This is probably the most mysterious horror movie advertising campaign that I've ever seen... it makes the anticipation all the more terrifying!

I hate how all trailers are like 3 minutes now and they show you all the story beats of the movie
At 3 minutes I don't feel the need to watch the movie. Any movie
@@Roi_TFNI’d say its all these worthless business majors actually
I didn’t get it?
@@Roi_TFN *Idiocy. An idiocracy would be a political organizational structure that is arranged by idiocy, that's why Mike Judge named the movie what he did.
Look up trailer from the 2000 and backwards, almost all of the completly lay out the plot with voiceover...there isnt any "better before"
The fact that Nicolas Cage's involvement is barely marketed is a high level of confidence in their movie. I hope the film lives up to the trailers.
Supposedly his performance is awesome and terrifying at the same time.
Supposedly he is the woman
I don't think mentioning his name would improve sales... Remember his remake of the wickerman?
@@SyndicateOperative That was like 20 years ago. He's been in plenty of hits since then. His name certainly sells for a large audience.
Lmao. Cage has been in c tier movies im sure this one is gonna be different 😂😂🤣😭
I miss the days when the audience was included in the marketing of horror movies. Back when there were entire mystery arcs of investigation just to even REACH the trailers and nobody even knew it was suppossed to be about a movie: Cloverfield, The Ring etc. Wish more horror movies would bring back stuff like that. It was not only fun and engaging, but also elevated the horror since it FELT REAL. Hell: some of the maketing stunts were scarier and better than the actual, finished movies
I miss that too, but I also can't believe it was ever viable. Like.. you create mystique around the movie so that 2% of your audience will have a great overarching experience. Meanwhile the remaining 98% ought to be going "Wait, what's this movie? Have there been a trailer out for this?" My guess is that's why mysterious ARG-style marketing sorta went away. It probably turned out to be too narrow a strategy..
@@NorthernRealmJackalYou hit the nail on the head there. Marketing exists to multiply money and raise awareness. Those campaigns were so esoteric the overwhelming bulk of the people who watched those movies don't even know those campaigns existed.
Cloverfield trailer terrified me when I was young, and saw it in theater.
Bruh did you not see the smiling psychos at the baseball game? It made the national news. "Who are the smilin ass wierdos just standing there throughout the entire game staring at the cameras?" Security even had to intervene to make sure it wasnt some terrorist event. Anyways, they admitted it was a marketing campaign a few days later.
It was a market campaign for smile. Just recently. Cant remember which film it was, but some alien movie had the actor in the alien costume riding the subway all day. lol
I’m so hype for Late Nights with the Devil. A late night talk show serving as the setting in a horror is so refreshing to see in the genre.
I have high hopes for it
Very high
Alan Wake 2
Watched it last year - I really loved it.
@@user-ho9qy9bc7cwhich movie did you watch ? Late night with the devil didn't come out yet.
i do love when trailers don't tell you what it's about, but gives you enough info so you are intrested and confused.
Same. Mystery is a core part of horror, cause we are afraid of what we don't know Have seen some horror movie trailers that literally explained the whole plot and ruined the movie :0
Star Trek reboot and heroes
And then there's the trailers that are just a compilation of the best scenes in the movie and then you watch the movie and realize that you've already seen it in the trailer.
Same. I really hate when trailers spoil the entire movie and ruin effective jumpscares. Why reveal the best parts of the experience in the trailer???
That used to be the point. Now they're just cliffsnotes for the entire movie.
The most terrifying part of researching this film was finding out that Osgood Perkins, star of Legally Blonde, was the director.
whaat
Indeed a genious
Wtf
Wow that is awesome
WHAT?!!?!
Guy: "It's my daughter. ... It's not my daughter." Dispatcher: "Well, WHICH IS IT?!?"
Nah he's just quoting Shakespeare
Paternity test incoming...
only one way to find out.... bring the insides to the outside (as they do in movies)
Like Chinatown “my sister, my daughter, my daughter, my sister…”
Hijab girl?
that shot of the barely-visible eyes in the veil brought me RIGHT back to being a kid watching The Woman in Black in the theatre. scariest experience i think i’ve ever had. the way she’s BARELY visible in that hallway has stuck with me for so goddamn long.
Wow same here!! I too watched that as a kid and I’ve been forever scarred 😂 she’s all I can think of in a pitch black room to this day. Ugh, loving horror can be hard lol
A really good movie
They had a trailer in theaters where they panned to different parts of the movie theater (and us in the audience thought the screen was showing us😂) and then it stopped at the woman in black in the seat looking directly at us. Almost told my mom let’s leave the theater rn
@@Ranlou That's brilliant
Was the woman in black the theatre production or the film with Daniel Radcliffe in it ?
The concept of hiding scary elements in the movie and let the audience discover them by themselves is very interesting but I'm curious to see if that translates to an actual good movie.
Hereditary did this. You might want to check that out
Or more importantly, whether the movie does this at all
only if its not used as a main thing because a lot of people are genuinely blind or not observant so if that is the go to thing or gimmick it could be very bad for a lot of people. and when it does happen it shouldnt be anything nessesary to understand the plot so its genuinely rewarding for the people that do happen to notice things as an extra little bonus but not ruining the film or leaving anything out of understanding if something is missed or not noticed.
That is the entirety of Hereditary. I watched it 4 times and it was a different movie every time. You catch something unseen every time. So many clues that piece things together and make different parts of the story make absolute sense every time you watch it.
An old British movie Ghostwatch did this exquisitely. When you go back and see all the times that the ghost was clearly in the frame, lurking, creeped me right the f out.
For me, Hereditary was that movie. Even after knowing the plot, it's still difficult to re-watch without wincing.
Yup! Was looking for this comment
on the fifth watch i finally saw the kid hanging from the ceiling when she walks out of the room. Go ahead, try and find the scene, its REALLY dark but it's there.
same. the first half of the movie especially.
@@user-ob1fx9lp2lwhat are you talking about? Pretty sure the only hidden ceiling hanging is when he wakes up and his mom is possessed.
Hereditary = possibly the greatest horror movie of all time. Only The Shining is as good.
I'm glad you mentioned "Sinister." I'm an avid horror fan, and I've watched just about every top rated scariest horror movies, but Sinister was really something else. I have never felt that sense of being a prey hiding from a predator since The Exorcist. But then the second Sinister ruined everything. EDIT: Wow, I didn't expect so much feedback. But it's interesting to see how so many of us are on the same page - or at least in the same vicinity. "The movie wasn't great, but horror was well made."
I gotta watch it again cause 12yr old me was not impressed. Lol & I believe myself to be a horror fanatic, imma try again today just cause you convinced me.😂
Yea Sinister was the first horror movie to really spook me
the tapes in the film still traumatize me. Especially that lawn mower one, spooked the living hell out of me back in the day
The music makes in 10x scarier 😅
Sinister was fantastic until we saw the diety and he looked like the lead singer of an emo band. I wish they'd left it more vague and mysterious as to why the kids were doing what they did to their families.
The enhanced picture of the eyes in the veil seriously gave me a sense of deep and utter dread. It didnt feel like over the top special effects makeup or even mandela catalogue style analogue horror editing. Theres just something so almost naturally offputting about it
It's the uncanny valley. It looks human, but something is off. Evolutionarily, something or someone staring at you emotionless was a bad vibe. It's a very new and very old fear that really activates the B̵̨̹͓̗̖̳̈́̒̏͂̔̐̀̕ȃ̶̡̛̜͕͍̔d̶̡̖̰̿͂̀̈̂̈́̎̈́ ̸̮͑ͅc̵̨̢̛͕̰͑̑͗͐͆͠h̸̹͔̘͔͎͒̚͝ͅe̷̢͔̤̘̻͈̓̿͛̆̚ͅm̵͍̟͇̙̜̎̒̔͐͗͝i̸̟͍̝̍̃̿ͅc̸̢̩̙̜͕̦̝̳̋̑̀̏̈́ả̴̫̯͖̂̊̚͝l̶̦͔̣̥͈̦̼̇s̷̛̪͙̉̈
Did not like
They aren't even people anymore 😢I'm so serious , they are wearing skin suits....idk how they combined bio with android but we are all in danger . Please seek God with your heart for God is love. First John 4.8 ❤ shalom brothers and sisters
There's a picture of a black doll sitting on a bed that has an oblong, football-shaped head with an extremely dark face that has always scared the hell out of me for some reason.
As an adult, nothing has spooked me more than the subtle background freakouts of Insidious. Like the little kid who is hiding in a corner, that the camera pans past in less than a second. But you saw him. You know he's there. Or the demon that is hovering over the baby's crib, that you only see for a fraction of a second when the camera pans over just a tiny bit. Or the random guy who is peering through a window that you have been looking at the whole time but didn't see him until the director wanted you to. Insidious is loaded with those moments. Of course, this is all mundane now as all current horror "directors" have copied this style.
You left out, The Red Devil that pops out behind the back of dude’s head! I screamed and tensed up. I’ve never done that before.
You would love Hell House LLC
It was pretty scary up to the actual astral projection world. After that it was mostly like a haunted house were people are just trying to jump out at you. Thats kinda my beef with most decent scary movies. The first half is GREAT at building dread but then the 2nd half falls flat because they all try to go for jump scares and cheap payoffs. Only movies like The Shining, The Witch, Hereditary, and funnily enough the first Paranormal Activity (if you don't mind "found footage") actually manage to keep a consistent level of dread/creep through the entire thing. I won't front I was creeped the hell out by the ghosts flower footprints in ParaActivity when I saw it in theaters lol.
"the random guy who is peering through a window that you have been looking at the whole time but didn't see him until the director wanted you to" which scene is that? insidious is my favorite horror movie and i dont know if i missed something or its a scene i cant remember
The fourth kind terrified me, I still can’t look at owls the same. It sounds weird and the plot doesn’t sound that scary when you read it but it actually made me loose sleep after watching it. Nothing else has achieved that
Heck yes. Such a mostly unknown gem of a movie!
Was so damn good, I just wish they wouldn't have said "based on a true story" when it wasn't LOL. Feel like you shouldn't be allowed to do that
Omg ya i watched it in fifth grade it got me into horror but it also had me so messed up i had to sleep in my moms room for 2 weeks and i still have a lingering suspicion of owls
OMG I cannot watch that movie bro. I still don't know how it ends. I had to stop watching it once it got real serious because my mind just can't handle it. Its so unnerving.
I still have yet to see that but I've been wanting to. I just don't stream stuff at all, always been curious since I dream about aliens and stuff like that all the time
I HATE still Images in a movie. Not freeze frames, but lingering on still images. It doesn’t matter if it’s a horror movie or not, it scares me. There’s an Airbnb commercial that scared me so much I had trouble sleeping because of the still images in combination with a phone ringing. I HATE IT (and also love it) )
I remember that commercial! I thought it was an ad for a horror movie until the logo popped up!
A few weeks late but you’re the first person I’ve seen with this experience besides me! Even if an innocuous show freezes for a second, I genuinely flinch and get such a feeling of dread. I wonder why…?
this scares me the most when the image includes a head peeking around the corner
Wich one was it
You should watch Antrum. It's a shitty horror movie but there's a scene with a still like image where a demon just stares at you in the darkness. It feels unsettling until the demon smiles at you and you realize it was all a dynamic scene.
A lot of horror movies feel like they’re just scaring the characters, not us. And when they try to scare us, it’s a cheap jumpscare. Surprising, but not really scary. I want FEAR, I want a movie to make me think.
Because your not 8 anymore desensitised to it
we'll never experience The Blair Witch or Paranormal Activity type scares ever again. I was fortunate to see both in theaters. long before "found footage" finally became a thing. also, The Conjuring while not found footage was still one of the scariest movies I'd seen in a while. an R rating. no f-bombs. no nudity. no violence. just so unnerving it needed the R.
It's like the world is out of imagination..they just redo the same sht over and over no more originality just remade garbage.
It's getting your mind past movies being done because the chances of it keep happening especially in a modern technological world are prity high as people document everything . It's the same with creature features alien films and Psycho killer movies these are the stories man has made and they are events that happen so they are always interpretations of the same thing . The thing that's changed is there are terrible director's wokeism poorly executed putting the wrong people in for the wrong parts and female directors just for the sake of it.
Exactly what part of the Blair Witch was scary?
Trash Blair witch project and paranormal very shit movies go watch vhs or some
@@AA-ed6ek All of it: The way it was marketed, the setup, the buildup of dread, not showing the "monster" and relying on the viewers' imagination to create the terror.
That pic of the legs scared me more than anything else in this video. They look too long, then all the arms poking out. Ugh. Just freaking eerie. Great video.
IKR
It’s almost like it’s called “Longlegs” or something…
@TheDefiledShell Haha true, it's the title. But the stretched out legs still caught me off guard by how spooky they look in that pic.
Nearly as scary as my extremely pale , skinny and knobbly-kneed legs!
@@sirbarnabyst.johntoffingto9017 😱
Everyone should watch this hidden gem Argentinian horror movie Aterrados(Terrified 2017) and god it made me genuinely scared to death. Some of the scenes and situations are so realistic, unexpected and terrifying that it stayed in my head and I think I'll never forget this movie. What distinguishes this movie from other horror is the very convincing acting, creepy atmosphere and tension which is always present, and of course soundtrack.
The first "bath" scene sets the stage perfectly, the "guest" at the table, and the "visitor" during sleep, I love that weird, interesting shit. If you're looking for something by the same guy, When Evil Lurks is his follow up movie, that's very interesting too.
Terrified is the best horror film in years. Genuinely unsettling.
Bro. Watch “When Evil Lurks.”
Just watched when evil lurks recently and it was pretty creepy. I wouldn’t call it scary per se but it was def gross and one scene really caught me off guard. Two actually! Did not think they’d go there. Decent horror flick but the main guy is a real dummy.
Absolutely LOVE Terrified! Such a good movie! The undead kid was awesome, and the scared detective! Everything about it was so good!
There is truly something intrinsically creepy about slow zooms on old photographs or paused VHS footage. There's a horror mockumentary called Lake Mungo that nails this vibe perfectly. I highly recommend it, just go in understanding that its premise is to capture the feeling of one of those 'are ghosts real?' types of crime documentaries
The final twist of that film and i mean the final final one with the photographs gives me goosebumps to this day when i think about it. That film is severly underrated.
@@vgamepuppy1is that when the girl sees herself walking towards her with disfigured face through cam and that what she actually looks like when she died or maybe I'm wrong.
@@taktasahina4254 nah at the end of the movie they go back through the "faked" photographs and show that in those photos her ghost WAS there in a different spot out of focus.
Bruh, that's the nun from the conjuring
Thank you, I was wondering if I saw correctly
@@kikiTHEalienit’s not though
@@TimmySquibs Are you sure? It looks a lot like her/it
Or the Red Devil guy in insidious wearing a black veil
It’s just a generic demon face that’s been used a lot of times, I think he’s saying the subtlety is what makes it creepy.
Darth Maul in his goth years.
From teenage years to documented death
Funi
I thought it was gong to be about muslim rape gangs.
😂
I had the same thought that it looked like Darth Maul and I have never seen the star wars that he is in!
The last movie to actually scare me was hereditary
Yep, I like that kind of psychological horror. Watched that movie several times and noticed something new everytime, I was thinking about that movie loong after I watched it. It really sticks with you.
OMG YES. That's one haunts you for sure
The last horror "spirit" movie i saw. I literally stoped after. Im here just to read the comments to see if someone was speaking about hereditary, the video is in pause 🤣
Smile was also good one.
Amen
THIS is EXACTLY how & WHY “The Blair Witch Project” was such a hit! Me & my classmates were obsessed with the “evidence” online & the “documentary” (mockumentary)! We knew in the back of our minds that it was PROBaBly bunk, but it was all SO intriguing & plausible sounding! It made it SO much more scary! In fact, I contrast that to my dad’s experience. He never laid an eye on one bit of the lore propaganda, had scarcely even heard of the film before seeing it. Halfway through, he walked out & demanded his money back. It had absolutely no magic for him in the absence of the online & mockumentary experiance.
Oh it makes so much sense, I watched it a few years ago and didn't get why it is so famous, was very disappointed. I guess you had to see it then!
That image of the black blob in that room is genuinely so unsettling to me, like I feel like every time I turn around that thing will be there
this is like the silent hill 2 intro where you dont see whats really there until you brighten it
Hey baby
that director was also in legally blonde as the guy who reese witherspoon acted like he didnt call her back and she smacked him in the face in front of those other women who in turn were suddenly interested in him.
David Kidney! 😂 He had been deworming children in Somalia.
woah awesome
He’s an angel in Gary Busey comes-back-from-Heaven-as-a-dog movie Quigley.
He's Anthony Perkins' (Psycho) son. Very good director.
If you want a horror film to mess with your afternoon I'd recommend exhibit A it's a found footage film based in England around the earlier 2000's absolutely loved it and hated it since everything was very similar to my childhood, the decor, the relationships, the parental figures. Absolute chefs kiss of a film
Thanks so much for the recommendation for Exhibit A. Great movie. Love when people recommend something with passion. Very seldom disappointed. Only $1.99 to rent on Amazon Prime.
@@littlewing6231 I only see Squidward.
.
Insidious was laughable then and it is even more so now! I don’t understand people who are afraid of it.
I am 100% with you that movie trailers reveal way too much of movies nowadays. All I need is the title and the general premise. I don't need to be spoon fed ¾ of the movie before I ever see it.
It's a feeling of something lurking. Like realizing ur being stalked by a predator and having no way to exscape
2:25 i was high af and NOT ready for that. blood literally curdled in my veins.
Sht thanks for warning me!! Was about to smoke myself but I'll wait till after the video now lmaoooo
I’m high rn and I’m so glad I just saw this 🥹😭
@@dubulvrtoo late for me! 😭
I think you mean figuratively
@@aomoxomoa3658No... i wouldve said something else otherwise. My blood literally curdled into curdled cheese. Turned to dairy. Nothing but spoiled milk in my veins. 🙄
I would love your take on The Empty Man. It’s the complete opposite. Disney had no interest after taking over 20th Century Fox and marketed it like shit, and it’s one of the best cosmic horror movies of all time. The first 20 minutes are terrifying as hell, then you think it’s becoming a boring and predictable Teenie slasher, and then the real shit goes down. It became one of my favorite movies ever after seeing it once. Seeing it more often and discovering the little details hidden all over makes it even better.
The empty man is nuts. True
I watched it with my dad and it felt so predictable and boring at first until the sudden shift in atmposphere and the sudden bigger tension made it absoloutely terrifying yet interesting, very good flick.
I saw a trailer for that back when it was coming out and it looked like your typical slasher flick. From your description I ought to actually give it a watch. Thanks for giving it such an intriguing write up.
@@leerollins oh you are in for such a treat! It’s on Disney+ if you have a subscription
Instantly turned on all the lights in my apartment and I still feel creeped out after seeing that... should have gone to bed.
I have this exact same feeling, mate. Like, the feeling that a single shadow could be hiding something dangerous right next to me, and stuff 😖.
Oz Perkins... he did Blackcoat's Daughter, and that movie unsettled me for days.
My favorite horror movie
I loved that movie!
I just watched this! Awesome movie. Absolutely brilliant movie. I had no idea that Oz was Anthony's son. He's so talented.
And the wonderful I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In The House...
So glad you enjoyed that movie. I watched it with it being highly recommended, but I thought it was boring. Not my cup of tea
I know Nic Cage's voice so well that I can tell he's in it in the final seconds of the trailer where you may think its the voice of a woman but actually its him.
You just described all horror film trailers pre-1990. What a time to be alive 🖤
I am 50 years old and I haven't been scared by any horror movie since I was 15 years old. I enjoy them very much, but I'm just numb to them
That’s so sigma
Same. I think the awareness that it’s a horror film takes away the horror for me, if that makes sense. I’m conscious of the fact that it’s supposed to be scary so I’m like yeah okay, I’m expecting scary things.
Same here, as desensitized as I am to horror, it’ll always be my favorite genre. I wish a movie would come out that makes me feel truly scared again lol.
The only terrifying thing is spending eternity far from God@@paroxysm9112
hereditary didnt scare you?
Sinister was an almost perfect horror movie. It had it all, but the ending ruined it all with the supernatural stuff. Had it just ended with the dad being found murdered or someone finding a tape of his murder and leaving the murderer a mystery, would've been a thousand times more scary. The entire movie had some serious nasty serial killer vibes, and having a person, a psycho in a mask, be the 'monster' behind the killings is both realistic and WAY more horrifying than some devil thingy or monster.
I’m so excited for this. It gives me a similar feeling to when I first saw the trailer for Skinamarink. I just knew that movie would creep me tf out and it definitely delivered. I prefer horror movies that force the viewer to use their imagination because it’s infinitely more terrifying than anything they could show on screen.
The way i flinched when you brightened up the picture. Thats actually terrifying
For the first time KZhead don't recommend creepy videos after midnight. Im glad i watched this during the day.
To me, the scariest movies are the ones that made me not feel like I was scared until after the movie was over, and the seeds were planted in my head. I would say like Rosemary’s baby and Blair witch did that for me
Threads was the scariest movie I've seen in ages. It was real - too real - a warning about nuclear war. The scariest of horror movies don't really bother me so much.
Absolutely my kind of "horror ". Not spoonfed makes you do the work as your anxiety is ever rising. Thanks for this upload..
This approach to promoting a movie reminds me of how Alfred Hitchcock would promote a new movie he was making. Most notable being the original Psycho. He'd often appear on screen himself, greet the viewer and introduce himself... and start talking about the movie to them. But any time he got to a point where he might start discussing something "important" or "interesting" about the movie, he'd start to trail off, sometimes look as though he noticed something off screen that distracted or scared him before turning back to the viewer and just saying something to the effect of, "Well, let's move on shall we?" Effectively talking about the movie, without actually talking about it, and making the person he'd effectively be talking to want to know what it is that distracted and/or disturbed him that he'd so hastily move on to something else about the movie he'd like to talk about. Longleg's feels like it's doing something similar there. Telling us everything we need to know about the movie, while simultaneously telling us nothing at all about the movie. Leaving anyone that saw the trailers wondering what exactly the deal is and feeling as though they should seek out the movie proper for themselves to find out everything they aren't being told.
Dude , if you want to see a movie that will just give you the absolute creeps and a really unsettling feeling , then watch the hugely underrated Exorcist 3 . Fantastic acting and genuinely creepy as all hell.
Watch the director's cut, it's even better.
Saw it as a kid. Bored me..saw it again as an adult, and it put me to sleep. Tried a 3rd time last October. Finally finished it. And I really should have just gone to bed. It's more mysterious crime drama than horror.
I love that film. Saw it in theaters and have still not forgotten how it made me feel!!
The Entity 1980s is so under rated and although there have been many poltergeist films, I still find it very uncomfortable to watch at the age of 51. It’s probably also due to being based on a supposed true story!
Sinister is the same movie that came to mind for me as well … and I also had the same curiosity to find out more after seeing the trailers
Oz Perkins is a genius when it comes to atmosphere. 🖤
Absolutely. Blackcoat's Daughter, so good.
Everything he's done thus far has been absolutely brilliant !
@@jerikaljgdk Yup. It's a definite fave.
One of my all time favorite scary movies is The Autopsy of Jane Doe. That movie traumatized me!
Yes that movie was a little eerie.
I'm not a big fan of horror not because it scares me but because some movies are just the same with dumb jumps scares and gross stuff, but when a horror movie makes things in a subtle and unnerving way, oh boy. This trailer (or teaser) looked very creative and that shot with the black figure, i did not understand at first i thought it was a veil or the figure was looking the other side but when you changed the brightness i almost jumped from my bed, so creative, mysterious and just scary as hell.
It’s got Nic Cage and if he is in it I’m def seeing it
He's my fav actor
I will watch any damn thing that he’s in.
"Hereditary" and "the fourth kind" were absolut terrifying to me.
Saw this trailer bout a week ago instantly sent it to my horror movie friends. Don't know what it is but I want more.
Oh I can't WAIT for this, thank you so much for bringing it to my attention!!
Another movie that I still think about often is "We Need to Do Something" that movie wasn't even scary just disturbing and it honestly traumatized me for years.
I wanted to see what they saw behind the doorrrrr
Scariest horror marketing I ever saw was back in my review days. Anchor Bay brought out Dark Skies, and I received a series of postcards in the mail. Started out with something like "They Are Watching You." It was a series of four postcards, and if they'd done the mailing labels just a little differently, it would have been INDISTINGUISHABLE from some random lunatic who was stalking me. It could have been absolutely terrifying. In retrospect, I'm glad it wasn't, but it was still pretty scary as it was.
This and Late Night With The Devil have me hopeful that we are in for some banger horror films this year.
Not even halfway through this video and you said something about not seeing anything so creepy since Sinister. That movie haunts me! I mean, real, creepy chills and must look away moments when the dude turns his head in the still shot on the computer. It terrifies me and I can't even pinpoint why. The frame you just showed AR around 2:35 or so is the same way.
The exact way you're describing being genuinely uneasy of what's to come is how I feel about Demián Rugna's films Terrified and When Evil Lurks. He's a MASTER IMO. I'm really looking forward to this one too.
oz perkins also made the blackcoat's daughter, a very unsettling and great horror film. tbh insidious didn't really scare me as it's in the vein of your run of the mill popcorn horror, although i did like the score and it also had a kind of throwback feel which was nice. the witch however is truly unnerving and awesome. and yeah, you're right about the marketing being a potential filter for the audience. longlegs clearly isn't a jumpscare "horror" and the trailer conveys that perfectly. it's almost in the style of an oldschool viral marketing campaign, and harks back to a time not that long ago when trailers didn't basically show you the entire story arc of the film. alien romulus' teaser was also great in that regard, it's compelling without giving anything away
The letters showing up reminds me of Alien trailer🤔
Same!! I also thought like why did they pick this font 😅 gives more modern sci-fi than horror but we shall see 🤷♂️
Definitely a nod to “Alien”
Always loved your content keep up the great work homie
This was a very well done breakdown for Horror film genre!!
I suppose one trailer that unnerved me the most before watching the movie itself was Skinamarink. The atmosphere right off the bat feels unsettling and disturbing to me, with some audible voices being said, but you could barely make out what’s being said, while showing certain clips around the house while also only hearing the one phrase “In this house…” over and over again in a deep groovily tone, changing its pitch higher or lower just barely to make it more anxiety inducing. Until watching this video, and seeing that frame of just the black cloak over the persons head (and then of course people had the bright idea to enhance the picture to show there’s some demonic eyes showing through that cloak), that made me uncomfortable to look at, but still awestricken to just stare at it. Like…no words can precisely describe how to put it together, and personally, that’s what I like seeing. Thought-provoking words or pictures that leave you with many questions, and barely any answers, letting your imagination run wild on what this is all about. I love it.
Just because of the marketing alone for this movie it shot up to being in my top 3 most anticipated movies of the year and I didn't hear about this movie until the first short promos I just happened to come across on Facebook watching funny cat videos lol.
I am excited for this one! Thanks for doing the video, I potentially would have missed this.
I’m so excited because Oz Perkins directed one of my favorite movies ever - Blackcoat’s Daughter. I got the same vibe with this so am super excited. If you haven’t seen blackcoats daughter I’d highly recommend that to see if you like this style
Am I the only one that felt like they just saw a picture of Palaptines daughter?

To me horror needs to lean into the unknown more. Like truly novel, surreal, uncanny, hidden, all-consuming, trapped, and indescribable. Not gore. Not jump scares. Not stupid monsters. Like… I want to feel like everything I thought was real is false and there is no escape from a terror I can’t see, understand, or defeat. That’s horror to me
The cinematography looks good from the trailer shows. Looking forward to seeing if/how it is going to bring in elements of analog horror.
I think these kinds of horror movies are what got me into the genre. I love when any horror artist/director sucks their audience in without giving everything away. Horror should be something that leaves people wanting more. It should disturb/unsettle/terrify its audience, instead of making them say, "oh, I already know what happens."
Man I use to lose so much sleep when I was like 9 watching movies.. I rarely even jump anymore or get those tingly goose bumps. Scary movies just don't hit the same once you know what's real and not in the world.
That’s why I like psychological thrillers/horror so much: the human mind is endlessly inventive and undoubtedly weird.
I enjoy the mystery behind a horror movie. I like not knowing what’s really happening. A favorite recently was the Empty Man.
When I was a teen and first getting into horror movies, it seemed like every movie was the same : loud jumpscares, walking in the darkness, exorcists, old ladies with a ton of sfx makeup. I love the conjuring movies for example and I always though they were not scary at all but I loved watchibg them for fun. But now, horror movies... well, the horror is horroring and I love it.
I saw the trailer for Longlegs at the theater I worked at back in January and it was genuinely the most unsettling trailer I've ever seen. It didn't help that I was standing in on an empty showing, and even with the lights still on I felt so aware of how I was the only person there. Really hoping the movie lives up to the trailer vibes!
Not sure if I'm just not in a mood, but this isn't scary at all
Yea, I’ve seen the trailers and they scared the hell out of me but I GENUINELY did not realize the black cloak had a face in it. THAT scared me even more, that I was looking right at something and it was looking back and I didn’t even realize it.
I love creepy hidden things in movies and games because, you're right, having to seek them out yourself makes it creepier. Like walking off the path of the guided tour, without the guide. I keep trying to see suggestions on how scary ideas like this can be put in prose. I want to write book and I love these little details, but it's really challenging to write them in a way that doesn't come across as foreshadowing that's never fulfilled. Books, by design, put everything front and centre, after all.
I'm really excited to see this one, I first saw the trailer in theaters to see another horror movie and I just absolutely loved the mystery and the atmosphere
Possum movie trailer as well as the movie scared the shit out of me i still havent finished it
I saw a break down video of possum before the movie and I wish I had just watched it first I feel like I missed out on that experience definitely gives this uncomfortable feeling creeping up your spine and definitely one to rewatch once you think you figured it out I'm a sucker for anything you have to watch more than once to catch the little details and things you missed and it's a whole different experience the second time around

i can relate dude, I've been watching horror movies since i was out of the womb, and no movies have scared me, mostly unnerved, but these movie trailers are terrifying
I would’ve never known about Longlegs before seeing your video so thanks for that. Could end up being very disturbing and effective in the horror genre. Which is right up my alley
The fact that Nick Cage is in this… makes me sceptical of how scary it actually will be
since i've seen him in the color out of space i really get what you're saying
the fact Nick Cage is in this makes me wanna watch it at all. this type of insanity psychosis shit is perfect for him.
I turned all the lights on immediately upon seeing the exposed image
The first horror movie I remember watching was the grudge 2 (the American one not the Japanese one) and it got me hooked to horror ever since. The thing that I find SOOOO important in horror now is sound design, I remember when I was younger I wouldn’t close my eyes I’d close my ears bc the sounds or lack there of made the atmosphere more than what was on screen
Man, the normal photo of the family alone just gives us all the vibes!!! It almost speaks to us.
I’m genuinely curious as to how people/y’all feel when watching something and feeling afraid. When I watch these videos I think about how I feel watching horror movies and it’s mostly anticipation and excitement. Sure, I do feel some discomfort in some movies/scenes, but not fear. I’m engaged and ready for what’s going to happen, and then when something is « scary » I might have a quick scream but then I laugh because I’m enjoying it. However, the video about Gordy was unsettling and a little fearful because it’s absolutely happened before, therefore is realistic. Just a bit interested to see.
It's rare I feel this now but it's like a sense of trepidation. Like anxiety I guess, you worry something horrible is going to happen and you can't stop it but you also feel like you MUST know what it is. Like a weird mix of anxiety and curiosity. At least, that's with the build up of things, or like with these trailers. I think fear is slightly different, it's more of an immediate situation type thing, like being robbed or something. I don't think I experience true fear with movies but it can get close! Like, Skinamarink for a recent example, (and I know lots of people thought it was bad) really activated the old childhood fear of the dark. I found myself trying to see around corners, eyes wide, making sure I'd not missed something that could jump out at me. If a film is properly getting to me, there'll be physical sensations of thumping heart, sweaty palms, queasiness, and often giddiness!
I’ll never forget watching that diner scene in mulholland drive, it scared me so bad it gave me a heartburn lol
@@i-killed-a-man oh man, that's a good one. Genuinely terrifying!
The symbol that appears at the bottom of the page at 2:30 is the "Sigil of Lucifer". There is a definite occult theme here.
Mr Cage knows how to bring crazy into any movie! I've seen all the movie's he's been in, even low budget ones😅 I feel like he gets better with age... Or maybe the world's become so messed up that he seems more relatable❤
Wow! I loved your commentary about this movie and it scared the crap out of me, too! Subscribed!!!
I remember my mom telling me that Paranormal Activity was the scariest film ever when it was first released. I was like 8-9 when the first movie was released so yeah even the trailer spooked me immensely. then I saw the movie years later and it was just kinda boring.
I'm pretty much immune to horror films but PA did actually creep me out. Probably because of how "real" it felt.
I agree. I didn’t think it was very good.
Yeah, more power to anyone spooked by Paranormal Activity, but I honestly kept falling asleep through it. Tastes differ.
That film played on my mind for mths !
When I was a child I saw the trailer for “It’s Alive”. Freaked my 8 year old soul. lol
finding out this is directed and written by oz perkins made me excited! he has a great grasp on atmospheric horror from what i see of his works as a director!
Not giving a name in the business world is insanity, but in some instances, like this one, it’s actually brilliant.
Lake Mungo, Summer of 84 and Bone Tomahawk... still gets me when i think about them.
Lake Mungo... that scene... (if you haven't watched it before, don't watch trailers or read anything about it, go in completely blind)
Bone tomahawk is a great shout.🤘👏
I love summer of 84 and bone tomahawk..I'll have to give lake Mungo a watch..Super dark times reminds me of summer of 84 for some reason, if u haven't seen it, it's an alright movie
I was also excited when I first saw that “daughter” teaser too, I thought maybe this was gonna be a horror movie based on Skinwalkers but then they revealed the plot synopsis and it’s just a serial killer movie 👎🏻 I lost interest, I want creepy supernaturaI. I just don’t find serial killer movies scary
It's all in taste. I find Serial killer movies scary, because that shit happens every day on this planet. People can be worse than the darkest depictions of demons.
Well, it's a supernatural serial killer movie, so it's not your average crime thriller.
@@crumblingphilosophy9323 I believe in both God and the Devil, so that will not be a problem.
Insidious scared me for years. Saw it when I was 14 and I was scared to walk home from my friends house(literally across the street) xD the scariest thing for me was the “ghost smiling family” thatfreeze framed and then snapped to a different smile or frown. Shit was terrifying
YOOOO SAME. I went to the theater this past weekend and when I saw one of the trailers for this, it was sooo refreshing. I loved it and was very impressed.
Mine was The Super Mario Bros. Movie trailer
