The following is a presentation of TFNN, the Tiger Technician Hour with your host, Basil Chapman. Call now toll-free at 1-877-927-6648. Good morning everyone on this Monday the 23rd of October and we're looking at a very interesting market. Let me just go through a couple of things. Number one is the Dowdown 62 at $33,063. Hasn't taken out the $32,846 level but now that I'm back in the office I can show you all these charts. I just was a little afraid to do it the other day because I was working on one laptop with dozens and dozens of different windows. Didn't want to mess things up. So I'm always looking at straight line up, straight line down. That's one. Cup formation or it could be a V-shaped formation going from one level down back again to that level, testing the upside resistance or breaking it. Or there's an arch formation. So it's straight line, cup or arch or inverted V and that's to me that's all you have.  Failed at a peak A or a B. That's the first or second peak on the upside and come back over to arch and the reason why it's red is if you take out the left side load decisively you can go a lot lower. If you hold like you did over here or you have, this is the reverse Y pattern where you take out the left side high. That's really positive. In this case you see the arch in the daily chart on the left is actually a little double arch but it's basically an arch that goes up to peak A then a lower low goes to A and then B and then fails and it comes all the way down. You went to peak A to peak B and now you're trying to find some kind of support holding above the 32,846 level. The other thing I look for is a nine period moving average over or under the 14 period moving average. I'll go through that in a moment. Let me just move this aside. Let's say that that S means that the Dow weekly chart slipped to negative so it's in a cell signal upgraded to a cell mode. In the weekly chart the S&P, the S&P in the daily chart just took out the left side low of 42,16 back either beginning of 1st of August or end of September went to peak A and then a fractional B and then a fractional C which is always negative and now it's a C-Y because it made the dreaded H pattern. It took out the left side low. What happens next is not the end of the day and it's a daily chart say for closes about 42,16 as at 42,15.98 at least on a very short term basis it saves the day but you've got the arch formation in place and you've got in the daily chart for a while now we've been in cell mode. Now the weekly chart on Friday at the close gave a cell signal upgrade almost immediately to a cell mode because it took out that it made for the second week it made a pink 9 period moving average pink means it's negative green means it's positive and now we're going to see what happens next. Look at the QQQ. Finally today the weekly chart and of course this is a weekly chart. I can't talk about this as if the week is done because what 38 minutes or something into the first part of the trading week I can't talk about it as if it's closed but I can say on Friday the NQ that's the futures did close S that means the 9 period moving average close under it. The QQQ the index itself did not. The investor QQQ trustee is in fact the index 100 trading vehicle. So this could still flip back because it's in the sideways range but that weekly chart made a lower low and this is in a cell mode the daily chart I'm sorry the weekly chart I have to consider that it's at least in a cell signal. I don't say yet it's a cell mode but certainly a cell signal and the monthly chart is still pretty positive IWM the Russell 2000 I want to spend a little time on this because the beginning of the week at the end of the month we're looking at the IWM the Russell 2000 down 6 cents and 166.40 within this big rectangle in the weekly chart for a long time it's been in a cell mode the monthly chart says oh I know this pattern so well wow you better hold the left side low of 100 and is that 58 80 or something I can't remember offhand 162.56 162 yeah 166 oh there's 160 right 162 it better hold that in October and November because otherwise it's a real problem now let's do something else I just wanted to quickly show you so cell in all the key indices that's the Dow the S&P the QQQ the IWM the XLK the SMH is as a semiconductor I'm just doing that look there it is XLK which is the S&P select text by the fund yep went to today it's in an S that was holding pretty well but this is the beginning of the week so all I can say is that the dating charts cell modes the weekly chart I have to give it at least a cell signal I haven't put the down arrow yet but I will see if it upgrades to cell mode over the period of the week I see a buying coming in every day there's buyers coming in and then we close lousy so let me just show you a couple of things that I wanted to go through in this overview at the very beginning so my my subscribers to my opening call it was such a perfect time to do an overview video that I do the how long video over the weekend usually on a Saturday I was out of town I just haven't said I I've almost got everything set up so that I can do it when I'm away from the office because I always have to go to my desktop because that's where my call or everything I do is right there and I log in I've been logging in for 20 something years here at TFNM when I'm overseas and even before that using actually my PC I think it is so it's being pretty good meantime back at the ranch I could not do the webinar I could not do the video overview but I did send out a very short analysis written typed up of what I was looking at and I gave you all the scenario I'll go through it as we move along so gold I said gold is a an icon of fear that's where money tends to go to when there's geopolitical fear gold is also the place that money flows when the XLF in the United States with the financial sector is really getting beaten down so yeah in a sense is getting beaten down when you look at the monthly chart this is not a major major anything it's just a sideways consolidation after making a high up in the 40s a year over a year ago and then all the way down to the 30 level and now it's at 32 it's kind of arching over we just got to watch this really closely but so far it's not the kind of got my goal because the financial it's not like 2007-2009 where everything seems to be blowing up no it's very different so what we are looking at is gold I think is in play I don't see the gdx other than sudden spikes and then give backs following through with us so it might be more a gold plate just gold itself is really important as a geopolitical icon of fear the real icon of fear is the vixx and the vixx index right now is coming back off the hitting 23.08 and what I said to subscribers what's the 22s but my gut feeling tells me having been in this game for so long that it's really the 28 to 32 area in the vixx where we're going to say okay now we're getting a very serious upside reversal at this point it's a work in progress so the vixx index is in leg D but that's not the important when it comes to the vixx index and the chapter we methodology it's the only one that I don't put great import into the lettering of the notation and this is just pretty high in the 20s pulling back to 2118 I'll be right back down down down only down 37 it's just if you're looking for potential trading setups in the stock market then rocket equities and options report

exponential Jeff so I'm not sure if you're using the simple exponential I love exponential so look at the way the exponential this is a dashed gray line right here let me get my pointer there and it got repelled right there and look at the 200 period moving we're under the 200 period moving that's never a good sign alright but there are times where that becomes a magnet and I would not be surprised if over a period of a few days maybe the entire week maybe once back to that and then we come down again so yeah I do use that most importantly remember here's the falling x formation this is an extension of the inside track repellent line I actually really have to take it off now it served its purpose it's done I don't like to keep things that are really obtuse and at this particular point have served their purpose so now I've got a new line in the sand which is this and that even that doesn't make any difference so I'm getting rid of these lines right here this line here and I'm going to make this one short because it was important for that particular phase right there and now it's done it could come back but at this particular point I like to clean up the chart so what we're looking at here is my suspicion is and one of the reasons why I say to subscribe is we flipped on Monday at just about at the opening where we took more profits and now three times small three times and we've already been taking profits took more profits and then completely got out of the three times long UDOW switched to the three times short SDOW we still have the core short in the DOG from the high of the high of the first of August right there at the exact high so that's this is a core position for now but most importantly what we're looking at is I said today let's take when I sent out the news at eight o'clock or just before eight o'clock I said let's take or just off I can't remember offhand let me just check right now got sent out 808 I said let's take some money off the SDOW had really quick profits took a two and a half percent gain and this just raised the stock and now we're letting play out and that's all I'm doing right now we've got a short position we've got a rather aggressive small short position in the Dow and we've got other positions but right and then the one position that we had which is kind of upsetting because it's been so different we have a position that we bought at 21 it is 68 we've taken nice gains all the way up but we've tried to get back in for those who missed out and I just haven't been there I thought I timed it well because we got in the other day pre-market and then at that same position on Friday we got in and it actually held really well even bounced a little bit but it got taken out today and I suspect that by the end of the day I'm going to say oh you should have kept it but I'm sorry we've got stops in I'm not prepared to mess around a couple of percentage points we can always make up but when it gets to 15 and 20 percent you're sitting then you say oh my god what am I doing if it opens down if you're wrong way around opens up I just cannot do that for subscribers personally occasionally I might do that very seldom but I might be so convinced that this is a particular position that's going to do what I wanted it to do but I have to tell you if I'm wrong I'm out take my take take my loss and usually very smaller and I just walk away and I say okay we'll be back for me that's the best way it's worked really well I want to I want to preserve capital for my subscribers that's just to me the most important thing I want to stay in the game alright so now with that said I got to gold and I moved away because I was talking about our icons of fear one is the for gold gold is the icon of geopolitical fear when I'm talking about the financials then gold comes into play again but at the same point same moment that I'm talking about that because the dollar BXY holding pretty darn well for days it's been a weekend just over a week and it's been stuck in this hundred and six eighteen area hundred uh yeah hundred and six eighteen up a tick today and I there's no way I spent some time over the weekend trying to count and see if I've got alternate counts in the weekly chart of the dollar look the magnate is strong the stochastic's at eighty eighty seven percent that's fabulous the nine period is way over the fourteen period moving average the price is way over the nine there's a chance wow it's hard for me to say this but there's a chance that the dollar remember I've tried to separate all these different things there there is a relationship but it's very distant now of the dollar to gold there is a relationship of the VIX to the market look the VIX is in the twenty one area and yeah the Dow is down eighteen points that all those relationships are gone there are bonds look at this the TLT I've got a some kind of a low coming in um it's not there yet but look at this trend line look at a hit the monthly trend line exactly and this goes back yours this particular trend line why because it's trend line that goes back to twenty twenty and only that the TLT has this measured move oh I didn't put it in it was green why not change that I forgot I guess green and it goes to there but the US bonds which is the continuous contract look at this beautiful the low of August of two thousand and thirteen and one hundred nine and eight thirty seconds that price always changes because it gets smoothed out as it's still the same one thirty seconds one thirty seconds anyway the low of August of two thousand and thirty I didn't use the high of the twenty of the of March of twenty twenty at a hundred and eighty five I used this particular low of October of two thousand and eighteen and one twenty three as my fulcrum as my plum line and what does it do it goes all the way to next month so it's in this period I'm going twenty twenty ten years how many months it doesn't matter ten years from the August low of two thousand and thirteen to where we are now October of twenty twenty three and saying this is the area and you can see the plum the plum lines move but the dash shall we've inside wedge target support line hit exactly so we're right in this area and I'm just suggesting to you that you've got to be a little careful because within the context of bonds if this whole area of support goes there's really nothing there's nothing until you get to the I don't even want to say the number but I will February of two thousand and eleven the low was eighty seven and we're at a hundred nine this is me but at that so that's the continuous context so we're right in an area where I was I believe that the we didn't from the action on Friday into the action Sunday night into the action this morning this is not the low of any turnaround in the market it is a low it's just another one of those lower lows and probably lower highs I don't think we're done yet so let's just treat it as an ongoing process let's go back to gold just to show you something interesting the gold is now down six at nineteen eighty eight but look at that weekly chart the MACD finally cross positive remember we're looking at the negative MACDs from earlier on and the stochastic said forty nine percent not very strong on balance well it's pretty good but that nine-breed moving on the weekly chart we're going to watch to see if it actually closes positive and that'll be a big deal for gold I'll be back down currencies commodities and bond markets are as important as ever right now with how they're driving the volatility in equity markets across the globe which is why it's a great time to try out Teddy Kegstad's Tiger Forex report Teddy Kegstad breaks down the

just have a kind of to assess where we are look the TLT having a bit of a bounce up 67 cents to be at 83.92 if you look at the TBT it went above the left side how you went to a leg F I could give it an alternate count I just don't want to do that right now because it is a D in the weekly chart and an E in the monthly chart this is how this plays out because if you look at the TNX.x there we go that's the 10-year this is the 10-year treasury note this is at 4.895 48.95 it made a higher high today now that's what invariably happens in the temporary methodology so this is this goes to 40.93 and today's high is 49.97 there it is and now we've even got a D so there are a lot of things that are right now saying we are getting closer and closer in bonds to some kind of reversal could be a short term reversal could be a longer term it doesn't really matter at this particular point but the way the prices are stretched they don't know that they are stretched so what you can do is look at the chart and say well the stochastic said 91% in the daily the magnate is still good not as good as it was in the previous peak after back in October early October but the 9 is way above the 14 and the price so far is way above the 9 for this to go negative for the green to go pink that's the 9 period moving out you probably have to see the price at about 46.42 somewhere around there over 2 points lower that's a work in progress but in the meantime there is nothing other than the prices read on Friday prices read and today's read having made a new recovery high when I say recovery high I'm talking about a high that is goes back towards the high of June of 2007 2007 I mean really look at the speed with which it did all that I mean that's pretty that's that's quite something so that says on a on a using combustion using your moment that talk that goes to momentum the monthly chart of the TNX is making that M shape pattern that often says just be a little careful that's when you could get the right side failure but you haven't got it yet the statistics are very good at 86% 85 to 86% that's very good the 9 is way over the 14 so nothing here says that you need to be worried about yields you should be worried about yields coming down you want them to be coming down just at this point for a breather but that doesn't mean to say the price has to do it so all in all it's a work in progress and so far there's just one little two that's called as if the day has ended but it's really only just begun but at the moment it looks like you've got two red candles whoo-hoo two red candles in a row you've had that before very tiny little candles after that PE over there so all I'm saying is that yields at this particular point are hinting that we're getting closer to some kind of reversal but that's all it's doing and the trend as far as I'm concerned remains down that's the down in the bonds at this particular point and in the general market now let's go to the other things we want to look at look high-grade copper high-grade copper is trying to form some kind of a base today it's out per fraction 0.0015 at 3.5645 it's just making lower lows and it's taking out the left side low so nothing to see there wood which is the iShares global timber forest PDF it did exactly the thing that I was talking about the inverted chapter wave falling exformation going to a pd which says you don't necessarily have to go far below the left side low in this case the low of 68.75 back the week of the 24th of March we'll see what happens it's at a pd and right now the prices are 69.74 in a leg d to the downside the sell mode daily sell mode weekly and sell mode monthly and that's timber forest PDF that's a good clue together with crude oil I wanted to show you I wanted to show you something really important here if you're looking at the various indices look EURUSD this is the currency pair A B and it hasn't yet gotten to leg C right here it's even an overlapping wave which says it's going to be 1.06 through 98 takes you to a new leg d and so far in israeli and compared to the dollar remember those relationships are not quite the same as they usually are compared to the dollar it's making slightly higher highs and higher lows which is kind of good yet the dollar is just holding very steady JPY look at this almost like a little double top here it's struggling struggling so this is going to be a really important week why because if the dollar DXY arches over we'd be looking at a close below 10554 and it said 106.09 doesn't sound like much but in this particular instance it is the dollar doesn't move all that much besides you mentioned we are along the dollar we'll see what happens here because it's really important because the currency of fear is the dollar when geoeconomically and politically when things are getting tough money tends to flow to the strongest currency and it's still flowing to the dollar as I look at it alright so you wanted to look at crude oil just real quick and we'll finish this up here crude oil is down just a little down 84 cents at 7.34 now it's just stuck in a range you make your peak I'm going to draw in the rectangle here so how long can it stay in the range if the Middle East flares up even more you will see crude oil move up that's always seems to work with crude oil it is a Middle East like gold it is a Middle East part of the sectors that I look at in this configuration in the Middle East now Metta a question about Metta so Metta is trading up 2.78 to 3.11 this is formally called Facebook I don't know why they changed the name it made this cup formation it's just it almost looks like the dollar yen look just kind of dollar yen trying to bounce above this left side high in the cup formation remember what we're looking at we're looking at H's NY's and there's the Y pattern up and then a Y pattern so how it holds and how it can close if it can above 3.31 and yet it is down to 3.11 I mean that's a lot of points is going to be important I just think Metta is kind of stacking it's holding really well if you look at the monthly chart if you're long I would just say you know as a long term buying hold it's almost like Apple in the old days just it's it's a platform that is seems to have substance but in the meantime it's in a digestive phase I would not add to it Amazon a little different look at this chart pattern if I can give it to you AMZN AMZM now this is the exact opposite there's your H pattern it's arching over it looks even like Amazon wants to test the 123 200 period moving average if it breaks that I would say 119 is probably what you're looking at and I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon does but 122 is the 200 period exponential moving average in the weekly chart and this week it's just gone S in the 914 but the week has almost five days to go so we can't hook by these are done there I'll be back they're going to be balances you'll see them here we go

gold traded on the NYSE American and TSX under the symbol GZ I'll try to get to the TYX there another question came in over here okay I did that I did that just don't want to skip anything because okay Dan I'll get to that question over there but first I want you to show you something that is kind of important as far as I'm concerned yes Dell so you have these companies I remember looking at you you look packet HP was it HPQ let me just have a look at what I didn't have HPQ HP was it HPQ HPQ is HP Inc and it just looked like it was dead in the water and all of a sudden it has this huge move going from the 26th level up to the 42s and then it fails and then I forgot about it and I'm looking and all of a sudden I see I had some kind of result or something and it goes from the 24s down to the 34s and I keep saying to myself money keeps flowing into certain fund managers have their favorites and it can go back not years but decades sometimes so Dell fits into that character for those of you know Dell what's his name Dell he created this company and it was an incredible guy I remember I had Dell machines many of you out there I'm sure had Dell still have Dell and then it just kind of disappeared because it was taken over it was someone joined by someone whatever it is it's still it and then look what happens it has this gap in September 2 2 2 in the 55 area 54 area 55 54 56 boom it suddenly jumps to 64 and then it keeps going up and to this day it hasn't taken out the gap up low which is at 63.86 that was on the 1st of September and yeah it is holding so well so when you look at stories like this and it's a story I don't think Dell is doing something so fantastic wow I didn't even realize that look at this monthly chart maybe it is doing something so fantastic the new Dell from 2016 I guess it went private and then came back public was tutoring at the $10 area and here it is just of all time eyes I didn't look at this chart so let me put it this way if I look if I just take a trend line and I take it from all the highs from the time that it's IPO the second IPO over there and I'm just drawing this trend line look how perfect how does a trend line know to do this it's just all I can say is to me it has to do with the tide it has to do with the trend and that trend just keeps having acceleration from a certain base as the tide it's like a boat you're looking at the boat in the water a little dinghy right and you're sitting there on the bench looking out of the ocean oh lovely lovely and you're there for about an hour chatting away look around all of a sudden that same boat is now either sitting on the sand right it's grounded because the tide has come gone all the way up or it's up and that's what I look at this is a tide look at this channel and this is the only way I can explain there's no mathematical I'm sure there is I'm getting I'm just about to start doing a little bit more work with AI and I'm going to try to do these things to see you see this trend this uptrend so the uptrend says it has this kind of acceleration to the upper resistance level and then it fails and that's exactly what it did here now is starting to slow down to the upside so I just I wanted to explain it in my own verbal way it's not a mathematical way other than the tide is rising and the in the physical response of the stock to the emotional buying runs out as it gets to that turn line and it's within an up channel and that's just making it as simple as possible alright so I don't know what the question is other than to say if I was looking at this I don't know this a computer Dell I mean why would it be doing so well other than takeover rumors look what happens to take over rumors look at X it gets this takeover story and it does unbelievable this is from August in the 22s Sunday 28th the low the next day is 28.05 it runs up to 32.52 and then it goes into a rectangle does not take even gets close doesn't even get close to the low that 28 low it moves heart breaks to the upside peak ABC goes to a D right there on the October I think it was a October the 12th and now it's in a cell mode and there's a chance it is to come back and I don't know if it will break the 28 level but it's already at 31 so I think that whole era of 31 to 30 is going to be very important for US steel X as a symbol so with that said let's go back to Dell and I'll say whatever the story is in this economy in this environment I just don't know what the reason would be for Dell to go from 68, 65 to 72.5 to break to a new all-time high won't just be a recovery high so is it a short you know it's just stuck in the range whatever the story is it's still holding when it breaks it's going to not only fill this gap it's probably going to go down to the 200 period moving average of 52 hasn't even done that yet so I'm not sure what the question is let me see if I can go back oh you bought puts okay my sector work this weekend as computer hardware at higher okay I'm with you 100% but I'm not sure I'm with you 100% on Dell unless the puts are a little bit further out if you're looking at November you've got 3, 10, 7 oh yeah you got time okay to the 17th of November that's fine okay there's a lot of work there just to answer the question so yes next one is question I had was 200 period moving average to oh hacked up to Basel 10 which oh thank you very much Z let me just have a look at this I did want to get to it yeah so this is going to G slash C alternate count there's never an H so that goes to a D in the one minute chart there's your D and then it goes to an E pulls back quite sharp this is the one minute E mini goes to a cell signal to a cell mode I think this is not the Monday October the kind of smash to the downside reversal and become the low like we had in October how we March of 2020 where we went along the day of the low or October we went along the day of the low of last year this is different this is just a bounce and it's using up time and energy to waste to the upside because eventually when the low comes I think that VIX is going to go into the 28 to 30 area so yeah this is actually I see if we can be moderating all the selling over the next what are we at 10 10 10 50 yeah 10 50 right now 10 minutes to 11 Eastern time we can still see in the 10 minute chart so with that said we've got five minutes out store

in this last segment I want you to give an overview of what I'm looking at let me just say number one the August first high in the Dow the day we were in short I'm trying my best to keep that as long as possible right that's number one number two is we are still short the SMH's from two points of its old time high that was on August 2nd I believe it was two days after the high was made here it is at 142 we shorted at 159 we've had the SOXS as a three time short periodic we just didn't have it in this particular pullback and it did go right look at this look at the beautiful work here it went right to the Jabba Wave inside track repellent zone and I tell you I still firmly believe where the SMH's go so the general market goes just they are the oil of the 1900s this is the oil of the 1900s this is the 200s and as important in everything that we do right with that said bonds, bonds are they look as if they headed higher more intermediate term but on the very short term basis I believe they trying at least trying to implement some kind of a level in the TLT in the 82 could even go down to 81 could even have one quick slip into the 1979's but I think we're getting real close to where bonds at least give a relief rally but what I'm really interested in here is so a question came in just now about FXI which is China so I'll just do that real quickly yeah it still looks very weak to me and the other thing is what do you do oh what do you do with the uranium stuff yeah we still have our UEC this is the uranium energy from the 360 and showing right now 5GF take some gains up but it's holding really well and that's an energy so with that said I'm going to hand you over to Steve Rhodes, it should be a great program as always to see the post-COTF and then check out both the performance


My name is Patrick Ball. I was one of the experts in the trial, and I spoke about the statistical finding consistent with the prosecution's hypothesis that acts of genocide were committed. There's a little, here it is. The fundamental conclusion that we did, and I'll walk through how we got to that, is a comparison of the mortality rates between the indigenous community and the non-indigenous community in the three municipal municipios of the Ischial region. In particular, through integrating four databases and estimating the deaths that we could not observe, we estimated that 2,147 deaths occurred as a result of killing by the army, excluding other state forces, killing by the army to indigenous people in that community. According to the census of 1981, there were approximately 39,000 people of indigenous ethnicity living in that region, which yields a crude mortality rate of 5.5%. That is 5.5% of the indigenous people alive in April of 1982 had been killed by July of 1983. Now, to a statistician, genocide, it is not enough for an argument about genocide to show that many people of the target community have been killed. We also need to show that the people who were not targeted were not killed. That is how we would understand, in a statistical sense, targeting that some people were not killed. And the not killed category in this hypothesis would be the non-indigenous people who were living in the three municipios of the Ischial region during the same period. And we estimate that 41 people from the non-indigenous people, a non-indigenous community, were killed. Of course, that's a much lower rate because it's also a lower population basis, so it's about 0.7% of those people were killed. From a statistician's point of view, the fundamental conclusion here is not necessarily either of these numbers independently, but rather their comparison, the ratio between the two, which in public health terms is understood as a relative risk. That is, the ratio of the proportion of indigenous people killed to the non-indigenous people gives us the difference in the probability of being killed between the two communities. That is, we can interpret this number, 7.9, as that if you were indigenous, your probability of being killed by the army was eight times greater than if you were non-indigenous in this period, in this region. Now, these, again, are only homicides committed by the army. And we are relating it to the census of 1981. Both of those are interesting points that I'll touch on later if there's time, which there almost certainly won't be. But perhaps you'll come to my talk tomorrow at LASA, where I'm going to problematize all of these numbers in great depth and make it much more complicated. For those of you who've been saying that 200,000 people were killed in the armed internal conflict in 1960-1996, that number is probably not right. That's, it's not right. I calculated it, so I can tell you, for the truth mission, it's not right. We'll talk about it tomorrow. We'll come to the topic. So we'll skip forward to the next slide and say that, again, this data came from, first, the census of 1981. This is the page from that census for Nebach. And then from four data sources. First, the International Center for Human Rights Research, the CIIDH, then the RME Project, the Catholic Church, also the Commission for Historical Clarification, and the National Program for Compensation. These are all named individuals. These are not lists of groups. And this is a big point that I'll talk a lot about tomorrow. These are people who are identified by at least one forename and one surname, and for whom we have at least a year of death, if not month and day. We have relatively few days of death. And we have the municipio of death. So these are well-identified records. Anything else was excluded from this analysis, and we calculated those exclusions by means of a bit of math. So let's talk a little bit about the notion of registration and under-registration. A lot of times when we talk about statistics, we're talking about what we have in our hand. We have a list. And we count the elements in the list, and we say, that's how many people died, because that's how many we have in the list. And a lot of times, we're worried about how many people we can verify. So we filter the list. We take a bunch of people out of the list who may have been killed, and we have their names, some reason we can't verify them. That's not how statisticians do it. Statisticians are interested in what the total population of deaths is. And our job, then, is to start with what we can observe, represented here by these white intersecting circles, in order to estimate the entire population, which is what we can observe, plus what we cannot observe. And we use a bit of probability theory to estimate from what we observe to what we cannot observe. This is not simply so we can get a higher number. Not at all. In fact, the total number is of relative unimportance to most statisticians. Rather, the point is that if we are going to make an argument about patterns in which we are comparing one category to another, whether that's March to June over an analysis over time, whether it's Chahul to Kotsal, if we're doing an analysis over space, or, in this case, the indigenous to the non-indigenous community, we must have unbiased estimates of both in order to compare them fairly. So it is completely inadequate to work with only what you know, because one community may have told you their stories at a more enthusiastic rate than the other community, which would create false statistics. So we fix the statistics using some probability theory. And the way we do it is this. Now, I actually did this proof for Judge Barrios in court. And I was delighted when I got to the, and that is how we estimate the unobserved deaths. She smiled, looked at me, and nodded. The universal indication that a light bulb has gone off. She got this proof. And I was delighted. I looked at the defense table. There was somewhat less in the way of light bulbs. So we worked from, as I said, I'm not going to do the proof here. There's not enough time. Please come tomorrow, where I will be less respectful of my time limits. And I will make sure to do the proof. The key here is that we're using the intersection pattern. The rates, or excuse me, the levels at which the data sets document the same events. We're looking at, for example, across all these events, across all these data sources, if we consider the number of people who are documented by the CIIDH, RME, the CEH, and the PNR, there are two of them. Two people, among the thousands of people documented, only two people show up in all four data systems. While at the same time, there are about 1,000 who are in the PNR and not in any of other data sources. There have been people who've raised questions about the quality of the PNR. I think actually, from a statistical point of view, the PNR is at least as good as the other data systems and probably a lot better than one of them, which I will not name here. But it's the one that is often considered the most popular. It's not the commission. Have I hinted enough? All right, I'll move on. So because we've done an estimate, an estimate is bounded by an error interval, a confidence interval. Sometimes late people call these a margin of error. It's not quite a margin of error, because it's not plus and minus the same amount. The error is asymmetric because of the way we're doing the calculation. But this estimate of 2,147 people killed by the army, indigenous people in these regions during this period, is in a confidence interval between 1996 and 2325. In our report that we gave to the court, we provided the technical background for how the calculation is done for the confidence interval. The point of presenting these confidence intervals, the key point here is that these intervals come nowhere near each other when we compare them. So this is the bar for the number of indigenous people killed during the period of Rios Mont's government. The dark blue area, the number of people we observe to have been killed, the light blue area, the number of people we estimate to have been killed. The width of the bar indicates the population basis. It's proportional to the population basis, about 39,000 people. And this error whisker, this little line here, indicates the range of probable estimates. This green bar next to it has all the same characteristics. Its width is proportional to the number of non-indigenous people who are alive in that region in that period. The dark area is the number we observe. The light area is the area we estimate. You notice that they're very, very different. And that's really the whole point to this argument. The whole point is that they are so different that it is completely implausible that that would occur by chance. And so to a statistician, we would conclude that, therefore, the evidence is consistent with the hypothesis that the Guatemalan army committed acts of genocide against indigenous people. Now, this graph is also a little bit of a curveball because we're slipping in other periods. These are a series of 16-month periods that proceed and follow the government of Rios Mont. And what I think is interesting about this graph is that it's clear that the rate of killing against indigenous people is substantially higher, substantially higher, during the government of Rios Mont than in previous and succeeding periods. Now, it may seem that the rate of killing against non-indigenous people declined slightly, but it's within the error. We cannot reject the hypothesis that these are all the same rates here, these little green bars, because they all have overlapping confidence intervals. But we can say that the rate of killing against indigenous people during the Rios Mont government is substantially greater than in previous or following periods. The prosecution asked me also to make some comparisons between killing in the Isil region and recent genocides, particularly Rwanda and Bosnia. Now, comparable statistics, reliable statistics do not actually exist. We know quite a bit about Bosnia, actually, thanks to the Research and Documentation Center in Sarajevo. Terrific job and nearly complete enumeration of deaths in the Bosnian conflict. But for Rwanda, the statistics are appalling. We really have very, very little clarity. The only place that we have anything like a clear finding is in the Kabuye prefecture. And if we consider all victims, we cannot distinguish the victims by ethnicity. We find that approximately 20% of all the people alive at the beginning of the genocide in Kabuye had been killed by the end of it. And the reason that I present that statistic is that it's actually pretty close to the total killing rate across the period, 1979 to 1986 in the Isil region, which comes out at about 22%. So that's quite interesting. That in some sense, there's a sort of a commonality of this notion of 20% of total deaths in these other genocide cases. Srebrenica also, about 20% of the people alive at the beginning of July, 1995 had been killed by the end of 1995, nearly all of whom were killed in the 3A period as the enclave was emptied. So I found that evocative and we presented that. So let's come back to this notion of bias and why it's so hard. The problem is that while we're living in these white circles, while we're living in the world of documented deaths, it's impossible for us to tell the difference between the reality on the left where in fact, we only document about a third of the deaths and the reality on the right where we've documented almost all of them. It's impossible to tell while we're only looking at the documented deaths, whether we've got only a little fraction of it or we've got nearly the entirety. And that's important because it might be that for one community, say the indigenous community, we have very good documentation. It could look like this, while for the non-indigenous community we have poorer documentation. And that would create a bias which would be unfortunately a bias in the direction of the prosecution's argument. And whenever you're doing a scientific argument, you want to create biases that go against the hypothesis you're testing. So that's the key to motivating our estimation. But it also leads us to look at some of the data sources, in particular the PNR and the census, and ask ourselves the question, if there were some systematic problem in this data source, would we nonetheless, and we corrected it, would we nonetheless reach the same conclusion? So what we did is we took the records that are only documented by the PNR. We took records that did not appear in Remy, in the commission, or in the CIIDH, but did appear in the PNR. And we systematically, well randomly, deleted sections of those records. So we deleted up to half of them. And then we recalculated the ratio, the relative risk, of being killed by an indigenous person relative to a non-indigenous person in this period in this time. And we found that by deleting half the records in the PNR, we still have a relative risk of almost five. Our argument is sustained if we assume that half of the people who spoke only to the PNR made their stories up out of thin air. And I think that that is a deeply implausible claim since the PNR's records were, PNR's findings were substantiated by death certificates and investigations and other things. So while there may be some PNR records which are falsified, this analysis shows that the conclusion that we draw is not affected by the possibility of in fact a quite substantial number of falsified records. Similarly, it is known to demographers that censuses systematically under register people who are not urban and people who are of excluded ethnicities. And this Guatemala's a classic case. So mathematical demographers and applied demographers did a lot of research on Guatemala in the 70s and 80s looking at the early censuses, the censuses in 1951 and 1964. And they found in those censuses that indigenous people were under registered by about 15%. Now from my argument, this is quite problematic because I'm using the census of 1981 as the denominator. And if the denominator is too small, I will be, if the indigenous denominator is too small, I will be inflating artificially the estimates that I'm making of their homicide rate. Well, if we assume that in 1981 there was an under registration worse than those of the earlier censuses, which again is implausible, censuses get better over time, not worse. But if there was a very severe under registration, 20% of indigenous people, while non-indigenous people were fully registered, we would nonetheless still have a relative risk of six and a half between the two ethnicities. So again, our conclusion would remain very strong. So that in 15 minutes is what took me an hour and 25 on the witness stand. Although it would be helpful if someone in here could ask me how division works. Thank you very much. My expertise was in the trial and that incredible and frustrating trial was about racism and genocide. I say everyone's know that it's my, well, my expertise. The first thing that I tried to get with the attorneys was how the racism was a structural and historical element through history. How it starts with the racism in the colony and then it starts in the spheres of the 19th century, calling people degenerate, bad people, inferior races. And how it comes to debate, a very great debate around the 30s about the degenerative race and the improvement of the race, the eugenesia, and the extermination of indigenous people. Since the end of the 19th century and beginning in the 20th century, the imaginary of racism and practical racism in the elite was very common. The extermination of the population was a very common thing in the newspapers. So that ideology of racism goes through the elite of the power you know my book about Lina and Racismo and that established and dispersed to everybody in the population. With the war, I think it's the worst part. The war was everybody start seeing the Mayan people as terrorists, as subversives, as guerrillas, communists. And we have heard many testimonies where they were subversive insurgentes, guerrillas, supported groups. Then in that part, in the 80s, all Indians were subversives where it was necessary to cut off the seed of evil, to cut the seed from the roots and to normalize. So they have to be Ladini Sarlos or to erase the Mayan identity. It was very clear in the Sophia plan when they treat them like animals or like objects or they are named like Filo Eno and when they kill the children, they say that word chocolates. I didn't know where it was chocolates, why? It was referring to the color of their skin and the woman's too. So I think that the Sophia plan refers to extermination and total annihilation of the population. And it also mentioned the possibility of destroying the population and the community ties. Many people of their testimonies or in the trial report that a high number of women and children were murdered and were insults and humiliated and wrapped. Okay. So I think that we could affirm that in the case of Guatemala, it was not only reasons what it happens or only genocides. It was a two ethno-seed, against the cultural, the cultural Indian Mayan culture. But the problem was the process of dehumanization and devaluation of the other. They treat them as animals, carries a heavy burden of racist and a stigmatization of the other, understood as inferior or expendable and situation of ex, is ex-executive rebel of Mayan and women's. But the thing is how to prove the genocide. But the problem is the intention or the intent to prove of the proposal of to prove a genocide. The premise of the intention to eliminate an ethnic group like that cannot be denied by simple assuming that they were subversives or because the roles they played in the conflict. The intent to destroy the group can be inferred from certain assumptions related and interconnected to the crime of genocide. Which are the assumptions that all the olocaust and all other genocides, Alruanda, Bosnia, Dafur has the massacres. How do you, can you difference between genocide, crime and as delesa humanidad or just collective massacres, no? The presumption of Causen mass murder, so genocide, as Verdeja, Ferenstein and all the specialists or the expertise of genocide said is to cause mass murder and genocidal massacres to children, women, elders, civilians to destroy housing and culture and religious images to sites. The existence of clandestine graves and mass graves, the dehumanization and dispersal, the depersonalization of the victims, the declaration of target group as public enemy, intent to erase the elements of ethnic identity. The total of partial destruction of an ethnic group are through an systematic planning of human extermination or the public statement of people involved in extermination. The model, the type, it's the Holocaust, the Jewish Holocaust in Germany. And other Holocaust or other genocide like Bosnia or Dafur or Rwanda has four, five or six intents of elimination. We have the nine, the same as the Holocaust. We are the only one that has the same name of presumption intention of exterminate an ethnic group like that. So my remarks or my conclusions is that historical structural racism, stereotyping, stigmatization of indigenous people through the history of Guatemala and the institutionalization of the violence of the violence and violations contribute, help and facilitate the perpetration of genocide. And it reminds one of the more powerful ideological tools to justify the genocidal massacres in the country. Since racism was already internalized in the minds and in the hearts of the elites and the perpetrators of genocidal violence. Now we know that in the urban middle class it's already there in the minds and in the hearts of the urban Latino middle class of the city of Guatemala. The structural historical racism ideology contributed to shape the characteristic of the state, of the racist state, discriminatory, in equal authoritarian and use the ideological and repressive institutions against the indigenous population in times of crisis and domination. I think that the consolidation of racism as an ideology of the state reached its apex and showed its peak intensity with the crisis of the oligarchic military government, the emergence of the popular revolution of movement and the application of the counterinsurgencies. The problem is that the counterinsurgencies, the manuals of the counterinsurgencies were applies without limits due to the presence of the racist ideology in society. The historical structural context of the racism and the intensification of the stereotyping and stigmatization of the indigenous people. In the case of the Mayanic Shield indigenous people were they identifiable as public enemies of the states and members of the guerrillas. So that was the pattern and modus operandi through all the history in Guatemala. It's not the only one. It has been in Quetzaltenango, in Pazizilla in other moments of the history in Guatemala. So I think that the genocides, it's increased it, it's internalized in all the country in all the classes and meanwhile more in the Latin-Urban middle class. In that case, I think that it could appear again in any moment in the future because with this trial we have seen in the papers, in the newspapers, in the mass media that the blogs or in the commentaries of the urban Latinos middle class were so racist, were so cruel that they didn't have any empathy, any compassion, any kind of poor people. What has happened?  They didn't have any compassion. They said, no, it's a pity. They didn't die anybody, everybody in the war. So that is really the most worried thing that we should reflect for tomorrow. Thank you.

Thank you for checking out this movie review video. This is for the 1981 film the Beyond it is a Lucio Fulci film and if you don't know if you didn't watch the first Review in this trilogy series.  The first one was City of the Living Dead. That's already posted on my channel This is the second installment the beyond and then I will be doing the third Which is the the house in the cemetery so look forward to that one. So I'm gonna be able to do some comparisons here, so a Little bit of information. I already had in the beginning of the one for City of the Living Dead So it's a little bit repeating but shouldn't be too much written and directed by Lucio Fulci this film He also did don't torture a duckling zombie the New York Ripper and a cat in the brain Bunch of those I actually haven't seen yet because City of the Living Dead was the very first Lucio Fulci yet film I've seen now this the beyond is the second But I'm gonna keep going. Don't worry. It was also written by Dardano Siketi or Siketi I don't know how to say last name. I'm not sure I'm gonna say Siketi He's he's written demons demons to 1990 the Bronx warriors, which is on shutter the scorpion with two tails a Bay of Blood and cat and nine tails Also on shutter. That's an Argento film. So you know the directing is good Also written in portion by Giorgio Mariuso Who also was involved in writing some of the house by the cemetery? Sorry before I said the house in the cemetery. It is the house by the cemetery This the beyond is the second installment in the Gates of Hell trilogy Obviously, it's City of the Living Dead that came out in 1980 then the beyond and the house by the cemetery Which both came out in 1981 which I feel like it's kind of a really fast turnaround for completing that trilogy But hey, you do what you want The film was shot in and around New Orleans and then they had some of the you know other shots Especially internals done in Rome in a studio in Rome Italy. It's an Italian film. It's dubbed over much like City of the Living Dead That typical time frame, you know 60s 70s 80s There were Italian horror films that were just being shot and immediately dubbed in English.  Sorry, this film's not for you then or any of these It was released in the United States at with the title of seven doors of death With different music and several minutes cut out of it Its original cut was actually shown in 1998 then by Quentin Tarantino by his grand grind house I think it's grand house releasing or releases or something like that not like ground house picture grand house pictures I don't know But at any rate the version on shutter that I watched and it is available on shutter at the moment The version on shutter is the grind house one from Quentin Tarantino's company that was from 1998 So thank you Quentin Tarantino for being a steward of these films trying to get them in their original form It was also released in Germany under the title the ghost town of zombies Which is like a terrible terrible name I mean is seven doors of death. Yeah, seven doors of death is better But why didn't they just call it the beyond wherever they go? This is such like a weird thing to me where the titles just change based on the country I mean, I know it's like a marketing thing, but it seems weird This is actually considered to be from what I've read online considered to be one of Fulci's best films which I liked it, but I Liked City of the Living Dead more to be honest So for me it does not resonate as one of his best films and I've only seen two of his films now, so I don't know I'm gonna I'm gonna keep going on. I've heard don't torture a duckling is really good So I have a feeling that's gonna be one of his best films most likely, but you know and full chi I'm learning just through two films full chi is a Style over substance type filmmaker, which I enjoy from time to time As long as the visuals are done really well, and I do think he does a good job with visuals He also has some cool very inspired scenes, especially around like deaths and and you know interesting paranormal stuff That happens just like in this film real quick. I am doing spoilers for this because it's an old film I feel like I always have to say that It was intended for the trilogy to be quote Connected by the trope of hapless mortals literally living on top of an entrance to hell and then inadvertently falling into it I Mean that's the story the plot for City of the Living Dead and the beyond I assume it's gonna be the same for the house by the cemetery and like I said These films are light on story. These films are very light on story. It's about the visuals. It's about the gore It's about the music. It's about anything but story pretty much. It's super light So it's rumored no surprise here It's rumored that full chi didn't have a full script for this film when he started shooting it He just had an outline that he was working from and if you know that information and you go into the film Watching it you'd be like yeah, that makes sense because it just seems kind of aimless in the way It's put together. It's kind of like okay now. We'll do this now. We'll do this now. We'll do this There's no story there's almost no story I mean there is there is like an actual story and it does tie in the City of the Living Dead, but it's it's so loose It's such like a broad Idea of a story that doesn't get into too many specifics. And so it it's almost like it's not there to be honest Fabio Friesi's did the score for this film and it is a very good score And in fact, it was ranked by Rolling Stone magazine as the 11th best horror film score And this is something that they ranked in 2016 so almost, you know four years old at this point but the 11th best horror film score it is a really good score and I kind of feel like I Don't want to say I feel like it was wasted on this film because I just I don't know I just feel like the score is better than the film is like the film itself Underperforms for how good the score is the score should have been and the backdrop of something much better much more interesting Something more like like Argento's deep red or something like that I mean he has great scores anyway But you know something in the same vein of like the same good writing as like deep red This film was put on the video nasties list in the uk No big surprise here when you see the amount of gore in it, especially the uncut version So it happens Everything is is a vintage yellow in the beginning of this film Which is in my opinion a really cool way to kind of replicate the look of old photos as they've aged You know really old photos the black and white ones turn very very yellow as they get older And I think I'm just speculating here. I think that was kind of the intent of starting the film as Uh that yellow color to kind of make that that comparison to draw that parallel And I say that because it's set in the past It's giving you the backstory on you know There was this person here who was using the book of aben and he was doing this demonic kind of painting And there's a gate of hell here and then he was killed and yeah, you know, we we all know we've watched it But I'll talk more specifics But I just thought that was cool that that kind of color usage and you don't see that color used Like at all like this is the first time I've seen anyone do a scene in that like yellow coloration But I thought it was cool the beating uh The opening beating and brutality gives you the signal that uh, it'll be ramping up gore considerably in this film Especially in comparison to city of the living dead Uh, and that's a long take of a face melt to be honest when that guy who's doing the painting gets killed first he's like getting beaten with a chain and It's very gory and then I was just like, oh man They're really stepping up the the brutality violence in gore And then it goes like even further and they're like throwing the acid on him And it just like sits there and makes you watch like his face getting melted not to you know Not to even say that like the crucifixion was really really graphic as well and I mean Practical effects in this were quite good For the most part, although I will talk about one of the practical effects thing. I was also like Okay But you know, we'll talk about that in a minute But that face melt scene was pretty long They probably should have cut that down because it just seemed like it took a little too long Not from like a gross out fact uh standpoint just Timing wise it's like I'm getting a little bored watching this Um, there are plenty of shady looking and acting characters in this film especially In the beginning like the the caretakers of the house martha and arthur like They're just crazy crazy shady and they also kind of like don't have emotions really in this film Which is really really weird especially when um I I got the idea. I don't think it was explicitly said but like joe the plumber Who shows up? He seems like he's like martha's husband or something Like they have some sort of close bond, but then when she finds his body She's like no reaction to it so like some of these characters are very poorly written and poorly thought out and That's why it kind of makes sense the rumor of you know, falsely not actually having a full script But I mean regardless of that I would think that when martha finds joe's body That he would just be like you have to act like this is a terrible thing you have to scream and Nothing, she's just like yeah, yeah another body Well, what are you gonna do? The hand popping out of the wall and taking joe's eye out when in the scene where he gets killed is really good Well, first of all the basement like that flooded basement looks super creepy They did a really good job making it look the way it needed to in that and it's like super super flooded Great great scenery and then the moment when like the the wall kind of like the water takes the wall away and then I mean that was creepy enough and then like the hand flying out and like popping joe's eye out I was like, oh man, and that scene looked really good like that effect of the eyeball being pulled out Would definitely make some people squirm Um, yeah, like I said, I like how martha finds joe's body. It's just like me Emily was actually not able to see during this film. I had to let you know the Emily the the blind girl who had you know, you see her eyes close up and they're just like totally um I think it's like it looks a little yellowish, but I think it's just supposed to be like white over her corneas and retina and or cornea and pupil, sorry And uh, yeah, like I think that's I think it's supposed to be white, but it looks like kind of yellow So they hand painted those contact lenses apparently And her and then later on the kid and I think a few other people had to have them in and they legitimately could not see Like they could not see past the paint in there and That would be kind of rough to work with on a set to be honest Not just from the standpoint of the actors, but from the standpoint of the director as well Fulci probably had a hard time because you know, you got to keep people safe too Why would they hook a six year old dead body up to a heart monitor? That's one of the things in this film that does not make any sense when they find the old body of the painter Um, who's all messed up and in really good shape They make a statement that it's a six year old dead body But for some reason in the morgue they have it hooked up to a heart monitor Which like I get it for the visuals of the film and it gives you that moment or like Oh, it's coming to life because it shows like the heartbeat on the monitor at one point But it makes absolutely no sense. Why would you hook a six year old dead body up to a heart monitor?  The squeaking gurney in this film in in the morgue is way too much Um, it is crazy Ear piercing Uh, I had to turn the volume down really fast on that it legitimately hurt my ears My cat freaked out because she didn't know what that noise was and it is so shrill. It is so piercing They needed to take that down quite a bit. They really needed to take that down Uh, the girl at the morgue the redheaded girl, uh I didn't understand when she like busts in when her mom got the out Like she got I guess she got like knocked out and then like the acid, uh bottle tips over and she um And it's like going on her face and it's melting her face like the girl just stands there She's just like standing there watching it and she's just like Wouldn't like first of all, wouldn't you do something? Like if that's your mother which they're that's what they were saying insinuating is that was her mother Like you would go and try to help or you would run for help or you would do something She just stands there and stares at her mom's face being melted and I'm just like this another moment makes no sense Makes no sense Fulci is not big on actual story man. I'll tell you Uh, you might not want to continue to pursue turning the house into a hotel When two people die the very first day that you're there That's another thing liza the main character liza. She's trying to remake this house into this nice hotel Originally was a hotel, but she's trying to like, you know revamp it renovate it and make it a hotel again But when two people die, I I'm assuming the painter who fell off the scaffolding dies because he was like You know vomiting up a lot of blood there was a lot of blood coming out of his mouth And people also seem to not really be freaking out about that. They were just like oh i'm calling the doctor Don't worry. Okay, and like meanwhile, he's losing tons of blood on their couch nonetheless So i'm assuming these two people died because him and joe And so wouldn't you kind of like put things on hold or reevaluate what you're doing if two people die The very first day you're there that I would I didn't get the whole emily thing by the way Why would liza just take her to her place? um And why and she starts treating her like like a friend immediately And the way they meet is like totally odd You know, she's driving down this road and she's standing in the middle of the road with her seeing eye dog And this person who doesn't know you liza is just like oh, hey, I'll help you out Like I understand the aspect of she's blind. She's lost Help her out like I get that that's fine But then she's just like treats her like she's a friend immediately and she like comes into her house And then all of a sudden she's talking about her like oh, she's my friend like The friendship aspect just came out of nowhere. It was so forced once again Not good writing if there was writing regarding that at all. So it's just weird Uh, you gotta love the fake tarantulas the the tarantula scene was a cool idea And it worked to a degree But you can see where there's real tarantulas, but then there's the fake ones and the fake ones just move just like They just like teeter from side to side and it looks so funny and stupid um And the noise the noise of them moving is so over the top and that's one of the things with this film The sound design is not that good in the sense of like the foley work Like using a sound of like crunching gravel for the tarantulas walking is very mismatched The the crazy shrieking of the gurney is way too much. That was overdone and it was just not good Um, so I wrote down that I thought the tarantula scene was very very laughable I did laugh out loud at this scene because it is extremely laughable, especially with how long The scene goes on it's another one of those moments of just it goes on too long And this is something that's happened throughout the film Just stretching these scenes too long. It's something that happened in city of the living dead as well I guess it's just a fulcrum thing. So I was like, uh The nail through the back of the head scene and pushing out the eyeball is quite a good one I think that was that was martha.  That's a great scene. That's really inspired Looks at outstanding. They did such a good job putting that one together And that's one of the things with this like I said like the gore looks good in the film The practical effects are good. They're inspired moments inspired scenes to it and that's one of them It's funny that emily's dog is named. I think dicky I think that's what it sounds like and it's also funny that he bites her throat out And the amount of blood that just comes gushing out is over the top It's kind of comical, but it makes it funny and fun. And I actually like that. It was just like It just kept going and I was just like, yeah And then uh, you just I mean, I'm sure she didn't expect to have her dog turn around on her and just rip her throat out But the other thing is like she was telling her dog to attack these zombies Like she had to know it wasn't actually gonna work You know and also does she actually love that dog?   I'm glad he ripped her throat out Uh, and then where's this dude getting all these bullets the the guy who's Who's fighting against the zombies at the end in the in the morgue As they just keep coming at him and just keep shooting these His revolver keeps regenerating bullets magically The other thing is the effect that they use for the bullets It just looks like they just splattered a little bit of paint Like it's just like a dot of red pretty much on when especially when they do the head shots like it doesn't look good to be honest and They just keep showing him shooting over and over and over It's another one of those things where they just keep going and going and going and it's like, okay We get the point. We're done with this now. It doesn't even look that good And there's no way he still has bullets. You ran out of bullets a long time ago, buddy Tension to detail Um, so again, just like city of the living dead, it's a slow overly drawn out ending But the girl getting her head blown off looked really good And it was unexpected the girl with the red hair that then ends up having her eyes glazed over I did not see it coming when her head just goes Which that guy didn't even have the bullets to do that. But whatever, you know, like But like I said, it was slow overly slow totally drawn out city of living dead the exact same thing They the endings seem very similar between the two films too I do like how they end up in the landscape at the end That was like the landscape that was in the painting that this, you know, demonic painter was was doing from inspiration from the book of aben Um I like that the they they try and roll in more of a roll with the book of aben into this one As opposed to city of the living dead in city of living dead. It's just kind of like, hey, there's this book Okay And in this one they try to, you know, put more of the book of aben lore into it And I think that worked a little bit better, but you know Still so light. All right, so let's talk about some thematic stuff and whatnot So since there are seven gates of hell, I actually assume they could have made four more movies in this Trilogy would have been a trilogy at that point But they could have made four more movies than they did because they even say in the film that there are seven gates of hell So I'm like, hmm, maybe someone can pick this up nowadays And go with it although it might be done in comics because I know there's A comic company called aben press that is going off a bunch of fulci stuff So I don't know if they're working with the gates of hell's Storyline if they are that'd be pretty cool and I might actually want to check that out The final film scenes were supposed to actually be shot in an amusement park initially But the logistics of actually getting it done were so Tough that they decided to take a pass on it The music was one of the best things about this film Like we already talked about the music by fabio frisi really really good excellent The sound design like I was saying is so off There are noises that are too over the top for what they're supposed to be The tarantulas we already talked about the insane popping Noise during the blood that's raining down in the basement scene It's so off for what it is like I was saying the fully work is just not matching the scene And then like we talked about that ear piercing squeaking gurney totally inappropriate No way Like city of the living dead there are lots of interestingly framed shots and nice fluid camera movements and panning So it looks really good. It's very cool But I feel like it also just borrowed a lot of stuff from city of the living dead I mean some some prime examples even though they're kind of small Uh an exploding window they use the basically the exact same thing there also In city of the living dead when there's these exploding window and then the glass is sticking in the wall And then it starts bleeding They did the exploding window in the beyond and then they also did like the painting Bleeding just like the wall was bleeding. So they just kind of like reuse some stuff So for that reason I actually didn't really like the beyond as much as I like city of the living dead to be honest But I still like the beyond. I thought it was good. So But like I said, you know, there's not a whole lot story wise So out of five stars with half stars in play. I'm gonna give it three stars I believe I gave city of living dead three and a half I'm gonna go three on the beyond and we will see where the house by the cemetery ends up coming in on this I know that that is actually the most profitable one Of the three I believe so I don't know if that translates to it actually being better or not, but we'll find out so Hopefully everyone enjoyed this.
