yet another horror movie where i would’ve just killed myself
i realllllyyy wish the empty man was the creepy skeleton in the cave and not generic robed figure #45 with extra fingers
This movie is like if you combined Buddhist Madhyamaka philosophy and Nihilism with a half understanding of both.
99.5% summary, 0.5% explanation... WTF is this?
Hate how the took ancient wisdom and mixed it in this BS cult shit.
This movie was like The Ring and Hereditary rolled up into one.
That’s azathoth
Just watch hereditary instead.
Wow after watching this video I still don't get it
The Empty Man just came out on HBO and horror writers are reacting to it like it's new. I'm like, Found Flix already summarized it months ago.
What was up with the 6 fingers??
“ I grew up in San Francisco “
I still think the Empty man is just so parasitic entity probably not from around earth that feeds on human consciousness. Notice it effects people regardless of belief such as the 1995 girlfriend killing her friends after 3 days. They made that man believe he was nothing so the being could possess him. Regardless if you blew on a bottle or not the chance that you may be harmed or even possessed by the entity is all a matter of thinking (Time + Concentration = Flesh) another concept to used to overtake his weakened mind.
now that’s a plot that needed explaining
this movie was so confusing it just made me so mad
I hated the revelation at the end. Kinda felt like something a high schooler came up with
This movie is about meme magic. It's how we got The Don elected in 2016 boiii!
So basically wanda maximoff is this group's mother.
The part I don't understand about this one is how much of the movie actually happened. Did they manifest the whole story up until he reached the hospital? If not, how much of it actually happened?
SORRY BUT NO!!! This movie was STUPID AND NEVER EVER REALLY GOT TO THE GOOD PART. Nope stupid stupid stupid movie
Stupid movie and I just can’t finish this either. This dude is right. Just to much stuff and the movie was confusing and we still don’t know what we’re supposed to be so afraid of
And apparently San Francisco is a really zhitty place to go up
I still don't understand
If I was James at the end instead of shooting empty man I should shot myself
I don't agree it's all over the place at all, I think it's confusing on purpose especially given the main characters perspective gets very unreliable even to himself.
????? you didnt even explain the endinggg???

Worst movie ever made
lots of hype about it. It was alright and had some moments of creepyness and the first 25 minutes were quite thrilling. The lead was real good but it was ultimately was quite overrated. Don't get me wrong. It's relatively unique, especially by modern Hollywood standards. But... It's just a okay movie. 6/10.
A solid 3/10
Yeah watching this at 3 in the morning is not a good idea. I will watch it later.
Huge shout out at the 8:40 mark. Look in the background and you will see a La dispute poster. Very good band
This movie sucks
Get.on with it
Could you just imagine if it turned out this was a low-key documentary? 😅

All I remember is that he’s from San Francisco
But where did he grow up?
Claim your “I saw the movie and I’m so fucking confused” ticket here
i thought it was a short film, i stopped after day 3 with the group in the mountains....lol
Advertisement: “I’ll explain the movie!” Reality: Some idiot just describing the film shot for shot as though we watched it blindfolded.
i feel like they could have come up with a better monster costume than they did. the rags are okay but with a name like “the empty man” they should’ve done something like a “deflated” man with loose skin or something. would’ve been way scarier.
Wait huge plothole if James is only 3 days old how did that detective recognize him from years in the past as an undercover? And all the officers didnt act oddly toward his presence just as if he was crazy.
This whole movie is essentially paranoia agent.
I watched this just to see if I missed anything and perhaps this was just a film I "didn't get" - this was not the case.
I love your work man this blew my mind. Are you looking forward to seeing demonic?
I absolutely despise the nothing exists but our mind philosophy. It's so infuriatingly stupid
Just watched it.... Didn't like it at all.
Thank you for the video. But there wasn’t much explanation just a recap of the movie
This guy criticizes the runtime of the movie and then goes and makes a 34 min video that could easily cut 31 minutes of fluff and summary 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is more of a Cliffnotes run down of the movie than it is an "explanation".
That Night scene where the fire turned off and was running after him! HOLY SHIT
So intense
This movie doesn't make sense
Not sure if it’s your style but I would so enjoy a competent breakdown of “Them “
This SCP shit ...... I love it
The prologue was great. Like a movie in a movie. Great movie!!!
I don't think they actually manifested him at all, that was a false reality they created in his mind by breaking him down. That is the meaning of the line about repeating your name until it's gibberish. His trauma was real and necessary to complete the ritual, they just needed to mould him into an empty vessel through 'gibberish'. That's also the significance of the scene where he sees himself on the gantry - that is him accepting his new role in their reality. They used triggers like the bottle repeatedly, and told him he was the empty man, until he became the empty man. Plenty of other symbology such as the shaven heads and repeated mantras of the cult also hint at this being the true meaning, imo.
I like this interpretation. The death of his wife and son seemed to be presented as real, so I can't fully commit to the idea they only existed as false/created memories.
This channel is perfect for me considering I fall asleep halfway through movies at night LOL
Was I the only one who consistently seen frog face from stranger things?
The bad reviews were only from 13 people. Sorry but I dont trust reviews. And I think that everything from the transitions to the 25 minute prologue were amazing.
Loved the movie but you didn't explain anything.
Scariest thing about the movie is that i watched it.
I just finished watching this movie it was Boring and slow and only I jump scare. The monster and skeleton thing was the only good part of the movie
Dr. Strange needs to whip this cults ass
i don't understand all the teenagers dying/killing themselves part
*summarised, not "explained" 👍
I love you dude you make movies make sense
Makes me wonder if greg didn’t touch Paul, would they not of been killed? Genuinely one of my most favorite movies.
@17:25 wait is James the Tulpa? Called it 😂 Kind of predictable plus The winged skeleton thing in the cave was a hell of a lot scarier looking and more interesting than that lame hooded figure they went with.
Foundflix: Looks like it’s up to James to figure out this mystery!! Me: *water shoots out of nose* lmfao 🤣🤣🤣 Seriously that seemingly innocuous line made me crack tf up way more than it should have. Thanks Flix! 😄👍🏻👏🏻
Stares back into YOUUUU! 😂😂😂😂
Why did you ignore the whole teddy bear thing?? That's what I want answers about lol
Teddy bear was created in the “story” as one of his kid’s favorite toys. They screwed with him about it to make him more afraid. Amanda said in the hospital room that fear makes a better antenna.
So if I’m understanding this right they created a tulpa to be a vessel for another tulpa?
It was a decent movie. It gave me Hereditary “you can’t outrun your fate” vibes along with Shutter Island, where they had him play out the ruse so he can come to the truth on his own & that he was the person he was looking for.
:D
My favorite part from this movie was when the cult members in the woods started chasing down the main character and when he escaped he literally started asking "What the f*ck!?" Also, I think the reason why they blow into a bottle is because the bottle is suppose to represent the empty man. If we look at all the bottles (+ the bone we see at the start of the movie) we all see they are hollow (for the bone) and empty (for the bottles). So...It was a nice little thing they did there. Of course this is explained in the video so if any of you skipped this awesome video and you where still asking "WhY DO TheY bLOW intO a BOTTle!?" now you *probably* know.
I only found the bonfire scene and the yeah no scene entertaining then everything went to wtf.
This was a summary, not quite an explanation really. Still lots of questions- for example why were there clear tarps draped everywhere? How did the one cop recognize him? When they said they tried and failed before, was that the person pulling out their guts in the video? Also, why were they pulling out their guts? Why would the empty man request some of his followers to write “the empty man made me do it” on mirrors? Why did the group of kids commit suicide/get murdered by EM while he has other hundreds of followers still living at the conference? And also, if he was a detective (or was he?) why would he reach for a baseball? Any law enforcement vet would have a pistol or shotgun ready by their bedside. Duh. Maybe that’s just Hollywood.
He answered a couple of these in the video. The person who were pulling out their guts was the one they failed with before. The cop recognized him because even though they “created” him, some parts of his reality are based in truth. For example, the news articles found in the folder. SOME cop’s family must of died, it just wasn’t him. They grabbed real information to source their fake creation. My interpretation: I think some of the kids died because they were offering themselves to the EM as offerings. The girl who was killed wasn’t influenced and so the evil spirit had to kill her for.. more power?
The music alone is terrifying.
I still have a lingering question... what is with the extra fingers that each of the transmitters seems to grow? Also - EM seems to be have been designed based off of Nyarlathotep. Surprised this never came up in the video.
This is a recap, not an explanation. 34 wasted minutes.
The only line that I remember from the entire movie is "I grew up in San Francisco."
@Val and it doesn't even have anything to do with the movie. The fact that he grew up in San Fransisco is irrelevant to the plot, and irrelevant even to the times he says it. What does growing up in San Francisco have to do with knowing about cults??
He really loved saying that.
The opening was better lol.
I’m just happy for the same whispers.. really hit the spot lol
Stupid movie
Isn’t this like a carbon copy of bye bye man
No. More like copy of midnight meat train. With same false pretense of a cosmic horror story disguised as a generic horror movie.
I don't get the ending
Why is no one mentioning/explaining the multi fingered guy in the VHS . The skeleton in the cave why did it look the way it did with so many fingers and bones coming out of its back. Does the several fingers mean anything?
You complaining on it being overly long? I love very long movies.. I hate how movies are to damn short.
I'm pretty sure the empty man thing was a "great one" came off very lovecraft like
So? Does anyone know what was whispered in their ear? Just curious. 😀
I adore the snark you give to your reviews!
More like empty plot
Ah, finally dropping the word "ending" from the title since you actually rehash the entire movie every time?
This is a recap, not an explanation.
bye bye mans cousin
Get out of here S.T.A.K.E.R
7 mins in I'm like what's this movie again?? Lol
This movie is high af
The alternative ending in some test theatres was better, hopefully it will be available with the DVD as a bonus feature.
What was the alternate ending?
Eww, Amanda has a bowl cut!
