Moral: people who walk upside down on all fours are not your friends.

but I honestly think my favourite line of the whole movie was at the beginning "No. But it's important we share our stories. Because in the end. It's all we are" The connection between him and his kids..that right there. Best.

At least the Skin Walker was polite enough to knock instead of barging in🙂

I don't know why but seeing bare feet from underneath the bed seems so much more terrifying than any kind of shoes or boots. 🎃👻👍

This was GOOOOOOOD. The jumpscare at the road was great, way better than a lot of stuff i've seen. And the ending was awesome too, she actually stabbed it with the blessed dagger instead of paralyzing and becoming a potato sack like most horror movie victims. Loved it!

The flight or fight situation here is intense.

This is one of the best ones I've seen in a long time.

Great short, I honestly think this story's origin is true (skin walking). I really can't imagine being so scared that I could not keep quiet, knowing my life depends on it.

The sound on this one was very low. I had my volume turned up to the max and still couldn't hear properly.

Good one! Very creepy....had me on edge the entire time, which is hard to do these days. I love horror/scary movies. However I've noticed the more I watch and learn about them I've become a bit desensitized to the "scare" factor. So when I find one that puts me on edge that's when I know I found an extra good one yk. 👍

The last scene was amazingly done!! The way she held her breath in and hid under the bed was sooo realistic. It was what any normal person would do in that situation. Unlike some horror movies, this was very realistically accurate and altogether terrifying! It's funny how shorter films like this can give me the chills that even 3 hour long 'horror' movies cannot.

I just remembered my dear grandmother (passed away 23 years ago), she used to tell me horrific stories about fellow villagers bumping into satan while walking at night or another one witnessing a fight among the dead, those rising from their tombs and those that emerge from the sea as they had lost their lives by drowning after shipwrecking.. Listening to such stories at night (in a village where electricity was still a luxury and the population was just a handful of people) and me being barely 6 years old.. No wander why i grew up developing a rather fd up personality.. The most chilling fact is that the night she died she visited me in my sleep, she gave me this very tight hug, i could feel her all her bones pressing hard against my body and her bony jaws sucking on my cheek.

thank you for acknowledging native American heritage month, lovely to see.

I don't scare easily. It happens, but it's rare. This truly scared me. It was actually bad enough that for the last 2 minutes or so, I literally went to the other side of the room - close enough to my screen that I could still see what happened, but far enough away that I felt "safer." Bravo - they did a really good job on this one.

The theme of heritage is explored so well, and what better monster than the terrifying skinwalker. The production is of such high quality, too. Kudos all around.

This is real! Imagine seeing an actual “SkinWalker” as a child living in the city!! I was beyond afraid! It took years and years for me to find out my family’s history and the curse someone placed on my family! God released it!!

Reminds me of a short horror movie where a creature had gotten into the house or had been there already and it could mimic anyone's voice. It preys on people. From Crypt Tv.

I used to be so terrified of the Wendigo/Skinwalker stories growing up, now I'm 40 I absolutely love researching everything about them. Even more enjoy telling my children about the Navajo legends

Good script, good acting, good atmosphere . It was one of the best short horror movies i’ve ever seen ! Well done! 👏👏👏

This short had so much character development and story that the 15 minute length almost felt like a full-length feature. There's quick backstory which sets up the coming horror so we know what to expect. Then, there's strong emotional characterization in the kids which transitions into adulthood and then shows relationships in pieces. And still we have the first scare on the road, the tension growing as the Skinwalker stalks the protagonist and how it doesn't immediately attack, which honestly is much scarier. The final reveal is just horrific. The movie ends right where it should. Definitely want to see more indigenous filmmakers and stories. This kicks ass! I really want Alter to make the credits section bigger. I want to know more about the cast but I couldn't read the credits because it was shrunken down too much at the end. The credits can easily take up the entire left side of the screen with the Alter logo somewhere else than dead-center. There is a crew list in the description of this video, which is good, but no actor list.

This was a really good scary short! The origin of the skin walker being Native American is true though, but I think throughout history every culture has had their version of it as well. Also I've read that being a recovering addict makes you more susceptible for these things to grab a hold on you, but who knows, I mean after all, its just a legend, right? Anyway...good job!

This was DAMN SCARY‼️ That first bang scared the heck outta me‼️

So did the knife dipped in ash work?

This was a really well done horror short. The atmosphere and the creature was really well done. Usually monsters/creatures in horror movies are overdone hence they take the scare factor out of them but this one was really creepy. I absolutely loved this horror short.

WoW!! I usually am not easily scared, because I watch/ read Horror All the time!! But, THIS...actually scared the Hell Outta me!! Great job!! ❤

WHEW, SHIVERY GOOD! 😱 Thank you for posting a great video yet again! 😘

I would like a part 2 please...

Well done! Bravo...after a long time a horror movie made me scared like hell. I could literally feel my head swelling up and hair standing at its ends watching the last scene.

Oh my fkn days!! That was really really good,less is most definitely more!! Anxiety and lots of fkng hells!!

Happy diwali everyone

Me at 12 am now 👁️👄👁️

That was absolutely terrifying ! and I got instant chills when the dad mentioned that you couldn’t say the creatures nAme since I figured it was probably a skinwalker

This one was awesome! Love the camera work in it! Seriously something special! ❤️❤️

Omg that was intense

Thanks guys, for supporting Native American art and actors. ⚡️🪶🪶🪶🪶🪶🪶🪶🪶🪶🪶🪶🪶🪶🪶🪶

Well done! Compelling story and genuinely scary. A great proof of concept for a feature. I would love to see the family's story fleshed out.

THOSE TOENAILS ARE NASTY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm half Lumbee and half black my grandmother use to tell me and my cousins about skinwalkers way before the internet came around and told the world what they are that was a great short awesome job

well done great acting , set story , could be a full film on main stream ,

Congratulations ALTER for 2 million subs 👏🏻🙌❤💙

Great Movie. Good effects especially the skinwalker?! creature walking with the "almost there" toenail/talons.

This was done so well! Amazing short film! I would pay to watch this! Hope someday soon maybe a full length? This one is awesome.

This is so crazy. I was just saying to a girl yesterday that I didn't want to go someplace because of a person and she remembered but forget the person's name and I said good then they shall remain nameless because of things that have happened around that and I went into how I pray against what I think is dark magic. I felt crazy talking but this is so well done. I also have to say I love that it's Native (or Indigenous...sorry I never know which to use because some people prefer Native and some prefer Indigenous so whatever the writers want here). I was just thinking the other day I have seen so much representation on Alter but nothing on Indigenous. I am not saying they never represented as there is lots I haven't seen on Alter but until now I didn't see anything....and White Ash! My boyfriend is half native and his band is the McMa or McMaw...band and he told me there tree of protection is the Ash tree. It's their spirit tree. I don't think it's the White Ash but the point about it being dipped in White Ash. And that turn around point of her not leaving the reservation to her waking up far away from it. This was fantastic. I felt like it was so deeply layered and that darkness that came behind her when she stepped outside was so foreboding and terrifying. At first I was only going to say Wow! Because I feel like I could talk about this film for days and still not shut up and I still won't have managed to say how awe -in-my-heart it got. I will say that the use of what I perceived as a face to ward away evil on the tree that was now just smoothed over got to me. I really don't know if that's what it was supposed to be. Maybe it was just a stump but I really felt the significance if not on a mental level than a spiritual one. Beautifully done. And that line about if you say their name you invite them in to prey on you...yeah, that!

Certified Gold!!!!!🙂

Excellent movie, I love the actress, very intelligent, and the monster was terrifying. Perfect film!

While I am quite familiar with both the skin walker and Wendigo legends, I was nor aware of either being a part of Seminole lore and especially the skin walker as that is almost exclusively a southwest character. That being said and except for the fact the volume left much to be desired, the production was quite well done from the sets to the cinematography and the acting. Jessica, you and the entire crew did an excellent job with this presentation, kudos to all.

Intense!! Loved this, great acting talent, wonderfully shot. I hope to see more thank you!

she didn't permission it in, right???? but it still came and knife strike at face is 10000% marvelous. Just love that.

I love how she was having none of it and actually took a swing at the creature

Dad looks like Jonathan Davis from Korn 😄🤘🏻

Okay… holy shit!!! This one had my nerves on edge!

Wow! This is so good! Everything about this film is so good! Amazing work ! Thank you!

Man, that would be so scary! I don't know which is worse - knowing it's there and not seeing it, or seeing the thing.

This was an awesome one!!! I love it! Good job filmmakers and thank you to Alter for acknowledging and celebrating Native American Heritage Month! ❤️ You are awesome!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This was good!! Whoever is writing these you are so so incredibly talented! That was so scary!😭

some times I wanna see what happens AFTER...

Absolutely terrifying! Sleeping with my lights on now

Yep...PLEASE make this into at least an hour movie.

Okay...WOW this is horrifyingly amazing!

This was awesome! An image of the demon through her car window would have been great while she was on the phone driving.

I love cryptid stories, especially skinwalkers and Wendigo stories! Great short need more!

Dayumn! That one was too scary for me! Based around folklore and truths make it 100x’s creepier and awesome! 👻

Love this one love my native roots and being indigenous it reminds of the old scary stories my Auntie used to tell me on the reservation whn I spent weekends with her may she RIP the skin walker stories were so scary to me ...She would have loved this one here she loved horror movies thts where i get it from this was a real good one thank you so much ❤ 😘

Very, very nice! I love stories about Natives and the shapeshifter was a touch of creativity. Good acting, nice lights! 👌👌

Brilliant! Made me jump!

This was great. Well done

I enjoyed the ambiguity of the ending of this one. Really cool premise and well executed, awesome job on this one

That was absolutely awesome!

Instead of you finding a monster under the bed, the monster finds you under the bed!

EXCELLENT.....definitely gave me the chills

That was awesome, thank you, blessed be💖

That was pretty intense, great short!😮😬😨👍

So good and scary!! Loved it!!

It was scary

at the 6:31 frame I have spaghetti all over the wall and carpet, thank you Alter.

This was awesome!!

Daaaamn this is a good one, great acting 👌🏽

Skinwalkers ain't no joke either, makes this video scarier.

Very effective, thanks!

Damn that was good Thank you ALTER

Young Elena's eyes are absolutely gorgeous.

Hoping for maybe part 2 great job once again

Some issues: The dialog at the beginning lacked name callingto establish characters. Not so much an issue except that the first guy (dad?) was dressed almost identical to the second guy (ex husband? ) and I wasn't sure who was who at first. Also, why did the demon come for Elaine? Because she's sad? None of the plot points (dad dying, drug addiction, mom neglect, abusive ex) attributed to the attack. We see the knife in the first act, then all the events afterwards were just filler until she grabs the knife in the 3rd act. She could have lived a happy life and still ended up in the same predicament. Music and lighting were good. Also, camera upclose helped with tension building

I could definitely watch this as a full length movie

This actress is beautiful!

Thank god, I found this movie in daylight or I would have creeped out....BTW I really loved it!!🤩🤩🖤

i love all ur vdos

I enjoyed the entirety of this film. It keeps you on edge and the ending was fun!

This was a good one!!

Wonderful short! Bravoooo !

SO GREAT

Awesome

Oh and sorry I also wanted to say the colours on the steering wheel and it turning shot followed a bit later at the 5:16 timestamp with the eagle going by and the man with the look and then that line "don't worry dad's fine. We just need to adjust his meds again". Heartbreaking terrifying depths. and the strangeness of dad didn't make it to work today and he probably just got confused about the time again and he''ll make it home soon. You plunged us! Certified!

I just loved this!

in these horror films that involve a person returning to their childhood homes to recover from a bad situation, why is there never another person around in that home?? I'm just wondering...

Advance Congratulations For 2M !!!! Love From Pakistan💚❤💚❤!

Okay but can we talk about that transition at the @3:00 min mark.... that was quite insane..

Wow, so believable. Wonderful actress thank you..

Loved this
