I sort of took it as the husband going through a deep dark depression, and the creature as a metaphor for suicide. The husband was on the verge and the wife could feel it. The husband locks her out of the house so that he can kill himself, but she struggles with the “creature”. Upon realizing that he can’t leave her and that he does have someone who really loves him, he takes her hand and and can finally start the slow process of healing (why he still looks so sad at the end).
WoW!! This is a great analysis!! I didn't even think of that until you wrote this!! I do believe that IS excatly what this short was about!!
Perfect analysis! I whole heartedly agree.
I thought the same as far as the creature representing what ever they were struggling with in their relationship, but suicide didnt cross my mind. Now it just fits.
Good job explaining it to people who haven’t seen it lol🤨
Hmmm good
Yes, the creature born out of our fears grows in the spaces between us. It will hurt both you and the one you love despite you intentions and you may not even realize it. If you don't want it to destroy or kill you and the relationship, you must share and express those fears and hopefully get to a place where you can grow together again. .... a sequel? Things will never get back to the way they were, to expect it to is foolish; fears only fade, wounds leave scars, but fight for love, its worth it and much more rare than you think.
Love is Everything 🥰🙏🥰🙏
Well Said👍
Iammjustttttt.... Criedddd. 😍 loveistrueee. Mean as no one. Canndefeatu
Love it : “fight for love”.
It's just a movie get a grip
That was the most unorthodox marriage counseling ever!
😂🤣😂👏👏👏👏👏👏🎬🎥
LMFAOOOO
Good one 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
But it worked ...
@@marwaregab7040Sister
she was like "Whatever you do, don't turn around" and then Peter was like "That sounds fun! lets do exactly that!" 🤣 love this thank you for sharing
"dont turn around" works perfectly every single time...
Just like the body or thing under the sheet , don't look but we must .

It seemed to me that the creature hurt the women at first because their relationship was bad. When he he didn't come home, things got worse. When their love for each other came back out of desperation, the creature had no more control, and they came out truly loving each other again. It was a great ending. So many times, we see bad endings to horror films. This is what we need more of in horror films. Good endings. Very well done. Thanks for the film.
Love
He did come home. So what are you even talking about here ?

When someone says don't turn around...well...you simply MUST turn around. Good work. Sometimes we must get rid of our demons so we can live better and be happier.
Exactly!
😘😘😘😘

Wow this is deep! Sometimes men feel the fear that they will disappoint the wives so they tend to be aloof and withdrawn. And the creature just helps them connect again.
That creature is like , "well my job is done here"
@@KrigarkajWell done, sir. 🎓
@@KrigarkajHOTGIRL
It really has some strong depression undertones. How the "creature" isolates you and how you gotta have someone to help you navigate through it (many someones tbf) and you sometimes gotta turn around and look or you won't ever face it. Superb short.
Finally, a film in the dark that I can actually see what is happening.
Wow! I think it's a rare thing to call a horror story "beautiful" but ... that was beautiful!
Kudos to u all for portraying the mental health issues as a monster not just affecting the person with the issue but also those around him. His loved one...together you can work through it..
yall cant we all agree.. this is a match making demon -_-
Well.... This wasn't at all a horror short, it was a beautiful message.

"dont turn around"
this short horror story,just amazing
Excellent! I've been watching a lot of horror shorts and so many of them rely on the same old, tired jump scares and story lines. But this one is different, bravo!
This house is amazing. The shots were carefully taken, with all those decorative items like the convoluted white mirror in the bathroom, the witch mirror clock, the painting in the dining room, the candles... Swallow birds, mirrors, the symbolism is pretty well expressed through the environment
This was really well done! From the camera work to the detail of the Creature to the acting. Really well done!!!!
That's an amazing bathtub 🛁 and whoever did the Creature's makeup or costume 👀is phenomenal! This was definitely terrifying. That thing was an abomination 🤣
This was an interesting story. The way I interpreted was that there was a negative force that had a stronghold on the young couple but only until they finally came together at the end with positivity is when the negative went away. Great short!
"Whatever you do, don't turn around!"
Peter: *turns around*
Watched 6 shorts so far tonight and each time it gets worse. A horrific night indeed
Who else is binge watching these shorts? 🍿
NOW THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT!!!! HAD ME ON THE EDGE THE WHOLE TIME!!! PEOPLE OUT HERE PLEASE WATCH THIS SHORT FILM BECAUSE I PROMISE JUST ABOUT EVERYONE OF YOU WILL BE JUST LIKE I WAS WHILE WATCHING THIS!!! IT LEAVES YOU WISHING THAT THIS WAS A BOX OFFICE MOVIE OR SOMETHING, ALONG WITH WANTING MORE!!!!!
Wow she had the complete low down on the monster.
This is truly inspiring cinematography! Here for it
Loved it! Great job everyone! And congrats to me for watching a horror film and enjoying it!
If you don't like the typical blood, guts and gore horror movies.. look up "psychological horror", they are usually on a whole nother level. Some of them are more realistic and are horror because it's truth and the mind is still yet to be understood, which is scary. I think you'll really enjoy them. I prefer them over guts and gore,.. these psychological horror filmmakers don't always feel the need to have naked women, sex and grotesque sexual acts either, although there's references to some of that stuff. The realities of mental illnesses, genuine clinical depression and anxiety, personality disorders, PTSD & manic depressive disorders and childhood trauma effects are scary.
I have a snuggly blanket for us, strong arms, the world's softest couch, and Lew the cat. Come over, I have good taste.
@@mandielou I like such kinda horror films btw I like all things but mostly I like horror things like Vampire, Dracula, Witch etc
@@knowledgeatmosphere7550 🦇
Anyone else constantly look around the background of short films like this just in case there are hidden details??
Nicely done. Very original, and right on point.
- And whatever you do DONT turn around
*immediately turns around*
remind me a bit jeepers creepers when he smells his prey for something it wants to eat ,.. he just left them there in the end while they hug each other like nothing happend , good acting by both of e'm , nice movie :)
That creature design was excellent.
That last walk is scary then whole movie
Dang that was good. Actually creepy and had a good message.
Loved it, and the message too! Thank You! 🖤
Amazing reading the comments to get a better understanding of the story
You cherish the one you love as long as you can cause nothing lasts forever
I didn't understand a single thing but lol i love the creature🤣🤣
That was spectacular... great job!!!
Nothing like a GOOD creature feature!😊👍
Your creature kicks ass! Good work to all. His soul is the creature! Her gentle touch from her loving heart keeps the creature at bay. But she lets this dinner go. Next time he doesn't let her know he wont be home for dinner. He will get the wrath of her creature from her soul!
Like A Guarding Angel 👼🏻 Creature So Intence
The creature at the end be like, "See you at your divorce then!"
You had ONE job Peter.
Went straight above my head
Wow...I just discovered you and I can't wait to see more! Great job!
Gotta give props to the divorce monster
Wait.....she sat there at the table waiting for him from from 9.30 to 6.30?!! Those candles are AMAZING!
Tremendous . Great story telling, acting and the Creature was at good as you see in any Hollywood blockbuster. Wow
nice to know it really easy to break into her home
but dam that monster disine is amazing better then what Hollywood gives us
Why did she go outside, knock on the window, look or dont look, CRAZY
Me when the monster climbs on top of me:
Are we dating now?
Adorei a metáfora e a criatura também. Por favor coloquem legenda em português nos próximos projetos. Thanks!
Wife: “I’m locked in the backyard…!” Husband ignores her…. I stopped watching at this point. How stupid…
It's not about a horror film. It's struggling with mental illness. The creature is a metaphor.
OK-I get the symbolisms -but you scared the hell out of me before I knew what was going on-good job-great movie-thanks for posting.
It's was very creepy and terrifying creature😮...and the lady was very scare with us..
Someone send this to Cory 🤔
Yes!
a fellow Cory fan love it!!!
@@laurenc95Yes
The best part of this short without a doubt was her saying "Whatever you do don't do turn around!" He literally turns around right after that 🤣. Overall it was good though I liked it.
Don’t turn around…
Peter: Yes🤓
No hesitation either! 😂😂😂😂
NO
Before buying a house, research its history!
The power of Love
Peter is the reason I stop this movie🧍🏾♀️
Killed
Her husband did not have time for her and the moster was "the problem" of their relationship
This was great! Well done!
This by far is my favorite. It is so deep. If you are married, or in a long term. It hit home❤
Really liked this movie!!! Well written , really good actors, very deep meaning!!
Really liked the match cut from the shot her in the bath to the boiling water - great symbolism 👌
I have read all the comments ...still didnt actually get it ...I would have left the bloody house ..maybe a subliminal message or i missed the deepness of the story line
That bathtub 🛁 was gorgeous 🥰 brought to you by ADHD
I notice that this is the only short film you have. More please!
I love the Happy Ending. Cheers!
👏this👏is👏why👏I👏don’t👏live👏by👏myself👏
Wowweewow It kept me guessing til the last second! What a treat, full of deftly handled metaphors , superb acting, timing and filming!
Brooke: Peetee...err...what ever You do, don't turn arouund....
Peter: am turning around
Who do you call on monster squatters? Lol...@8:17 monsters like it's MINE! LMAO!
a time is turning back as she waits for her husband with dinner
Walk faster
Don't turn around
Guy: does the exact opposite
😌Oof.
I don't recommend laying on the floor and crying your way out of an attack...
Why dont no body turn on the lights when they think something is in their house in almost every horror movie.
That's what i think of though.
@@RetnoWidyayes
Not him turning around after she said don’t turn around 🤦🏼♀️
Staying together you will be unbeatable not even death will know you
People around us are already monster.
The creature's name is "Despair"
So the 'creature' was a metaphor for something. But I have no idea for what. A husband's dullness?
Depression
@@kennycline8302yes
Great film good job 👍👍
in the words of Delbert Grady from "The Shining".... "Perhaps she needs a good talking to... perhaps..a bit more" 😆 LOL
he may need to correct her....in the harshest possible way. 😱 REDRUM !!!
Since the monster could have killed the boyfriend before she gets back into the house, I don’t think it’s trying to kill them. I think it was trying to scare them in order to fix their relationship.
Scary very well done! Great plot, direct and to the point!
Vanity less than contradiction marks a narcissist; when someone pulls up behind in the fast-lane the narcissist reveals themself by slowing instead of changing lanes: asked to walk faster, told not to turn around, they're so smug being wrong all the time.
Amaaziiinggg 😍
Great ad for separation anxiety lol
Regardless of the storyline I still wouldn't stay in that house.
She's being attacked by the ghost of Wayne Gretzky. Quick, somebody grab a Zamboni Machine!
She got some balls. I'd be calling the po po
Winner 🏆
Congrats...so nice in his simplicity..and so great actors
Nice video!! Very spooky, sad, and interesting🏡🤵🙎♀️👤🗣💔☹🖤🤲🤝❤

Great job!!
Um... Smart phone. Call police. Just tell them that there is an intruder in your house.
It's not a intruder iTs A mEtAPhOr. So lame
