This one had the most beautiful scenery and countryside aesthetics. You can feel the cold darkness and isolation. This is visual storytelling and now it's a favorite. I absolutely love me some folk horror.
Yes
The The Cunning Man is a wonderful film.
@@bensweissfinna check it out
Ditto
@@bensweiss just saw this after I saw your reply.
After clicking "show more" there is a list of characters Cedany, Lir and the familiar. So Lir is the welsh god of the sea, The familiar must be working for Lir, and Cedany is the woman. Sorry for typing the book, this is just my interpretation.
So you have Cedany who's on her cycle and she seems like she's pretty lonely based on context clues. It's even stated that she lives a good while from civilization. So Familiar sees her blood rags and probably took them to show Lir who was most likely trying to do the Zeus thing and yanno.. procreate. Days pass and Lir appears as a human who fell into the water and needs some help. It's very unassuming. I thought that maybe he was rich and he was "humbled" by her home etc. Anyway, I'm not sure if it's for everything but there's a rule that says that things can't come into your home unless you invite them in. He's invited in and you can kinda see that while she's comforting him while he's sick it's like.. the most human interaction she's got in a while (or that's what I got) Lir sees she's very kind b/c of the food and water offering but he still came to do what he had to do and then he bolts. So time must have passed and You can see he's been feeding her.. or the fish on the porch hint that someone left it for her. Like prenatal child support. Near the end, she's very much pregnant (maybe in labor) and I think that the Familiar was actually on his way to come and take the baby whether she wanted him to or not and though context clues I think that she knew that too... so she sneaks up and kills the guy before heading to the waters edge to let Lir know that she killed his familiar and that she's still there and still pregnant.. and he definitely knows it. I think that Lir was going to take the child by force which is why he tells her that he didn't want to hurt her and that' most likely because of her kindness.. But I dunno.
But that's just me and my interpretation. Very spooky and fairy tale like.
Excellent!
I think you are right. She was accepting the gifts of food, but, her face doesn't look happy.
Maybe she goes to the waters edge and uses the Familiars blood on her hands to "call" the Fishman. She still has the knife in her hand, and looks to me like she's got a vengeful look on her face.
And maybe she wants her baby and will not willingly give it up.
That's a nifty idea. But if we admit that legend and fantasy are not real, we're left with a woman who is alone and pregnant. She has clearly lost a child (you can see the toy animals) and possibly lost a husband. She has fantasized about having someone again. If the montage at the end is telling us anything, it is that she is angry at the man who forced himself upon her and got her pregnant. (The lunar-cycle piece on her wall helps her to monitor the pregnancy.) Finally, she lashes out with a knife and puts an end to him. The glimpse of the thing in the water at the end is just more fantasy, a coping mechanism that remains in place.
Thank you for this!!
Cool bit of folklore. The thing he coughs up is traditionally called a "mermaid's purse". It is a shark eggsack.
So did he implant the egg sack into her? Makes a little more sense now.
I couldn't work out why he stabbed her. Ha
If I'd known there's a "folk lore" story to this film, I probably would have enjoyed watching. Otherwise, it's like a preview for something.
@@vincewhirlwind1778 a preview for the movie dagon 2001
amazing folk i didnt know,...it can be the story before the shadow over insmouth and the movie dagon,
When I hear people talk about "getting back to nature" I just smile. It's hard work and isolation. It's lonely for most. You really captured that. Very good film. It told an interesting tale, as well.
Isolation like in the movie: It’s perfect. Far away from all fraud, lies, over regulation, nonsense and evil. There is no such thing as true isolation. You are surrounded by the whole nature. Humans going insane living like in the movie just lost their connection, any sensory, to nature. Specially city slickers and “liberal leftists obedient to globalists” are prone to it.
When they talk about going back to nature, they talk about having more green in the city, living closer to the forest.
@@amaral2844 That sounds a lot more reasonable.
Yes ....:because ONLY YOU....can possibly know what "getting back to nature" could truly mean.......what a pretentious & silly thing to utter. 🙄🤣😂🤣😂
@@6Haunted-Days Who asked you?
Why are all these shorts I've been watching WAY better than any big film I've ever seen? Just amazing!
💯
So true
Because they don’t have to fill it with an hour of fluff with people talking like some might think people talk, but nobody does.
@@chrlpolk I agree. Plus some that I have seen have more original plots and they take better care of scenery and special effects. They don’t need to be in CGI they just need to be realistic
I WAS JUST thinkng the same. We will never really know or see many of these ppl on the big screen but their stuff is so much better. ITS CRAZY!!!
So good! I never thought of an old menstrual period counter before...we need a part 2 to see the fishbaby!
Fishbabyyyyyy!
Just a wee tadpole.
@@KimberlyLetsGo I would cry- I wanna see a demon mermaid fish child
The babyshark?
@@xForbidenfruitxx That would be a grand creature!! Male or female?

I always liked independent films more than Hollywood films. Hollywood is highly overrated.
and overly paid actors too. Same old mugs repetitively making come backs. NO. Just because the famous celebrities star over & over doesn't make the new film any better.
It's generally because most movie concepts don't stretch well into 2 hours, so you get rehashed filler and cliches to fill the gaps. Quantity over quality, basically.
Hollywood is evil and degenerate
@@marcuso2006 nah just corporate and soulless.
@@marcuso2006 Overrated Money making Corporation . no human being should be worth millions. It's the same old celebrity mugs repeatedly making fortunes. Leaving very little room for the queue of new talented actors.
absolutely captivating. did she cast a spell, attracting her young lover/attacker? Seems like washing her bloody clothes in the lake was meant to signal her fertility, and she kept a close calendar afterwards... so many questions. Wonderful Film. Bravo!
She wasn’t casting a spell per-say, she was just trying to lure him in for some sexy time by letting him know when she would be fertile. Unfortunately for her, she didn’t know that the mere-people reproduce in a VERY different way than we do, so while HE had a great time, she was left disappointed and pregnant…
I saw her as a complete victim shedding her victimhood at the ending. Clothing needs to washed and why haul water when you can bring your clothes to the source? I saw the time-keeping device as a calendar because otherwise it made no sense. If it was a menstrual clock then for me that makes the movie much less pleasant as that aspect of the story was not explained at all. She was a recluse, lonely, fearful of strangers, she escaped the drudgery of life with an occasional fantasy of dancing with a partner she found attractive and who found her alluring. She overcame her fear of others and let another human being in who could have harmed and assaulted her into her house, a real overcoming in my eyes. And eventually she did want consenting love, attraction, to be desired and thought she might experience it with that man by the fireplace. Her bravery, kindness, betrayal, and compassion was rewarded with trickery, deceit, and violation. She was monitored, stalked, and used against her wishes. And she served her revenge dishes deliciously cold.
I feel bad for her the man was probably gonna take her baby away, hopefully she gave baby to his father.
Guys, I don’t think she gave the baby to the father… she still had the knife and was smiling in a very “gotcha” way.
@@thesoupteacher4943 I think she was smiling cause her baby wasn't in danger, the villagers were using her.
I have read through these comments trying to get a better grasp on the main story . I think there are a lot of good comments here. I interpreted the scene with her eating something bitter and holding her hand over her stomach as eating bitter herbs to still the life inside of her. That makes the whole end scene a scene about her outsmarting Lir and thwarting his plans.
She WAS still holding the knife as he approached her in the water.
@@user-vn4lm2du6o True, but if you look at her situation it seems to be her only knife. I wouldn't drop something that Im gonna have a need for throughout my life. And the fishman would have known thats not her blood.
This movie is eerily wonderful. Great cinematography, scenery, and acting. No jump scares or scary images, just isolation and bleakness: something we realize could be our reality. Well done, Beth Park!
I absolutely love the atmosphere and the pacing of this short. The play with light and dark was astounding and the long shots of the scenery was hypnotic. Please keep making more of these.
This film was very atmospheric with a lot left to interpretation. For me that made for a fascinating viewing. The music was spot on for this story and the build up was creepy and disturbing. I also found sadness in the whole thing too.
Here is my interpretation and it is by no means definitive.
We see the woman is on her monthly cycle as she is washing blood out of her clothes and she appears to be tracking it on the circle peg board. She is either a widow or the last of her family isolated in a homestead away from town. I think she never married but always wanted to and was likely shunned from town folk for some reason. She sees the old man but does not communicate. I think he represents the town or the outside world. She is seen later dressed nice and dancing as if wishing she was not alone. She sees a shadow and runs to bed. She then hears the knock on the door. It is a man in distress. (At this point, I want it all to be legit. But this is a horror story.) She extends help. He says he doesn't want to hurt her yet sexually assaults her with something he coughs up and then runs away on all fours retreating into the sea. (This conjures up a variation of the Kelpie mythology. This is my opinion) This was my favorite part as it was so unexpected and pulled off exquisitely.
The woman finds herself pregnant. Close to delivery she is seen with a knife. At this point, I am thinking of forced abortion or killing after delivery. Both horrific. Instead she kills the old man as if she is shunning the town and outside world and then she goes to have a sea delivery with the young man in his true form (like a Kelpie) waiting in the distance with her becoming a fish wife. Whew.
It was a Beautiful build and as mentioned the atmosphere was spot on. The actress was fantastic and the cast all did well.
Great work by Beth and her crew for a beautiful period piece. I really mulled over this one and studied the Kelpie mythology. At no point could I stop watching and I watched it more than once to get my thoughts straight.
Thanks.
Peace
This makes so much sense tbh and explains a lot!! Love it I’m def with you on this interpretation.
I believe the old man was in on it considering he had a manger. Maybe he was gonna take the baby for something? The fact she went to the ocean after killing him and smiled makes me believe she chose the fish man instead of humans ? Idk. Super cool short though.
Loved reading your interpretation. Thank you so much !
Muchas gracias!!! 🙏🏽🕊
What is a Kelpie??
Try not to overthink the movie and accept it for what it is an artful, creative masterpiece.
It deals with loneliness and isolation. Everything she longs for is right outside her front door. The creature, who was getting to know her intimately as she washed her bloodied clothing in the water desired her.
Either through her desire or his, he was able to manifest himself into human form simply to impregnate her with his egg. He showed up explaining he did not want to hurt her. Left fresh fish for her outside her door daily. Not a bad start. 😊
This is really the best explanation I’ve seen so far. Like a love story between two different worlds. I think he really liked her. From where he first perceived her menstrual scent. Then he came to make love to her in his own way. He had himself told her that he didn’t want to hurt her before the penetration (insinuating that even though it might hurt,it wasn’t his intention).
At least he is a solid provider.💕
Ohhhhh I see now. ThankU
But why she killed another guy?
I think the other guy is her husband, but he is gone for long periods of time fishing, hence the title. Plus he was walking right up to the door like he was about to go in. I could be wrong, but thats what I think is the reason. Plus she may have needed to get blood from her husband so that the fish guy knows she chose him over her actual husband
I loved the triple goddess design on her menstrual calendar
Love love this one! The details, the silence except when she's with him, that smile on her face at the end - this is art that reached in and stays with me ♥
This is one of those short films that I rewatch immediately to catch all the things I may have missed or didn't understand the first time. Great film and amazing acting! ❤️❤️
This is one of those movies where the writer/director has left a lot of space for us to use our imagination in order to make sense of its story telling. I think for some viewers the spaces might feel too far apart for the movie to make sense, although its visual aspects might be enough to get us through to the end.
SPOILERS BELOW
It starts with us getting closer to the surface of a lake (tarn?) but we cannot see past the surface to what might be underneath. Then we meet the Woman, living in solitary isolation, cleaning her menstrual fluid in the lake, that we see is next to her house. But is she washing it, or is she planting her scent into the water on purpose, to advertise her fertility, and to attract something? We don’t know. Inside, she marks another day on a wooden calendar, which probably helps keep track of her menstrual cycle. Shortly after that an older man is seen looking at her bloodied undergarment. Did the woman leave her bloody clothing outside her house on purpose in order to attract someone? Again, we don’t know.
It is night, and the woman is fantasising about dancing with someone, pretending to flirt. (It is this scene that helps us see that the actor is very beautiful, something that have purposefully muted in the film to make her look more plain and weary.). A man, completely wet, he tells us, from having just got out of the lake, asks to come in. Somehow, in the casting they have found someone who actually does look a bit like a fish. He coughs up a hook. Is this a lure laid by the woman? Is he a fish she has been trying to catch? Again, we don’t know. He scrambles to take off her dress and then penetrates her, somehow, with something. We then get the first clear moment in the movie as to the universe it is creating: he runs back to the water and along the way morphs into something non-human: he is Fishman. Time passes (I think). It seems she no longer needs to catch fish, as someone (or something) is leaving her fish at her door. We then see she is pregnant.
Then, and at this point you might think this is not possible, the movie becomes even harder to make sense of. The pants-sniffing man from earlier returns with what seems a Moses basket and chains. I think when he was sniffing her clothing before he realised that she was going to be spawning something and wants to get whatever it is, but for what reason, and either benign or malignant, we do not know. The woman grabs a knife and leave her cottage by the back and then moves around to the front of the house where she can attack the man from behind. As she penetrates him from behind with her knife, we get, as a one-second flashback at 15:17, her being penetrated from behind sexually by Fishman (at least, that’s what it seems to me). I think she kills the old man, and in doing this a looming threat has been nullified (perhaps). She goes to the lake and enters the water on all fours, a bit like what Fishman did before scurrying off before. As she starts to submerge herself, we for the first time see something come up from the surface of the water. At last: an answer, perhaps? Just as you think we might now get some sort of explanation, the movie ends.
As for what all this might mean, I have no idea. Maybe the film is critiquing the isolation that women pregnant with an illegitimate in history - and today - have had to unnecessarily endure because of a controlling patriarchy. But I might be completely wrong with all of this.
(Edited to include spoiler alter)
Great observation
I like and agree with your whole take. Cleverly and well written, btw.
A couple of points:
1) the object he coughs up isn't a hook; it is an egg - you can see the embryo moving inside. That type is often referred to as a 'mermaid's purse' when found washed up on beaches, a leathery outer covering to protect the developing embryo inside, and they are laid by skates and sharks.
2) The fishman doesn't penetrate her in any recognisable human sexual way, from behind or otherwise, in this feature. Her skirts are never lifted. He does seem to shove his hand *through* her abdomen; as he was holding the mermaid's purse at the time in that hand, we can ascertain this was the moment he impregnates her - making her the host for the marine egg. The scene you see at the linked moment is simply her clutching her stomach having fallen to the floor after this moment, and is also shown in the full scene at 10:50 just before he runs from the cottage.
I really enjoyed your explanation. I was having a hard time completely understanding, but you cleared up all questions I had. Thanks! 😀
Simon L, thank you for sharing your well thought out interpretation. I'm sure others will find it helpful or at least interesting.
was that a mermaids purse he caughed up? love this, reminds me of home!
This has a H.P. Lovecraft feel about it. Very well done! 😊
I thought the same thing also. Bleak and mysterious.
It's a deep one, for sure. See what I did there? Eh? EH?
exactly.....Loch Ness Lovecraft.
@@markbigelow2608 😊😊😊😊😊
And it reminds me the atmosphere of The Witch with Ann Taylor Joy
The atmosphere, ambiance, the cinematography, the photography, the acting. All in all, it's brilliant!
This was superior work. You must keep making films. I am so impressed with the cinematography, the sound perfect, the setting, the creation top knotch. Great job!
What a wonderful atmosphere! I really love thus film. Beautiful costumes, amazing views, dark mood and great story. Well done!
A short masterpiece! Thank you all for crafting and gifting this! ❤
My gosh, that was breathtaking! How you wove a beautiful folklore tale I'm gobsmacked! I'm truly looking forward to what you do next Beth.
What folklore is this from?
What is that
Absolutely loved this film! Brilliant production. Great acting and awesome location. Congratulations to all involved.
Damn! Wow! Outstanding work - from story, effects, cinematography and acting! I haven't heard of Beth Park before this, but it's time to watch that name. And Scarlett Brookes as well - bravo! Would seriously love for this to be longer...
Beautiful landscape! So grey and bleak. Perfect
Excellent film! This one was a great folklore tale. Thank you!!🥰
This was very interesting. I watched twice. I, am 1 of those humans who DOES overthink and reads into things moreso than not. Thank you for uploading this short. Someone in comments I believe said that he (the creature in human form) showed up to let her know that he did not want to hurt her BUT he rather violently impregnated her against her will; she had no choice in it @ all and was not able to defend herself nor stop it from happening. He literally PUNCHED what he coughed up inside of her; he quickly and violently did what he wanted then ran out as she clutched her stomach in pain & distress. Nothing sweet or loving. Or caring. If I were lonely and isolated and felt + was alone this would not comfort me in any way but would instead make me feel even more isolated, alone, lonely...and, taken advantage of if not raped. Not to mention pregnant with SOMEthing and you don't even know what it is or will be. And you're ALL ALONE.
I'm guessing all the mermaids made deals for leggs and it was that or extinction.
Not all species think or feel the same.
Ummmmm Christ can you NOT PAY ATTENTION possibly ANY LESS!?
👍👍And who is the black man,?? a servant of the Fishman?? may be the woman was ripped by him, an she creates all this fantasy to survive, she kills him... A lot of questions to solve, isn't it? I like your comment it's very clever👍
Like an old fairy tale that the Grimms might have written. Gorgously filmed too.
...that the Grimms might have been noted down... Their stories were no originals, but they went out to collect tales that were handed down from generation upon generation. Some originals are pretty wild and do have different versions in the rest of Europe. Like the original Cinderella is called Vuil Vel (Dirty Skin) in Flanders. One of my former teachers, Marita de Sterck (Cultural Anthropology), did a fine job collecting old Flemish fairy tales in their most original raw form and published them in a book named after the tale Vuil Vel... For those who can understand Dutch > recommended...!!
Superb job! Wow!!! The cinematography, the setting, the weather, the acting, the music...it was all absolutely unbelievable! I cannot wait to see more from you, Beth. You are so talented. To everyone involved in the beautiful gem, kudos to you! I want more!
That was BRILLIANT!!!
I Hope There Will Be a Sequel.
BRAVA!!
👏👏👏💐🏆💐
Bravo! Photography, costumes, acting, story, creepiness!
Was doing a CZcams search for alternative music. Tapped "Alter" and this chan popped up. Watched. Subscribed. BRAVO ZULU!
A work of art indeed. Thank you to Beth for such a magnificent story and to the crew for delivering horror at best
What is the story i couldnot make it
Visually very interesting, the weather sets the mood and tone of this film. As well, the sound track is unbelievably good and really adds to the overall horror vib of this project. This is one hell of a good first start Beth, I will be looking for your future work. One question Beth were parts of the sound track original ? Thank you for posting.
This is one beautifully shot movie. I love the whole atmosphere. The actors did a great job especially the lady.
I'm blown away. This is a great film, and a really high-end production. I love everything about it, the acting, the camera work, costuming, set dressing, color work, everything.
can you explain ?????? i didnot get the story
@atemaesty2419 I think she was living alone, having lost a child (you can see the toy animals) and possibly having lost a husband. She has fantasized about being with someone again. I think the mysterious man coming by during the day raped her. To cope, she has fantasized that the pregnancy was the result of a mysterious man from the lake. But the montage at the end shows the relationship between the fantasized rape and her feelings toward the real attacker, who she stabs.
@@kanizfatemaesty2419 I'll repost my reply, because CZcams won't let me use a word that starts with "r" and ends with "e" and rhymes with ape. So, I think the woman was living alone, having lost a child (you can see the toy animals) and possibly having lost a husband. She has fantasized about being with someone again. I think the man who comes by during day must have forced himself upon her once, causing her to become pregnant. To cope with the attack, the woman fantasizes that a mysterious man came to her from the lake, and that is how she became pregnant. But the montage at the end shows the relationship between the real attacker and her fantasy, and her anger drives her to take a knife to the real attacker. The glimpse of something in the water at the very end is just more of her fantasy.
Wonderfully atmospheric!
As others have said, part two please! This is just excellent.
That was amazing! Tight, well shot, pacing, lighting. Oh, beautiful! Do more please!
Lovely and errie, reminds me of the Witch and other class Folk horror stories
I want a part 2 so bad. This is absolutely a top teir short film
Wow! One of the best short films I've seen, horror or otherwise. Many of the scene compositions and color palettes reminded me of an Andrew Wyeth or James Whistler painting!
Certainly a Lovecraft feel to it. Really well made and acted just wish I understood what was going on and why. Loved the casting too, great look.
This was absolutely amazing id love a longer version or a part two well done Beth park and all envolved round of applause 🙏🙏x
Well this was just marvelous. Let's get the second part of it please. VERY Excellent work.
This was brilliant, really beautiful, wild setting and a fascinating story. Loved it.
This is the most brilliant short film I've ever seen!
These films are a lot better than movies . Intresting and not time consuming❤
Loved it, beautifully shot and so atmospheric.
Magnificent short film, when is part 2?!
LOVE this!! So atmospheric. I love the use of a mermaids purse aka skate egg. Looking forward to your next project!!
An absolute brilliant short! Beth Park knocks it out of the Park, pun intended.
Great short @Beth Park. Well done by all involved.
Well done! And exquisite scenery, reminded me of visiting Wales many years ago when we lived in England.
The explanations where more interesting than the movie itself lol awesome!!!
Just wonderful! Brilliant!
Wow!! I thought this shorty fil was awesome!!! Unique story line. I also wear hearing aids due to being profoundly deaf and use closed captioning, but didn't need it for this film! The actors all conveyed their words in their expressions and it was fantastic! Loved everything about it!! Great job!
The scenery,music,overall look of this reminds me of a movie " No Such Thing"
About an alcoholic monster that terrorizes a remote village.
I was asked to come here as a thank you for the huge favor on Tiktok and damn, now I feel like I owe another favor instead, this is beautiful!
SO SCARY!! LOVE UR GUYS' WORK!
Something fishy going on in this one! Haha. Loved the story, pace, and cinematography. Also, that music was perfect!

Congratulations Beth Parks’’ 1st Film 🎇 With a Strong Sequel Ahead. I’m impressed, I like anything relating to Sea Stories….. Well Written Story, Captivating Absolutely…. Was it a Merman 🧜♂ changing human for 1 day to mate? Mermen can take human form either hideous or handsome in folklore, so your story leaves me wondering 💭……. Sequel sequel sequel……… Bravo 🎉
What an amazing piece of work, I was gripped from start to finish. The cinematography was brilliant, every movement built on the tension, but the time the camera spends lingering on a shot made me just as nervous. And the sound design was impeccable, especially the use of audio levels, bringing the levels right down on ambiance and dialogue at certain timings filled me with dread
Loved the atmosphere. Great film.
Oh, Alter. How I've missed thee. I haven't watched this channel in so long.
It's like my grandmother always said, you can tune a piano but you can't tuna fish!
So wish this eas full length! Such a great short!
This was so good!!! I loved the ending but need soooo much more!!! So may questions!! Love alter as always!
Brooding back drop make this short film! This actress is so talented, the direction, well everything! So much intensity here.
i LOVED IT! for the love of all that is holey PLEEAASSSE make a part 2!

Great stuff! hope to see more from this director!
Can someone kindly enlighten me please? What exactly was going on with this one? I was completely lost, ugh!
Me too ✋️
I took me two watches but this is how I interpreted the events....
In the beginning she is washing her shift in the water because she had her period. The fish man was watching her and could sense she just had her menstrual and would soon ovulate.
He then shape shifts and comes to shore as a human who seems to need help. He is hesitant in his plan to hurt and impregnate her but when she gets close to him he can no longer stay his plan and stabs her womb with a fish hook. Presumably with some sort of sperm on it.
She wakes pregnant and is left fish at her doorstep. Presumably by her new fish man friend who just impregnated her and wants her well nourished. Didn't need to catch her own fish that day.
The man in this story seems harmless at first but strange as he seems to be aware of the goings on.
While she is eating she seems emotionally distraught at her current condition but begins to have a change of heart and might even somehow telepathically told of the danger coming.
She felt the need to protect her unborn fish baby. The man was coming back with a bassinet shaped basket with chains and a lock laces through it. I'm assuming he had some nefarious plan to obtain the fish baby and lock it up in there to kill or sell for profit. Who knows. I assume kill.
The woman kills the man before he can execute his plan and goes to the water where she looks up and sees her "fish husband" looking at her
@Bubbaspork Thanks dear 😇
@@Bubbaspork Oh! I thought the black man was her husband, since she is the fishwife, I just assumed that was her husband. But it does make more sense if that was his servant
Excellent short film 🎥🎞🍿
Simplesmente maravilhoso , amei a atmosfera. Só queria ver o bebê 😊
Thank you for this. I really appreciate the ending and the inclusion of a familiar of color. Folk Horror can be wonderfully beautiful and tragic.
