little wacky welcome to watchmojo.com
Ovie's bright you're not scared of this
man for this list we're looking at
various films in which the so called
crazy character with their weird beliefs
and predictions actually knew what he or
she was talking about as is to be
expected a spoiler alert is now in
effect number 10 10 Cloverfield Lane
what are you gonna do to me I'm going to
keep you alive unlike the first
Cloverfield this sequel drives much of
its tension from brilliant character
work rather than a violent and
destructive alien attack this movie
quietly focuses on the drama between
normal people like Michelle and Emmet in
the crazy survivalist Howard here in the
shelter that I built at keeping you
alive
well Howard claims he's keeping the two
safe from the toxic outside air and
dangerous alien creatures Michelle and
Emmet suspect he's just a CooCoo psycho
imprisoning them for his own amusement
and it saw a bright red flash in the
distance before entering the bunker but
nothing concrete
it's not until Michelle kills Howard and
escapes the bunker that she learns the
devastating truth the aliens are in fact
real and they are very very dangerous
[Music]
come on number nine scream there's
always some stupid [ __ ] reason to
kill your girlfriend that's the beauty
of it all
simplicity besides I think it's too
complicated if you lose your target
audience scream is very satirical and
meta so much so that it repeatedly
comments on its own cliched plot this
most often takes the form of Randy the
wacky movie nerd who knows all the
tropes of the horror genre that's why
she always wanted the killer in a big
chase scene Athena only virgins can do
that don't you know the rules what rules
you know he's not crazy in the
traditional sense but he is often
treated as the weird outsider Randy has
a lot of theories he immediately points
the finger at Stu and in the video store
he blames Billy states that SIDS dad as
a red herring and predicts that Billy's
motive is simple and easy to understand
they watch Palm night they save time
there's a formula to it a very simple
formula everybody's a suspect turns out
he's correct on all fronts both Stu and
Billy were the killers SIDS dad was a
red herring and Billy's motivation was
simple good old-fashioned revenge and
jealousy the Millennium motives are
incidental that's good number eight
tremors Burt Gummer is your traditional
crazy survivalist he is paranoid and
firmly anti-government he's concerned
about some type of impending cataclysmic
world war three and he owns a bunker
stocked to the gills with provisions
food weapons and ammunition well you
worry you have a heart attack before you
get a chance to survive World War three
listen the people of perfection treat
him like the resident nutcase that is
until the graboids come a-callin
whatever it is just one of these could
need upgrade me so like she suddenly
bird is everyone's best friend as he's
the one with the weapons and homemade
bombs necessary to stop the sure-enough
cataclysmic invasion of the graboids
maybe it's not quite World War 3 seeing
as how the problem is isolated to
perfection but it certainly feels like
it to the citizens of the town number 7
final destination the kabuna starts to
shake and the left side blows up and
then the whole plane just explodes and
there was so real just like out what
everything happens you know you've been
out a lot of planes that blew up you
must have fallen asleep how much faith
do you put in dreams in so-called
precognition maybe you believe in it
maybe you don't that's the question that
kick-starts the plot of final
destination high school student alex has
a premonition that the plane he and his
classmates will be flying on will blow
up and when he attempts to save everyone
he causes quite the commotion sure
enough the plane explodes shortly after
takeoff look at me as a fan causes
and cause us as if that's not enough he
later tries to convince everyone that
they cheated death and that it will
claim them in the order they were meant
to die on the plane Miz Luton doesn't
believe him and sure enough she is
quickly skewered needless to say
everyone believes him after that like
again number 6 Halloween what are you
doing in our house he's harder to get
into your house you have no security
system Karen your side window is wide
open sometimes I can't tell the
difference between your stupidity and
your ignorance 2018 s Halloween took a
surprisingly honest look into how a
traumatic experience can permanently
affect someone's life and mental
well-being forty years after the events
of the first movie Laurie Strode is now
a paranoid alcoholic recluse who suffers
from PTSD and is entirely devoted to
defending herself and her family from
another possible attack of course this
causes an enormous strain on her
personal relationships and she's
ostracized from her family as a result
the way I raised your mother means that
she hates me but that she's prepared for
the horrors of this world then everyone
urges Laurie to seek help and move on
because there's no way Michael will
return that is until Michael returns and
kills countless people and who's there
to protect her family
none other than crazy ol Laurie Strode
he's waited for me number five Friday
the 13th good you can't blood ain't
cheap god damn it Ralph get out of here
go on get eat people alone never come
back again
shut up Ralph it's got a dance curse the
crazy guy in some backwoods location
warning the protagonist about a killer
is an old horror movie trope but
perhaps best embodied in the first
Friday the 13th by the aptly named crazy
Ralph as you can probably tell by his
loving nickname
Ralph is seen as mentally unstable by
the citizens and tourists around Crystal
Lake he continuously warns people about
the curse of Camp Crystal Lake and the
in turn ignore his drunken ramblings a
Messenger of God you're doing it you
stay here this is cursed cursed
well Camp Crystal Lake isn't cursed per
se but it is the home of a particularly
violent and vengeful mother who isn't
about burying axes in people's faces
just think of all the lives he could
have saved had anyone bothered to listen
[Applause]
number four a Nightmare on Elm Street
you didn't sleep at all last night did
you you know the doctor says you have to
sleep Rihoko even crazier let's be
honest this is a rare example of the
crazy ones genuinely sounding too crazy
to be believed after all would you take
someone seriously if they told you they
were being hunted and killed in their
dreams by a man with finger knives rod
is implicated in the death of Tina and
Glen's parents understandably want to
keep him away from the kooky girl who
claims the scary dream and is killing
her friends I don't care what you say I
don't want that kid hanging out with our
son
it's later revealed that most of the
townspeople know who Freddy Krueger is
they just don't believe his eventual
ghost haunting the kids dreams well he
is in fact a vengeful ghost haunting the
kids dreams so there Nancy was right
number three get out like don't go to a
white girl para now get out is another
highly intelligent horror movie that
knows the tropes its audience and their
expectations and so we got rod a comical
black man this is essentially a death
sentence in horror movies as people well
versed in the Jaro will tell you that
both black and funny characters never
make it to the end
look all I'm do is connecting the dots
I'm taking what you presented to me okay
well not only does rod make it to the
end he also ends up saving the day
thanks to some well realized paranoia
and diligent research but this only
comes after he was literally laughed at
for his theory that the Armitage family
was kidnapping and brainwashing black
people to use as sex slaves he wasn't
quite on the money but he certainly got
the gist of it I mean I've told you not
to go in that house number two the cabin
in the woods cops will never pull over a
man with a huge bong in his car why they
fear this man they know he sees farther
than name and he will bind them with
ancient logics this is yet another
brilliant subversion of expectations as
the funny stoner guy not only survives
the whole ordeal well to a certain point
anyway but his weird ramblings actually
turn out to be right
right from the outset Marty is logically
paranoid and cautions the group against
a lot of stupid things like reading
creepy latin phrases out loud do not
read the latin he also finds
surveillance equipment and correctly
assumes that he's on some sort of
reality TV thing heck he even discusses
being controlled by mysterious
puppeteers as we later find out he and
the group are being manipulated by
puppeteers in a control room it all
sounds like typical stoner paranoia but
in this case the stoner has a point many
points in fact what do you say

tooth the size of a shot glass out of
the reptile of a boat out there and it
was the tooth of a great white who's
been gardeners but it was all chewed up
I helped tow it in you should have seen
him too where where is that tooth did
you see it broken one could certainly
make an argument that all three
protagonists of Jaws are seen as the
crazy ones Brody encounters many
obstacles on his path to protect the
citizens of Amity Island including a
wishy-washy coroner and a mayor
hell-bent on protecting the town's
economy above all else
August for Christ's sake Jamar's the 4th
of July that we will be open for
business it's gonna be one the best
summers we've ever had no one seems to
believe Brody or Hooper's claims about
an abnormally large great white shark
especially once a tiger shark is caught
and everyone actively ignores their
warnings and when it comes to hunting
the shark Quint gets no respect and is
dismissed for asking for way too much
money
thank you very much mr. Quint we'll take
it under advisement it's not until the
fatal fourth of July incident that the
trio is finally taken seriously
