Never walk backwards. There is always something behind you.

Music kills!! The music have more thrill than the video !

It delievered a trully eerie feeling, something not always achieved. But it ends without enough development.

So sorry. I give these movies all a chance. The cinematography was awesome and the set was beautiful.. I loved how everything was antique except the monitor.. But I just felt like it was so extremely predictable. Without the score it wouldn't have had much surprise. But like any artist, we all learn through our mistakes! Good luck to the makers of this film. Weird. I never say this kind of thing. I feel kinda bad. Not hating just being honest. I guess that's what the comment section is for right? ❤

This is a perfect example of how good execution, talented acting and skilled filmography can take a fairly run of the mill horror story to the next level and create something that stands out. Was this story original? Absolutely not. There was a storm, the lights went out, creaks and bumps and something in the dark. All things we've seen before. But this was crafted wonderfully, and I found myself getting genuine chills.

*Horror Movie Victim DIY* : Never lock your doors when you come home or leave home✔ Leave your blinds open day and night✔ Make sure your house has alot of windows✔ React to everything like a nieve helpless fawn✔ Always have an cell phone at 1%✔ 3rd dates are bad luck💯

No words were spoken throughout the whole film.

I love these short horror movies than a full fledged horror movie which consist of only 1% horror in it.

great sound effects!

Great build-up of suspense - also, scared the bee-jeezus outta me !

The scariest part was when she hid and didn't cover her mouth. I 'bout lost it!! Lololol No, but seriously...this was GOOD!!! Thank you so much for the entertainment!!

Spoilers! Cinematography was great. Acting was well great. Audio (a big thing for me) was great. But... the story. This had all the elements of a great horror short, but it felt like it had nowhere to go. 1. She comes home and doesn't lock the front door. "Well, that's just asking to be murdered.", I thought. 2. It seemed like the device that she heard the weird noises from was like a baby monitor, but there didn't appear to be a baby. Why was that device there? It seemed like it only existed to provide an ominous sound which she immediately ignores. 3. The power goes out, and she hears a noise from upstairs. Her first reaction is to go up to check it out - without anything to defend herself? "She really does want to be murdered.", I concluded. 4. She drops an oil lamp on the floor, but doesn't seem at all concerned about whether or not it will start a fire, or if she can get it relit (in fact, she never even looks at the lamp after she falls). She just opens the door. 5. Seeing the monster (ignoring the questions of how or why a tree monster got in her upstairs room - the windows aren't broken), she doesn't shut the door, she just runs downstairs to the front door (which she didn't lock in the beginning, but now it's locked). 6. Her keys are not where she left them, because apparently the monster is baiting her to get them. Why? This creature can move around much faster than she can (since it was able to beat her down the stairs to grab her keys without her noticing it), so why not just kill her if that's the goal? So, it might have made more sense if it had been set up that as she was coming home she saw a creepy looking tree and something about it frightened her, or if she had just hit a tree with her car and it wanted revenge, or if she was a climate change denier - anything! But there was no apparent reason for any of it. Instead, the only answer that makes sense is that she's lost her mind. A person who comes home during a raging thunderstorm and thinks "I should start vacuuming!" is already half-way to crazy town, so when the power goes out, she snaps. She sees a coatrack, and it becomes a fanciful monster. I don't like this idea, because there's not a lot to support it, and I don't think that was the intention of the filmmakers. Instead, it seems like some very talented people got together to make a horror short, and figured that if they just had an unexplained monster with no discernible goals in a well done atmosphere, that would be enough. And maybe for some people it is. But it would be nice to see what this group could do with a solid story. I bet it would be amazing... :)

Seriously? I hear a noise like that coming over a monitor; grab coat, grab keys, grab phone, run like hell!

My reaction: -jeez, a real audiophile with magnetic tape version of moonlight sonata? -A kerosene lamp?! She is old school! -What, an Ikea baby monitor? wth -Was that a skeleton stood up in the corner of the nursery? okayyyyy -Is that a coat rack? WITH ARMS? Not scared

Good show mate 👍🏼 I loved the unique and original sound this creature made 👌🏼 Very unusual and terrifying 😳

👏👏👏 Well done!🌹 The music was exquisite❣️ Please stay 'safe' , EVERYONE❣️ BLESSED BE~🌜

Good job.was full of suspense and thrill. The eerie atmosphere was scary enough to give me goosebumps.

I really enjoyed this short film. "Jump-scares" are always good tactics to bring home the thrillride. I absolutely love me a good jump-scare"!

Thank you. I ended the suspense. It was scary.😬😘💞💞❤

I like the atmosphere and the tone of this little movie. I also like it, that you cannot clearly see the threat but you know it´s there. Great job.

Well, let me tell you, as a mom and a grandma, if the baby monitor started making that kind of noise I’d be up those stairs in SECONDS. You need to somehow make it clear that there’s no baby in there

The quality of sound and background music is really good in this...it really makes you think of all the different elements, over and above the story and the acting, that go towards making a good piece of atmosphere film. I really enjoyed this!

Very tense & compelling, well done.

we black people would've screamed and our nosey neighbors would've already been there.... along with the whole neighborhood 😂

Well that was scary and very good. Its amazing how much contribution a sound track is to a movie, very well done.

I loved it, wish it was longer. Awesome job on acting and video

This film has some hidden treasures and so I needed to see it again and again. The cello music at the end was one of them and also beautifully played.

The power goes out and she knows she’s alone, she hears sounds from upstairs and goes investigate... lol. She should’ve taken her chances in the storm.

Very creepy and atmospheric. Well done.

Scarey! I liked it. Good sound effects and mood music.

enjoyed the suspense. disappointed in ending. music volume bothers me but i enjoy the music. lightning was great. acting really good.

Fantastic surprise to hear the mind-blowing piece with Tina Guo on end credits! I truly hope it goes viral. I have to give it up to the composer for using cello + voice in such an original and haunting way (including cello as monster ‘voice!’). The melody is stuck in my head now, as it’s truly beautiful and it has a ‘language’ of its own.

Oh yes! I enjoyed that! I myself jumped a little after that bang from inside the door. 👍😱

Can you make a tutorial about lighting a scene...The colours are superb..the thunder and lighting was superb...bgm and sound effects was good..

I watched this twice so I’ll invest in a hopefully useful comment. Silent horror movie - the oh no, don’t go there!!!!! kind - with some strange choices (vacuum, baby monitor, keys) but it kept my interest. Only, They must have run out of money at the end as the monster looks puny and ridiculous, like it cost $5 tops to put together. The actress is a bit wooden and lifeless at times but overall maintains the illusion throughout. Finally, there’s a reason why the comments, hail the score as the true winner of the piece: it’s just awesome! I realized that it was what kept me watching (listening). Man, you have to give it up to the Scandis for superior melodies. I’m with everyone on the end credits, really chilling and unique! Thinking about it, it’s like a cheap bicycle with a Corvette engine.

Thought you were going a different way but nicely done.

This is the second short horror story I've watched in which a character apparently needed keys to get OUT of a house? Is that even a thing? Why does she have a baby monitor (and turned on) and a crib but no baby? Or at least no baby she seems concerned about. How did her keys get moved?

Why do you turn on Moonlight sonata if you're gonna vacuum? That is to listen and relax, definitely not to vacuum

Not bad for a starter film, but a bit predictable. I like creature features with more of a bite.

Nice cinematography! Music was too loud at certain parts

A classic in small format. The actress is very attractive and also does a very good job.

Colonna sonora da brividi: x poco me la faccio sotto!!!😵😵😵👍👍👍

Hundreds of short horrors.. I LOVE this one 🖤

I wish I could like this !,000 times. it's gorgeously haunting. The monster is so perfect. And the cello. Are you f'ing serious?

Is there anyone see anything??? Cause I just can see darkness and Panic background music, Anyway, what happened?

Cinematography, directing and sound are superb! There's only one minor thing for me, vacuuming at night seems a little unnatural.

Creepy film.. love this ❤️

Wonderfully made! And such compelling credit music! One must wonder about the story...I noticed there were baby toys in the living room yet the crib was empty... I wonder if the creatures is the mother's guilt over the child? Either way, lovely film!❤ Movie pros: the suspense and strategically placed scares. Cons: almost made me spill my beefaroni.

Excellent movie!

This is a great vid I don’t know why people are hateing

No flashlight 🔦 No butcher's knife 🔪 and ur going upstairs ? I don't even think she locked the front door ( u know THEY NEVER do 😉) . I would've waited downstairs for Mr. Sticks .. Let's do this 😠 !

Nice work man

I wish the whole film was that this lady was just cleaning the house with moonlight sonata and the sound of rain in the background.

Great suspense build only to fall totally flat.

They can't never seem to get out the front door....

This is what happens if you don't water the plants! They die of thirst and then haunt you!!

He just wanted to hug her, oh so cute 😂

I know a lot went in to the production of this film and it was well done but I need a little more. I have too many questions like, what was the monitor for? Where did the monster come from? And WHY is she walking backwards? Lol! I guess I liked it, I just want more of it.

Jesus l’m obsessed with the end credits. If l listen to it every day until the day I die, l will be happy with that! Someone tell me it’s on Spotify (Spain)

Always laugh at ur fears so that fear cant overtake u

This was so good ! More plz

Great...Great Acting

I love the music. Moonlight in sanata.

I'm not sure why people are questioning the award; you can just google it and there is proof (I did). The score is truly exceptional! Just try to watch it without it and you will see! The score has so much freight and dimension to it, and Tina Guo - she works with Hans Zimmer! - would have not agreed to appear on anything lackluster or embarrassing! What I agree could be improved is: images are grainy, and the acting is flawed (for example, when she smiles at the end), and there are problems with the premise of the plot, and plot details, and also with the monster itself. Of course this is a low budget and a passion project - but why is it a low budget? I am sure there are Danish grants available and then, there you go, you can get a better writer and effects. Don't touch the music ;)

Always have a flame thrower handy,... just saying!! 🔥😏. Lovely music. Ty.

Nice job 👏

I did love the music scores, and I believe this short had real potential. The monster was totally disappointing and unbelievable. This would be great with a few changes.

Honestly, I feel like the first 24 seconds could be the entire short film, and I would have left feeling satisfied & scared. Lol

When I saw the title I thought this was the short story by Karl Edward Wagner. That would make a great movie if they stuck to the story.

Verygood 👁️👍

Gorgeous film! Great pacing! Clean audio and dynamic grading. I very much enjoyed. One question though, somebody's gotta please tell me what this was filmed on. It look like black magic footage.

( every Horror movie logic) *When a supernatural thing is behind you freeze and scream for fucking 5 minutes and not run the fuck away*

Good atmosphere. 🤗😊

The musical score strongly reminded me of Hellraiser

its was realy good overall. I liked it. just the end destroyed it, as you show the "monster" in full frontal while its moving and the viewer could clearly see its some kind of robot with robotic movement. that few seconds destroyed the whole thing. it was better when you just showed the monster during lightning, also the shadow of the monster scene was realy good where the victim runs away speechless (that was also good acting btw). oh well, sometimes showing less is better than too much.

Good film really scary.

very good music

Dah Kerr meh! . 🙇🏻‍♂️🦹🏼‍♂️

This film needs no talking....just silent run and hide!!!

Absolutely fantastic Gothic score! It builds all the heart pumping freight and dynamic in the movie, that would otherwise be underwhelming. The fixes (better premise/reason why the monster is after her, who she is - a maid? a nanny? where is the baby? how the monster looks, better picture quality) were easy to execute and it's a bit sad that the team didn't fully deliver. That excluding the music of course, which is insanely good!

How do you lock yourself inside a house?

Cant stay in such a big house alot

1. I hope the director follows all constructive criticism below and goes back to studying script writing and secure more appropriate funding for next projects (picture quality, monster props, editor etc) 2. I hope the composer’s agents find much, much higher quality projects that deserve his craft and ‘guest-star’ appearances.

Note 2 self: Never live or work at a building that requires keys to leave....💯😹

OMG, nice movie but is scarry

Nice Acting 🤘

Beautiful ending music.

Good film

IT'S HELLRAISIN' STICKS IN MY GOOSEBUMPS...🤤🤤😈😈👹👹😞😞

As I was watching this , I was confused cause it says Award winning next to the title. I guess not adding that the award was for best sound is how things are done these days on KZfaq if u want more clicks !! Anyway , I learned from now on to check description page before I watch video !! Not scary at all !!

See its at these times being a smoker and having a lighter is an advantage because then 'Sticks' =- 'Ashes' !

There's Cthulu!

The scenery was good for the setup... suspense buildup was there....I liked everything except the actual monster at the end...a bit cheesy I might add...the suspense alone was quite scary after she opened that door...but end was too easily given away...all in all,not bad...3 stars.⭐⭐⭐

I agree 🤔

Run run run 😨😱😨😱

SCARY😳

it's so scary OH MY GOD

Aw shit... He got her...

Musician is a magician

Not much scares me but this gave me a little jump. Wicked good
