Aparently the budget was cut to Phase IV so the ending was a lot shorter than the director intended who wanted a sequence akin to 2001, as it stands it's still great and a quite an unsettling film

Phase IV is amazing for a film with such a premise, and if you search "Phase IV real ending" you get one of the most mystical sci fi sequences of all time (which the studio shamelessly cut)

If you ever see an interview with Edgar and Tarantino stop, sit down and take notes. Combined I think they know everything on film!

Out of these movies, I've only seen Apaches. That film was SCARY as hell (specifically the scene where the little girl dies after unintentionally drinking weed killer), and to think, it was made to be shown to children in schools. It makes American PSA's look downright quaint. Despite that, it's actually very well made for what little they had to work with.

C.J. O'Dell Public Informations Films always had that cinematic documentary style that leaves people cold and uncomfortable. Each of them always had that direction style that Don't Look Now had. I like PSA's, however they always felt like commercials. Films like Apaches, The Spirit of Dark and Lonely Water and Robbie make the majority of modern horror movies nowadays lame into comparison.

How does he have the time to watch as many films as he has? And then remember them all so well? Most famous Directors publish a Top 10 or Top 20 films list, he published a Top 1000 films list. Seriously where does he find the time to watch all these and still work on a professional level? I work full time but I really try hard to watch as many films as I can but I still feel like I'm 100 years behind Edgar Wright.

1000 isn't that many really, you'll find most big directors have seen several thousand films at minimum. That's a large part of their training, learning from great directors. In many cases, it's before they ever make a movie in that period when they have a lot of free time. For instance, I remember Richard Linklater saying he probably saw around 6000 films in the 1980s when he was between the ages of 20 and 30...

I second Four Flies on Grey Velvet. I was able to see this luckily. Very cool Argento flick. Its early Argento and uses a lot of the tropes he is known for, but is not as over-the-top. And its cool to have a drummer as the main character

I love Edgar Wright, make sure you go see BABY DRIVER while it's still in cinemas!! It's so good, esp on the big screen!!!!!!

Great list! I have only heard of one of these, guess I need to up my game.

I love your channel. Do you do or feature any indie work?

I've seen half of these, very good, but thank you as always, charming Eggdoor.

As soon as I heard him say "Who Can Kill a Child?" I loudly said YES. That movie has been a favorite for a long time and I want everyone to see it

i love this man. i can listen to him talk about films for hours. Please be my film lecture tqqqq

Phase IV - I've been looking for that title for ages - In the 90's I used to sample late night TV movies for techno music, and that film has a great 5-4-3-2-1 countdown - and I've been trying to find out what the film was called for AGES! Fantastic.

Great tips as usual from handsome handsome Edgar.

Love Edgar and his work. How many times does he say the world "like" in this interview?

Apaches scarred me for a very long time. We were shown it in school as kids living in a rural area. The paint thinner scene gave me a proper phobia of chemical cleaning products well into my teenage years!

That “Apaches” film was an urban legend in my school for years, many people had claimed to have been shown that in class but I think most were lying. I had no idea it actually existed.

Edgar, I loved your mid-nineties work with Walliams and Lucas that you did for Paramount Comedy. Victoria Wouldn't was genius.

@Total Film: 13:50 FYI -- it's actually really easy to filter sirens out of an audio track. You can use Adobe Audition for that.

when i interviewed Richard Stanley he said his fav. Argento film was also Grey Flies.

Who Can Kill A Child is absolutely The Birds (with children), and The Birds story by Daphne du Maurier is a reworking of The Terror by Arthur Machen, only in his story it's not birds but everything. Apaches? and the one with the Sports Day on a Railway Line

One of the best...❤️

Windy City Heat is the greatest comedy of all time, and yes Perry DID knock over the table!

This is great. U can tell he know his stuff!

I saw Phase IV on MST3K and I was really intrigued by it, all the sots of the ants are great and very artfully done.

Born to Fight is the only one I’ve seen. I bought it on DVD during my Eastern movie phase as a teenager, which pretty much started when I saw Ong Bak. Great pick, Edgar.

I'm not really taking in anything he says but I do like listening to him

I am probably going to spell this wrong, since IMDb suddenly doesn't seem to be working. But the director of LA RESIDENCIA (aka THE HOUSE THAT SCREAMED) was Narciso Ibanez Serrador, (this is what he meant about pronouncing the name.) He also made WHO CAN KILL A CHILD?, which is kind of a CHILDREN OF THE CORN-type film, (except it's on a Spanish island with no corn.) The recent remake was called COME OUT AND PLAY.

@FranOfTheDead

8 жыл бұрын

+Survivor2002 You spelled it perfectly (except for the 'n' where it should be 'ñ', but I bet your keyboard doesn't have that). Here in Spain he was best known as "Chicho" Ibañez Serrador, and for directing TV game shows, specially "Un, Dos, Tres" a really mithyc show in spanish TV history, but I always thought that he could have been a great filmmaker if he kept making movies. He also wrote (with the pseudonym "Luis Peñafiel") & directed a good number of episodes for the TV show "Historias para no dormir" and many of those were really good, specially for their time and (almost non-existent) budget. Worth the look. Excuse my english, I'm quite rusty. xD

Great taste!

"Yellow" in Italian. It's thriller/suspense genre with some specific qualities made in Italy in the 70's. Check it out, lots of good stuff there.

Whuhu, I have actually seen one of those movies. "Phase 4", it is really cool and kind of scarry.

thanks!

Dude starts with Phase 4 and I'm all "Aww, I knew I had a reason to be a fan of that guy."

I saw that Ant horror movie when I was a kid. It's very good.

It took me a while but finally i managed to track a copy of Phase IV that was not overpriced. I loved every minute of that film. It has a great premise, amazing electrónic music, psychedelic visuals and elements of nature documentar y which Is like almost everything i love. And it's only like 80 minutes. Thank you Edgar

I've seen Phase IV,Who Can Kill a Child,Four Flies,and The Apple.

My mum remembers The Apaches. She made me watch it.

This is the only list where I've never seen any of the films, the only one I thought I saw was Point Blank but it's not that Point Blank lol. Checking them out soon.

I've heard of three of them

I've actually seen one, Apaches. The Godfather & Citizen Kane of the farm safety public service film genre.

The plot of that Apple movie reminded me of Interstella 5555

Seen Apaches, heard of Who Can Kill A Child? Well done, Edgar. Well done.

I saw half of the first 6 (who can kill a child, four flies, The Apple) and thought it would continue that way just for him to mention 4 movies I've never heard of.

Windy City Heat is one of the best movies ever!

Damn. Jon Snow sure knows a lot about films

Windy City Heat is amazing.

I saw fistful of fingers at the edgar wright takeover in London. It was brilliant!

I saw PHASE IV just last year - pretty odd but cool. APACHES is available on YT - and it is pretty horrific.

reflection is very spooky...

i saw born to fight!!!! great movie!!!!!

You can actually find Apaches right here on youtube. Just type it in and it should be the first one.

yeah

Edgar Wright Is looking pretty John Wick here, before John Wick was John Wick.

What does "Giallo" mean?

you know he would have put a homage to Phase IV in Antman. fucken disney.

I want my hair to be looks like that.

He technically is the Star of a movie right

Phase IV is about super intelligent ants well that's a painful memory

Yes he is, in Marvel Phase 3, he is going to direct the movie.

I see where Xfiles got the idea for an eye of a murder victim recording their murder

I like italian horror flicks like fulci and such so I figured I'd watch Live Like a Cop, Die Like a Man. Having watched a few cop flicks by italian directors whose horror movies I can say while the gore and vilolence is good, the rest is eh. Feels winded to me. Not bad, just....the horror flicks have more soul and feeling in them, while the cop flicks seem like they were fun to make and such, and maybe good films to have on in the background, but they just don't translate as well as the horror flicks. Just compare Zombi 2 and Contraband, both Fulci, both good, but one is a masterpiece and one is a somewhat fun violent crime flick that kinda lags

Watch Edgar Wrights interview on his director award for The Worlds End Movie

Fistful Of Fingers, oh Edgar. You would choose your own film. Oh you.

I came here to see if there'd be any familiar movies... I am not sure why I expected that.

yep... I've never heard of them. he's better at his job than me

In the late forties early 50's I believe the Americans made a film for small towns about actual ways children die on farms. It has a horrific scene with a child jumping into a pile of hay from the second floor of the barn...he is impaled on a pitchfork handle..very Horrific, but happened enough film makers were paid to make a "don't do this" educational video..

windy city heat is the funniest movie ever made

Ha, Edgar is such a dude. I've only seen one, Point Blank, but I thought it was pretty good

Edgar Wrights One amazing movie I will never See: His Ant-Man

The Beadle abides.

Who Can Kill A Child is really good for people like me who loved the premise and atmosphere of Children of the Corn but were hugely disappointed by the elements of 80s camp and terrible third act that ruined it. I only discovered it after seeing the remake, 2012's Come Out And Play (which was critically panned, though I quite enjoyed it- however, I would definitely recommend the original a lot more). I saw the 2019 American remake of Point Blank with Frank Grillo when it came out on Netflix and it made absolutely no impression on me at all (to the point where I'd struggle to recount a single plot point now), but I'll definitely give the original a chance.

Point Blank is amazing stuff

Lol I remember seeing Born To Fight on the Ong-Bak special features

I'm the other person who saw Phase IV in the theater..

Born to Fight is the only one I've seen.

The movies are Phase IV, Who Can Kill a Child? Born to Fight, Four Flies on Grey Velvet, Live Like a Cop Die Like a Man, The Apple, Windy City Heat, Point Blank, Apaches, Fistful of Fingers. Good choices.
