disappeared, leaving their dresses hanging from a massive oak tree. 00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:43.359 The island's retreat was run by Ruth Hume Semple, and rumors blamed a supernatural entity named Osra. 00:20:43.839 --> 00:20:51.519 A diary attributed to Daisy Rue described the terrifying events creating a legend that haunted the island for nearly a century. 00:20:51.680 --> 00:21:00.079 In the present-day struggling actress, Marion Keane lands the lead role in Darkness, a horror film based on the disappearances. 00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:13.759 Director Ronan Peters brings Marion and the cast, including legendary Violet Wright, Susie, Heather, and Julian to New Avalon, requiring them to live as though it's 1926 without phones or modern conveniences. 00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:18.319 As they recreate the mystery through seances, strange events begin to unfold. 00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:25.440 Marion is also grieving her sister, Molly's death, making the island's disturbing history especially difficult to escape. 00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:32.400 When Susie disappears and her dress is found hanging from the oak tree, camcorder footage shows her being pursued by an unseen figure. 00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:40.480 Heather and Julianne soon disappear under similar circumstances, convincing the remaining cast that the historical events are repeating themselves. 00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:46.160 Marin grows suspicious of Violet, who secretly keeps a cell phone and seems to know more than she admits. 00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:50.799 And Ronan eventually makes an unwanted advance on Marin. 00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:56.640 The apparent haunting is revealed to be part of a revenge plot involving Violet and the other actresses. 00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:08.559 Violet's biological daughter, Elise Haynes, whom she had Recently reconnected with after giving her up for adoption was exploited by Ronan, who recorded a sexual encounter with Elise without her consent and then shared it. 00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:15.920 The humiliation contributed to Elise's death by suicide, leaving Violet determined to make Ronan pay. 00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:27.920 Meanwhile, Marin discovers missing pages from Daisy's diary and learns that Daisy was actually an alternate identity of Osra Kovacic, a young woman who suffered severe abuse and psychological distress. 00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:33.039 Ozra perceived her other identities as separate people and believed Ruth threatened them. 00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:39.039 Ruth was murdered, and her remains are eventually found beneath the floorboards of Marin's cottage alongside her journal. 00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:44.960 The supernatural massacre never happened as the legend described, and Osra's fate remains uncertain. 00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:52.000 Violet's revenge accumulates in a seance where she pretends to be possessed by Daisy before stabbing Ronan to death with an ice pick. 00:22:52.720 --> 00:23:02.000 Marin helps stage his death as an accident by disposing of his body, cleaning the scene, and destroying the camcorder, but secretly keeps his SD card containing footage of the murder. 00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:07.759 After reading Ruth's journal, Marin realizes she was manipulated into the plot and confronts Violet. 00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:14.400 Rather than expose her, Marin uses the footage as leverage to secure the acting career she's always wanted, choosing fame over justice. 00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:23.200 Four years later, Marin, a successful actress and Oscar nominee, Ronan's death is still considered an accident, and Violet helps her land another major role. 00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:27.359 Marin has achieved her dream by protecting a murderer and concealing the truth. 00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:40.799 In the final twist, a photograph appears to show a woman resembling Daisy living under the identity Zara McCutcheon suggesting Ozra may have survived and started a new life, though her fate remains unconfirmed. 00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:43.359 Wow, that was a lot. 00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:45.599 It is. 00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:48.640 And it all kind of happens in the last like 10%. 00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:50.960 10%, yeah. 00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:56.720 There's also a lot of names because there's a present day and there's a past day, and each has five different actresses. 00:23:56.880 --> 00:23:57.039 Yeah. 00:23:57.200 --> 00:23:59.279 Surprisingly, I didn't get those mixed up. 00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:01.519 Oh, I I was fighting for the life. 00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:06.640 I was glad that the other ones didn't have much significance. 00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:08.640 Like it didn't really matter what their names were. 00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:11.039 Yeah, but I think they weren't real. 00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:11.920 Well, that's true. 00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:14.000 Yeah, it was all different in that. 00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:19.920 Yeah, but I mean, like, the present-day people were. 00:24:20.319 --> 00:24:26.640 But between those, the three extras on both present and past, I just was like, they're all interchangeable. 00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:26.880 Yeah. 00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:28.480 I was fighting for my life. 00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:30.640 Okay, let's go to our ratings round. 00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:34.160 So we are gonna rate it one through five, five being amazing. 00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:35.200

00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:43.360 Yes. 00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:49.920 So they specifically chose her to bring her to this island and do all these crazy scary things. 00:36:50.159 --> 00:36:53.760 And all these famous actresses are in on it and the and the director's in on it. 00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:55.440 And you would like that look better. 00:36:55.519 --> 00:36:56.639 It's like you're punked. 00:36:56.719 --> 00:36:57.039 Boom. 00:36:57.280 --> 00:36:59.360 Like that's not even scary. 00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:02.639 Like they're filming, they're filming all these scary things. 00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:06.800 And the twist in the end is that she they've put her through hell. 00:37:06.960 --> 00:37:08.639 And for just on a TV show. 00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:12.000 And she's gotta sign her because she wants to be famous, so she's gonna sign her life away. 00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:16.320 And that's the movie is that they tricked this poor poor girl. 00:37:16.480 --> 00:37:18.159 That's exactly what I thought it was, too. 00:37:18.559 --> 00:37:25.039 I thought it was like the okay, I said the Truman show, but the that's what I was thinking, but not like where it was streaming live. 00:37:25.199 --> 00:37:28.320 Well, spoiler for a 30-year-old movie. 00:37:28.639 --> 00:37:30.079 But one of the best movies of all time. 00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:30.880 Yeah, that's great. 00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:34.400 Okay, so in the Truman show, it's like airing like live as it was happening. 00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:35.119 I didn't think it was that. 00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:49.440 I guess it's more jury duty where I

thought that everybody else was in on it and they were having her, but I thought it was gonna be more of a remember when she did her tape? 00:37:49.679 --> 00:37:52.639 Yeah, yeah, and she told about her scary sister. 00:37:52.960 --> 00:38:08.239 Yeah, I was thinking they picked her because they thought that she actually had some media power like the so they were bringing her there to try to get her to do and make a movie and like make a movie out of it. 00:38:08.480 --> 00:38:09.360 Oh, yeah, see? 00:38:09.519 --> 00:38:16.960 So, like similar, yes, but then somebody said the something like that, and I was like, Oh, okay, never mind, it can't be that. 00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:18.960 Oh, as then he like casually mentioned it. 00:38:19.199 --> 00:38:21.679 Yeah, or she thought, is this what's happening to me? 00:38:21.760 --> 00:38:24.320 And I was like, Oh, okay, well, she pointed it out, so it can't be that. 00:38:24.400 --> 00:38:25.280 Oh, I don't remember that. 00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:27.519 And then I had no more thought after that. 00:38:27.599 --> 00:38:28.800 I was just wrapped up in the story. 00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:29.840 What was your second one? 00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:36.159 My other theory was because you specifically said, Adrian, I want you to read this book. 00:38:36.480 --> 00:38:37.519 Do you understand now? 00:38:38.079 --> 00:38:41.840 Not really, but the reason why either no, okay, go ahead. 00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:52.000 The reason I thought that, I thought that this was gonna be a Shutter Island ripoff, where if you've never seen Shutter Island, don't listen to this next part. 00:38:52.159 --> 00:38:56.239 They have this girl who has had psychological problems her whole life. 00:38:56.559 --> 00:38:57.280 Who are you referring to? 00:38:57.440 --> 00:38:59.199 Mary, okay, Marin. 00:38:59.519 --> 00:39:03.199 And she her parents, you know, have kind of left her to the wayside. 00:39:03.280 --> 00:39:06.559 She's been like seeing things, hearing things. 00:39:06.639 --> 00:39:07.039 Yeah. 00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:18.880 And so, as a last ditch effort, like all of her therapists and her people, they bring her to an island to create this scenario in which it brings reality to the forefront. 00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:21.599 Which really is kind of what they do with Daisy. 00:39:21.920 --> 00:39:22.719 Yes. 00:39:23.039 --> 00:39:25.760 Which is why I was saying I was sort of right on both parts. 00:39:26.000 --> 00:39:27.760 Can I say that we're spoiling all these movies? 00:39:27.920 --> 00:39:31.519 Shutter Island, Truman Shaw, they're all over 20 years old. 00:39:31.599 --> 00:39:37.280 So Yeah, Shutter Island, that actually I was sort of right on both. 00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:38.000 Yeah. 00:39:38.320 --> 00:39:44.800 Because they were, they did bring her because, but it was Violet who brought her, not Ronan, the director, and everybody was in on it. 00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:48.639 It was Maren wasn't in on it, and Ronan wasn't in on it. 00:39:48.800 --> 00:39:50.159 And the psychological reasons. 00:39:50.480 --> 00:39:54.159 The psychological part was kind of true too, because that was Daisy's experience. 00:39:54.320 --> 00:39:56.000 They did bring her to help her. 00:39:56.239 --> 00:39:56.480 Yeah. 00:39:56.639 --> 00:40:00.159 Okay, so the reason why I went in, did you have any theories or thoughts, Adrian? 00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:00.800 Zero. 00:40:00.960 --> 00:40:02.079 You're like, this is fun. 00:40:03.199 --> 00:40:05.519 I was like, I need to finish this in today. 00:40:06.559 --> 00:40:07.840 Here for a good time, not for a long time. 00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:11.920 Yeah, no room for debating anything. 00:40:12.239 --> 00:40:16.320 The reason that I wanted you to read it was because of the Daisy aspect. 00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:21.360 Oh, yeah, you're just saying, like, is it really with the like multiple personalities? 00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:23.440 Multiple personalities and like just all that. 00:40:23.519 --> 00:40:25.119 I just thought you would find that part interesting. 00:40:25.280 --> 00:40:28.800 No, I didn't, but I I do think that that is why I gave it. 00:40:29.199 --> 00:40:30.400 Yeah, I thought that was the best part. 00:40:30.559 --> 00:40:32.000 I thought that was so interesting. 00:40:32.239 --> 00:40:48.159 I'm telling my favorite part was when she when they were doing the seance at the very end, and Violet turned into Daisy, but like goes in, like vomits and then comes up as like this puppet. 00:40:48.239 --> 00:40:48.480 Uh-huh. 00:40:48.639 --> 00:40:49.199 Oh my gosh. 00:40:49.280 --> 00:40:50.960 I was like, this is so good. 00:40:51.119 --> 00:40:51.920 This is so fun. 00:40:52.159 --> 00:40:52.239 Okay. 00:40:52.800 --> 00:40:53.280 Good acting. 00:40:53.760 --> 00:40:53.920 Yeah. 00:40:54.079 --> 00:40:54.800 It wasn't real. 00:40:55.119 --> 00:40:57.840 Well, it was just like a fun element of it. 00:40:58.000 --> 00:40:58.880 I could picture it. 00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:02.400 I'm like, this could be a very good. 00:41:02.880 --> 00:41:08.320 It's like when we did his and hers and that one scene where the she like comes down and we know. 00:41:08.880 --> 00:41:11.599 Like it just, I was like, this feels very visual. 00:41:12.079 --> 00:41:12.880 This would be a good movie. 00:41:13.119 --> 00:41:14.800 It would be a great movie. 00:41:15.199 --> 00:41:15.599 I agree. 00:41:15.920 --> 00:41:23.360 Okay, what were your thoughts on Violet and the whole daughter that felt that was the killing Ronan? 00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:27.039 Yeah, that felt a little well, they had to. 00:41:28.159 --> 00:41:34.880 What would have been a better because if it it couldn't have just been some random actress, she's not gonna like care that much kill someone. 00:41:35.199 --> 00:41:35.760 Yeah, totally. 00:41:35.920 --> 00:41:38.559 So what would have been a better way to do that? 00:41:38.719 --> 00:41:39.599 Like device? 00:41:39.840 --> 00:41:40.400 Yeah.

00:41:42.320 --> 00:41:54.000 Maybe if I don't know, like maybe if it had happened to her, like Ronan had a father who was also a director, he was a Nepo baby, and the father is the one that did it to Violet. 00:41:54.239 --> 00:41:55.679 So then why are you killing the son? 00:41:56.000 --> 00:41:57.280 Take it out on him. 00:41:58.400 --> 00:41:59.199 Revenge. 00:41:59.519 --> 00:42:00.880 Just take them out one at a time. 00:42:01.039 --> 00:42:09.760 Maybe the father died from some unknown illness, and she had killed him, and then she was coming for his his next heir so they can reproduce no more. 00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:10.639 Okay. 00:42:11.119 --> 00:42:11.519 Sure. 00:42:11.760 --> 00:42:12.000 Sure. 00:42:12.159 --> 00:42:12.639 There you go. 00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:13.199 I'll take it. 00:42:13.280 --> 00:42:13.840 Whatever you want. 00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:16.239 The daughter was probably a better plot device. 00:42:16.880 --> 00:42:23.920 Would you have done what Marin did and been like, yeah, just make me famous, or would you have turned her in? 00:42:24.239 --> 00:42:28.000 Would I have had morals or gone for fame? 00:42:28.159 --> 00:42:28.719 I don't know. 00:42:28.960 --> 00:42:29.840 I don't either. 00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:32.159 I d I I like the route she chose. 00:42:32.400 --> 00:42:34.079 Would I have been brave enough to do that route?
