Very well done. Loved that added details, the ring specifically, that elevated the film above a simple jump scare flick. If I may, this isn't criticism, but I would like to make kind of a suggestion. While there are times people get away clean, authorities are baffled, "without a trace." Storytelling wise, you'd think there would be some cost for such violence. That ring could have been the "clue" to trigger someone's intuition something very, very wrong is going on. And lead to the sequel I really want to see.

That was one of the most truly suspenseful short films I’ve seen. Great job! Although, I would’ve been happy if it would’ve ended just after the knife struck. Everything after that felt unnecessary. But loved it. Keep up the great work!

This ain't a supernatural, it's a thriller. I've fallen to this because of you saying it's a supernatural and thriller is never my thingy. But I don't mind since the presentation was unique, love the creativity. Only wish this has that blair witch kinda vibe but turned up it's just another thriller movie.

Yikes . . . very nicely done and truly horrifying! A combination of the full feature films "Calibre" by Matt Palmer and "Jeepers Creepers" By Victor Salva. Calibre is also a hunting trip movie and the ending has that "Jeepers Creepers" thing going on. Definitely some "Texas Chainsaw . . . " going on too. Splendidly done in under 16m!

This is one of those films that reveal a superficial approach to great imaginative possibilities. The suspense is excellent and the actor's performance is too, but there is no real reason for what finally happens.
