Hey there, folks. It's Monday, October 6th, and before Jason Isaacs was flashing his junk on a hot oh my gosh White lotus, he was in one of our absolute favorite sleepy little horror movies that you need to hear about. And with that, welcome to this episode, this horror hit list edition of Amy and tj. Why you say. Oh, my God. Yes. Jason Isaacs, with a guy, a guy that everybody was paying attention to with White Lotus, was in a little movie that a lot of people probably never heard of and didn't know he was in.
Amy Robach
It was just one way to get people's attention and you certainly got mine, so didn't know you were gonna go there. To start off. Our number 26 on our horror hit list on this Monday. And the name of the movie is Look Away. I thought you were gonna say it.
TJ Holmes
Clearly, we don't have a plan.
Amy Robach
Look Away. Look Away. It was released in October of 2018, so seven years ago. It was rated R. And it an hour 43. Now the synopsis is this. An alienated high school student, her name is Maria, her life has turned upside down when she switches places with her sinister mirror image. We loved the movie. We saw it a couple years ago actually. Correct.
TJ Holmes
Oh, yeah. I don't know how we came upon this one, how we found this one, but it's. Yeah, you gotta go looking for it. You gotta be curious.
Amy Robach
That's right. Because Rotten Tomatoes score, the critics review would not send you running to your TV to find where it's streaming, but we assure you, you it is brilliant. And especially when you consider it's not just Jason Isaacs in the cast, but you also have Mira Sorvino, who is incredible. She's an Academy Award winner if you don't recognize the name. And India Isley is the young woman who is the star of the show. But yes, just got 15% rotten tomatoes score. But this is of note and I always like when I see this. If you look at the audience score, if you. It's reversed, it's at 51%.
TJ Holmes
It's not great.
Amy Robach
Still not good enough. I don't think in terms of what we thought it was, I think it's a brilliant film. It's. It's silly at times because just the premise of it sometimes you have to buy into. But I loved it.
TJ Holmes
And so you got a 50, 50 chance of liking it if the audience score is 51%. But we are not, we absolutely are not going to be speaking about any movie here that we don't absolutely love and would REM recommend to somebody. Now, this one isn't for everybody necessarily, but we think it is. It's not. Yeah, we'll get into why we recommend it and all that stuff, but this, every single movie that's on here. We can stand by on our list.
Amy Robach
I think it's a surefire hit when you turn it on. If you want to be entertained, if you want to have a little fear, feel a little creepy. Some are scarier than others. But Look Away is, I think, a really interesting script with it and it's really, really well done. And so we'll read you some of what the critic said to get you just in that frame of thought. So this critic said director Asaph Bernstein's version of this in Look Away turns into a slow paced horror film that aims for depth but delivers cheap thrills.
TJ Holmes
I don't know what the depth. What was the depth in this? It had to do with, I don't know, young lady finding her inner beauty. A young lady finding her better self, but ends up being a terrible self, I guess is a self reflection type of depth to it.
Amy Robach
I always thought it was more of an alter ego kind of thing where we all have this evil twin inside of us and this one actually comes. Well, it comes to fruition. Not something you just fantasize about or think, what if I actually followed through on this dark thought I'm having, but the person who's having that dark thought actually takes over and so that's kind of what the premise is of this movie. Did that make any sense? You're kind of rolling your eyes at me.
TJ Holmes
You lost me somewhere. I'm not even sure where I got lost. But no, I, I never looked at this movie and thought anything about depth. Right. It, it examined some themes that people can relate to and certainly young people, teenagers coming up and coming of age and all this kind of stuff. But. And then cheap thrills. I didn't know it was going after cheap. This was not a jump scare, kind of.
Amy Robach
I didn't think there were any cheap thrills, actually. I thought the deaths were good, they weren't overly gruesome. Which yes, if people don't like a lot of blood and guts. This is a, this is a good movie because it's. I mean there are deaths and you do see blood, but it's not that gruesome. I actually thought this was a pretty good. I mean in, in terms of bad reviews. It's not a terrible review and I kind of agree with some of it. It might not be the savviest horror ever made due to its juvenile messaging, but it's clean and cold aesthetics and villainous characters just about manage to pull it through.
TJ Holmes
They do. They pull it off because at least two of the performance Are from like very acclaimed, even Oscar winning actors. And then the young lady who plays the lead has to play two leads. She has to pay play herself and then an evil twin of that person, if you will. So it's performances are solid. Even the friends of supporting cast. This is not. This is a well done movie.
Amy Robach
Yeah, I thought it was really good. So yeah, I don't. This. Here's another review. It just, you know, it's so interesting when critics jump on and, and say things that I just don't agree with. The mirror on the wall doesn't reveal the fairest of them all in this lackluster psychological thriller that never gains much narra narrative traction despite a decent premise. I just, I thought it was good. I never once wanted to. I never got bored. I never once wanted to turn it off. I was engaged the entire time and thought it was well done.
TJ Holmes
Now look, a lot of people look for movies and look for more depth and they ah, that's very good writing. Or this. And look for those types of things. We're just looking to be entertained and have a little fun watching a horror movie. And we do.
Amy Robach
Okay. So here's why it made our list first off. And we've made this really clear. Incredible acting and I love some fun evil teen stuff. Like this was just one of those fun you. If you're in that genre. I would say the concept was amazing. The idea that your evil twin or your alter ego takes over to do or say whatever you want without considering the consequences. So that was something that I just found really intriguing and very highly entertaining.
TJ Holmes
Heads up. Don't try to make sense of this. Well, that's stupid. Why is it twin. Don't, don't do that. This is just. Don't try to put a practical spin on it. It doesn't make. No, it's a supernatural, just a silly, almost teeny. Yeah, horror film. This is not a big slasher type movie at all. And like you said, there's not a lot of blood and guts.
Amy Robach
Yeah.
TJ Holmes
In this movie it's just not. But they have a creep factor in here. It's not just creepy like make your skin crawl because they're doing some body horror or some weird sounds. But they set up some situations between this young lady and her dad, a young lady and her mom that are just uncomfortable, comfortable that it creeps you out and that adds to a lot of the tension in the fun of the movie.
Amy Robach
I agree. I think that is part of what makes it fun because it is so dang uncomfortable. It Makes you go E. So who is this movie for? If you like teen themed high school horror films, this is great. And there are, there is that sub genre and I, I love them all. We both love those settings. It's fun. It automatically puts a fun factor to it.
TJ Holmes
There's a ton of movies like this out there. You immediately go to Carrie and the. There have been so many prom scenes throughout the years. This one includes one. But you do. You have a tormented. A tortured high school teenager who's not with the in crowd, who gets picked on, who gets bullied and all these things. And then all of a sudden she gets to have her moment because her evil twin takes over for her. That's the concept and that works with this high school. She gets back at all the people that did her wrong, that whole thing.
Amy Robach
Yeah. So I was going to say if you like revenge horror, that's. And you just summed it up. Revenge horror. If you liked Stephen King's Carrie, you will like this movie. And it's different because it's a little bit more fun than Carrie. Carrie's a little bit more serious. Yes. He's amazing. I know, but he's got so much.
TJ Holmes
Good stuff, I forget about stuff he does.
Amy Robach
So I would say if you liked Carrie, you'll appreciate this movie. But it's not as heavy. It is sinister. It is, it's so. It's got a twist. It's not like it's a replica or a knockoff of it, but it has a similar theme. So again, if you appreciate good acting, there are stellar performances. If you don't like a lot of gore, there are some great deaths. So I think this the movie for you and I think if you're. Again, this could be a starter horror movie too because you don't have to love the genre of horror to like this movie.
TJ Holmes
This is a. Let's go. This is a thriller horror. That's a slash in there. Probably with that because it's. I. I'm trying to remember a single jump scare. I'm sure there had to be one in there to require for most horror movies, but it's not that type of thing. But you're still on the edge of your seat in a lot of ways. But you're not worried for a monster to jump out of the closet and start stabbing people?
Amy Robach
Yeah, it's.
TJ Holmes
Monsters don't carry knives.
Amy Robach
Well, they could, but it's suspenseful, I think is a good way to put it. It's suspenseful, it's creepy, it'll keep you Entertained. And it's just fun to watch these actors do what they do so well.
TJ Holmes
We should give Jason Isaacs credit. If you loved him in White Lotus, you're gonna love him here because he's almost the same type of mean dad, right? Loving, caring, but not exactly sure how to go about doing the loving and caring and make some errors along the way. He is the same character almost, but he's meaner.
Amy Robach
He's. He's meaner in this one. I mean, eviscerating. I mean, I think there's not loving, there's a little befuddledness and humility in his character in White Lotus, maybe perhaps because he was losing everything. But in this one, he's just mean and biting and unfeeling and yeah, he's kind of a despicable dad and a despicable husband in this. So he's easy to not like, but he.
TJ Holmes
He nails the role again.
Amy Robach
Yes. For us to elicit or for him to elicit that much feeling about his character. You know, he did his job right. And Mira Sorvino did such a good job. It. Honestly, I hate saying this word, but kind of playing a pathetic wife, a pathetic mom, this. This powerless woman, but she does it so well. And just the dynamic between her and her daughter and her and her husband. She has an amazing performance as well.
TJ Holmes
This cat. She's probably. I mean, she's a supporting character as the mom, but trying to think of what her relevance. She is the scene stealer. I think in the movie, she makes you feel something. You relate to something. You recognize something in her just by the look on her face or in her eyes. At times, she gives a performance here that is worthy of an Oscar winner. I suppose she's good.
Amy Robach
She brought the heart because Jason Isaac's character is just mean. And then the teen gets all twisted and evil. So she's. She's the sad one you're rooting for, but you're also annoyed with her because she won't. She won't stand up for herself in any way. But she does represent the heart. Heart, I think, of the movie. And so, yes, all of those elements together make it a great film. So we're going to tell you now and I, we have some specifics about who this film is not for. There is. There are a couple warnings and then what to pair it with snacks, food, setting, drinks, all of that. We're also going to tell you where you can watch it and what movie. We'll give you a hint about what our next movie is. So stay with us. When I looked in the mirror, I expected to see weight loss from my GLP1. Not unwanted hollowing in my face, sagging skin and wrinkles, my face looking older. That was never part of my plan. So I did something about it. I restored my skin's glow and refreshed my look.

Welcome back. As we talk about our number 26 on deep guts, Amy and TJ's horror hit list. And number 26 is look away. It is one you probably have not heard of. What did it do? Just a little over a million at the box office because it was actually never released domestically, only internationally. So you can get it streaming. We'll tell you where in just a bit. But this has an a list of cast members including Jason Isaacs, Mira Sorvino, just to name a few. But this is a deliciously evil fun teen thriller horror. So we told you why it made the list. But. And who it's for. But here's who it's not for. If you need your horror to be realistic, you want it to feel like this could happen. This is definitely not for you. It's supernatural and it's. Some people might kind of roll their eyes a little bit at the premise but we thought it was fun. Something about this mirror image. But I also would not watch this with anyone. It would be uncomfortable to watch a self pleasuring scene or teen sex scenes with AKA this might not be a good family horror movie. I wouldn't want to watch it with my kids and I wouldn't want to watch it with my parents. So if, you know, I just wanted to put out that warning that it is a little uncomfortable if you're not watching it with the right people.
TJ Holmes
I don't usually want to watch most movies with my kids or parents so there's that. This movie is no exception there for me.
Amy Robach
But masturbation and teen sex.
TJ Holmes
Ooh, yeah, it gets a little. And again it's not necessarily. I wouldn't have a problem with a teen kid necessarily watching it. I just don't want to be in room with the kid.
Amy Robach
Correct.
TJ Holmes
While they're watching the movies. Which is what you're essentially saying. I don't look the folks we're talking to here. This is not a traditional horror. This. This. Of all the movies we have on the list, this one might be the closest to not being a horror movie movie out of all of them. So in that regard, if you are not that you need the action, you need somebody chased and screaming and all this is not going to be your lane. Some Called it slow. I think it's a slower pace, but the tension is there and builds throughout. So I'm not. I was. Oh, you're never bored.
Amy Robach
Yeah. Who is there? Anyone you think shouldn't watch this movie? Shouldn't.
TJ Holmes
Oh, my goodness. They could make this one rated G for all I care. Because this is for general audiences. Anybody can stop this.
Amy Robach
I just mentioned masturbation, teen sex.
TJ Holmes
What I'm saying, for the people who do. I'm not recommending a child watch the movie. What I'm saying is anybody who is a movie watcher, I don't have a warning in here for anybody to say, just as a matter of preferences and style. But I still think even if you like the slashers, even if you need to see a girl running through the woods and falling over a brick that ain't even there, this is still a movie you will like. I recommend it for everybody across the way, especially, folks. This is another starter horror movie, if you will.
Amy Robach
Agreed. Agreed. All right, so I had some fun with this one and trying to figure out what to pair it with. Snacks, drinks, food, setting. So this is absolutely revenge horror. So we all know that revenge is a dish. Beth serve cold. And the movie is completely set in winter with snow and ice. So you do feel the chill of the movie on multiple levels. So I. I would pair it with an Irish coffee, a hot toddy, mulled wine, just to warm yourself up, maybe some dessert. Try to sweeten it up, because this girl is very salty, and I see it with a big blanket and someone to snuggle with.
TJ Holmes
Okay, you. You gave it way too much thought. Like, you were. You were like the critics who want everything to be deep. You put a little too much depth into what the hell you're supposed to eat and drink during this movie. I applaud you. Don't take. You. You. You gave. You took the assignment seriously. Just. Just grab some popcorn, folks, on this one and a beer and have a good time.
Amy Robach
No, but you know what? Don't you feel like when you watch a movie that is completely.
TJ Holmes
That I keep not hitting the mic. Sorry, y'. All.
Amy Robach
You need to drop the mic, not hit the mic. So when you watch a movie that's set in the cold like this, and really, there's. There's a great ice skating. There are two great ice skating scenes, actually. They're both set on ice. In ice.
TJ Holmes
Second one's fun.
Amy Robach
Second one was fun, but I thought the first one was really fun, too.
TJ Holmes
This one's kind of. Wait, we're talking about the same, yeah.
Amy Robach
Because there's Prom is on Ice. Oh, yeah, and that's what I thought you were referring to.
TJ Holmes
I'm talking about the latter one with your friend.
Amy Robach
That was the first like. Like really fun icing, I thought.
TJ Holmes
And it's almost ridiculous. It's almost silly, some of these scenes you see, but they still build some kind of tension and it's. This is a fun movie. Even if you think it's ridiculous and you laugh about it, you still enjoy what you're seeing.
Amy Robach
I agree. So where can you watch it? Amazon prime subscribers, y' all get to watch it for free, so that is fun. But it's anywhere you stream. You can just. If you need to purchase it, you can. It's pretty much everywhere, so it'll be easy to find. It's a fun watch. Would you watch this with a crowd? By yourself? A couple?
TJ Holmes
You can do this one on your own. You know what I would almost say, because it's the 50 on the audience score. I. I wouldn't. Maybe the person you're with is not going to be into it. It might ruin it for you. Right. Like you. They might influence how you are seeing this particular movie. So I don't mind if you watch this alone. Again, I say horror movies, you should always have somebody there with you. But this is a fun one, almost. To look at each other and go, is somebody else having the same reaction to this I'm having? That would be fun.
Amy Robach
Yeah, I think. I mean, you and I obviously would be able to watch this together, but this is another one where you can watch alone. And not all horror movies are like that. But this, this works as a thriller. It builds, it slows. So if you just have a fun night on the couch, that's perfect. This movie is perfect for you. All right, so we have our next movie coming out tomorrow. It will be our number 25. And here's the best tease I have for it. If you want to chime in and add anything else, feel free. I would call this next movie number 25. It will be. It's unexpected, it's retro, and it's a found footage film.
TJ Holmes
And it is not for the main department.
Amy Robach
