Let's not go too-far, you have 50% chance they say "it's like a wolf, but bigger" 40% chances they say "it's a man but it has very long fingers" And 10% they say "it has the wings of a dragon, but body of a human, and the head of a octopus" What I'd really want tho' Is to see a monster designed by a bunch of zoologists. Imagine designing the perfect monster based on real-life equivalents. "so we're making the perfect hunter... It need the ability to smell blood and hear sound on kilometers like sharks... -what about giving it paralyzing poison to keep his preys from running away? Like platipus, and if it's a hunter how about giving it the feeding habits of a spider?, with a second much more deadly poison it use to liquidate it's preys to feed on them -yeha that's a pretty cool idea, how about also giving them.... " And the list goes on, in fact I wouldn't be surprised it's how they came up with the design of the Xenomorph in alien.

I feel you. One of my best friends was murdered and then the landlords of both my family business & my family and I's house are kicking us out next week. We are struggling to find places to except us on such short notice and having to move everything into a bunch of storage units until we get approved which is expensive and means we have to move a business worth of stuff and our house twice. I have a bunch of medical conditions and my dad had a stroke a couple years ago, so it's pretty much just my brother and I moving everything. I'm extremely worried that we don't have enough money to get first & last month + deposit on both locations. I'm not really sure what to do at this point... Little things like KaptainKristian uploading again after a long hiatus seem insignificant, but mean a lot to me right now to take my mind off of the stress. Just to have 8 minutes that I'm not stressing over it and in awe of his editing and subject matter means the world. I hope things get better for you.

Man you're the all-time GOAT of video essays and it isn't even close. Almost every other writer on this platform feels like they don't really have anything to say beyond "I like this thing." Your essays are always direct and focused; it's clear there's always something specific or special about what you're talking about and a core point or idea you're trying to highlight in the media you're addressing. And the beauty in your videos specifically is you're able to stay on topic and only ever mention what's necessary to make that point. You stay exactly on topic and never falter. It's like watching Olympic diving where no unnecessary movement is made; only the few small movements necessary to obtain the most beautiful and concise entry to the water. And that's what I absolutely love about this channel.

The wait between Kaptainkristian videos almost makes them feel all the more special, his editing style is completely unmatched and I’m so glad to see him talk about such a good movie. Been a long-time fan and hope he keeps up the incredible work!!

I've never heard of this movie, but now I might have to watch it. The passion you put in each of these videos really is contagious

Man, the ending of the vid hit me hard… I know I’m kinda late, but even if I haven’t gone through such horrifying things as atom bombs, I still had many traumatic moments in my life and I interpret them in my poetry, prose, and even drama I can’t just shut up about all the things I’ve gone through and the language of metaphors along with the stream of consciousness are the best tools I can use to make the reader realize what it feels like And my friends pointed out it to me many times, I turn ugly things into beautiful poems-because each of them contains a piece of my heart I guess: writing became my life, I can’t imagine my life without it anymore

Actually recommended this to someone yesterday. Absolutely insane film. Glad to see another upload from you.

Oh what a wonderful day it is when the kaptain uploads, editing is always just on another level as always

My girlfriend found this film with her friends a month ago, and then me and her watched it together. It's hilarious to see that someone has made an essay about it like 3 days after she discovered this gem

I wish you would upload more but honestly just take your time man. You're at the complete Apex of your craft. The quality of your videos is completely unmatched and a cut above everyone else it's just insane. It's always amazing to see what you upload next

I've missed you man. The movement that is "video essay" or "art related reaction youtube" started with you. Or a better way to put it is ever since watching your visual love letters in 2016, no ones come close to the experience Ive had with your videos. I watch alot admitedly but as great as some of them can be, what you do is wholey original and somehow finds a way to say alot more with a lot shorter of videos. Love you man

‘House’ is a wonderful movie: fun, funny, joyous, extremely creative and even quite sad and touching. I’m always in the mood to watch it.

WHOA! I can't believe he did one on House!! I'm so stoked this was your choice after all this time! Thank you!!

Genuinely one of my favorite movies of all time. So happy to see you cover this!

You make some of the most artisticly inspiring videos I've seen. The way you analyze art from how it makes you feel, the emotional core and inspiration for it, is just so interesting and fascinating to see and listen to. Always a treat when you upload

“we can reclaim our fears, traumas, and anxieties, and turn all those horrible nightmares into something loud, colorful, and beautifully insane” … hell yeah dude

The directors take on including Childress ideas in film really resonated. I like the idea that kids aren’t bound to understanding, so film is a perfect place for them to break boundaries.

i checked your channel recently to see if there were any new videos bc i miss your content, and I'm so glad there's a new one today! ur editing style and writing is unmatched

Glad to see you making videos again! You really opened me up to media analysis.

This was well said. House is one of my go-to movie night films when I know someone who hasn't seen it yet. Some people love it, some hate it, but it always gets a reaction.

Warms my heart whenever i see a channel bring up this film. Especially around the holidays. Doubly so when it's accompanied by such a familiar voice. Always a pleasure.

It's like christmas every time you release a video. Thanks for making such great work.

While I do miss the intricate style of editing you have, I always appreciate that whenever you upload an essay, it always feels like you have something to say or add to a conversation. Would've never found out about this movie for not this videos existence. Also, damn my man got bars around 1:05. Reminds me of the Dr. Suess video hahaha.

Good to see ya upload again, love your work

It’s lovely seeing you back

Your description of the meaning of horror as a genre is spot on. I realized the same thing after experiencing Omori (amazing game btw).

The nightmarish terrors I had in early childhood can be reasonably explained by real life trauma and situations. Before that time I had chickenpox, had that fever dream that made me scream louder and longer than I ever had before. From then on they often became so surreal I couldn't explain them to anybody. I wish I could have filmed those terrors inside of my head!

It brings me so much joy to see your videos, it's great you are back

So glad to see you back king, I never go too long without wondering when we’ll see your next upload

This seems like one of those horror movies that is amazing, despite being absolutely hilarious these days. Like how my sister and I absolutely died laughing throughout Nightmare on Elm Street.

Sometimes it’s nice to here others cope through trauma with horror art like me

One of my fave video essayist since way back in 2016. Just never disappoints with how artfully written and edited the video essays are.

Nice to see ya upload! Luv this film

Young girls eaten by a house(clearly a metaphor for patriarchy) is painful to see in a certain way. Whatever their personalities and potential, the only path left for them is to eventually become brides and be part of the 'house' as obedient wives. In fact, the actress who played Sweet in this film followed the same path and the marriage closed her acting career. This story may show the embodiment of a nightmare to most girls. I think that's why HOUSE leaves us unsettling feeling and doesn't end up just a crazy(which I love though) film. But there would be many different interpretations anyway.

My little sibling, who's really into film, showed me this movie. I never expected someone as big as you to cover it.
