 Hello and welcome to another edition of frightfully forgotten horror movies a special Halloween edition Yep, the movie we're covering today. We hope does get forgotten Swept under the rug forever, but before we get started. What are we drinking? We're drinking portafoy's paranoid porter Portafoy Portafoy back Jeremy back. You burned me Deliberately we just came back from the theater watching Exorcist believer there's a matter of life and death and let me tell you I'm a believer that this movie is One piece of garbage. We've pretty much decided to almost turn this into a non-review Yeah, it's not even worth reviewing people have reviewed it already So it's no big news that this movie is a complete piece of garbage It's pretty much across the board the consensus that it sucks. There's no point really reviewing it Yeah, just flogging a dead horse by this point. The funny thing is is We didn't even have to see this movie to know it was bad. Yeah, we already knew it was gonna be garb Well, even before the the trailers came out. We're like, oh, there's a new Exorcist movie coming out and it's being done by Blumhouse Oh What are they gonna have in it, right? We started calling off all the crazy shit that they were gonna have all the shit that they wouldn't have right? This is the underlying tones that made the original good Yeah, all the shit that they're gonna fuck up and all the we knew what they were gonna have all these little tiny Heartbacks to the original as well right which they they ended up having your cunting daughter Like it's got no relevance in that movie at all We predicted all that stuff even before the trailer dropped. Yeah, then the trailer dropped trailer number one and they were like yep That's exactly what we knew it would be and all the jittery shit like we knew like it's even before a trailer dropped it Like just the modern horrible shit It's just so funny where we didn't even have to spend our Hard-earned money to go see the movie to know it was bad And then we saw it and it was even worse than we thought it was gonna be much much worse We were laughing through most of the scenes in the fucking movie that weren't even actually funny It was just our sixth sense of humor There's more of a comedy than that goddamn horror movie was a fucking farce is what it was Briefly touching what we disliked about this movie before we go into the broader topic the sad state of Hollywood horror so first of all the The characters while there were way too many like you didn't need like ten main characters Yeah, that you couldn't even keep track of or care about there's not enough time to develop ten of these People that keep coming and going in the pacing Yeah, the pacing is if the pacing was odd in this movie because they took too much time Developing stuff that really wasn't necessary in the story Then they take too little time developing what is important in the story It's like I'll get your shit together. They tried doing a slow burn Failed miserably. Yeah, and then as soon as the possession happens the pacing picked up way too quick Where it's like they jump way too quick to the conclusion that these girls are possessed. It's like the first thing they think of Yeah, yeah, it's like they gotta be possessed. I knew they were gonna do that, too I knew it the constant in fighting between the characters to during You know what's supposed to be a sad time for one thing and for another you're supposed to be getting together to Try and find your daughters They don't get along because they're believers and he's a non-believer It's just a very poor way of making a statement about People not getting along because they're religious differences. It's a very poor way of doing it was It was poor piss poor character development This movie came out during the same time as writer strike writers don't want like AI taking over their jobs and shit this movie Seemed like was written by AI. It was like you just put in like some description and like oh The new exorcist movie is about two girls that get lost in the forest They come back and they're possessed and then Chris McNeil shows up and Enter and it just wrote this random thing that made no fucking sense But we want to touch on is a couple of things the state of horror movies today This is a blatant example of how this has to stop soon So exorcist came out 50 years ago and pushed some major boundaries 50 years ago. Yeah, and this movie could not Even come close like what it's 50 years later You can't try to top some of the things they did in the original Yeah, like the best you can come up with was some girl sing The body in the blood in a church. Oh my god like that. Oh, that's horrible. That's just that's Disturbing yeah doesn't even come close to Reagan stabbing yourself with a crucifix like if that's what you have to try to beat Didn't beat it yet. At least try This movie that was completely pointless and didn't need to exist. Yeah, and that's The main problem that's what we're going to talk about is these types of movies like exorcist believer The Halloween trilogy just came out. They don't need to exist No one wanted them and we don't need them and it needs to fucking stop because the state of Hollywood horror is Just so stale. It's it's a it literally is a fucking joke This movie just kind of cinched it up. Yeah, it's like this movies a fucking joke It's not saying anything. It's not saying anything new It's not speaking to people nowadays It's not scaring anybody. No, they had no scares at all and that's the way most of these new horror movies are It's just jump quick jump scares. Yeah, everything at face value Just so you can get a quick scare and then the movies over and then you walk away with nothing sticking to you Nothing to go home and think about yeah, which is what a good horror movie should do especially Stuff to do with possession Logical type stuff stuff to do with religion. They should be going home and like laying in bed and like it keeping you up at night Bothering you a bit or at least something to ponder. Mm-hmm. Yeah, this movie The only thing I pondered is why the fuck does it exist besides to make fucking money? Yeah, that's all it is and just to work off the back of the original. Here's the thing at this movie bomb Yeah, yeah and deservedly so this whole trend of buying up franchises and going to a fucking well Which is already bled so dry Yeah, what do you expect to get out of it? They wanted a trilogy out of this but hopefully the other two movies won't materialize hopefully We even called Blumhouse Studios after he got out of the theater and Beg them not to continue this Your phone your phone. It's a matter of life and death Blumhouse Studios Stop the production the sequels. It's a death of horror the board of millions of people don't you understand? The movie was a bomb. You got to take them out of production Say anything you want do anything. You gotta believe me the second sequel, please It's still in production. You got to stop it. You got to believe me the third sequel, please please There's no more time stop it stop it stop it stop it stop it stop Blumhouse had early successes right which gave them the fucking some giant head for all this stuff Right. Oh, if we can make millions of dollars on this why not This other franchise why not this movie and eventually they got too big for their britches Or they thought they could do anything Exorcist is one of those movies you do not touch or if you do you have to do it Differently you can't go back to that same well again. Yeah, you have to do something like Exorcist 3 did It's not do repeating the first movie. It's a continuation through character only and not through Plain possession. Yeah, it has to be done properly, right? And I think that's the sad thing is that like something like Exorcist 3 it didn't do great in the box office Because it wasn't an exorcist movie Yeah, the studio even made them put in that stupid fucking yeah exorcist scene, but now years later It's known as like the sequel. It's the sequel to the exorcist and it's praised for how good it is. Yeah Because it just doesn't repeat the first these main Hollywood movies that are just out to make the money Well, guess what you didn't make the money blow my house you shit the bed you wrecked a fucking legacy of the whole series Yeah, it may not even be another two Just leave it alone. Yeah, and fucking leave all of the other old Really good movies alone too because all you're doing is destroying the names of the originals You're not you're not moving these stories forward one bit You're just fucking stagnating everything the reason people think horror is so stagnant these days is because of movies like this because these fucking Hollywood movies That a lot of you know mainstream people who don't go and seek out all the other weird shit They just go see this stuff. Yeah, and they see this and that's what they think horror is. Yeah And this is not horror back in the day man like when the first exorcist came out It was a big blockbuster movie that whore. This is whore Blockbuster movies were good whore movies back in the day, and that's not the case anymore They rely too much on cookie cutter something to just hit people fast and hard and there's nothing behind it There's nothing. It's just it's like there's no legacy that these movies will ever leave behind besides being shit complete garbage and The legacy they leave behind is destroying a legacy, which is the worst legacy you want to leave behind Blumhouse Stop. Yeah, stop making these fucking shitty reboots and rehashes of Doesn't matter whether it's a beloved franchise or something that's fucking dead in the water or whatever Just stop make something fucking new for God's sake. Yeah Go to hell fucking Blumhouse. Yeah, it's time that we put all these Terrests exorcist 3 was in what 1991 90 1990 the other two exorcist movies, you know Dominion and beginning which was a kind of the same movie. They fucking bomb to yeah, that's the proof in the pudding Yeah, just leave it alone, you know I hate to say this to that exorcist 2 is actually a better movie than this new one and that's saying Oh It's a it's a it's a better movie just for the pure Enjoyment that you get out of it rather than this new one this new one was just a piece of non-sensical Garbage. Yes, the theme played at the end for the credits. We just burst out laughing because it was like It's like you there's like watching a naked gun movie and then the exorcist theme plays at the end pure comedy You're trying to make it all more epic and stuff with all these different sounds and shit like Fuck you guys trying to do you guys are so fucking full of yourselves. That's what it is Clueless and full of yourselves. Yeah, and that's a bad combo. I'd like to know who the fuck Okay, all this shit like what what executive was reading this crap and going. Oh, yeah As he was turning the pages up money. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah money. Was he getting engrossed in the story cuz how could you? Oh? Oh, this is great. This is fantastic. Oh, yeah. Oh, he's all stamping everything body in the blood gold body in the blood cold Anyways, we hate for our second Halloween special of the year to be such a downer. How could it not be? Yeah, I mean you can't praise this fucking no for anything so but next week We'll be doing something a bit more fun. We're gonna talk about how bad H2O is Another one if you want to hear us bitch more stay And keep drinking
