If Freddy Krueger and Captain Jack Sparrow had a love child...
Or Captain Jack + Beetlejuice!!!
Or....Jigsaw with that little bike 🚲 he's rolling on. 😅
More like Dracula and sparrow 😂
Wow! They nailed it. The way she takes charge and realizes that she's in control of her own destiny. And Hemlock is the embodiment of self loathing, depression and ultimately death. Damn good short. The boyfriend's a total douch too. You just know Hemlock got him!
More Alfred J Hemlock!...."Jack The Ripper Hold my beer!"...Thanks for this great short!
Alfred is giving me strong Jack Sparrow/Heath Leader's Joker vibes I love it!😂❤
I actually thought Tristan was Johnny Depp until I saw the credits. VERY well done.
This was kind of a nice ending for our protagonist. She grew as a person, and the asshole got what was coming to him.
This dude is like Jack Sparrow + The Mad Hatter! And I love it! 😂
I love it too.
ChiyanGamer the mad hatter is the same guy who plays jack sparrow so I don’t doubt it
With a sprinkle of Beetlejuice 😂
Jack Sparrow +Mad Hatter + Beetlejuice + Ze de Caixao
Lol, my first thought was “oh, they had Johnny Depp in mind for this part...” The actor did a fantastic job though.
I was fully not ready ready to give The Alfred character a chance as soon as I saw him. But wow that actor freakin commits. I’m a fan of this dude.
"I just wanted them to like me" and everything she said after... AWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!
These short horror films are on there way to all time horror classic films 🦈🐉🌚👻🤢👽🦍🦇👾😨😈👺☠🎬🎥🤓
I really liked the message behind this, at its core this is a story about standing up for one's self. I feel like Alfred J Hemlock represents that self loathing that everyone feels from time to time, some more than others, and it would just be easier to give up. It was nice to see the main hero of the film, overcome her own self doubt and hatred and learn to love herself. Even in the end we learn that the reason the guy is such a slime, is because of some deep seeded loathing of himself. It's all done low key, but turns out to be a good message for both female and male youth in today's society, you can't correctly love one another until we learn to love ourselves. Good flick!!
Yes! So very true. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our film.
True
@@renayeloryman2635 Your very welcome, and thank you for appreciating my point of view. Keep up the insightful story telling!!
I was going to comment but you said it all right there! :)
@@richarddelage5447 Thanks!!!
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice!
This guy reminds me of him. That's my second favorite character from Michael Keaton.
This was pretty good.
I'm inspired.
Thanks for sharing 😊
Remembering Alfred J. Hitchcock... Genius!
Thank you. I feel like a genius.
Seems like a metaphor about suicidal thoughts and depression.
Alfred Hemlock is my new favorite fictional character. Great job.
ahippogryph Wow! Alfred is smiling. More Alfred coming soon. 🎩
Mine too!
I feel the love.
Most definitely! He embodied that demonic mischievous atmosphere. Would absolutely love see more of him!
Unsolicited constructive recommendation:
For the full length, I’d pull back a teensy bit on the Sparrow to avoid these pesky comparisons.
There is only ONE Hemlock!
Perhaps add some Mighty Boosh “The Hitcher” Eels guy? Lol
And some lighting to make him appear more falsely angelic and welcoming?
Damn, Alfred sounds a lot like Johnny Depp. The guy is good.
Thank you for your kind comment.
Right!?
There are slight similarities but I wouldn't say "a lot like". Put it side to side with a Pirates film or something and it'll be more obvious how different they are, unless someone had difficulty judging tones I guess.
That wasn't Johnny Depp?
he sure is, if they don't want johnny depp anymore for pirates movies, they can take this guy, seriouslY!!!!
I loved this! It's nice to see a happy ending sometimes! Also I love horror films from other countries than American all of the time. It's a nice change...
This guy is stellar to be able to remind viewers so instantly of someone who has been acting for 30+ years and is worth millions of dollars. I think we've found a star ♡
☝️Yes! He is brilliant and deserves a career worthy of his talent. This won't be the last time we see Tristan Mckinnon and one day people will speak of up and coming actors and say "He reminds me of Tristan Mckinnon in .... Film".
Tristan Mckinnon. He seems disturbed. I like him. Sincerely AJH
I like him too 😆
Be sure to let us know what he's featured in next of you happen to see him again!
Really liked this! Alfred is creepy AF, indeed. More please! He's a fantastic villain!
Your sentiments are duly noted and appreciated. You’ll be most pleased to learn that my feature film is coming soon.
i love how this makes a pin point on society
Loved it. The villan is so comically creepy, don't know whether you should run or join him in the dance. Show me your ways...
There’s always room on my dance card for one more. Sincerely Alfred.
@@alfredjhemlock8504 Oh no no Sir I love my life. I repeat, I love love looooove my life😅
*Looking forward to a sequel
Alfred is the baby of beetle juice and Jack the Ripper. 😂
Edit: Sweeney Todd got in the mix
That was a cool movie. The actor just like Johnny Depp. All the actors played extensively well. Great cinematography, Dialogues, direction, music, costumes, plot, special effects. Great movie, definitely deserves an award
Jaglin,
Better looking than JD I think.
I agree! The shorts on this channel are extremely smart. Well planned film making and casting. I loved this message.
This seriously should become a full movie because that is how good it is.
I'm not sure how many times I'll watch this. I find it so painfully delightful. I may never stop.
Dear Jennifer,
I am honoured to have entertained you with this humble offering which is but a mere taste of what is yet to come. “Alfred J Hemlock” the feature film is on its way starring yours truly.
Sincerely
AJH x
@@alfredjhemlock8504 I look forward to viewing anything you have happening in the near future with great anticipation. Thank you for working so tirelessly to gift us with your brilliant mind.
XOXO
Jennifer
This was one of the better ones I’ve seen. I got johnny depp vibes
That girl was got confidence after facing that entity, then she bravely faced her boyfriend 💕💕💕
Really awesome
And her boyfriend was a splendid meal. The taste of his suffering was truly divine. Sincerely AJH
Excellent!
👏👍
Jack Sparrow meets Beetlejuice performance...
Thank you for this film short.
Man cannot wait to see this become a feature film!!!
Indeed. I look forward to the honour of entertaining you in the most unforgettable fashion. Sincerely AJH
Alfred J Hemlock truly a gift
Imagine if they actually cast Johnny depp as Alfred j hemlock
I loved that he went after abusive boyfriend at end!
"May I ask...where are you heading to...?"
;-)
the only movie I have watched 5+ times...pure perfection. disclaimer: no insect was harmed in the making of this movie.
That's the truth. Everything was released back into the wild.
I must admit that at times I did feel the slightest pinch. Yes, you may weep for me.
It was the best 14 minutes in my life. I love that film
Dear Екатерина Ф. Standby. Feature film coming soon. Sincerely AJH
This was a fine bit of cinematography. Character development, acting, photography, in a nice tidy package. Bravo
Hahaha love the way she handles the Johnny Depp cockroach guy and then the ending ! 😂 Great work guys 👏 Thanks Screamfest 💙💙💙
I am thankful and forever honoured by your generous comment. AJH
Reminds me of a dark demented Victorian jack sparrow. I love it. XD
Bonnie Moon Thrilled that you liked Alfred. Thanks for watching our film.
Really good uh!?
Wow!! Alfred is cool! I loved this character. Great job!
so sweeney todd
@@melancholicstate4ever585 Awesome to hear! Im glad you enjoyed.
Well done, Tristan! Wicked acting. Brilliant CGI and Directing.
I have always loved this channel, but of the stories posted these are always my favorites, they start out as the main character going through some horrific event only for it to turn out to be an awakening, epiphany, enlightenment ... a kind of blessing in disguise ... thanks for the upload "Screamfest" from a committed fan
Love it! Please please please make this a feature!
I would also be frightened if I ran into Johnny Depp in a dark alley.
my first ever inspiring horror movie ever encountered😈🤯🤯🤯
WELL DONE!!! VERY CREEPY!!! THE STUFF THAT NIGHTMARES ARE MADE FROM...😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲
alfred j hemlock is awesome, i want to see more of this dude.
Feature film is coming.
Cant wait!
Definitely getting some evil Gregor from metamorphosis vibes, loving the creepy yet relatible feel Alfred 👍
Is he all Hyde , or is there a dr Jekyll
How can anyone dislike this? One of the best shorts I’ve seen so far 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
LOVED THIS ACTOR AND CHARACTER! whoever played Alfred did AMAZING! i love his personality, stunning, charming, funny, strict, honest, hypnotizing and absolutely a mean bitch. absolutely awesome.
Everyone is saying the same thing as I thought. I was saying to myself "It's like Johnny Depp and Beetlejuice had a love child. I loved this. Not scary, but way way entertaining! I would love to see a part 2 or a full length film of this. Wonderful!
That was a very encouraging short film. I loved how its sends a messenge to never give up, no matter what life takes you through. Keep up the good work.
finally the woman stood up for herself and put an end to being abused, gained her strenght...good film!
I really like it.. How she fight back from alfred but most of all her user boyfriend
This could be a great movie...
That Jack Sparrow was too good. Loved it.
Thanks for watching!
When he was on the bike, I started laughing uncontrollably
That’s seriously awesome SourDragon. We love reading comments like this on our film. :D
So did we. It was our favourite part of making the film. And we all had "Oh Susanna" stuck in our heads for weeks.
Omg i love the monster in this movie... He is so freaking humorous i have laughed the whole time 😂😂😂 and the way he sings! Am i the only one who was bot freaked out but foud this movie deep in the meaning and funny in the plot?
Irene Randazzo glad to hear it! Thanks for sharing.
@@tristanmckinnon488 wow you are very very kind! It is so rare to find kind people ☺☺☺ thanks a lot 🌸🌸
I really enjoyed this, especially how even though Alfred is quite menacing, his purpose still seemed pure in the end. Alfred seems like several Johnny Depp characters and maybe a bit of Freddy Kruger all rolled into 1.
Dear M Hale, I am truly flattered by your comment. Sincerely, Alfred.
Well, maybe not exactly pure. He seems to be a creature that feeds on dispair and fear, he says so himself when he told her about when he got her mother. He is summoned by his victims uttering a halfway serious death wish and then scares them into really going through with it. I guess one could see him just as a neutral personification of death who ushers suicidal people into the afterlife, but the sadistic way he torments his victim and the way he tried to fight the woman and tear her newfound confidence and will to live down again speaks against seeing him as a neutral beeing. He came across to me as a creature similar to Stephen King's Pennywise, with the difference that he feeds on depression rather than just fear. I liked that we didn't see him in the ending scene, I guess he would take another form for each victim, taylored after their nightmares.
Of course, we could also see the whole piece as symbolism, in which case Hemlock represents depression itself.
That's a good visual scene of him skipping down the alley with the axe in his hand; it captures the essence of the film.
Tristan McKinnon is just so talented, and as many people are saying, he reminded me Ledger’s Joker meets Keaton’s Beetlejuice and Depp’s Jack Sparrow & Mad Hatter, victorian/gothic like. Saw this film at the HorrorHaus Film Fest in LA where it won Best Short Film and it blew me away. Wherever that film went to a horror/fantasy film fest, it swipe winning awards, and we had the pleasure to share Selection in some film festivals, and the media support has been reciprocal. One of the best dark fantasy horror-comedies and Alfred J Hemlock is a would-be ICONIC character. Can’t wait for the FEATURE FILM! The directing, cinematography, special & visual effects, sound and, of course, Acting was Top-Notch! Thanks to Screamfest for sharing this amazing film!!! Long life for “ALFRED J HEMLOCK”!!!
Thank you so much! The festivals in the USA were so wonderful to Alfred J Hemlock, particularly the horror festivals. HorrorHaus was amazingly supportive, just like Screamfest, Women In Horror Film Festival, Shriekfest, Wreak Havoc Film Festival, just to name a few.
This won't be the last of Alfred J Hemlock. He is indestructible.
Where does Sparrow come in or Mad Hater or even Beetlejuice? Idl dont see that just hes similar looking to Depp
cockroach and squishing them hmmm i have lingering feelings there hahaha.. Good story about self worth
Loved it! Super story, solid acting, wonderful effects and the title character rocks! Loved the cockroach effect especially! Loved how the lady rallied and came into her own at the end. AWESOME ENDING! A perfect gem of a movie!
Why thank you! ❤
Phenomenal story, characters were awesome, I loved Alfred’s entirely, from makeup, to physicality to acting, just top notch. Kudos to the actress as well. Loved the ending, this was better then 90% of full length movies I’ve seen. So well done, hope you win!
Vicky Dee thank you for your support!
This was truely enjoyable. Somehow for me, this short film did not feel like a "horror". It was a mix of comedy and thriller. Love the casting.
Dear Bronia Marak. Yes, I found the whole affair for the most part to be both amusing and thrilling. Sincerely, AJH x
Wow I thought that was Johnny Depp at first. Whomever played Alfred needs a contract...
A contract signed in blood would be preferable.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought he looked a little and sounded like Johnny Depp
Same lol
Man the girl who played Emily did a amazing job! Well done, I couldn't help but want 2 pick her up an give her a hug after that Jacka$$ threw her down. Great short LOVE IT!!
Don’t worry original outcast 072. I took care of her boyfriend problem. AJH x
she'll just grab another branch lol joking great movie creepy 👍
Alfred J Hemlock amazing work!!!!!
As soon as she leaves she gets stabbed in the street
The opening was definitely strong! Powerful. For such drastic tonal shifts throughout, the film nailed it every time!
Like my mom would say, there's nothing like a good pissin off to make you feel better...
Well done!!!
Alfred! It depends on how you write her story! I'll be watching 👹👹 I'm subscribing to your page! Keep up the interesting work you devil 👹👹💖
LOVE, LOVE, THIS FILM! GIVE ME MORE ALFRED! I MUST HAVE MORE ALFRED!
Thank you Hans for the amazing comment. More Alfred is coming soon. Bigger and better in his own full-length feature film. Stay tuned!
OMG! YES! THANK YOU! WHEN, WHEN, WHEN?
Soon Hans! Soon! Sincerely AJH
Excellent movie!! ..Tristan McKinnon needs to be in Hollywood!! Great actor!!
Man, I wish I could put more than one like on this video! What an amazing film! That arsehole 'boyfriend' of her's will get exactly what he deserves, and boy, what a woman! This is one of those films that was obviously well thought out, well acted and the team behind it really believed in their work. Well done!
Thank you Stevie Marchant. It was an honour to read your wonderful comment.
I loved it and the message as well. The actors are great, but while everyone here is seeing Johnny Depp, I'm seeing Papa Lazarou. You're my wife now...
Elaine Ermis yes, that’s it. I knew there was someone else it reminded me of, also, maybe a couple of characters from the Mighty Boosh x
ALFRED J HEMLOCK IS SUPER CRAZY AMAZING! ANOTHER GREAT SCREAMFEST DISCOVERY! CAN'T WAIT FOR THE FEATURE FILM!!!
Bravo gentleman.... This was a great short film... Great acting awesome editing lighting was spot-on and I found it rather dark and kind of creepy I know that was your direction you hit the mark great film... thanks again
The Brits definitely do it the best!!! Excellent film and special effects. Enjoyed it!
Than you klientproby. Sincerely, AJH x
Excellent. Pure magic.
I hope this short film will few win awards, the acting is great, plot, cinematography everything...
Made me tear up but I am so proud of her.
♥️ She had some pretty intense moments. It still gets me when I watch it back. Thank you for watching and supporting indie horror.
Daaayuumm Roachy Depp got pwned 😂 you go girl. This was delightful 👌
Damn that was rotten the way he tossed her out and left her in that creepy place, but the ending was sweet.Alfred is a demonic Captain Jack Sparrow with a top hat love the actor playing him, these actors are fantastic. This is way better then big budget Hollywood horror thanks, just got yourself a new sub
@@screamfestla Your very welcome, I'm a horror addict binging oh your stories
PLEASE Make this into a full length film!! This is awesome!!
Hi The_Muser. Alfred will be returning to torment and terrorise in a full length feature film.
Edward Lyons WHEN???
@@edwardglyons really? When?
I saw myself at 14 in the first 1:15 minutes, I even hit pause after a few minutes to comment. Her despair is palpable, I felt that pain and fear of abandonment and loneliness and remember gathering my reserves to move forward. I have to say this is a great film, executed with craft, I felt her intimidation as well. Excellent work!
Thank you x unfortunately Emily can be quite familiar to some of us.
Out of over 100+ Screamfest shorts, this is in my def top 3. I get a HUGE lil Red vs Big Bad Wolf vibe, am I right? Editing and Lighting are what really sell the spooky.
Wonderfully put together, chilling and meaningful. Love the characters and honestly I would watch a full length film about this
Dear Kawaii_marshmallows 123, thank you for your kind comment. It is my honour to inform that a feature film is coming. Sincerely, AJH
Well, an amazing work art. I enjoyed the whole idea. And, surely, you'll love to know that it taught me something of an important lesson of life; to never give and to never use your words to ask a death. Ultimately, life would be better if we became a stone, a precious and hard one! Anyhow, all the work was amazing. Keep it to more heights!
A brand new horror icon is born and his name is Alfred J Hemlock
Indeed coldangel666. Sincerely AJH
@@alfredjhemlock8504 it was a great short,then alas the dreaded happy ending. Horror villains are crying in the closet just too have a victory. Think about the feelings they feel.
@@thedeadguy thank you kind sir.
Very well written, acted and shot. Thanks for this great produ5.
Thank you Phil Schuler for taking the time to watch and comment on our little tale. Sincerely, AJH
Great movie very inspiring very nice beautiful people ❤❤😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
The woman:" I love you..."
The man:"Then it sucks to be you."
The I showed up and kicked him in the you know what😂😂
That´s why. She hates herself to be for, and then to be strong enough to discover it. The message is clear.
At first I was like "lame, Jack Sparrow"
And then I was like "I want a full movie because this is awesome"
So well made. Great job.
Feature film is coming.
wow this is extremly well made! I enjoyed every minute of it. Everything is in point, First of all the great story and acting, the cinematography, vfx, the lighting of the different scenes and especially the clever cuts! This needs more views! So I shared, liked and subscribed.
btw he reminds me on cpt jack sparrow, great actor for this role 🤗📽🎬
Thank you for your most wonderful comment. I felt truly humbled and honoured as I poured over your exquisite words. Sincerely AJH.
@@alfredjhemlock8504 You are very welcome! sincerely Klaus
One of the best stories I ever watch good Job to the writers
That was simply awesome & fun . Thanks to all that worked on this little gem & thanks to Emily for standing her ground as you just can't let A- Wipes walk all over you ,there must come a time when you break & stand up for yourself. Great effects & what a great ending where her ex friend gets what he deserved from the first moments of the story. I hope this next round will go to Mr. Hemlock who looks so much like Johnny Depp i thought it was him at first & i bet he would have played that part quite well but what a fine job done by the guy that played Alfred , i don't which of the two names is his but he nailed the part 100% perfecto. Todays more modern Horror is in good hands & we oldies love it & we are not stuck in the past though it's where our hearts lie. Man this was just way too cool & one of the best shorts i've seen where we not see blood & guts everywhere to be on the edge of our seats.
*Alfred J Hemlock has a point!*
He says, "He puts an end to people with miserable life's."
I remember when this first came out, 4 years ago. I loved it, but now I'm ready for part 2. I loved Emily!! She needs a sequel.
Yup... This is great. Beetle Sweeny Sparrow Juice actually gave me the heebidee-jeebidees. That's somewhat rare for me who binges a plethora of Horror shorts almost every month for about 3 years now.
Pretty darn good!
..Awww..BRILLIANT & BEAUTIFUL..!!! But DAMN ! There are some GENIUSES amongst Us..!!! 🔥🎸☠🎸🔥
How wonderfully eloquent and succinct. You have measured me sir in three words. Brilliant, beautiful, genius. Well done! Sincerely AJH
I swear Alfred reminded me a Johnny Depp! That was a totally awesome evil mysterious character!
Amazing, one of the best short horror films I've seen so far!
Thank you Lucimara Sant'Ana for your kindness.
And Alfred also amazing job, don't sweet the haters!! U nailed the character, keep doing ur thing
+Screamfest Thank you for sharing this is a unique view and Short. TO the creators and Actors/actress You were terrific. I Keep trying to rewind and watch the actor who played Hemlock and Emily
