I was surprised you didn't mention House of Leaves in your video. The movie completely ripped off that book's concept of a house that measures differently and acts as a kind of hell for its inhabitants and anyone who knows its secrets. Have you read it? You'd love it.

There’s also a quick dialogue where Theo and Suze talk about how neither of them picked the house. How they each thought the other sent them the listing. More evidence on how the house picks you.

I am so glad someone else noticed that. Personally, I think Stetler originally planned to trap both Suze and Theo before the fight. I know for the Christian belief you’re basically destined to go to hell if you don’t repent your sins and ask for forgiveness. I know Suze never outright said she was sorry, but she did admit to the affair and showed remorse at the end when she said she wanted to work things out. Theo, on the other hand acted like he was a victim and never accepted what he did up until the end, even going as far as not recognizing his crime as a sin

I didn't see the movie, but from the way you explained it, Stetler sounds like he represents purgatory, rather than hell. So he probably isn't actually the devil, but something that aims to 'purify' the soul. Just a guess, though. I remember that the angel of death from "Click" did a similar thing, and it was ultimately to teach a lesson.

So ig the house is hell. since theo never repented.

I mean if that happened there would've been no victims ever. Penance has nothing to do with admitting, it demands more of you. Yes the punishment outweighs the sin, but this reflects life in general. I think that would've been unsatisfying. Yes him escaping is the "happy" ending but that goes against the purpose of the film. He has made a mistake, now he has to pay for it. Edit: That's my take away from watching this video I, by no means, have seen this film. But that is what it seems like to me. Letting him escape would be a betrayal of the purpose. It's above him, it doesn't need to be complex. You sin, you're trapped forever.

The implication is that the wife committed suicide, and whilst he had returned home and witnessed this and that she was still alive, and he had the chance to save her life - he didn't. He leaves the room and at that point he becomes guilty. It's such a minor crime though. Here's the actually built of law it relates to: Section 323c Failure to Render Assistance Whoever does not render assistance during accidents or common danger or need, although it is required and can be expected of him under the circumstances and, especially, is possible without substantial danger to himself and without violation of other important duties, shall be punished with imprisonment for not more than one year or a fine.

Honestly, if the house was explained in detail how it worked then the movie would have to be about the house. Also over explaining ruins horror since the horror is in the unknown

I wouldn’t feel guilty at all. If my partner was disturbing my peace for years to the point of hatred for him, and he decides to mix alcohol, medication, and a hot bath one day….he’s a grown man, who am I to stop him? I wonder if he had no guilt, I wonder would the house be as effective?

Maybe the house is a type of entrance for the river of Styx, and stettler is actually the ferryman Charon, helping the souls cross.

Stetler as the devil makes some sense as if you go away from the strict Christian idea the devil is typically a trickster who likes to play games. As Theo is the only one that has taken a life in the film the devil may have singled him out because of his tainted soul. Yes Suze has a lover but she, as far as the audience knows, has yet to commit adultery in the purist of senses. Ella is a child and thus still an innocent Stetler may not be interested or allowed to take the souls of those not already doomed to damnation.

David Andersson im not shocked at all lol. i mean, bigger on the inside than the outside hasnt been done often before. i dont think its a coincidence if im being honest.

I just looked it up and Stetler or Stettler is derived from the surname Stadler in German; the root word being Stadle, which means ‘barn, granary, storage building’, hence a topographic name for someone who lived near a barn or granary, or an occupational name for an official who was responsible for receiving tithes into the manorial storehouse. Maybe this etymology is meant to show that “Stetler” takes offerings in the form of the residents souls, or Polaroids, to maintain the manor and as a Stadler can never leave as a result

Here is my only question, but it's a damn good one: If the main character ended up staying in the house at the end of the movie....then how could the house be available for rent again at the very end of the film??? Does this imply that the main character took his own life out of guilt as did others before him and it is the spirits of these people living in the house? How else could he live in the house and the house be rented to other people? If anyone has insights on this, please comment. This is the only part of the movie that left me confused.

@juliakercsmar6587

2 жыл бұрын

i mean the house changed itself at will and you'd never run into the other 'residents', but my guess is that only he's soul stayed, the whole journey is a metaphore for taking ownership of the things you've done/gone through.

Carl Jung would refer to Stetler as the shadow/the unconscious. Eckhart Tolle would call him the pain body/unobserved mind. He is the ego/the self. The story teller. The guilt ridden time traveler living in the past. Or the anxiety tortured time traveler living in the future.

I liked this movie and most Blumehouse movies even Fantasy Island

This reminds me of Triangle. It will be up to Theo how his redemption goes once he quits fighting the process. He made an unselfish choice in letting his family escape and he took responsibility. He's already on that path.

To me the house represents a test, with Stetler being the test proctor. If the souls of those who are being tested are able to confront their sins, they can be at peace. Since Theo is able to be honest about what he's done, and he even chooses to stay alone so that Susanna and his daughter can leave, he's able to finally ease his guilty conscience. His confession and acceptance at the end of the film wasn't terrifying or panicked. Instead it seems somber/bitter sweet; that he is willing to accept judgement and stop running from his guilt. I feel those that continue fear from judgement or lie to themselves are the ones who are trapped in purgatory shown as polaroid's on the wall. Also, with the ending narration of "Some leave. Some stay", I took it to mean the people being tested, not necessarily Susanna and his daughter. This interpretation helps explain why I don't see Stetler as the "Devil", and why he allows Susanna and Theo's daughter to leave, instead of trapping whomever enters.

I just luv your sense of humour so much

The movie looks better after the description ! great channel !

I think Stetler may be an angel. Due to the number of chances he gives his "victims " to repent. The house may be evil but Stetler seems separated from the house. Basically, my theory is that the house has become the final testing ground for potentially dammed souls. Those who confront their demons and repent get to leave, the others... not so much. My reasoning for this is that the shopkeeper says: "Some people leave, some don't " Maybe the townspeople interacted with some of those who were allowed to leave, and came to realize the importance of Stetlers work, hence the whole town being in on it. Kind of a -"If that house only eats evil people, who am I to stop it?"-type of rationalization . Just my 2 cents

I feel the movie would have been better as more psychological and less horror, like the house has some sort of supernatural power and acts a sort of purgatory where you have to repent for your sins or whatever is eating away at you, and all the strangeness in the house - Stetler, the changing rooms, the time travel, the Polaroids - are all manifestations of the mind of the person that needs to be cleansed.

What was his purpose?, was he the devil?, if so why did he want him to find peace? , what the point was of the Shopkeeper & the old woman by the car?. It could have been done, alot better.

But they don't know that the house only kills the bad people. No where in the movie, director even tries to say that the house made by devil. Director just shows that the people of that village relate it with devil.

My reason for saying this is that the Grim Reaper is supposed to collect soles and bring them to their final resting place (in this case the house). The Grim Reaper in some cases like the Ferryman from Greek Mythology is supposed to guide people down to hell or their final place of resting. The Grim Reaper not only guided our protagonist to the home, but helped him cope and lay to rest his past/past self.

This movie is good from both a subjective and profile standpoint. The film incorporates several super deep foreshadowing moments that make no sense(until the end), comparable to the sixth sense. Also the conflict of trying to start his life over and having it torn away from him is a huge symbol of punishment. Bacon was the best actor for this, keeping his stagnant calm self. The house represents purgatory! Not hell! This is in fact the angel of death not the devil. The frustration of being lost in time is a description of a lost world. It’s a world to serve penance not to endure pain and suffering for the sake of suffering. Rather to endure suffering to learn the error of your ways. It also enhances the idea of Good samaritainship. The devil wants cold blooded killers while God wants good samaritains, Bacons character was neither of these people, he was a healthy middle, not causing the death but not doing anything to prevent it . Showing the house is purgatory an indescribable middle ground of the two. Get over it, it was a good film. Was it portrayed in the best way? No it wasn’t. Neither was Star Wars, or Divergent, or passengers, all good stories but bad filming techniques resulting in a split audience. Star Wars got amazing reactions but it wasn’t filmed correctly and had some plot holes. Imagine if all movies could be perfect. This one is far from it but it does have an amazing showmanship of showing someone the error in their ways.

Best notification ever . Nice

With all these "facing your shadow" themes I expected someone to talk about Persona

The devil isn’t just evil, he is but he isn’t just evil to everyone. The devils main job is to pass judgment. He can’t hurt someone who isn’t evil inherently

i know this is late but also in the movie you can see how the house chooses people by watching when theo and susanna are arguing while theos making dinner both of them say it was eachothers idea which shows that the entity sent both of them links to the house

Oh wow I was wondering why he was disabled. That explanation at @8:43 👏 well done!!

I cannot wait for the sequel they're making called You should come here.

Stetler is an anagram for settler...the person who settles in the house. The house can warp time, Stetler is actually his future self after an untold amount of time, driven to even more madness, it is his own personal hell.

lol it feels like Blumehouse just shotguns a bunch of movies every year like here's 15 movies and 3 are good hahah just throw a bunch out there and hopefully the couple that are good pay for the rest

They should have dropped the scene at the beginning or made it a shadow and definitely modified Bacon's voice (which has a very unique and memorable wraspy timbre that we've heard in a million movies for years) because that just gave the whole thing away to me. And they should've put more time into the house or town if it was that powerful a place or at least it's look. It just looked like the director's friend was a realtor and gave them a show home to film in for a couple of weeks. I did like the whole trapped in purgatory/time loop effect and when the interior began to get weird it had a nice Navidson Record vibe. And in some versions, the devil is more about just punishing the wicked that collecting as many souls as possible (i.e. the show "Lucifer").

agree. i was very sure it was gonna be a 'confronting your issues' kinda movie because of the nightmare scene.

I love how some parts of the movie seem to take inspiration from “House of Leaves”, it’s such an amazing book

All of the Footloose jabs are hilarious.

You know "Bread of Heaven" is the national song of Wales, right?

6:06 Simple solutions are a rare treasure in fims nowdays. When I saw the film I didn't notice that the is the angle in the ruler what's "wrong", not the wall. Brilliant. And brilliant acting, the three of them.

Imagine being trap in that house with Kevin Bacon! You can learn all the steps in Footloose!

How can you explain this amazingly?

Wait, this whole video makes it seem like it's a good movie. Everything you described seems super cool.

I enjoyed it, for what it's worth

Any plans for a video on The Order Season 2? Looking forward to your thoughts on the ending.

I love that most of the stuff you said, i also though while watching it ! ❤

Great 👍 review ! Now I don’t have to see it ! Lol I do love Kevin bacon . My fav of him was in tremors and stir of echoes !

If I'm not mistaken, the mythological figure of what could be considered the devil didn't just take souls. He took guilty souls in some stories. As those were the only ones he had right to. I wonder if this is an allusion to one of those type of stories.

This movie left me with more questions than answers which I never like in a movie. Why did he let his wife die? If he wanted her to die, why is he feeling angry and guilty? What was wrong with their marriage that he should have left? Did he just end up killing his self in that house? How did he know staying in that house was right instead of raising his daughter?

Yeha

People tend to forget, but Kevin Bacon actually made some pretty AWESOME horror-movies - "STIR OF ECHOES" being among my absolute favourites (ALL-TIME favorites!).

Yessssss absolutely love that movie

I literally just watched the movie because I wanted to hear your take on it! All Hail 🥓!!!

Irony, he feels guilty about letting his wife die and not saving her. The people of the town also knew he was going to die and did not try to save him...

Wow a ending explained already, I thought I just started to see the trailers on KZread 🤔

Kevin Bacon also starred in Hollow Man - based on The Invisible Man - where his character says: It's amazing what you can do when you don't have to look at yourself in the mirror anymore.

Can someone explain why at the ending it is now dark when we see his wife and daughter leaving the house and they look back? (Daughter sees his silhouette and says "there's someone in the house") Remember it was broad daylight when his wife came back and he confessed to her what happened and they seemingly left. How did it suddenly switch to night? And who is the man that is with his wife and daughter that said let's go?

One of the hardest working man in cinema.

The moment i saw the warning on the notebook i already knew this was gonna be one of those "your future self warning you to get out" type movies

Some silent hill type stuff!

Stetler can also become settler. One of its definitions is a negotiator that settles disputes. Stetler is settling a dispute of Theo's emotions.

It’s a good movie. I’ve watched it 2 times already . My acting coach trained Kevin Bacon. Great actor

I just had a bacon sandwich 🥪 😋

I didn’t like this movie at first cause I didn’t understand the ending but now that I get the ending, I loved this movie!!

I was left at the end going WTF. Interesting concept, but took forever to get to the point and once it did it was anticlimactic and underwhelming

This is exactly how I interpreted it ...except for the 'let rest' bit... and I totally enjoyed it. No regrets here, I thought it was well done.

At the beginning of the movie when they are driving to the house, ella asked if theo will die before suze because he is older, then he said, "not if I can help it," which could possibly mean that he was mad at Suze for cheating on him and he thought he could eventually kill her

I was a bit thrown off and caught off guard when the voice over said “daddy loves you very much at the end” 😭

I have not seen the film but was interested when I seen a clip and watched basically enough reviews and roundups to gather my own opinion. So we know Kevin’s character is plagued with guilt that he didn’t step in to prevent his wife’s suicide or that he didn’t leave her before it came to that. It’s mentioned in the film that the house usually finds the people who need it or they find it. Perhaps it isn’t a bad thing but a chance for those plagued with guilt to repent for their sins whilst also gaining some sense of relief. The startled character although seems like a devil character seems more like the manifestation of Theo’s guilt and im sure the house is the entity and startler is different to every victim simply because it is them. It’s their shadow of guilt they have carried into the house that is allowed to be unleaded within that house, that forces it’s real world counterpart to deal with. I can’t really explain the time jumps. Only that Theo was trapped in a loop from the moment he stepped into the house he just didn’t realise it.

Really liked the footloose references.

0:09 You didn’t have to say that wasn’t Footloose 🤣

Did they really need a vacation home that big for just the 3 of them SMDH

I kind of think that the house is the abyss for all who are either fighting with guilt and Stetlar is more like a Ed(super ego) like you mentioned ......I think the guy just drowned in his own guilt (the house ) coz he couldn't face and resist his Ed (stetlar) coz he was hiding it and he was feeling and at the end just like the suiciders he also gave up coz he said, "I cant do this anymore" ......he just gave up and left his wife and kid that he think he didn't deserve , embraced his guilt and went into the darkness like any depression patient ......he could've fought it though but he just gave up ....thinking he deserves the punishment and not a second chance

I just read the novella that this movie is based on for class and decided to watch something about the movie out of curiosity. Here are some differences i noticed if anyone is curious (SPOILERS FOR THE NOVELLA) 1. Not really important but they literally changed the daughters name. Her name was Esther in the novella but she's Ella here so idk. Also Susanna's lover's name is David not Max. Minor details 2. On the topic of names, Theo literally does not have a name in the novella. The entire story is told from the perspective of his journal entries and he never actually says his name. I just call him the narrator honestly. It written in a style called "stream of consciousness", because it's literally just his thoughts, which i think lends itself well to the story, which could have potentially hurt the storytelling in the movie 3. And I think that's why they added the heavier religious elements and the murder of his ex-wife. In the novella, there is no murder, there isn't anything to atone for. Theo was a screenwriter and he is looking for a house to work on the sequel to his most successful movie (it is literally a romcom called Besties, which i find so funny, it's such a stark contrast to the vibes of the story). Though it still has the line about neither of them actually sent it to one another. 4. Like i said previously, there are a lot less religious elements. the house was said to be built on the grave of a tower, but it's also not super clear, because the clerk also says it might've just been a wizard, so idk. Stetler also isn't a major character, i think there's a brief reference to him when Theo/the narrator is talking to the store clerk but he literally doesn't show up once. Overall, the novella seems to lean much more into the idea of reality not being as easily perceived as we might think. Time is all messed up, angles aren't adding up (which in the novella, it's just that the angles of a triangle he draws don't add up to 180, though there are rooms that disappear and reappear), and towards the end the narrator insinuates that he now knows *why* this is the case and that it's because there's is another dimension/angle that isn't visible but is there that hasn't been taken into account. this is why he can exist in two places at once and why time doesn't make sense i would highly suggest reading the actual novella, it's very good. I'm not into horror (i read mexican gothic ONCE and have sworn off horror), but i think the novella at least is less horror and more just a thriller. Very fascinating read (im actively procrastinating on doing assignments FOR this novella, so thanks for giving me an excuse)

It reminds me of a mixture of What lies beneath and Secret window 💯
