- "We're Not Safe Here" is a scary horror short film from CACox97 (Christopher Cox), the creator of "Don't Look Away." For three longtime friends, a camping trip turns into a night of terror and insanity when one of them tells the story of a mysterious creature called La Mimica.
This terrifying tale of fear and paranoia takes inspiration from contemporary classics like The Thing (1982) and modern successes like Among Us. When you don't know what to trust, how long can your sanity survive?

CORRECTION: Henry Hetz is the actor who played ALEX. The end credits accidentally credited him as "Alex Henry Hetz". 0/10 Terrible film. RIP ☠️
Here is his iMDB page along with the other two main actors!
Henry Hetz ➡️ www.imdb.com/name/nm6550923/
Nik Shriner ➡️ www.imdb.com/name/nm0795406/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1
Bobby Slaski ➡️ www.imdb.com/name/nm8726017/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0
How am I supposed to know the names FIRST
Could it be possible Alex Henry Hetz acted as Henry Hetz and may be did his voice over too? Damn, I can't tell who is real anymore..
Who reads credits?
bro The immersion in this film is mad crazy Bravo 👏
Can you please not scare me like that
Easily the best part of this short was just how clever and tricky the monster was, the only way I see the campers having a chance of surviving is if they came more heavily armed, which was unlikely given that they meant to have a very casual camping trip. Props to you and the rest of the crew for this one 👌
Thank you Reshiram! Definitely one of the goals for this film was to paint realistic characters that made believable choices based on their own bias and unpreparedness for such a powerful entity. It’s also then super fun to rewatch after knowing the truth. Makes the film a whole different kind of creepy 😁
Fr the monster had a bigger iq than like 2 collage students! Making another screech in the distance and having himself mimicking the other two friends. And the look of the monster this is just a MASTERPIECE one of the best horror shorts ive ever seen. Im subbing
@@Itscrazmz the monster is goofy looking
@@pxple1318 tbh he kinda looked like a scp
@@Itscrazmz Tell me why he looked like scp-096 "Shy Guy"
Okay this is the first time I've seen a mimic creature this smart. Like mentioned in the film, horror characters usually just make really stupid decisions. But this thing actively played mind games and actually just straight up out smarted them. No supernatural bull like magically forcing him to open the tent. It held a whole realistic conversation without missing a beat. This was an entity that psychopath killer level of intelligence and inhuman powers on top of that. This was the best horror short I've seen period. Amazing work you and your crew.
What i dont fucking understand is why cant the monster just cut open the tent
@@Lebonbon1873 I think it’s more brutal to die deceived by a monster who can mimic your friends voices
@@Lebonbon1873
I think the monster likes toying with its victims before killing them.
@@Lebonbon1873 I think it's either because its claws aren't sharp enough and it isn't that string in general or because it just doesn't understand how a tent works
@@Lebonbon1873 idk maybe its like an vampire, it needs an invite
I really like how la mimica knew its approach wasnt working at first so once it knew he was too scared to open the tent on trust alone, it switched tactics and made him think his friends were in life threatening danger so he would throw away caution just cause he wouldnt want his friends to get mauled and it be his fault just cause he was scared of a "prank" especially with that scared "I'm sorry" to attack his emotions even further
Really shows that its ability to emotionally manipulate is VERY high
yeah also people might think it's a plot hole that the creature didn't just rip through it, considering it's that intelligent it might've been screwing with the guy in the tent for amusement and could've ripped open the tent the whole time which is more scary
@@Dragonfly265 it might have been for practice, if its method of killing is tricking people, then saying screw it imma rip the tent up, wastes useful practice especially on someone not buying a lie right away
@@Dragonfly265bh i still wouldnt have let the tent open not like itd matter
@@Dragonfly265 or it could be like a vampire. Needing to be let in by its victim, even the slightest of opening of the door.
@@whitenobeard I like the idea that it's hyper intelligent and playing with its food like a cat. Or it likes the way prey tastes when they die scared. Also, if it's immortal and the *same* Mimica, it might just be bored. Which means it's smart enough to be bored.
I love the fact that the one who died "in a dumb way" was the one that was talking the most shit before.
He got too cocky and didn’t treat the threat seriously. You never know when you can get tricked 👀
Geez, this is legitimately such a massive leap of improvement over your past films. The tension was fucking heavy all the way through and the psychological trickery the creature pulled made me question if this was gonna have a happy ending or not. You never disappoint dude
@Amir really random to say that here but good for you 👍
@trueand_real we do not care
@trueand_real Ayyye, same. Good job my brother.
@@viderevero1338 the fuck you mean good job?
Wtf this was actually super scary. I had seen "Don't Look Away" a couple of years ago and thought it was good, but certainly not that scary. This, on the other hand, is absolutely horrifying. Very good script, nice acting, surprisingly unpredictable... Congratulations! I'm very impressed as a horror fan. Keep up the good work.
My heart was beeting 😂
@@gamergames196 beets do kind of look like hearts...red and all...
Moral of the story: if you got friends who'll play that sort of prank on you:
1 - just let them catch pneunomia outside.
2 - in the morning, find better friends.
I love the time jump from 2:00 to 3:20 as though no time feels as it's passed when one just "closes their eyes for a second". It's a subtle note on human perception that we all know, and it's executed quite well. I get that it may be seen as a dumb detail to note, but it's that link to everyday life that increases immersion.
it was so fun being your cinematographer on this man! i'm really happy with what we made together.
You friggin killed it man!
You did an amazing job. Hollywood could learn something from you.
@@ChristopherCoxFilm how did the creature knew his cat's name??????
@@shaikmohammedzohaib7013maybe it could earn the victim memory
It certainly had to be a lot of fun and you did an AWEmazing job! Was a great ride!
Now that I think of it, Alex could have attempted to "confirm" his friends by asking them to press up their faces onto the tent at the same time.
Also another thing I noticed, the fact that the Mimica mimicked the guitar sounds proves that it was actually hearing it near the start of the film. WOOOO that's unsettling.
Good catch! 👻
I think Alex could've also asked a trick question only his friends would be able to guess correctly unless the Mimica can also mimic its victims memories 👀
@@mitsubachihachi9643 hence how come the Mimic knew about Alex cat
@@calvinjohnson6563 phone?
Or he could’ve smelled the blood to confirm whether it was fake or not
Wow, this is just psychological horror and suspense and it’s finest.
Really appreciate Cory for sending me here! This is one of the best horror shorts on the platform, well done!
Ah, a fellow samurai. Good to see you here.
The ending was obvious from a mile out, but the story was told in such a believable way that I still enjoyed every second of it. Well done!
I did not expect it to be that good, Sweet Dreams was good but it didn't really scare me, the suspense on this one topped off with the jump scare made me jump pretty hard, congrats!
Amazing and creepy. All I can figure out is that Ian was himself La Mimica ..... He tells the story to his friends; He hints and tells his friend "we're not safe here" and doesn´t seem to be scared; He's the first one to go out of the tent. He knows about most of the other guys lives; He could have recorded the guitar to play it back as it was etc ....... Loved it.
The best part Alex new that it was most likely the lamimica but he thought it was still worth the chance to save his friends
I feel like “La Mimica” would have been a better title for this short.
To be honest, that doesn’t really matter. This was so intriguing. I could totally see this as a full ass movie.
Great job, Chris.
Im a horror fan and have seen everything there is to see, and I feel like nothing scares me anymore or is predictable but this one kept me engaged the whole time! Really well done for a short film, I can see it being made into a full-length feature! Awesome work man
thank you so much man dude bro
I agree, I'm a huge horror and paranormal buff and nothing gets me and this got me at the end
One of the best scary videos from Cory's channel. Amazing job seriously! I think the scariest thing about the plot is that the main character(the scared guy) actually dealt with the situation really well until the mimica took it to the next level. He was smart and alerted enough to be careful with every one of his actions, but still ended up being manipulated and killed.. A plot like this can definitely be like a horror series.
I agree and I like how Alex didn't make a stupid mistake and only fell for it because he was stressed, scared and was manipulated and guilt tripped into opening the tent.
WOW! I was saying over and over “please don’t open, please don’t open, oh god, don’t open it”.
That was brilliant!!
This deserves WAY more views for how genius all of this was and the way the mood changed from beginning to end. From how the story was told with the jumpscare on the speaker all the way to how intelligent the monster is, 10/10, actual masterpiece of a horror short film.
i felt bad for the last guy. He was the most mentally traumatized one and, probably the smartest too. Maybe make a sequel where he lives? Dear god.
Goddamn this is absolutely beautiful. Dare I say it one of the best horror shorts I have seen. I am going to skip a few lines to try and not spoil the story for anyone else.
-The cinematography is absolutely on point. The perspective, the use of cuts, the way that you focus on specific characters and shots. This is professionally made. It catches and hooks you on every moment, forces you to look at the reactions of the characters, and makes you really think that this is real. The use of lighting to show specific parts, such as the blood on Alex's face, is absolutely fantastic. The final shot of a closeup with the opening tent and the face of La Mimica is wondrous because its not a traditional jumpscare. You know what the story is so far, you know what's been happening, and the audience knows what is going to happen. It manages to scare the audience long after that know what the result is. That is a remarkable thing. It doesn't leave questions unanswered and yet still elicits a response.
-The sound design is another great factor. Many horror movies incorporate loud and sudden scares in order to terrify the viewer. The use of great environmental sounds as well as the focus on dialogue drives home not only the realism and immersion, but also maintains more traditional horror elements.
-The characters are really well-made. They simultaneously seem like a bunch of jerks, but in a way that delivers how they are actually good friends. They make smart decisions, they stay grounded in the moment, and they use what they know. This goes for Alex, Matt, Ian, and La Mimica. You get the sense like its a strategy game, like La Mimica has to know what people are, what these people are like, and how it can use its situation to its advantage. When it realizes that it can't reach Alex through logic, it instead relies on Alex's fearful but empathetic nature in order to trick him, showing how it understood his personality and used it against him. Alex could have asked that the two speak at the same time, or that they make other noises to confirm their identity, but the story made a point by showing how scared people actually can be in the moment. La Mimica had knowledge of the trio that would have seen borderline impossible to just have and Alex knew this, but he also couldn't shake the actual evidence like the blood, the guitar, and the fact that they made no effort to enter the tent. When they reached for the tent zipper, you could also see how they seemingly made no effort to pull down, they only pushed forward. Combined with the shaking and scratching, and you could tell that La Mimica was not only unfamiliar with the tent, but that it was waiting for the people inside to confirmed that they were actually there. There is, ultimately, a depth to all 4 characters that makes this a gripping story
-Speaking of story, the plot is executed nicely. It follows a traditional campfire ghost story turns true, but also incorporates elements that make it stand out. The way that Alex doses off for a second and sleeps another hour and a half certainly hits close to home, while the focus on showing how La Mimica can explain itself through technology partially implies a horrid reality to our own tech. One element that I am not sure of if intentional, but which I certainly noticed, was that while the overall tone and theme revolved around trust and paranoia, there is certainly an implication that the way our society is structured makes it difficult to trust people. The constant joking is great for the bros, but it also means that they can't be there for each other on a deeper level, which ends up hurting them when they face a life threatening situation. You honestly could have made a horror short about one of the friends being an abusive douche who uses humor to gaslight his friends without a monster to interject in that premise, and that would have had the same message as the one I am noticing. Again, though, I feel this is stretching.
I do have some criticism, however.
-La mimica certainly does not look terrifying. I don't know if its the lighting or the actual anatomy of the face, but it does not inspire any real fear looking at it. In fact, I would say that the reveal itself is in part ruined by the focus on a jumpscare of the face coming through the tent. It lacks substance without the overtly loud music, which I noticed by watching the film again on mute. It sort of pops its head up like it was lying down on the floor, and the off center way in which its head is pointed up makes it look more like its confused than like its a predator on the hunt. The lack of focus on Alex in the final shot also makes the tent seem like a larger setting than it should be when an 8 foot tall man eater is coming in. The strength of La Mimica comes from its behavior. The way it mimics the sounds of Ian, Matt, and the guitar, the way it uses logical reasoning to try and get through to Matt and Alex, the way it inspects the tent repeatedly, all of these create suspense and tension. The audience at this point is aware of the monster's description, and its by playing on what the audience knows instead of what the audience doesn't know that drives home just how scary the monster is. The reveal in part fails because it breaks the illusion of the scene; the monster no longer feels like its trying to kill Alex but like its trying to scare the audience. I would have preferred that the monster remain almost entirely unseen, as I feel like that is what the monster itself would want and would thus make the setting immersive, but I would rather not interject my own thoughts into what is otherwise a masterpiece of horror.
Everyone involved needs to be given a pat on the back and maybe a cookie. I absolutely loved this entire thing. Wish I could watch it for the first time again.
Out of the 14 years I have been making films and putting them on CZcams, this is the single most detailed comment I have ever received. Thank you SO much for putting in so much time and effort to reflect your thoughts on my film!
You are absolutely on point with how the characters treat each other in a joking, teasing manner leading to their ultimate demise by not being honest and treating each other seriously. I jokingly refer to this short as "Gaslighting the Film" because if you assume there is no monster out there, poor Alex is gaslit by his friends the entire time 😂
The psychological side is what I really set out to create fear in this film and I'm glad all the pieces came together to make it work! As well, I'm very proud of how the characters behaved because I've historically been critiqued for bad acting and dumb characters. With this I wanted to clearly present distinct personalities with each character that would lead to reasonable conclusions they would reach throughout the film.
As for the ending, I spent so much time focusing on making this ending jumpscare work. I would say I was slightly successful as many do react to it. But I can agree that certain factors led to it being not as strong as it could have been. We used a smaller tent so that the actor (who was 6' 1") would appear larger but I don't think it fully comes across on screen. We also just had limited time and resources and something will always end up not being perfect. I can be proud of what I accomplished while keeping in mind what I can do to make it better next time.
Thank you so much for your detailed analysis. Your comment is the reason I make these films. I love when we discuss stories and characters! It makes me proud to make something that is real to others :)
@@ChristopherCoxFilm I just wanted to say, on top of everything else, I have been a fan of yours since 10 Things to Never Do in a Nerf War. You have always been incredibly talented at whatever you have worked on, and for all the problems that you have had in the past, you always come out swinging with another great work. You've had your ups and downs, but we all have. And here, you've created something truly special. You absolutely should feel proud, you deserve it.
For all that its worth, I hope you truly have the best of luck, and I look forward to seeing what you do next. Take care my friend.
@@ChristopherCoxFilm I honestly don't think you could have done much better unless you didn't show the monster at all.
It's always worse in our imagination.
If you had shown the silhouette of la mimica, then cut to Alex's face in abject fear, I'd probably be telling my grandkids about this film. May just do that anyway in fact.

@@ChristopherCoxFilm Even though that jumpscare at the end was a little cliche and predictable it still 100% scared the crap out of me. This is the best horror short film I have ever seen. You have just set a whole new level of what a horror film should be like, also amazing acting and they actually acted like how a real person would. I LOVED THIS.
I love everything about this short film. The characters act realistically and have reasonable logic(unlike most horror films tsk tsk). So underrated.
This story is EXCELLENT! Not only do I love how smart the monster was, but I love how the protagonist himself was smart as well. To many horror films make their characters dumb, but Alex didn’t fully give in to the monster’s tricks for a good amount of time. It was cool to see the monster having to get creative with that “bear” to get Alex to finally open the tent. Makes me wonder what it would’ve done if Alex didn’t believe that charade either. 10/10
I screamed so bad at the end. Omg! A friend from work shared this with me and it was amazing.
Hey that’s awesome thank you! I’m glad this short is getting around :)
Woah that was such a cool story! The conflicted feelings Alex goes through trying to discern whether this is La Mímica or his friends, the uncertainty over with the clock and the guitar and the tent, it was so spooky!
Spoiler alert:
One thing I’m curious though is though is how did La Mímica know about Tina the cat? Does it absorb the memories of its victims?
Also, is the title meant to be a hint as well? If so, that’s really clever!
Thank you! I leave it to interpretation but my belief was that La Mimica was always listening to them by the campfire and Alex is very likely to mention his cat Tina at some point, especially because he sent a picture of her to a friend. It had to be good at listening since it could mimic these men perfectly.
Chances are that this entity absorbs everything about them. The way they speak, Their Vocabulary, what they know, and brain chemistry. Mind you the most important organ for the Mimicker, is the brain. So when someone speaks, the La Mimica automatically recognizes the voice, and the voice to use. This mechanism allows them to use a voice, usually of that of a friend, or a family member to the prey.
THESE are the type of horror films i wanna see, the questions the dude was pulling to protect himself was amazing. Monster pulled a 500 iq move and i loved it.
This deserves plenty of likes and appreciation, the tension while watching it, better than most of new horror movies out there.
The psychological horror from this film was incredible, even when we saw one of the characters die in front of us. La Mimica was so good at manipulation that it still managed to make Alex and the audience question the reality of the situation. So inspiring, fantastic film ❤
If it was freezing outside, why would his friend have been out there for an hour?? I was yelling at him not to open the tent 😂😂 That short was really good, great job!!
Haha good catch 😉 there was even more reasons to hint it wasn’t true
That's a good point!
I didn't believe his "friend" the moment he started talking though 👀
Here is a cool trick he should have done to know if it was the monster or his friends.
So if they are both out there freezing and the zipper is "stuck" then he should have asked them to put both their hands on the tent so he knows its 2 people 4 human hands total. Now we dont know how the creature is like until the end so it might have 4 regular arms for all we know so the creature is tricky but yeah. Very good horror short i loved it and i think it deserves to be made into a 1 hour smth horror film, honestly i will be mad if it doesnt 😀
This actually makes me wonder how you would go about surviving this creature, it's terrible imaginging a "good ending" where alex tries to get any sleep while his friends are begging him to let them in.
I think most people would just lose their mind at let it in on purpose.
I wouldn't have fallen for it since it didn't know how to get in😂but I would've gone crazy if it kept mimicing voices
Move with the tent like Solid Snake underneath a box
Spooky Scary Sunday gonna be lit when Cory Kenshin watches this. Excellent work yet again Chris. Fucking master piece definitely gonna binge this horror short over and over again 👊🏾
this aged well😂 you called it!
Bro you a seer?
a real life time traveler bruh 😳
This aged pretty well OP 😎
3:07 bro my heart skipped 10 beats,that really caught me off guard lol.
Seriously,this was amazing. I can tell you guys worked really hard on it!
Same lol
I was drifting off to sleep and j u m p e d
I think the best way to fight back is ask random personal questions like “last four digits in my phone number “ or “what’s the name of the place I work “ just some random thing you didn’t talk about during the trip
I would still totally die if i was in that situation🤣
That wouldn't work. Didn't you hear the part when the Mimic monster said that he had a cat and it was adorable? The mimic knows this stuff.
random thing you *didn't tak about *@@theheavenlystone
@@theheavenlystone I figured it was just that close to the tent and could see through the fabric or something.
The mimic knows personal details and your friends don't know the last 4 digits of your number. It also lnew about human holidays and technology so if you were in this situation you'd be dead regardless. Not saying I'd fare any better, I'd die peeing :(
The only story I watch in Cory's channel that is not stupid or predictable, 10/10. Amazing!
Smart killer.. having the two voices, and the noise. Makes him think it’s real and question his fear and judgement. 10/10 i wish i could watch this for the first time again
10/10 the thing that is confusing me is wether or not the creature could enter without being invited in or it simple wanted to play games with him and see if he could get Alex to let him in willingly hopefully this gets answered but 10/10 still
I might've missed it, but after both of the friends die, they never speak at the same time. That is a dead giveaway but, as said early by one of them, you are not thinking in the moment.
This is literally the best short film i’ve seen in my life, this deserves way more attention. The plot 10/10 the acting 10/10 the suspense 10/10 . The way the killer was so smart and tricky is so good. a LITERAL MASTERPIECE
The dialogue felt very "liney", didnt flow like a natural conversation
Believe me , or not, that is what happened to me and girlfriend 30 years ago, in a pinewood close to an alpine lake. we were in a small tent, and at about 1:00 pm, something woke us up. we both saw heads moving over the tent, and moves all around, and hand touching the tent. It stopped for a while. Then, I went up but nothing was in sight, just a clear night. We returned to sleep, but at 3.00 same thing, many heads swirling around and hands over the tent. We were absolutely stunned and terrified. We both started to pray slowly, then strongly, then nearly shouting. those things went out. We stayed awaken until the first rays of the sun hit the fields and the tent. All was gone. We made up everything in an unnatural, very quick manner, and reached the car a couple of hundred meters up. I still have a terror remebering that night.
Wtf creepy
La mimica strikes
I was expecting this to be uploaded early in the morning,but 10pm? Can’t to watch this at night,I know it’s gonna be incredible
It’s horror so it’s gotta be nighttime! 😎
@@ChristopherCoxFilm exactly horror movies are made to be watched at night with uncertainty surrounding u
This was fantastic the cinematography was 10/10 the acting was amazing the sound design the music all of it was truly a masterpiece. Congratulations Chirs have done it again. Shout out to the cast and crew for their amazing work
It was very obvious that his friends were picked off, but even if he kept his sanity, he would've been trapped there. Even if he did escape, there's no guarentee that the car is untouched.
I wonder how long he wouldve lasted before finally giving in. There's probably no guarantee that the monster wouldve left him alone in the daytime too.
@@mitsubachihachi9643it did say that monster only hunted in night
@starkillergaming3658 yea but he knew he was in there he wouldn't have left until he got him that's hoe monsters are like
Chris finally hit his stride. Wasn’t a big fan of his previous short films but this had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Keep up the good work best horror short film I’ve ever seen!
The claws on the tent was really frickin good touch
Bro. This might sound morbid, but La Mimica absolutely EARNED that triple kill. Like, that's the scariest thing about monsters like these. It's not his stupidity that got Alex killed (mostly). He was just genuinely outplayed.
The absolute icing on the cake was the fucking bear. Like, if it weren't for the fabricated sense of danger that made him think he only had seconds to make a decision La Mimica probably wouldn't have gotten into that tent.
What if he said to the mimica to touch the front and back of the tent to prove there was two people
And to think I used to watch this guys Nerf war videos way back then.
The fact that the monster could have just destroyed the tent, but just took sick pleasure in toying with them makes this 1000% scarier.
You've come a long way buddy. Well done.
That’s creepy! It gave me goosebumps .. and the best part about it is that it sounds like an actual conversation between friends!
coryxkenshin got me here through spooky scary sunday where he watches horror shorts sent in by followers
and man i’ve been watching since the beginning and i gotta say this is one of the best shorts i’ve ever seen
Just the tension and psychological mind games were outstanding especially with the whole knowing about his cat to trick the guy into believing it was him and creating a sound and having the other two guys react as if they were scared really sent me this was honestly such an amazing short film (sorry I forgot all of there names💀)
You this was legit the best short film I’ve ever watched and I’ve watched every single SSS episode from Cory!! Such an interesting concept and idea!
Right?! I think the only one that beats it for me is The box.
La mimica despite being very intelligent actually made some mistakes. The first was getting blood on Alex, because of that it had to lie and say it was fake. To test if it was real Alex just had to taste test the blood on his face.
The more obvious mistake though was the lie about the zipper being stuck. Its one of those zippers where it can be opened from the inside and out. So if it was stuck Alex would not have been able to open it either..
The zipper part also got me thinking because if it was stuck, Alex couldn't open it from the inside too
@@mitsubachihachi9643faxxxx
I think the point is it was just toying with its food. Predators can easily kill preys but their instinct is dominating first. Just like a cat cornering a mouse, they would still wait their prey to struggle by leaving a small gap for the mouse to believe it could run away. The monster probably had some fun chasing and torturing the friend outside too, that was why it took a whole hour to come to the tent. Otherwise if all it wanted was food, it could have come to the tent early and wrecked it. It's not that it couldn't come in or wreck the tent, it's simply its choice of amusement. While the preys in life or death situation would heavily rely on their possible way out. The most possible way out for human in this situation is to believe all this danger is not real, it's just a prank. The life threatening situation the monster created last was just a final push to make its last prey gives in to its false hope.
This is easily the best horror short I've ever seen. The premise, the acting, the dialogue, the cinematography, the pacing, all of it was superb.
Here from Cory Kenshin SSS. I had to come comment. THIS was incredible! Soooooo unsettling and clever!!
Saw this on Cory's channel, I rewinded it back at least 10 times. This was GREAT!
The slow-burn of this production is amazing! Edging a horror like this is absolute genius. Freaking A+, mate. This deserves way more recognition than it currently has...
You have really improved in filmmaking over the past couple of years! This was really good. The last part was really intense. I really felt the character. Also because in the last part the camera never leaves the tent, so the viewer also cant be sure what's out there. And the acting of the creature was very believable, i truly wasn't sure if its a real person. That also makes you feel exactly what the character feels. In conclusion, great work! Im down for new stuff!
Edit: i hope i said everything right, im not English, i only learn it. so..
Thank you so much! I knew it was important to keep the viewer in the tent. Limited perspective really helps build the mystery and paranoia because we only know what the characters know. So we’re with them in the scary situation.
@@ChristopherCoxFilm Exactly!! I would love seeing more of your stuff. Good luck!
oh my god dude , this was amazing , i felt like i was actually there apart of this story , i couldn't tell what was going to happen , i kept second guessing myself, i thought it might be the thing/lamimica or whatever you call it, but in the end i thought it could've also been his friends, this is one of the best horror short films i've seen, if not the best, i literally like had tears on my face by the end of it , and the whole finger thing on the tent , and the special effects/the monster actually looked really scary/real , this was amazing, you gotta keep making these, i wouldn't mind another one with this creature/a part 2 haha , but this was really good , i don't know what i would do if it were me, but i probably would still ask them some sort of question that only they would know , i wonder how it knew about the cat
btw you should try to get this in a film festival or on one of those shortfilm pages if that's the kind of thing you'd be looking to do,
Thank you! Yes, I want this film to get everywhere haha. I've been sharing it on every social media I can but there's only so much I can do. The best way is for everyone who watches and likes it to share it where they can! It would be amazing to give this film the recognition it deserves :)
@@ChristopherCoxFilm oh yeah your welcome! yeah i hope it does too , i was surprised that it didn't have more views compared to your other videos, shared it with a few friends cuz i thought they'd like it, but maybe you could consider contacting omeleto or one of those pages, but yeah i hope it goes well :3
I came here from Cory SSS vid, this vid right here was amazing
The jumpscare just spooked me but the suspense really is the creepiest part of this. Can't wait till' October for more horror films
This actually scared me more than other things. Mimicking is the scariest form of fear. Great job. 👏
This is way too underrated!! It deserves way more likes!! It's so well done, and I just gotta say I love the way the guitar played a calming song during the tenseness of the situation.. It rlly showed how smart the monster was into trying to kill everyone.
this is HIGH TIER horror short film, just gonna leave it here
Here from CoryxKenshin. This has to be one of the best horror short films I've ever seen!
Dude, it is a crime that this doesn't have more views. By far, one of the best horror shorts I've seen, not just of yours, but on CZcams in general. Beautifully filmed! Well done all around, sir!
I need a full length of this. That would be one hell of an opening!
And then the family or friends of Alex go looking for him. And go through a whole ordeal.
Oh mannn.
Woah now this one was a good one. I love the foreshadowing in the beginning and the smoothness of the conversation. You're way of writing scripts truly is out of this world!
Thanks Cory for bringing me to this masterpiece!
It's so refreshing to see original and creative and smart horror. Too many times the 'scare' was yet another version of someone with a big fake smile and lit up eyes. Thank you for not doing that.
Thank you! I do my best to do horror in a fresh way. What’s more important to me is messing with the viewer’s mind so they don’t trust what they see or hear.
I think maybe La Mimica was just not strong enough to cut through the tent and that's what it was trying to do before but when it couldn't it resorted to tricking him. At the end, half of me thought that it was actually his friends and that it was actually them the whole time. You had me tricked too. Very well made. Amazing job! Keep up the good work.
But is strong enough to cut through the flesh 🤔
That 10 from Cory is more than deserved, this is top tier short horror
This is definitely one of the best CZcams horror short films I've ever seen. The quality, acting, story line; everything. Keep it up!
He should've told "them" to speak at the same time when "they" were outside the tent.
Or maybe tell "them" to place both of their hands on the tent at the same time.
This needs to be a mini series or something - the concept is so damn interestinggg
I watched this on CoryxKehsin’s channel but hands down one of the best short horror films I’ve seen on CZcams there was the horror movie logic, the suspense, and top-tier acting. Awesome video, can’t wait binge watch this channel soon.
Just imagine if when they say 3 days of darkness when we arent allowed to go outside you experience this at your front doors or windows. The terrors that awaits for you outside of your own homes.
This is AMAZING. Well written, terrifying, and the utter darkness around the three was so oppressive.
I would pay for this.
Oh dude that was awesome, the suspence of just being inside a tent and the whole banter at the end really is fucking awesome
Great job Chris and everyone else.The tension was heavy the entire film and the story that was told was also interesting. I look forward to seeing more films in the future
I have watched 15 of these today. Quite a few of them were worthy of praise, including this one, but this one actually scared me. Congratulations.
That was such a great horror premise. I thought it would just do the voice mimicry and get them but the level of manipulation was truly horrifying, I'd likely fall for it as well.
Hiii I came from cory! I honestly wanted to say that this film was really cool, and it made me even think that they were still alive for a second lol. I'm tot checking out your other ones.
here from coryxkenshin! gotta say this is one of my favorite short horror films i have seen. but i recently have gotten to learn more about cinematography and such which allows me to be more attentive when watching movies. i am really impressed by how this has gotten my attention and i was invested the whole time, i also love the mind tricks that it plays as the viewer doesn’t know what to think! this is what i love about cinematography stuff.
100% one of the best short horror films I've seen, the atmosphere, the plausibility. I actually forgot I was in my room for a second.
This was amazing! Also I LOVED the Protagonist, asking the questions, and contemplating allowing his friends back in, thinking it could be the Antagonist, but the antagonist had great power in comforting the protagonist to allow access into the tent. Overall, this was outstanding work! Amazing cinematography, story-telling of the monster around the campfire, the dramatic moment of the other character Ian not returning, and the ending! Keep it up!
High IQ monster hopefully there's a part 2 to this I literally got skinwalker vibes from all of this and I immediately knew from the jump that monster was playing him when he made a growl to make it seem real very cool and interesting I love this❤
Honestly just this is good enough I don't think it needs a sequel
this is just a masterpiece
holyshit this is the best short horror movie I've seen!
This is better than alot of horror movies I have seen. This is simply a masterpiece. The horror, suspense, and everything was just equal and great. The best part was when the monster was tricking him. That was extremely suspenseful, and just overall an amazing scene!!
196k views is so underrated you should have like 15 millon for this masterpiece
I don't usually get scared watching horror short but this one is just the best, especially the acting
NAH FAM, These dudes shouldn't on have opened the tent, idk how they felt pressured to open it, I'd rather let my "friends" stay outside the tent so its payback 4 fn with me. 10/10 film
I cant... This is so amazing! I loved the concept for this one, It really messes with your head and you guys did a ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS JOB IN MAKING THAT HAPPEN!
what creates good horror:
nostalgia
created fear of the unknown
jumpscares (good quality ones, and not too often!)
aka, exactly what these horror short films provide.
This is an excellent short horror film! The ending was scary!
I need this as an actual movie. This was genius
This was actually quite creepy. The fear & dread was definitely there. I liked it!
Your best short thus far, love the mechanics of the monster and great acting, looking forward to seeing what you will do next man!
