The Green Marker Scare

Was mentioned on Wikipedia’s feed a couple of days ago so I gave this ~75 minute animation a look on YouTube.

Disturbing. For spoiler’s sake I won’t even discuss it in this first post but I’d like to ask a few questions of anyone else who’s seen it.

If you post a link, it will make it easier for us to guess what you are talking about.

It is a movie about a guy who painted the edge of his CD with a green marker, and it didn’t make it sound better!
Or possibly this.

Now that’s scary. I know people who say it did. :slight_smile:

Sorry, I presumed anyone interested could find it easily enough:

Like I’m going to watch a 75 minute YouTube video without context?
Fuck, I won’t even watch it with context.

Same, but here’s the context if anyone else cares.

Is it possible a word is missing from this description?

“The children did know that they were part of a horror film’s production, and the rest of the film’s content was not shown to them.”

Lumpy, could you spoil one thing for me (in a box is fine):
when the creator says “The penny still hasn’t dropped about Ritual Abuse in the 21st century”, do they mean the idea it’s a load of hysterical claptrap, or does the film lend itself to reinforcing that harmful shit? i.e. is it pro- SRA being a real thing?

I watched the first 10 minutes or so - It sure doesn’t look like 9 -11-year-olds did the drawings to me. They must have been chosen for their drawing abilities. They weren’t just random kids.

OK, full spoilers:

It begins as a late-teen/ young adult equivalent of Nancy Drew begins investigating her father’s suspicious death. What she finds is an entire underground culture of ritual child abuse (it’s “Satanic” mainly for symbolism purposes). She tries to get to the bottom of it only to discover that it has no bottom: apparently from time immemorial pagan practices survived underground and the traditions of ritual sacrfice and sexual initiation have been there forever, in it’s modern form morphed into SRA. There’s no one to expose it to- the fix is in up to the highest levels of society and government. In the end to keep from being murdered herself she’s subsumed into the cult.

For a large group of nine to eleven year olds, it is amazing how alike their styles are.

OK, hard pass.

Agree!

I just assumed the disclaimer at the start of the film saying kids animated it was horseshit - like the ‘based a on a true story’ thing at the beginning of Fargo

For that matter, Star Wars was based on a true story.

Then there are the unsettling recent developments in the use of the word “literally”.

I haven’t watched it, and won’t. But the spoiler sounds like Q stuff.

I have been watching it since the OP was posted. Admittedly, only at the rate of 2 minutes a month but I should be finished soon. I will let you know what I think then.
