the tension was masterful, my heart rate is quickened!

It is time for an HP Lovecraft Renaissance! If I don't get to see Elder Things in an Updated Adaptation of At the Mountain of Madness before I die, I am coming back as a ghost and haunting the hell out of somebody!

Very good acting job but the plot is kinda meh.. the guy obviously knew what he is messing with, so it was weird to see him so scared when he was "caught by surprise"

I really like how most of this film seems like it's one continuous, smooth shot. Very skillful on a technical level. It's good at building tension in a very short time, and just enough happens that the story makes sense, while enough is left unexplained that we're still mystified. Always a plus for cosmic horror.

This is exactly the kind of atmospheric horror we need. Very well done, can't wait to see more!

So i am asking myself thing. Is there a single "Horror Short Film" to not win an award?

I can see why this was an award winning film. Beautiful production all around!

With this level of genius, a whole hollywood budget would blow the competition away.

Well done. I can see why this film won all the awards that it did. The atmosphere of the film was so well developed, and as jaded as I am, the ending still made me jump. 😊 And top-notch acting!

Excellent! Ich will mehr!!!

Wow wow wow. That was pure lovecraftian atmosphere… No words guys… Loved it!!!

Perfectly done. Couldn't ask for better pacing, atmosphere and acting. Can't wait to see more!

Loved it! The camera was amazing, the actor and the ending!!!

I love how some ppl literally reads "pact with devil" to a ghostly opened door knowing it will be a bad idea.

A wonderful gem. The cinematography is just insane, and i highly suspect some of the sequences were actually played backward. The actor's performance is sick. For my taste, the masterpiece was extremely close, not showing the antagonist at all would have been way more lovecraftian in my opinion.

Really interesting way to present this with the whole one-shot illusion thing. Good job!

A truly heartwarming motion picture for the whole family!😮

Fantastic! Thank you making this

A genuinely creepy little film, well done.!!!

Yes! Acting, camerawork, directing, and the sound design! I love the snapping fingers!

Extremely well done...want this story to go on.

Morale of the story: "Play stupid games, win stupid prices." Very nice cinematography and atmospheric ambience. Keep up the good work.

HPL steps out of the Door and asks "Excuse me kind Sir, Is this not Boston?"

that was sressful...in a good way ty

The camera work IS the story here.

This was absolutely amazing 🤩

Oh my god this is amazing! Subscribed!

Wow you chose a great setting to film this in!

This needs much more views and appreciation. Well done, I loved it.

take a shot every time he dramatically removes his glasses (this was a cool little film)

Well done, and to the point which is Lovecraftian cosmic terrror!!! 😎

my door does that sometimes.

Oh, this is good. The soundscape is blisteringly good!

Amazing and well-crafted!

the old choke-hold routine. I mean.. how does he not pull back from that instead of trying to jerk the demon into his world by the arm? I would not have grabbed that arm. Just step back and you're free. Nice buildup to that tho.

Congratulations..intense, beautiful and creative

Simple and effective. The camera work, lighting and sound is terror inducing. Very good work.

Stellar camera work.

This was AWESOME!!!!

THAT WAS AWESOME! 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍

Klasse.Sehr gut gemacht und sehr unheimlich.

I love how you crafted this. I AM IN LOVE...craft.

Truly beautiful... That aching sense of loss... The autumnal melancholy... That "end of all things" ( or at least YOUR time) feel so perfectly expressed by Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner back when I was young... 1982? 83? So long ago... Now I am an old man and understand it even more. All times end, all men die... As Edward James Olmos' character says about the replicant played by Sean Young: " Too bad she won't last......... But which of us does!?"

I enjoyed this. Makes me want more. Great job. 👍🏾

So simple. So chilling. Excellent film

Wonderful!!!!

When faced with a low budget, get creative. All those awards, justified. This is a hella good short, reminds me of those geniuses who were making films like Nosferatu and Metropolis back in the day. I have a feeling that we're going to see more of this sort of thing coming out of Germany in the future, and I can't wait.

Great creepy warehouse setting. You can imagine all the things stored there that never see the light of day. Loved the old worn looking book. The use of the glasses made it seem real as someone who wears glasses their use was effective. Two issues. I think we all got it. Knock, open, read...didnt need to keep repeating. To me made it seem like you thought the audience was too dumb to put it together. And not a fan of the end. Like what's the point? Wait another 100 years for someone to do it again? I guess it might be because he didnt open the door, or read the complete passage. Really enjoyed the short. Thank you.

Great film! Congratulations!

That was an impressive short

The actor was very good. Speech, delivery, tone, cadence. Also has a striking, leading man look to him. Color, camera, lighting looks good too. Obviously a lot of work and care was given to this project. Must give respect to where it's due. That being said I don't see how this received several awards and I'm honestly wondering if whoever produced this simply added that particular graphic? I encourage whoever made this to keep on making features. There's potential there because it's not bad by any means at all.

Rood is also the Dutch word for the color red.

Überragender Kurzfilm

Very Good love the atmosphere

This is REALLY good.

Fantastic Lovecraftian film!! You did an awesome job #SkyroadFilms

Awesome !

This was great.

Great and genius...so simple but swesome

Phenomenal cinematography.

I really liked this, nice. 👍🏽

Super beau montage de qualité.

Well what did he think was going to happen?!

Are you supposed to chuckle with relief at the ending, or did I misinterpret the deeper meaning?

Excellent!

Sweet. Simple. Effective.

Excellent !! I really enjoyed this .

Really well done!

Spine tingling. Great Work!!!!!

This soo need to be the beginning scene of a feature

Welldone

Outstanding video 😎👍

The guy is really smart, cool voice!

This seems very reliant on sound effects to add drama and tension to situations that lack them. Such effects ought to reinforce horror rather than be solely responsible for them.

Pretty slick for a simple film. Somehow I knew something was going to reach out from the door and grab him. But I was expecting a tentacle.

Damn the time went fast. Just when I was wanting more. But alas it was perfect in everything.

Wow… I’m hooked now

Amazing... horrifying.. shocking...

Really well done! I think I sense a touch of Lynch and Badalamenti, which is fine by me.

Lovecrafian through and through who needs 2 hours to build dread when 2 minutes can do it

How rood!

NIce. I loved the actor's voice. It was perfect.

A bloody hand? That's your big finish?

the actor taking his sunglasses on and off was cracking me up, but it was very well made.

A well produced grade 6 script.

I was hoping for tentacles.

What a good...good acting and narrative

Loved it.

well done!

"Hell of hells - Pact with the devil" - what did he expect?:)

Does anyone know who the music is by at the end credits?

LIKE IT

Great video!

Absolutely pure genious. To create so much tension with nothing but a man, a book, and a door frame. The script and the score appropriately tap into our deepest apprehensions of the unknown. Perfectly executed. Bravissimo!

Bussare, Aprire, Leggere.

I love it, I really enjoy cosmic horror.

Brilliant.

Congratulations, this production is amazing, very well done scenes and atmosphere!

Camera angles were immaculate

Spooky.
