That’s probably the creepiest short horror film I’ve seen on KZfaq. The cinematography in the woods was awesome. You need to turn this into a movie. I don’t know when I’ve been so entranced by a film.

Wow, thanks so much for the support, Josh! Here's a little nugget for you... I was approached to shoot a feature film. We developed it for nearly a year. Have a great producer. Then we hit an annoying wall where-in we were having issues getting a great cast due to my lack of "body-of-work". So in order to get that movie actually made... I had to step away as director. I will be getting a co-writing credit as well as an Executive Producer credit. So this channel is dedicated to just that... Building a small body-of-work in order to more easily get my first feature as a director made.

@jlnasseri4390 2 жыл бұрын

Agree. Too many commercial full length movies continue to recycle the same old big name actors and directors which is tiring to viewers. That is why I ended up here - to see something fresh and unique which this film is.

@jlnasseri4390 2 жыл бұрын

@@moviesbyrory6066 Those actors for a great cast are often over valued because of their well known names (as you likely know) but I know that they sell movies which is the bottom line. It is refreshing to see unknown actors that have talent in movies such as yours. There are no preconceived notions or typecast with them and a viewer is more surprised in a good way about the characters that they play.

As a fan of cinema with horror being my favorite genre, I was blown away by the production coming from such a small crew. Roy you guys are in the right business. You can tell by your end result that everyone involved has contributed to a work of art, not just a short movie. Ryan, excellent job with the sound design. The tone was set early on and kept us with that uneasy feeling throughout. Also, visually it was stunning. This story had a real 'The Shining', vibe to me. Although different circumstances it showed a man in despair and the internal decent which led to the end result. The actors were great in portraying their situation helping pull it all together. All of you involed: 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 One of the best short horrors I have ever seen. I would love to pay money to watch a full length feature in a theater done by you Rory and crew. I hope you get there in the not to distant future. Your love of filmmaking and storytelling is abundantly clear in the finished project. Amazing job!!!!!

This is one of the best short horror films I've ever seen. It was super dark and right from the beginning when they showed that hole in the woods, you just had this feeling of dread as if something bad was going to happen. I never anticipated all of those things to happen which I don't want to say to spoil the story. But, this film had me pulled in from start to finish and the final scene in the woods was incredible as far as the special effects go. It was incredible! I would definitely give this a 10/10, amazing job!

For a family having problems usually they turn to shrinks for help . here there's no need for that & no more troubles . We must give thanks to this creature as it charged them nothing to fix their troubles. Very cool creature , you know we want to more of it . For old horror film buffs this thing has the look of the Rat Bat Spider in the 1959 film Angry Red Planet but this thing is far scarier .. Nice work on this.

I thought this was beautifully shot especially the woods. The woods reminded me of Santa Cruz woods during the winter times. When I used to hike in with my dogs or a friend there was always this creepy side to it. Your team captured it perfectly. The story line... it took me a while to get it and then I got it. The mother, wife gave up herself in the end was poetic. The father well, he is a shit head that killed his son first. I would think he would have killed his wife first before his son or dog. I guess, I am a dog lover and I am woman, so maybe I am bias. It's something to think about any way. Who would you take out first? I bet that discussion went for hours.

Fabulous,well made, interesting actress ,nice face,,not a conventional good looker ,but very pretty,The ending was scarey,the creature looked evil,I was wondering what it will do with the girl,I don't think it will kill her somehow ,but mate with her,and let her go to have its child,half human,half creature,perhaps.

Thanks so much for watching Sean! It's been so interesting reading everyone's various interpretations on what may be happening here. I will only say the title is one of the biggest clues.

This film is great and Im not one to give this compliments to dogs. The acting is some of the best Ive seen in a horror short film. Very tense and atmospheric keep up the good work !!!!!!

The way she reacted to the thing the kid found totally freaked me out - and that was just 1:25 in to this film! 😳 Should I keep watching? Or wait till the Sun comes up? I'm waiting for the Sun! 🥺

Yes.. it was really good.. i can't even bring myself to look through the comments because i know that at least 1/3 of them are gonna be "OMG this needs to be an actual netflix series ASAP!! every.. time.. it's maddening..

worst case of hole-o-phobia I've ever seen! At least this one was easy to understand. Ancient spider creature controls minds via a talisman so it can feed on that tasty meat. Cool effects! The creepiest part hands down was when the dog was staring at the dad and the dad gave this little grin. oh man... to me, that was creepier than any of the rest of it. Cuz at that point, you didn't know if the dog had anything to do with it or not. I guess she did a kind of suicide at the end since her dog, child and husband were all now dead.

There's something profoundly disturbing seeing her expression of nonchalance as she was slowly dragged to her end.. Almost as if she wanted this horror bestowed upon her.. Bloody chilling.
