Although it is once again the "person does things nobody in their right mind would do and it leads to a cascade of other things nobody in their right mind would do" trope (like so many horror movies), what sold it for me was the camera work and the soundscape. Especially the beginning, when you get a nice shot of the lookout in this beautiful sundown, and you know, this is all the peace you will get, its going down from here on out. *spoilers* I also just love how you at first dont notice it, but then just realize how claustrophobic the building is with all the pitch black around it, and 360 degrees glass windows with nowhere to hide. The way the atmosphere changes from "great, I can watch everything from here" to "oh no, I can be watched from everywhere" is just awesome. Its sooo sneaky, and when you notice it, it is already too late. Its been a while since a horror movie gave me shivers. Brilliant.

May not be exactly the same but this is like all those park ranger look out tower creepypasta stories with a list of rules one must follow. I love it!

What a brave girl....hears someone screaming, so she goes out to investigate.....in a loud voice...LOOK OUT!

Wow this was awesome. Considering the webbing I was expecting a giant spider but wow that thing was actually frightening, I loved this!!

No road flares or flame throwers? Hell I'll be starting a forest fire myself before I let that thing get me.

The cinematography is beautiful - really top notch stuff. Impressive effort from the team here and I'd be curious to see more from you all. Good job!

This was great. The woman did an excellent job in this film. I love horror films because the characters never do what normal people would do..

Whoa! That creature was TERRIFYING!!! 😨😱 Awesome job to everyone involved on this project!

this was absolutely amazing! I always love to see how a short film can deliver within such a short time frame. this really did not disappoint. I absolutely love this as a concept and as a short all on its own. the work that went into making this as awesome and scary as it was is truly to be admired!

This reminds me of the horror game "do you copy" same concept as this with the park ranger in a tower trying to help a survivor who is lost only to find a monster mimicking their voice.

Nice film! It reminds me of a game called "Do you Copy", a game in which we control a ranger in a watchtower who receives a call for help from a lost tourist. If I'm not mistaken, there are 4 different endings!

Congrats to the whole team for executing the directors vision. Well put together!!!! I love this

I really appreciate the thought put into the sound quality. Thank you

Wow!! Now that was creepy! Remind not to go walking in the woods alone at night!! Lol!!

If I was the vicious monster that's about to shred her, I will be viciously face palming myself in pure disbelief on how stupid and idiotic for her to search and chase her own killer in the woods saying " Hello is someone out there?"..

1:51 I never thought I'd hate a ceiling hatch for inducing my anxiety.

This was sick! Very cool, unique location and terrifying payoff at the end. Hope to see more from you!

Ended much too soon!!! Brilliant production, overall, with excellent performances, lighting and editing. Will there be a part 2?

The sound is what carries this film.

Zero expression on her face is hilarious 😆

Vim pelo Refúgio Cult!! Like!!

Very well done in a perfect setting with a no nonsense start with the suspense and the shocking ending. Keep up the good work!

I was scared from the very start, and all done with great camera work, editing, sound, interesting location/situation and a couple hundred bucks of props. Nice job!

At last! Something of the true name - called Horror! J. Avery

These short films are better than Hollywood movies

Loved it! I really liked the scene when it’s on the roof the camera movement was creepy! 10/10

Vim pelo canal Refúgio Cult, se puderem colocar legenda em Português BR facilitaria muito! Obrigada. 🇧🇷

The sound design was incredible, holy crap The real criticism was her going out alone even if she’s a park ranger

the woods and being alone in them is so scary unending possibilities

This is the best short horror I have seen yet...very scary...and very well made. Have shared with all my friends and watched it several times. The eeriness is so addictive. Just wow !!

I am getting some serious Alan Wake vibes here. I think that‘s a good thing.

That was fun! I actually wish it was longer, the atmosphere filled with menace the way I like it. I'm glad she didn't have a weapon going out in the darkness like that despite the creepy situation. Leveling the playing field is just unacceptable in horror! ;)

That's it?!!!?? Wow, you could have made a whole movie with that monster,scared me,I thought I would see a massive spider 🕷but it was the rake..love it.more please

"Hello. Please, anybody I need help." -- What an idiot protagonist. I was cheering for the creature as soon as she stepped out the Lookout blazing her FLASHLIGHT with the light in the Lookout.

omg you shouldve added the girl on the walkie talkie laughing while the other girl looked up the tree it wouldve been terrifying

The film was great, but holy LORD was the MC suicidal. Like, something crawls onto your roof, you hear a woman say there is something out here and not even a minute later you hear her DEATH SCREAM and you go and investigate? And not only near you, into the forest and don't turn back when you see a sketchy spider-web that is wayy bigger then it should be, even your radio is telling you "something isn't right here"... Yeah, if you die after all of that it is on YOU. I would fortify my lookout, hide under the bed and pray to the Lord that I make it out alive, thank you very much

This gives me the goatman vibes. There's even a game based on goatman called "Do you copy" that is similar to this film though this film is about some weird creature that produces spider webs.

Always thought those towers should have a way to make them more secure at night for the people who work there ... Maybe lockable gates on the stairs, or the ability to pull some of the stairs up to create a blocked gap. No way could I stay in one without more security.

Vim pelo Refúgio Cult! Tão bom que tivesse uma legendinha😁

This is definetly one of the best horror shorts I've watched here on KZfaq! Even though it follows the usual plot-pattern (strange thing happens -> Girl wants to find out what it is -> things are getting more strange -> jumpscare -> end), it has that creepy and dark atmosphere that most horror short films lack. Great music, great acting and really atmospheric pictures (the dark lookout from that perspective for example (3:05) is enough to give me chills)!

You did more with 6 minutes than some do with 90. Great job!

I'd definitely watch a full film version of this. I hope it does get picked up & made into a movie...Excellent work!

Can I just say, that soundtrack is phenomenal.

Pretty good. Reminds me of the type of stuff that was often featured in Heavy Metal magazine ages back. Thanks !

This was pretty cool, finally something different from other horror films. Apart from the end. I think it would be 1000× more effective if we did not see the (very humanoid) creature but instead only the woman reacting. Until that very moment, I was convinced a giant spider would appear. What makes classics like _Alien_ and _Blair Witch Project_ so effective is that one never sees the entire monster, respectively never actually sees it at all.

Oh a real Spider-Man! It’s always nice to find something for self-defense before investigating.

Ahhhh!! These are my favorite type of Horror movies! Yes!! I hope to see more!! Great job!! 🥰

Good scary movie i never expected to see that creature.

The soundtrack alone gave me the shivers.

Damn from humble 4chan greentext beginnings to the big big screen on youtube. TheDevilsInterval "creatures".

I couldn't wait to see the end! It didn't disappoint!! Very good short film!

That was wicked!! I was not expecting that! Just what I like in a short horror story! Well done!!

This is a good enough short horror film! The ending was scary!

This is a great video. You did an exceptional job with the sound and sound effects. That's one area that others miss the mark with. You guys really nailed it. Makes the movie so much more enjoyable.

This should be a movie

This is awesomeee!!! 👏 Really hope you guys have the full version 😩

Damnnnnn this was great for a shortfilm!!, really enjoyed the fact that this took place in a different location, makes things even spookier , loved it🙌🙌

“ Hello is there anybody out there “ - hilarious this kid could go far

Great cinematography. And a wonderful job of giving me the "creeps"

I would think that a ranger would have a rifle or shotgun on them to perform these checks. I know I would want one. I mean your not expecting monsters but possibly a bear or mountain lion depending on the location

Refúgio cult ♥️🇧🇷

Did anyone else feel absolutely mortified when she grabbed the radio and not a gun?

This was honestly dope af. Loved it. Did not disappoint!

Why do people facing a creepy situation in a horror movie always do the exact opposite of what any rational person in real life would do?? Most of us would've locked and barricaded the doors and found a place to hide after waking up to sumthin creeping up the stairs of a fire look out in the middle of nowhere.But this woman (alone by herself) decides its a swell idea to not only go out to have a look-see, but venture out into the dark surrounding forest armed with only a damn flashlight!🤪

This is the best short horror film that i ever watched

Genius! Open the door! Go downstairs! Start yelling! Walk alone at night in the woods! 🙄

oh I miss watching short horror films. so excited to binge. Im sure there a lot of new short films I can watch and will. this one is scary.💜💜💜👻

This exactly hits my spot. One of my favorites. Amazing

I like this a lot. The creature set her up. Wish you guys could make a longer version in the near future. Keep it man! :-d

They need to make this a full movie

I need the back story on that monster!! Like wtf is it?? I was expecting a giant spider or something but when it was a humanoid 🤯 so much cooler!!

I can tell this short is based off an indie game called "Do you copy?". Especially the beginning and the lost hiker. The only difference is that the chick was able to come down from her post. In the game, you have to guide this lost hiker using the map while this, thing, is also screwing with you.

I consider this a specimen type of horror short film, so nice work!

Time to play the game, Fire Watch. =.)

This is why you ALWAYS bring a RIFLE!

Craving for more. 👍👍

So good in mood and atmosphere. No so good in character developement. She seems like does not have fear of anything on earth. LoL!

That made me jump! I was expecting a giant spider to come crawling out.

We need a sequel now!

Moral of the story, don't believe everything on a radio. To much web of deception. Good flick.

Wow, awesome set design at the end there. I did not expect that!

This was excellent. The protagonist character was a special type of dumb as sh*t, but I digress.

The ending....holy shit!!

Ok I REALLY need this made Into a movie! Soo awesome! I need more of the creature for sure👹

I would love to see a part 2.

Love the music!! It sounds so amazing!!

2:13 that was horrifying!

The one thing which ruins 99% of horror for me, as with this short, is that scripts too often rely on main characters being unutterably dumb, rather than the script writer coming up with unique and interesting ways to progress the story.

Loved the filming loved the sound loved loved the short!

That is why you carry a big torch in the woods with you.

Excellent! I love horror shorts. Thanks for sharing.

I liked this very much. I hope to see the one soon. ☺

This one was really good, I wish you to get it up on Alter, great job!

i've lost this before and... I'VE FINALLY FOUND IT!

The end make me laugh a lot.But love it!

Anytime there’s a lookout like this one it reminds me of the movie the village

Nice job. I want to see the rest as a full length movie.

Simply great! Neat story, distinctive music, terrific location, solid acting and super effects! Marvelous!

This was the perfect horror. I loved it

First I thought it was going to be a ginormous spider! But...idk WHAT that's supposed to be but I wouldn't want to come across one!😳
