doing now Freed is a 2007 horror movie
0:11
that tells the story of Kurt is a
0:13
deranged young man with a dark secret
0:15
but Sheriff Baker's worst nightmare
0:17
comes true when Kurt escapes from a
0:19
psychiatric hospital where he was locked
0:21
away for the brutal murder of his mother
0:24
13 years earlier yes we know this sounds
0:27
like a plot to Halloween but this movie
0:30
is most famous for its realistic opening
0:32
kill scene where we see a young Kurt
0:34
celebrating his sister's birthday now to
0:37
add to all of the realism of all this
0:39
this movie shows us some home video
0:41
footage so this is not your typical
0:43
movie camera shot this is via home video
0:47
so the realism is already set for this
0:49
movie kurt starts to act out at his
0:50
sister's birthday party by being mean to
0:52
her and thus he's sent to his room now
0:55
the scene in question occurs when Kurt
0:57
is in his room and his mother is trying
0:59
to have a heart-to-he heart talk with
1:00
him about his behavior it everything
1:03
seems to go wrong when his mother
1:05
insists that he apologized to his sister
1:07
the quiet pouting little boy runs into
1:10
her and we as an audience get this
1:11
visual of a little boy running into the
1:14
lens of a camera but we're then taken to
1:16
the floor of his bedroom and I'll assume
1:18
the camera is like laid sideways while
1:20
it's knocked out of his mother's hand
1:21
while we see her on the ground trying to
1:24
get up off the ground but little Kurt
1:27
doesn't let her up we get these visuals
1:29
of the mom being bashed in the face over
1:33
and over again and with each blow
1:35
causing more damage and I mean we're
1:37
getting real time scars bruises and
1:39
blood i mean the way the filmmakers cut
1:42
the scenes together it looks as if we
1:44
are seeing a little boy bludging his
1:46
mother to death in real time because she
1:49
goes from a few scratches to a few
1:51
bruises to a distorted and mangled and
1:54
disfigured face all the way to the point
1:57
of no longer looking human i mean all
2:00
while begging for her life and for her
2:02
son to stop as the scene comes to a
2:04
close there's like a disturbance to the
2:07
camera and then we see white bed sheets
2:10
but this is done so we can hear the
2:13
blunt force trauma but we see the blood
2:15
splatter increase and more and more
2:17
blood spills onto the bed and Kurt's mom
2:20
is gagging and grasping for breath until
2:22
he just bludgeons the life out of her i
2:24
mean this scene sets the tone for the
2:26
entire movie unfortunately this is as
2:29
good as this movie gets because once you
2:31
see this scene it sticks with you i mean
2:33
it stays with you i mean you witness the
2:36
death of a woman in real time as things
2:38
go from bad to worse but if you would
2:41
like to see this movie it is called
2:43
2007's Freed a movie I was first exposed
2:46
to via Chiller yes the 247 horror movie
2:50
cable channel that existed before
2:52
Shudder but yeah this is one of the
2:54
greatest and organic kill scenes in
3:05
history and until next time when said
