. Pre or post, Kaun. I think this is pre. Okay. I do believe because I think Kaun was 95-ish. And it feels like it when you look at the two films, comparatively. It looks like Kaun was more experienced later on down the road. But and it's also starring Rob Vathi. Yeah. Om Puri. Did you know that going in? I didn't. Me too. Which was cool to see. That was, yeah. I enjoyed that. Say this. Rohini Hatengadi and Akash Kurana. And a couple other people, but those are the main ones. Yeah. But it's a 1992, just horror, I think it's a cult classic, really, I think is what it's described as. Yes. But Rick, your initial thoughts, please. Well, I don't want to disrupt the people who love the cult classics, because there'd be probably many of you who, when you watched the Rocky Horror Picture show, might not like it. I didn't like it. Sorry, everybody. There's only one thing I liked. The fact that Om Puri came in in the end, I was like, oh, that's cool. Other than that, and I really did take into consideration timeframe, when we're seeing it, all of those other things, I just didn't, I never, none of the performances were anything. I just kept taking notes with the performances in terms of the acting and the story wise, I just was never interested. It just, I was kind of waiting for it to end because I wasn't enjoying it. So no, I actually enjoyed it. It's not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. I'm not saying that. And there are some performance issues, but I, for 1992, I kind of, and it's not the entire time, but there were some performance issues that I totally agree with you that were there. And the middle part, the middle part, definitely dragged some, absolutely. I loved, I actually really, really enjoyed the ending when it really started to get really weird at the end. But yeah. And I know it was campy and weird. It was supposed to be campy and weird. I actually, blue light flying away. I get it. I actually enjoyed this more than I enjoyed Count. Oh, wow. Not me. And I enjoyed, I think Satya's in a different league of both of them. Obviously. No, I would, I would see, I would watch Count. Count before you watch this one. I would watch Count again, but I actually enjoyed this one more than I enjoyed Count. Wow. But that's fine. You don't see it. You must have been smoking good weed watching this one. No, I actually, I just enjoyed a lot of the suspense because I give it a lot of grace in terms of, but it started out with a lot of suspense and kind of building up to what exactly is going on. Is it a ghost? Is it a demon? Is it a spirit? Is it a blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, whatever it is. And I think if it was made now, it'd probably be more like an hour and a half. But for 1992, a two hour film, I was, that was the 90 minute runtime for that. Yeah. So it was kind of already probably short for that day and age for not having a song in it as well. But yeah, I think the biggest thing is it definitely in the middle, it dragged a little bit in terms of it kind of just kept repeating itself of like, all right, here's something creepy that happens. Somebody turns around, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, all that. But I did really, I loved Om Pori, like you said. I thought he, you could kind of tell when it's happened in a couple films when like you're watching a certain level of film and then a legend comes on screen. It kind of happens. It's just the temperature in the Debra film. Yeah. And even though we love the Debra film and it's all great, but when you bring Naserid and Shah and we knew, we didn't even know him at the time, it kind of just brings up the changes the whole thing. They're acting up it a little bit, right? But yeah, so let's, let's talk, you see, what were your main kind of issues that you had? I just, I found the story to be less than engaging. It was like, okay, we're doing scary things, but I don't see any kind of a link between any of these things. We're doing scary things just to kind of be scary, I guess. I, even from like, sometimes our eyes were discolored, sometimes they weren't, to a lot of the acting things were, I tried to put it in the category of like DDLJ, like, I put it in the category of cow, even my notion that was, was over the top. Yeah, but that had a, that had a symmetry to it at least. That, that had, I felt, I think this had more grounded than it can count. I don't think it had, well, not all the time. No, as far as the acting is concerned, I would agree as far as the grounding, but that doesn't make up for it just not being good acting. It just seemed like everybody was either very inexperienced or came across as an experience as far as the performances were concerned. I didn't find anything to definitively engaging in the dialogue or the script. I didn't find anything particularly interesting in the characters that made me care enough about them. And I didn't find anything particularly, I saw the attempt for things to be scary, but it, nothing for me ever made sense other than we're going to try to be scary. Well, it didn't make sense for you. A lot of things, even with the way it ended at the, at the end, it just was throughout we have the sound of the whispering breathing thing in the window across the street watching. We have the cat returning from the dead. We have sounds happening that people see and then maybe they see something in the corner and then they don't see that in the corner. And then she has a dream. Is she dreaming? Maybe she's not dreaming. And I was trying to, you know, if you watch, if you watch the first nightmare on Elm Street, it's, well, I laughed when we first saw it the first time anyway. But if you go back and look at it, it's pretty bad. And I was consistently trying to just give it grace and I just couldn't stop thinking to myself, it's just isn't a really good movie at all. I'm not, I'm just not liking this as a film. I just don't think it's a good movie. That's all. No, yeah, I actually, the part you can talk about, I didn't think there was anything that was quite confused. I thought that he was trying to do stuff, which for 1992 I thought was really, especially for Indian cinema, that hasn't really explored the horror genre, almost at all. This was one of the first ones. It wouldn't surprise me if you saw the exorcist because there were some things he saw her doing that I thought, okay, we're trying to emulate what Linda Blair did. And I don't think it was trying to be just a copy. No, I think it was inspired. I actually think it took inspiration from the exorcist and I think it took inspiration from Nightmare on Elm Street. I think it did take Nightmare on Elm Street inspiration. It's clear that the Johnny Depp's first film. Yeah, it's true. It's clear. That's why this isn't one of those things where I would just go off and say, this is awful, awful, it was awful in terms of I didn't enjoy it. But like, for you saying you enjoy it, I enjoyed it. Yeah. Okay, that's, I'm glad. That's one of those I'm glad you enjoyed versus like if we were talking about boyhood, if you said you enjoyed it, I'd be fighting you, you know what I mean? This one is one of those. If it floats your boat, that's cool. But for me, I just didn't grab me off. I did give it a lot of grace for the time it came out, just like I did Count. It's a very different film because I think Count is a lot more campy of a film. Consistently campy. Right. Yeah. But I thought Rangobal Varma did a lot of stuff. He did a lot of steady cam stuff, which was pretty new for India at that time in terms of him exploring that. I think he, because he did a lot, I think with the opening shot was all steady cam, right? It was really interesting in this, right? In this, yeah. Okay, so one of the things I will say, which is why you, it's, I feel bad when I say I don't like a film when it's obvious there was a lot of effort put into it. So for example, that opening, the opening shot when the town, when she gets off the bus, it was a really cool transition that I know they wanted it to be as smooth as possible, but it went from a walking shot to what I think was them getting in a cart and pushing it because it kind of bounced a little bit so that they could move quickly and get to the next thing and time it as the bus came up. And that's for the day, commendable. The attempt for that is really commendable. It just, there wasn't enough of those things to even give me something to say, this is worth watching for the technical aspects of it. I thought it was suspenseful enough around like, I don't think it's a 1992 film. I'm not saying it was a frightening affair. I actually, just when stuff happened, I was like, oh, that was cool. And I'm sure at the time, especially in Indian cinema, which a lot of them haven't, hadn't seen a lot of this before. Sure. Maybe they hadn't ever seen the Exorcist or had never seen whatever. I mean, you haven't seen the Exorcist. That film. Yikes. My take on that one is don't. You'll be freaked out. That's my take, especially if you're offended by anything that's like, if it, yeah, it's, it's, I will say this. It's well made. Yes, it is. It's a very well made film. But yeah, man, if you, you know what the part's the biggest part for me in that? Well, you don't like demonic stuff. I know that. And, and just that one moment with the crucifix. Yeah. You know what I'm talking about. Yeah, that's tough for me. I also watch the Exorcism of Emily Rose as well. I want to see that actually. Yeah. And I actually, because of, because of, in drawing, I've become a better appreciator of the horror genre. And even like we've watched some things recently that did include the demonic. If it's a Ouija board, forget it because I personal experience with them and I don't want anything to do with it. But as long as they're not glorifying to the demonic, if it's depicting true stuff about the demonic, then I'm okay. Now I've really grown in that regard. Thanks to which is something I, I, I, there, she's right behind the camera. If you didn't, uh, the, the end part, which you know, you can like or not like, obviously Empore came in and I enjoyed, yeah, but I enjoyed the campiness, especially the, uh, the Indiana Jones melting of your face. That was exactly what I thought of. Which I loved. The Indiana Jones melting of the face. And obviously the, the, the dual split of her to show the duality of her. For the, for the time it was. For the time I get it. It was, it was real fun. I, I hold nothing against it for that. In fact, I can appreciate the same way you can when you watch, when you're watching Raiders of the Lost Ark and the faces start to melt. It's so obvious that it's, it's such a wax model. It's such an old school tactic that, that, but it's so fun to watch. Cause it's like, that wouldn't happen. By that point for me, I was genuinely just looking at the time on the thing going, are, are we done? Cause I'm fried at this point. I just want this, I just wanted it to be over cause I was not enjoying myself. Um, but would you, well, what about, uh, sorry, Empore, I wanted to talk about Empore. Cause obviously he was definitely the strongest actor of course in the entire thing. And he, he was the only strong actor for me. Um, I thought, yeah, I definitely, I wouldn't say any of those were strong. I'd say some were good and some were good at times. Um, for the, I think that's probably the most part for most of them. Some were good at times. That's probably the best you can give them. Yeah. Yeah. But I think I knew that going into the horror month, we're not going to get a lot of amazing performances at all. I don't think. For the most part, outside of maybe newer ones like, um, bull, bull, we had some good performances in that one. Yeah. Um, but that's newer, but if you, especially if you're going older horror, sure. I almost doubt we're going to get some amazing performance, but it got pretty close with, um, um, Empore, he brings such a presence just like necessarily Shaw. When we, when we, I think they were in that, um, Vichals, right? When they, they were playing, um, yeah, they were playing the, they were part of the three in the car. Yeah. Of the, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, of the Othello one. Yeah. Um, no, Macbeth one, right? Is it Macbool? No, it was Macbool. It was Macbool. Yeah. Um, but yeah, he brings such a weight to, to his character and he also didn't talk much. He doesn't have to. Once again, if you're, if you're a great actor, like you just bring your presence and it's just like, I, it was like a splash of cold water on my face. I, I was kind of just at that point and blazed over. And when his face appeared, I went, oh, I became engaged immediately. What was your opinion of the score? Because I thought at times it was really good. At times it was a little too over. Um, but once again, for 1992, I just assumed, but I think for the most part I, I, it added to the suspense for me. See here's, that's the thing for me is like there were times where I was appreciating the work. Yeah. I knew this wasn't just phoned in. I knew this, I knew a lot of attention was done to it. I could hear it, but it wasn't good enough for me to become engaged and enjoy it. So that's why it's hard. It's kind of like it, it's comparable to like going to, and this isn't always the case, but let's say if you go and you see somebody who knows play and you really want to like it, but you just can't lie because it, it just didn't live anywhere near to your expectations. And you're not going to tell people this suck. Don't buy a ticket. You're not going to say that, but you have that sense of, I wanted to like this, but I just, I can't be disingenuine. I see the effort. I see the work that was put in and I don't want to, and if someone likes it, that's great, more power to you. But for me, I just, I kind of, this was bored most of the time. Yeah. I think if I was read, like, I think you could actually take the original version and cut some stuff off. And I think it could be hour 30, hour 45. A lot more snappy because I think that's one of the things that was missing in terms of the, especially the middle part was they needed to stick to more of the spooky element to, because the long you draw it out, you're not going to be at in suspense that whole time. And so that takes away, especially from this style of film. Obviously, I'm sure, like I said, if it was made now, I think they would have done that. Just like, bull, bull was was it with hour 30, right? Right around. Yeah, about, yeah, because if these films are usually about that, because you need to keep people engaged and in suspense most of the time, to keep them engaged to these style of stories. And give me something that makes me go, either what was that or why did that happen, versus for me, when a lot of the things took place, I was like, okay. Well, you got the ending though, right? I hope, well, yeah, I did. It was the mistress, and she was. Correct. Yeah, she was the one who, yes, and she was the one that was possession and haunting. She was the one who the murder and I, I was waiting for that, but even with that explanation at the end that did kind of tie up all of the loose ends. I wasn't throughout wanting to know what's going on. I was more like, do we know what's going on? I don't even really care what's going on. Like, okay, she was in the movie theater and now there's nobody there. Okay, that's weird. But that it didn't scare me into, okay, so was that another dream? Was that, and then she has the dream and the hands are, you know, and the thing and I'm, I just, I, it never was one of those things where something happens. And I think, huh, and I want to find out what's next. It was just these, almost felt like these non sequiturs, these little standalone moments of, did that scare you? Did that scare you? And I was, for whatever, for whatever the reason is, I just I didn't enjoy it. I know, he's an idiot. But I would actually, in terms of Ramco Bovarnas, I would put it Satya, Satya is like up here, way up here. And then like, if Satya's one, this is would be 10. And then I would put down just below this. Yeah, I'd watch them both. Again, I enjoyed both. Interesting. But I would, I would watch this one before I would watch County. Well, it might also be because Manoj annoyed me so much in that character. Yeah, no, I would watch, I would watch County. Yeah, I figured you'd go Satya down and then yeah, Sat's count. Satya's isn't even the same converse, as you know, in the same conversation as these two. But as a pertain to the ones we've seen so far this month, I need to take a different trajectory now come back up to where we started because it kind of done this for me now, like to get back up. Well, you liked it better than pizza though. But we had them back to back. Yeah, but you liked it better than pizza. Not that much. You didn't like it better than pizza? Not that much. Yeah, you're crazy. Anyways, let us know what the next spooky film of the month should be down below. Please make it spooky. Your expectations are way too hyper. It's true. It's like Indian horror. It's like when I wake up in the morning, I expect the sun to be shining. That's a weird thing. You have to know where the country's at in terms of a certain genre. Yeah. You can't just have your expectations that I can't even think of the scariest film. Get out. You can't have your expectations there, especially for 1992. Well, that's not where they were. Anyways, let us know what the next spooky film of the month should be down below.
