A hunting trip doesn't go as planned . . .
. . . and another one does.
Excellent!
The way the director has used silence is amazing.
Agree!
Beautiful cinematography, amazing acting, and well-executed tension build-up! Loved it!
Every moment as the movie was progressing my stomach was churning with the suspense. It has that excellant effect.
Keeping the details hidden for so long made the tension unbelievable in this short film. Wow!
Thank you!
@@JoshMinyard Is this a morality tale against hunting? Cause I totally agree and you're very cut by the way
This was so good. That ending was totally unexpected. Thanks!
Whoaaa was not expecting that at the end. This was good and sad at the same time.
Now that was awesome. Great story line, acting and suspense. Loved it
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.
Great job cast and crew. The title is misleading I was waiting for That Buck to come the wall. Supernatural. Just the woods have eyes.
I thought for sure this was going to be about some deer getting payback on humans. Oh well they still got their revenge
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.
Knowing that something like this can happen in real time has me completely spooked......🥰

Sad, subtle and creepy
The sound mix is amazing, especially the quiet scenes in the forest. Well done.
Moral of the story: One's predator is another one's prey. We're just not used to be the prey although we deserve it as a specie since we kill pretty much everything else... even ourselves during wars.
Thats not the moral of the story lol
@@chazcliffhanger8744 still a good point though.
We do not "deserve" It more than any other animal. You think if other animals knew how to use guns or nukes they're be "above it all" to use them??? 🙄
This was so well done! Gut wrenching!
Five-star horror short right here.
Wonderful! High tension, scary moment, wonderful location and lights... And super super scary ending! Brrhh.... With all my compliments!
Very well done. This should have way more views.
different take on hunting enjoyed that shortie
this was brutal, fantastic job done on this short. well done to everyone involved in this production.
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!
Fantastic sound design - every moment was so enhanced, made it very tense! This is a great short.
I wonder how many times these sorts of things happen in the American woods.
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!
Don't praise ANYTHING by that pedophile
Mixed with a little " Antlers" gore and psychological hysteria
Talk about a tension builder! 👀 This was magnificent, dear.🦌
Horror can be like a sad anime, and in this case; its about how humans can hunt each other.. Hats off again, cuz its true. Ending song did it.
That was f*@#$& up! My anxiety was goin through the roof!
Great job!
What was the motive? Just a random random killing of two people? I must've missed it. Love the bird sounds.
The motive is clear, they're hunters but they hunt people
Actress was amazing. Director and sound engineer really created a great environment
Great work . The ending was so unexpected!!
Josh, so proud of you! Can't wait to see what you do next!!!
I sure as hell hope this isn’t autobiographical.
After all, there are twisted hillbillies out there just like this. Just drive the valley towns of West Virginia and you’ll see exactly what I mean-you’ll be searching for an interstate like your life depended on it…and it may very well have.
everything, just everything *chef's kiss*
Wow ! One of the best I have seen !
Great job! I really enjoyed this!
Love this ! Simply Awesome !
Great acting,and horrifying,too scary that something like this could happen.
jesus that was intense! loved it
Do i watch it 💀👀
Mother and son dressed alike, amazing
Huh that’s his gf
@@maringal44 Might be a ref to the ending?
There was two people with the old lady. One of the couch and one in the chair
Amazing!
That one is terrifying on several pattern, cheers !
Gosh I totally love it❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥totally scared the hell out of me 😱
This was great!
Undoubtedly it was great short movie. Everything was perfect
EXCELLENT ON VERY LEVEL. LOVED IT. LOVED THE MALE LEAD ACTOR. VERY HANDSOME.
Loved this awesome 👌
It was put together very well..acting was top notched.
chef’s kiss!! ❤❤
I loved this, it was a great short! Only thing I would have changed, was at the end when it shows their catches on the wall, it would have been cooler to zoom out further to see a whole WALL FULL of their hunts! That would have been much better, just my opinion!
excellent acting.
9/10 never going into the woods again
O melhor que assisti por aqui em ANOS! Parabéns!
Man some of these films would make great movies
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.
I agree: No backstory in a lot of films. Seems easy and senseless. However, I did like the idea of mounting human heads on a wall, as a parallel with what happens with animal heads.
Intense, subtle and incredibly sad
Amazing 🎉
Outstanding. This actually made me jump, cringe, and almost cry.
Thank you! Emotion, that's what it's all about
@@JoshMinyard Indeed.
Wow!! Excellent!!
This was great. I enjoyed it. Thanks for the hard work!
Thank you!
Definitely not the ending I was expecting mine was ludicrous,ha!) great film.
Damn! Great work.
does anyone know the end credit song?
Excellent job
Great acting loved this beautiful yet scary woods and the costumes terrifying but what i dont get is who put the ring on doorstep if he got killed by that time
Excellent 👌👌
My trophy heads never turn out that good. What method did you folks use ?
When the camera gets on first person on binoculars I put away my phone cuz I thought there will be a scary thing gonna show on the screen😅
2 different hunting trips are happening here. One for Deers and the others for Humans. Then, after putting the prize catch on your wall.
Great film good job 👍👍
The surprise was there being two perps. I think if the woman finding the ring and being confronted had happened then showing how the ring was taken would have been better IMO. Maybe people would have thought he was playing a silly prank. Knowing he was dead took that away
Be careful when crossing east of the Mississippi River
Nice job!
Well done!!! 👏
00p}}pp
Is that u who is acting ??
It was a little slow in the middle but other than that, it was very good. Did not expect there to be 2 of them!!!
THought the music was well done and added a lot to the film
It's a masterpiece. ☸️
First rule of egagement: take cover, do not stand on the open, let ur barel follows ur eyes!
great video
What and who sang that song take a ride out into the sticks I like it but can’t find it any help with this is appreciated
Thanks! It's a song created specifically for the movie by the very talented Ray Barnette (misspelled Ray Burnette in the credits)
@@JoshMinyard bummer I’d like to have it on my phone or something I liked it plus I do live in the sticks
Cripes!!
you can hear the bow draw at 5:32 before the shot.. i know its a film but i would've jumped behind a tree soon as i heard that
Horror is correct!
excellent
جميل جدا روعة في الجمال اتشرفت بمتابعتك بتمني لك النجاح والتوفيق شكرا لك امتعتني كثيرا بالفيديو الخاص بك
Good job! New sub here.
that's my pickup a Chevy camper classic
is this a post-apocalyptic world or just a couple staying in a cabin?
Woulx have been better if it had bern two Deer watching tv at thd end. Bravo.
holy sht this was scary asf. wow.
Great story and horror! A shame it went the "humans hunting humans" way though.
Very very silent forest
👍🏾💖
actually it's a custom camper 1970
Very very well done I still can't figure out why She should have at least had a handgun on her if they were hunting as for him he didn't stand the chance because he was shot with an arrow.
Great movie but she was so pretty and her "face" at the end...y'all did her dirty 😂
Are you kidding she was FUGLY and you are much better looking than that freak thing in the movie
Josh Minyard amazing job....Peace
Thank you for covering her mouth... Don't like screamer..!!
What the fuck was the end about what did killers do to them jesus fucked up 😮
🤤😨
