Alex Horwitz here, writer/director of Alice Jacobs is Dead. Hard to believe it's been over a decade since I made this film about an older couple dealing with quarantine. I swear it was supposed to be fiction. Feels more like a documentary these days.
I'll be answering your questions in this thread. Hope you enjoy the film!
Love the film! What was your inspiration and why with an older couple? I enjoyed it being an older couple because.... I couldn't imagine being with someone and loving someone for so long... I'm not sure that I would make a different decision from Ben. It was easy to relate to him, and that's what makes this so scary. Thank you for sharing your art with us!
Lol ikr the way things are going it's practically a doctor's biography.
What happened to the humanity's fate?
Nice job. Reminiscent of World War Z, (the novel, not the movie). I would love to see this expanded into when it started, how bad it got, then the measures taken to contain the virus. You could also work in how political it could get, like it is today.
Loved it ❤
Awww..Adrienne Barbeau, I would recognize her anywhere..good to see her.
@@brokeassmatt4408 Swamp Thing
I crushed on her from the swamp thing and other horror movies
Guys, let's not forget ... Maude.
@@brokeassmatt4408that dam thang in the crape just tell it to call you Billy always still a laughter for me
I knew I recognized her... She is simply AMAZING... Ive always loved her work... Anyways have a wonderful day & stay safe out there!!
Biggest nightmares for doctors! Unable to save their own and getting themselves killed! This is pure tragedy!
I mean you could see that ending coming from miles away but damn if it doesn’t break your soul watching it unfold 😢
The star power behind this short film! The two leads are mostly famous from old films and stage plays.
I lost my wife to cancer last year, I know that's not what this is about but a lot of the lines hit real hard. Amazing movie, relatable characters, great story.
I know this is a very late reply, but I just saw this short horror and came across your comment. I'm sorry for your loss 🙏♥️
i an so, so sorry for your loss. it isn't fair at all that these things happen. you got this💗
im so sorry for your loss ❤
That was so cool to see Adrienne barbeau is still active making even short movies,she looks great still.
I got to meet her when she did a mall tour promoting the 2nd season of the Daniel Knauf HBO show Carnivale. She is so sweet and absolutely stunning!
I remember her from Creepshow... back in the day she was really hot though... my friend told me they used to call her "Adrienne Barboobs" haha!
Wow, this puts a really unique spin on the ‘turning into a zombie’ trope. Normally in media it happens in a matter of seconds, but in this universe you have to wait and wait for the horrifying inevitable.
I regret finding this channel cause I know nothing else will top it and I have to sit and wait for another video
Aww you're too kind. Explore our backlog in the meantime and new film this Friday! Stay ALTERed.
Well.. While you are waiting check out their previous films! There are plenty to tide you over! I binged for about a year! LOL! LOVE ME SOME ALTER!
Couldn't agree more... I watch them all so I have to wait for a new upload its agonizing!!
Moral of the story '' Sometimes even love is unhealthy''
Anything too much is unhealthy
@@chinmaeshi1971 yes
@@chinmaeshi1971 are you sure
Always leads to tragedy unfortunately we all die....
Toxic Love is definitely unhealthy😷💔
The naturalistic performances by its lead cast, gives it a suitable grit and grime, and grounds firmly in the real world. The plot is simple enough, but the short film overcomes the shackles of its tropes with pure energy and execution that threatens the situation to get out of hand. Over all a nice short horror as usual. Thanks to the makers and ALTER!!!
Thanks for the nice review!
You said that purdy.
Adrianne Barbeau has still got it! It was so cool to see her in a great little flick again!
How does she look so good still? remarkable. what a treat to see AB again
This film hasn't even started but I have a great feeling about this one! With the AMAZING Adrienne Barbeau! She's got a couple classic horror films in her illustrious past! Swamp Thing, the Fog, Creepshow are among a few of her films! Then there are her B-films! You know..those really campy horror flicks! Not to mention her comedic talent and she can really sing! Very excited to see her still working and seeing her here on Alter! 😎👍
Tht my gurl
Love you Adrienne B
Escape From New York 🎥
Who is a fan of Alter , omeleto and Dust?😍 no i meant like who r a fan of these amazing channels!
Dust especially. 🔥🔥🔥
Don't forget SCREAMFEST and Crypt TV
never heard of dust, thanks i’m gonna check it out
@@Witchofthewoods. Crypt TV Gang!!!!✊🤩
@@Witchofthewoods. thanks i'll check it out:)
This was good. Reminds me of the movie Maggie, where humanity has recovered from the effects of the zombie virus but it still exists and they're battling the virus rather than zombies.
I believe if we follow the right workout regimen, eat enough kale, and take the right expensive supplements we may just live forever.😬 Jokes apart, this short is set in situations where humanity is being destroyed by a virus or disease that turns its victims into flesh eating "hungries," as they're called zombies. The film interrogates the possibility that that the kind of blinding, violent fury it causes is something that already exists inside of us, and the virus simply triggers it. Well done!!!
INTERESTING PERPECTIVE YOU HAVE🤔🤔😏
@Quotes H....
Great Summary...
Let me just add.....
The World Is In A Pandemic......as we are watching this!!!
WELL DONE AGAIN, ALTER...
YOU NEVER DISAPPOINT!!!!👹
@@Redskins-fx6ph Thanks for kind words. Have a blessed and safe day, today and always!
@@quoteshiker356 you also Quotes!!
The worlds oldest women never watched what she ate, drank like a fish and smoked a pack a day. She is or was 108 at the time she lived in India.
I can not... Can not, believe that actress stuffed all that bloody steak in her mouth like that, and was chewing an everything!! That was insane!! She should get an award just for that! 🤯
ths zombie character played adrienne barbeau was in the horror movie creep show she is a famous actress/singer
She was also in The Fog. Love her!
Don't forget her stint on General Hospital about 10 years ago.
@@carlos-ricardochambers8486 that's right''
@@LetsScareTiffanyToDeath yep''
@@LetsScareTiffanyToDeath yes''
Even though this is from way back in 2009, nice to see Adrienne Barbeau again. She was great in the 70's 80's in horror (The Fog, Creepshow). Cool classic style horror here.
Just tell it to call you Billy......
@@jay1hi547 Classic!!!
this video has 20 min. and it is 1 min. old 😄 how can someone dislike it even he/she didn't see it yet ?
ik , i think he/she hates alter
so he/she doesnt support him
Maybe they didn't like old people sex
Just goes to show. People spend their day trolling you tube.
Haters:D
This is an old video, It has been released on another channel. Maybe that's why? Though I don't know why either this is very well done.
This is a well done tragedy with a zombie backdrop.
I liked that there wasn't really an obvious moral to the situation. It's clear that he should have fulfilled his promise and his choice is going to lead to another huge catastrophe, but it was also a sadly predictable decision. It was just a small "what if" story of how humanity may end up with a second wave of zombies after successfully dealing with the first.
I was engaged even though I'm not a fan of zombie stories in general. I really appreciated the lack of "man is the real monster" style apocalyptic post-zombie world. (I feel like we've run out of original stories to tell set in that type of world.)
This film has a good balance of horror and drama. I like the slow build up to the wife 'turning'; as when it happens it is very sudden and unexpected. Great on-screen chemistry between the Dr. and his wife too 👍🏾
Omg I'm named after Adrienne Barbeau love that woman it's so awesome she's in this 💀💀💀💀
No you're not silly, you're named after Adrienne in the Rocky films.
@@AllSeeingEye91 that too
Yo, Adriennnnne! 🥊
The director and the actors did a fine job, special mention of Adrienne Barbeau's performance. She's so adorably brilliant. This film should have been longer and made into a mainstream movie. Bravo!
9:34 I love this part!! She's imitating what's happening on her TV, that's so cool!!
I was looking at that part and read this comment lol I like how they did that
Adrienne Barbeau,even after all these years she still looks good
OMFG ADRIENNE BARBEAU IS ALICE! JESUS CHRIST, TALK ABOUT BRINGING THE STAR POWER!
My burn out symptoms relate to this man 😂 We spend so many hours away from home to make other’s lives better/save lives. Yet I think I would be utterly selfish when the time came, and choose to save a sick loved one, rather than humanity...
Pathetic
It's great to see Adrienne again. This is the second Alter I have seen her in. She's such a believable actress!
What’s the other one that she was in?
Willy ig
Little Willy
the thumbnail is me whenever i lose at a game multiple times in a row 🗿
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The thumbnail is me when I have to do laundry
And this is where train to busan virus started...
One of the best zombie movies of all time!
Haha, right?
This was a great movie... scientifically, dramatically, and the actors were perfect
Adrienne Barbeau no frickin waaaaay!!!
I remember watching her in horror films when I was younger with my dad. She’s amazing
💯. I love how she rips Henry to shreds in Creepshow
This short has aged so well, thoroughly enjoyed it
Brooo, ALTER is defined & definitely changing the game! I’ve been watching nonstop for 2 days now, and there’s still so much content I haven’t seen! I love this s**t 😂
This was great, the actors were excellent making this short come together. How great it is to see Adrienne Barbeau in this film, I instantly recognized her. Besides this film I love her character in The Convent and Creepshow.
Getting Adrienne Barbeau is a stroke of genius
“Romero” hospital though, love the details ✨✨✨
Yayy!! A new one
This is making my morning sweeter.. I'm at the doctor's office and I'm watching it now, what a perfect day
That was so poignant and beautiful. Loved the choice of actors, their relationship was so believable. Such a well made, heartbreaking film, thank you.
Z-Man and Adrienne Barbeau, are you kidding me?! This made my whole week ❤️
Excellent short story this should be made into a movie.. Adrienne B. looks great.
My thoughts exactly!!
Ooo I love how they time Adrienne's actions to match with White Zombie playing in the background. Especially around the 9:30 mark, when both are in frame and she is standing up almost perfectly in sync.
Adrienne Barbeau! Maude & Creep show, Swamp Thing. Awesome!
Yayy finally I'm early. Ready to be altered 😎👍🏽👍🏽💯💯 love your shorts alter
He loved her so much that he didn't want to leave him
Dr. Robert Neville: I got a bad feeling...
Certified Gold!!!!!
I saw this actress in the "Carnival" movie, where she played a snake charmer. I really like her acting.
Marvelous performances from the actors, and the direction brought a beautiful tenderness to the inevitable horror to come. Great work!
Always of the highest quality
Alter has been in my search history since 2019
Love the nod to George Romero with the "Saint Romero"
The old guy in the beginning looks like what I'd expect Freddie Mercury would look like today
Great storyline and acting.
Adrienne Barbeau, we love you!❤
The KILT t shirt. That's an old Houston radio station,country music,Hudson and Harrigan
This should keep me up for 2 days!
Watching old people get it on is not something I expected to see...☠
You can't unsee it and she's half dead. Yuk
@@glennparker9059 yup.😂
This reminds me of the Resident Evil games! Great work!
My favourite game series of all time!! Which one does this remind you of?? I think it’s more similar to the first Resident Evil movie!
It's weird he got infected via the bite but not through the rest of the possible ways viewed in the movie
good to see Adriean Barbeau acting in this short film...
ADRIENNE BARBEAU, one of my 80s heart throbs. she still is beautiful
I ran across this because I watched a terrible (and wonderful) movie last weekend called "Every Girl Should Have One (1978)", with John LaZar & Zza Zza Gabor! Whatever happened to that guy I wondered? That was John LaZar! Because of it, Googling, I ran across the incredibly realistic & well-made horror short "Alice Jacobs Is Dead", co-starring the wonderful and still hot even in zombie make-up, Adrienne Barbeau! Lazar was fantastic. Very thoughtful & understated performance. I've posted this to several FB friends. Thanks for posting this lost gem!
Wow, Adrienne Barbou looks great....I always wondered what happened to her.....I loved her in creepshow
She was married to John Carpenter the movie director for a qhile.
Wow...Adrienne barbeau... legend.. still looking good.
So good!!! She was scary!!!!
I loved this short film is was great I truly enjoy the adding of classic Horror Actors and Actress
That could be an awesome series!
His own ego came before the rest of the world. Powerful film
I'm sorry, Alter. I love you but no captions lately means I can't enjoy the films as much...it sucks, honestly. Hearing impaired fans have seen a huge impact on their enjoyment on the channel since subtitles have been seemingly removed or no longer being created...and not a good one :(
That went from good to cheesy real quick more than half way through. 😆
The alter universe is a weird one
It certainly is, and I ... LOVE IT.
Swear to God, I thought the Doc was Jeff Goldblum at first. lol
@ 15:03
When you wake your wife up and tell her there's no more coffee....
Or on her period
Good Lord! What an ending! As a person who grew up in the 70's, Adrienne Barbeau was on the TV show Maude!! ❣ She looks great!!
just rang the bell icon so i’m not going to be late to any more amazing films!!
I loved seeing St" Romero" hospital....
Deadliest ive seen
Left me numb
So realistic execution
Dang that was excellent! Thanks for sharing this gem! ♥
I love Adrienne!!! ❤ I am so happy she's still doing horror, and what a great story! I was so excited to see that she was in this
Pretty good short and with Adrienne, this was worth watching.
Love makes you do crazy things...😬
Key word...Crazy!!!
Crazy makes you lovey things too!
Of course but I don't even think 90 percent of the world truly understands what true love is honestly just something people say at their convenience
@@jacobjoiner6897 I feel that.💯
Wow! Great job!! This one was really interesting.
Great short! 👍🏼
I knew I recognized that actress lol. She was Carol on Maude; loved her there and here ❤️
Is that Adrienne Barbeau? I asked myself . . . There is always the mad scientist who wants to keep a loved one alive. It is a recurring theme in horror.
Imagine getting a heart from alter.....
@NIKHIL M if only.... 🥺
It’s such an amazing feeling 😻😜
@@Brooksi333 ikr
Holy canola oil, Adrienne Barbeau?! She's still around! Been a while!
What an awfully sad story. It made me cry at the end, I was hoping a cure was found. So masterfully made and acted, that was 1,000,000 times better than Day of the Dead
Love seeing Adrienne Barbeau again!
Quality script/music/cinematography/direction/performance
I really like this one. Especially the Romero reference and Bela Lugosi in White Zombie!
I think that's the very first time I've ever seen Adrienne Barbeau 'zombified.' How did she find the experience?
The 1985 Twilight Zone revival featured her in an episode, wherein she's not "zombified", but "gargoylified"...
@@kylefrank638 Sounds cool! "Gargoylified" has me picturing her gargling with Listerine or something 😎
Can we just go ahead and label this one the ULTIMATE example of SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY?!?!
That was a big actress! These are all so good and to the point..and more and more you have an incredible cast too! Well done
This reminds me of that movie slither and is that doctor malcom from Jurassic park
Dr. Malcolm is played by Jeff Goldblum, they do resemble each other though
I quite literally searched "alter jacobs husban dead" 😃
This kind of selfishness really ticks me off.
I died at the "let me at him"
This was brilliant
