That little girl has a sick sense of humor.. I love it!!

Michael Sheen is great. I love how he pulls off "nervous exhaustion". Very clever even if it was a tad predictable :)

the way he nods at 7:00 -7:03

This was pretty weird... But I'll watch anything with Michael Sheen in it.

How much emotion Michael Sheen portrays in his eyes is... sublime!

I LOVE MICHAEL SHEEN!!!!!!!

This was very good, and the young actress who plays the niece is wonderful!

Romance at short notice was her speciality...

I figured something was up after she said "They never came back," and then went on to describe how they died, even though there was never a single body returned.

I've read the story, years ago. This is so funny, and Martin Sheen is soo good, so perfect for this role! An exact interpretation!! ;)

I watched this some time ago, when it was first posted I believe, and I loved it back then. Greatly enough, I find it even better this time around.

Anything with Michael Sheen is true awesomeness! This is really neat. Well done

Look at that...Puts the tea down carefully before he bails, a true gentleman.

My English Teacher is letting the class watch this! i think its cool!

The look on his face when he saw them coming through the window was so funny

this adaptation of the Saki tale is gorgeous!

" Romance at short notice was her specialty " And from that point i did understand the whole story 😃😃

OHHH Ok now i get it, So when the little girl found out that mr nuttle knew practically nothing about ther aunt she made up a story, to horrify him and then she made up another story about my nuttle at the end

That was so fantastic! For those of you who are unfamiliar with Saki (H. H. Munro), you must read this story The Open Window and also read Sredni Vashtar and The Unrest Cure. Maybe even Esme. I did a research paper on him and he almost instantly became on of my favorite writers. Dark like Poe with a touch of satire and humor.

That girl grew up to be one of the great writers of modern england

The actress playing vera's role is so talented!!

This is a great reconstruction of the poem into movie form! This so accurately pertains to the poem. Good job!!

this is hilarious. well done charlotte ritchie. 14 at the time and now part of a singing group all angels.

Outstanding! Wonderful attention to detail! A terrific period piece! Well done!

Wasnt that guy the Head Of Twillight the vampire movie O.O???

Most of my classmates don't like Vera but I think she is great because of her creativity. She may be a successful writer or actor

I never seen a werewolf run from a few ghosts. ;^) Lovely story. So simple and yet so rounded. Excellent work and I must say I'm very happy to find quality stuff like this on KZfaq. A true treat.

I wasn't expecting that. Simple brilliant premise. Charlotte Ritchie is the actor who plays Vera. Her IMDB profile indicates she was in a Harry Potter film as an uncredited student. Her most prominent role to-date is Barbara in "Call The Midwife."

It's one of the best I've seen recently, the atmosphere is created perfectly. And even though the little one is a liar you have to like her, she's so cute. And her stories are extraordinary.

At that time there were no iphones or internet. That would have been a perfect way to pass the time XD Loved this story.

That was beautiful, well done!

loved the short story. love this as well.

wonderful short video! i've already watched it 3 times and have enjoyed it the same each time. thanks for making such great movies and keep up the fantastic work. this one is my favorite one so far. thanks again!

This was absolutely fantastic! Well done!

This is one of my fav stories by saki

That was absolutely brilliant and sharp.

I have no idea how I got here. But I have no regrets

Excellently done. Couldn't be better. Thanks.

I remember this story from an Alfred Hitchcock record of spooky stories I had as a kid. Funny that I randomly ran into this. I didn't know what it was at first, but as the film moved along it became more and more familiar, till I remembered it completely. Nice to run into a story from my childhood!

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing this really engaging film

wow really clever from a little girl.. i mean she has an extraordinary way of inventing such amazing stories .i would like to spend a night talking with her like girl to girl you know ^^i am pretty sure that she has so many scary stories to tell ...that girl inspires me ^^

Baby Michael Sheen! Brilliant actor!

Truly beautiful and witty short. I have found a certain fondness for this one.

It was brilliant 😀 I had this written story in my english literature book if class 8 i love this story from that time and when i heard that the short film has been released so jumped directly to youtube and watch this awesome and marvellous film

Great story, excellent acting and directing!

Absolutely wonderful!

i love this ahaha tiny charlotte ritchie is amazing

Great Adaptation! Love it.

I read the story when i was really young. This is exactly how I pictured it. Great job!

I love everything about Michael Sheen!

Brilliant! well done you guys!

Truly fascinating video! One is held spellbound.A must watch !

Nicely done. Terrific shot composition and performances.

Absolutely stunning

I read this short story when i was at school, pretty awesome!

I had to do a paper on this story and the teacher mentioned this film, Amazing work!

Me too!!! i recommend Fantabulosa! its his portraition of Kenneth Williams and well.. later on it gets pretty fucking nice for every Sheen fan!

Michael Sheen is one heck of an actor!

I remember reading this in my Senior English class. I love Saki!

I have just read the Open Window and this was an excellent adaptation; As authentic as it could possibly get really.

i just love saki.

I love this,the characters are just as I imagined them to be :)

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm always on the lookout for a good Sheen movie :)

4:53 She's a great actor, but what a cruel character

i love your videos, you are brilliant! ^^

She's brilliant! What a story

Hats off to the composer!... and the director too of course.

¡This is my FutureShorts' favorite!

Wow... Great everything is superb. If Saki watches it, he would praise for it.

Oh loved that story! That’s exactly how I imagined it when reading

She one bad biatch. No seriously now, the acting is really great! Loved watching this one!

Oh my God, that was brilliant!

Saki forever!!

Perfect. I loved it.

Great! Excellent! Good setting and great acting. :)

One of my all-time favorite short stories, just brilliant!

i'm a new fan of michael sheen, really i only just discovered him from good omens and in looking into his catalog of work realizing he's been in a ton of movies and shows. it's so interesting looking into his past works, he's really great

That was awsome! That mr nuttle was an amazing actor!

Love this girl!!!

fantastic cinematography!

Simplesmente, um show de interpretação!!! "Amazing!!!"

lovely, simply lovely.

awesome!!! I paused this half way through so i could grab a coffee. it made it last longer hehehehe! great film

can any one tell me name of the song in the end?I love it.

this is great. I just recently read the open window. I'm glad I found this

i love the cinematography of this film... very serene and solemn at the start..hahahahha

That was an awesome short, I really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work, I will be subscribing.

😄😄😄Her story scared him Shitless he bolted outta there with the quickness😃😃...

Great story.

Amazing Film,,,just amazing,,,WooooW !!

I had read it. This is excellent !!!

i thought the leads, charlotte richie and michael sheen, were brilliant. i loved this.

Now that was one Nervous Nelly. And one devious child.

A very nice dramatisation... Some obvious changes from the original as part of the dramatising process (oh, and re. the title change; for non-British folk and Brits under "a certain age" the "French Windows" of the story are now usually called "French Doors" in UK) but none jarring, and the loss of the Narrator's last line is a shame, but understandable.. The changing of the lady's brothers to being her sons, and the later (inserted) throw away lines about "the War" and mud not only perhaps foreshadow her future - sitting at these same windows, vainly (?) waiting for their return from WW1 - but also, with the early comment about their bodies being lost, and never found, add touching echoes of the author's own, real life fate in the Great War.... Thanks for sharing..

that was smashing! (: a great reprieve from the mundane. refreshing!

how charmingly chilling! lovely lie and daring deceit woven into a beactiful, just terse story.

@heynoella she's not a bitch she's self posessed and alert she's a strong character and when Mr. Nuttel comes into the house she immediatley picks up that he is a wimp,not very masculine and sees the opportunity to mess with his mind.The fact that she is able to make up the story so quick also symbolizes that she is a witty character.

At the beginning you can FEEL the awkward between the two. What an ingenious little girl xD

EXCELLENT!

WONDERFUL!
