yes! YES!!!!! MY CONSTANT NAGGING HAS FINALLY PAID OFF, TAKE THAT JARED LETO I TOLD YOU I WAS THE CHOSEN ONE!!!!!

Another animation made by Fortress Films is a sort of "prequel" to this. It's called Spy's Disguise and it's great.
Also, there's a stack of VHS tapes in it, one of them labeled Emesis Blue. Just shows this has been worked on and planned for over 4 years

"Someone needs to make a horror movie out of Overwatch..."
As you noted, the Overwatch community is significantly more busy (and profiting off of) making uh... other things.

Hands down the best SFM and potentially one of the best psychological horror movies i’ve ever seen. The eye expressions are unbelievably well done. You can see the madness, anger, emotion in every single shot of the characters eyes. One example is when Soldier witnesses the hanged man in the cell, his eyes show very clear sanity loss/ pure shock at the horrors he’s witnessed.

58:05
Not so fun fact!

The model used in that scene for the face actually has a face ripped straight from an image of a dead body, though by the time this started being more common knowledge I assume they were mostly done with the movie and decided to keep the scene with that model in because nobody enjoys redoing things they've already done.

when spy and solder are in scout's apartment, spy calls himself Mannix. Mannix is another detective show from the late 70's. Nobody noticed it so i figured i'd let you know

I love how bright they make the eyes on all the characters, it makes them extra uncanny and unsettling, especially on medic

My favorite thing about this is that despite taking part in the tf2 universe and using it's characters and assets, you don't need to know anything about the game itself other than that it has respawn mechanics and that blu and red are in a war, but knowing about the game brings the understanding of some jokes like the respawn machine feeling like eternity (a lot of times you get 15-20 second respawns) or the intel hell chapter and forwards taking place in 2fort. Makes this masterpiece more accessible and thats great.

This time stamps are for the movie not the reaction

I saw this the day the video dropped and man, this is PEAK animation, if not just SFM. It does SO MUCH with so little and does it well. I mean think about it how many horror movies of any kind these days are actually scary? It's rare! Analog horror is one of the few horror genres that still pulls it off and this is a golden example of executing one masterfully.

I absolutely love this movie I'm absolutely hoping that game/film theory might pick it up to break down stuff about the film

The more I watch this, the more I like what they did with Spy as a character.

14:25 this escne makes me so scared the first time

no demo doesn't have an eye on the lfet side
cuz it keeps comeing back to  haunt them in halloween as monoculus

This so felt like a film belonging to A24 (cause they do crazy psychological stuff ) and I LOVED IT!!!! Definitely gonna rewatch it again

ive got a small theory about this.

the whole thing happens in a multilayered reality. with most of the layers being forms of purgatory.

medic DIES during/after taking scout home, its shown in the ending, he crashed into something(tree/telephone pole idk) and died on the spot, the respawn machine was permanently shut down at that point.
scout also died, presumably in that crash. like i said, possibly when medic took him home.
pyros, engineers, snipers, theyre already all dead except for the one soldier kills.
when medic shoots himself with spy and soldier, he isnt even there, its really SOLDIER who shot himself, as he also passed into the purgatory that exact scene, seen through the epileptic hell hole he get thrown through shortly after.
spy survived, only to be assassinated at the funeral.
the scene we see medic at the bar with archibald? he finally passed into the afterlife after everyone else did.

SPOILER ALERT FOR PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T WATCH THE FILM YET


1:40:47


(...) To end this treason, and corruption, once and for all!

BANG!


No shit the most badass moment ever in the film.

51:50 not knowing what is real and what isn't...
What if that's the point?
This story is basically a puzzle but with no picture or colors
We don't know what fits where and that's what's scary
Idk maybe I'm just talking out my ass :b

The M constantly seen throughout the movie is a reference to a 1930s german movie about a serial killer who leaves an M at his crime scenes aswell as having skribbled an M on one of his hands

First reactor I found who understood the Ray Charles joke.
