Senna. Pals. All right, you guys, what's up? I'm Krista Svenspino, joined by Ms. Vivian Day. Hey, hey, hey, today. She's in the house. And so are they. They're my favorite friends. I think there are a lot of people's favorite friends. Your eyes? Yes, my eyes. Gorgeous. Today, you guys, we're watching record. Rec? I mean, REC. ESP. Rec. Record. Record.

It's in Spanish. Recreck, record, whatever you want to call it. That is what we're watching today. It is a horror film. And that's why Vivian, she's, you know, she's a little bit of this. She is a little jittery. She's not really psyched about this. Ooh, I don't want to watch this. Vivie and I, we are the Scare Queens, and I thought we were done with this horror. But I guess there's a lot more horror out there to be seen.

So with that being said, Christmas is over, you know? Let's get this over with Well, hey, you only, Hey, you only screamed once. I'm upset. I gave it to them. I feel ashamed.

I feel very ashamed. right now. That was impressive by you. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. That was the first time ever. She... I was this close. I mean, there was that one point where I went like this a little, but that was it. I don't like those films that make it feel like it's like really real.

All the handheld. I don't like the handheld thing mostly because I have a stigmatism. And so sometimes like it makes all the shaking and the twirling. It hurts my eyes, but also it gives my brain. Like, I feel like my brain's going like this. like somebody's shaking me and I have to kind of go like this and I'm like oof

I mean you know like Vivian's so sweet she's like at any point like if we gotta take a break for your eyes like let me know this one was a tense because she knows but with that being

sad what they worked with was impressive I did feel like at some points like it was slow and became redundant however they made a massive comeback at the end the middle where

they show the elderly woman who had just like killed the girl or whoever that part was really scary and then it died and they was just like yeah yeah okay zombies but there wasn't like a umph for me

and then all of a sudden they made a huge comeback at the end and that was interesting because now I'm like yo if you guys did this more of this like a little more from the beginning it would have been really scary in my opinion I think it would have been a lot

more scary I'm so upset I'm so upset I knew it was coming. I knew it was coming. And I kept going like this. And I'm like, we're good. We're good. We're good. And it still got me and it made me want to go, um, really upset me. But then, and then that

other creature comes into play. And I wasn't expecting it to look like that. I don't know if you were, but yeah. I wasn't expecting to a little girl that got experimented on. Yeah. I came back. Right. So I wasn't expecting her to look like that. And I think that threw me off a hair, but it's still creepy enough to keep me engaged

because it kind of, like, gave me my precious vibes a little bit. But then at the same time, it was still in a human form for me to, like, hold on to it and believe it. But for a second, I was like, are you doing too much here? And then I'm like, nope, nope, you're doing just right. But I feel like the filming in that room in their last scene was so suspenseful and so obnoxiously scary. I love that they did that the way they did that scene and everything with that handheld and whatnot. Like, I was not upset with that at all.

I thought that was done and executed very well. The rest was like I just, I thought it was a little bit slow and needed to get picked up some. I really wasn't wanting to like this film because of the way it was filmed and then also because it was slow and whatever. And then they ended so strong

and I'm also pissed off that they got, like I screamed because I wasn't wanting. to and because of that and because they ended so powerfully at the end I will applaud you all right, all right.

You can, you get points, okay. You know what? I guess I don't completely like hate it anymore. Like I guess, you know, I respect it. Whatever. Whatever. You know, you guys did good. Like, that's how I feel. I'm like, I'm annoyed that you won me over

with this film. I'm very annoyed with that because I do think that as little as they had to work with, they did a really good job. But what they did was not easy. I will tell you, I will give them that, especially with all those long shots, that's not easy to do. So you guys, well done.

They really did, like, maximize their set to, like, from beginning to end. Yeah. And I like how they kept bringing us back to that familiar room of, like, yo, we don't want to be in this room. Yeah, why do we keep having to come back? to this lady's apartment.

Yeah, I was pretty over that. I was like, okay, we already know this is the room we don't go in. Yeah. Let's like lock it up. And then once we start bringing other rooms and other elements into it, then I started feeling a little bit more anxious and like, I want to vomit. And then when you think about it from a perspective of, okay, what if this was real? That would suck.

Could you imagine? That's why I'm feeling now. I wonder if that was a choice, the way they started it, like a little slower and kind of more paced and film the way it was because it was like, this is kind of boring and it is kind of like you kind of want something to happen and then once stuff happens you're like I'm done I'm actually good you know what I'm sorry I'm sorry I criticized you yeah manifested too strong that's how I feel though I was like I want something to happen and I'm like I'm just kidding yeah can we go back to the other stuff like I'm just kidding you're doing great

yeah like you're doing great I'm just kidding and it is hopeless right it is like bad ending there's no way out of it so it feels like and I hate that maybe they're doing that's a choice. Maybe they knew exactly what they were doing. No, they did. They knew exactly what their name. They wanted this film to be something that's like, oh, guess what? We found lost footage. Let me mess with

your brain. And like, you know, and I think because, like, you said, okay, they knew what they were doing because in real life, it would have been that slow. And then it would have been, so it's like, that's why I'm like, I wanted to hate it and I can't. And the characters weren't like

two. charactery, you know? It was like real enough and just annoying enough and just turned up just enough for us to be like, okay, we're not completely like bored to tears, but for me the scariest part, I think,

was thinking about all the people outside because they're trying so hard to contain it but the dad's out there. And then that guy who used to live up at the penthouse who was doing obviously all these experiments and working with the Vatican, he disappeared for a few years, right?

Like, they said he went to Madrid, but he's disappeared, so he's probably infected. So, like, if you think about it, that's the scary part. Vivian keeps getting deeper and deeper with this. And the whole world is over. And here's the thing. It's not that my brain didn't come to those conclusions. It's, I stopped it and cut it off because I don't even want to know anymore. Here, Vivian is, hey, Kristen, let me dig it a little deeper.

Let me, hey, hey, let me also just, let me, let me say, what if? Oh, and you know, we would never know. It is. If your life was on the line, okay? In a scenario like this, be honest. Okay, I know I'm a fighter. And I know I'm like, I, you know, I would like to think. I will survive that I would just keep trying.

And then another part of me is like, what's the point, man, surrender. Surrender. I'd unalive so fast. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like, and then another part of me. I would walk out the door. And then there's another part of me that's like.

Like, do I want to play the role? Like, in real life, not in this, in real life. Do you want to play the girl that's like, ah, or, you know, or you, or maybe, ah, and you have a chance of survival? I'm confused because this, this film was terrifying. Well done, you guys. It was terrifying. The thought of having something like this happened to you and kind of go and put yourself in that situation and go and think, am I going to try to to survive or at that point

I don't want to be so damn terrified anymore that I'm like can't beat him join them you saw where my mind already went I'm like well no the whole world is I'm just going to walk out that door and let the police take care of me because yeah but the police aren't going to let you out no exactly I'm going to go out and let the police just be like

take drastic measures I would have thrown myself it's better than what's coming yeah I would have thrown myself out of that window so fast I would have been like I'm not in Yeah, but just shoot me. In my mind, everyone's infected. I mean, that would be better to go, pow, then you'd be like,

and then you're like, and then you're like, am I alone in like, like, when I go, I want to get cremated because I can't fathom my body doing things without me? That creeps me out. So I'm like, whether it's decomposing or whether it's getting infected and like coming back to life, I don't know. I know, but then I'm also like, well, if you get infected and you come back to life,

are you still somewhat in there? No, it's not even about that. I just don't want to think about this getting all gross and doing, like, eating things. It's just, I'd rather just say bye and be done. People, whoever came up with the zombie thing to begin with and like these horror concept, your minds are twisted. No, because it exists. I, not in this sense, but like there was a bacteria or something.

thing that was doing that, was it South America or Africa? It was like years ago where it was like making people be like this. I know there's stories about certain things happening. And then people grab it and they take it in the extra mile. I don't want any part of it

man, I just want to see unicorns and rainbows and like butterflies. Like, leave me alone. Mermaids. I want to be with the mermaids and the fish and like I want to see the sunlight. I don't like being laid. I don't being outside late at night like I want the sun no gutters films that make you go like this

too my bad those are well done films because it's like ha ha gotcha bitch yeah like and you're like I think it helped knowing that it did so well and there had to there has to be a reason why it does so well because they executed where I'm like okay yeah I can I can sit through no I beginning where it kind of sucks. I can see why. Oh, that's why. I could see why this did so well. Honestly, like, I wanted to really, really, really, really hate it.

And then it brought me back to going, okay, I hate it. Don't get me wrong. I hate it. But for all the right reasons. You did very well. I'm very impressed with you. Thank you. Yeah.

I was, I'm still so irritated. This is our last one, right? You guys? Like, no more horror films? No, I think there's a lot more coming. We said something about retiring. Yeah. No, no, I hate

This film for all the right reasons And it did really well And I For if Man, to be on that set though Okay, just take that to be on that set I just hit me I'm just saying to be on that set

Okay, and then later come out with this And then just like blow up I'd be like, damn This film was I hate that I have to clap for you This is like the fourth time And I hate that you got me. I was doing so damn good.

No, this was good. It was a good film. It was. I won't watch it again. I won't watch it again. But it was good. But I might watch it again for Halloween or something. I would recommend this one.
