There's no way I would have allowed myself to be locked in an old dark abandoned building alone - regardless of what that woman promised
Mind officially blown. Scary, thought-provoking, and clever. THIS NEEDS TO BE A FEATURE!!!!!!!
Thanks for the kind words! We’d love to make a feature… some day.
I agree whole heartedly. The concept itself 🎉. I would pay to see this flushed out. And independent film is the way to go rt now. Ppl are fead up w holywierd and woketards. Contact Mel Gibson or the like for guidance. Just have them watch this and read the comments. I'm telling you, ur siting on gold. Do it before a clone takes prize.

Ok seriously this was the best horror short I've seen on here. It had everything I hoped for. Good acting, a solid backstory, a frightening premise. Well done, excellent job I loved it!! Five stars!
Thanks! We're glad you enjoyed it!
😂😂😂😂
I absolutely agree!!!
I'm a recovering addict. Been clean 12 years. This was by far the best horror short I've ever seen. Bravo 👏
Thank you! And congratulations on 12 years!
@tianatasha
I have been clean since 18/09/11.
When I saw the 'H' it brought so much back. The living as if between this world and the next, the people on the scene, the tragedies.
Much respect for you on keeping it together, it ain't no easy thing.
Bath now has spice and all that other rubbish street drugs.
Recovering addicts in the community are often isolated and cuckooed as well as disrespected and abused by some people in authority.
I was once given some 'H' which almost killed because someone mixed it with something very harmful.
I was at Barnabus House on the Paragon in Bath.
The television was on in the background of my grotty little room and the film 'Barrabas' was playing as it was Easter weekend.
I've lost count of those moments I have had when I've seen real dirty low downs and homeless liars get help by deceit.
It's like that moment in front of the judiciary when the crowd vote for Barrabas and hate Jesus instead.
In my solitude that is how it has felt for me on many occasion and inside I pity those who hate me through scorn, derision, insecurity and envy.
This was amazing and is exactly what addiction is to me. I quit drinking 14 years ago and addition is hell. Congratulations on your sobriety. I hope that everyone can find their way out ❤
I know it isn't as big as 6-12 years, but I've been sober from everything since 6/30/2023. I was addicted to H and fentanyl. I went through a 30 day recovery in patient program and fortunately that was enough for me. I never thought it was possible to be looked down upon by other addicts b4 but as soon as they found out H was my DOC, the judgment started. They were "just" alcoholics, coke, and meth addicts. Never stooped to my level of desperation. Fortunately there were a few other H addicts in there with me that knew how I felt and I was grateful for them. They helped me through my own personal hell and I tried to help them as well. None of them made it through the full 30 days and ended up relapsing the scary realization I got out of my recovery (whether it's right or wrong feel free to share your outlook) is that the councelors were in it for the money. None of them gave a damn about any of us or if we relapsed or not. It was made very apparent when I saw one of my counselors a week later and they didn't even remember my name or face. Not a hint of recognition after seeing them every day for 30 days and sharing my life story with them. When you basically spend 6 hours a day with a person for 30 days you would think they would remember you a week later.
Congratulations everyone for being clean and sober today. Well done!
Oh god- I was on suboxone for a few months- and I ended up trading them for goodies. I’ve been on methadone for about 7 years and am almost off now- I’ve been clean for the last 5 years, at least. It would have been- different- with treatment like this! Thanks for the film- I’m enjoying it so far, only about a quarter of the way in, but it’s really good quality, good acting, and it’s keeping me really interested in where it’s going. Thanks again- I’d like to see more from you!
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it!
Congrats on being sober. Its a tough road sometimes. :) As to things being different if this type of treatment truly existed, I still think it was 100% a lie....and a trap. The Devil only wants souls. I bet she would have still been addicted.....plus her soul would belong to him. Chilling movie tale!
I'm coming of methadone too after 29 fecking sole destroying gear n crack clean 2 yrs nearly but even the sight of cash is still so dodgy I'm not sure the odd relapse like 1every 4/5 month still happens then deep depression coz I fked up fair play to those who can do it there's so many triggers out there, any way I'm trying that's all I can say, but life's still shit I burnt all bridges know body cares weather I am or I'm not now, feck it !!!!!!
@@ChristopherMcMahon-pz6ij I hear you, mate- I have definitely been there before, having burned all my bridges so badly that I don’t have anyone left from before getting totally clean. (Except for a few very close family members.) Not a single friend or acquaintance from back then, and I’m no spring chicken, so that’s a long count of years. I’m 48 now, and when I quit, I’d been on H and rock for more than half of my life- when you realize that you’ve spent more of your life on drugs than you ever did sober, it’s a reality check. Don’t kick yourself too hard for relapses, either- I don’t think that even a half of a single percent of people are ever totally successful at their first attempt. I relapsed many times, some of those times were even after years of being clean. Just try again, that’s all you can do in this life. I can say that I’m done for now, and don’t have any plans to use again- certainly not to the depths I was at before (but you never intend to let it get that bad anyway, it just takes on a life of its own)- except for when I know I’m at the end stage of my life. Whether I’m just tired of being around anymore, or there’s a disease or disability bringing the end about, I fully intend to go out on my own terms, when I say, where I say, and how I say- which I will do without any pain, and high off my ass. I’ve seen too many people clawing at the last shreds of life to die in pain anyway, without any dignity or choice in the matter. Not me. For now though, I worked hard to get and stay clean, and I’m not ready to throw in the towel. I guess my point is, it’s hard to stay off drugs, but you can do it- and you shouldn’t be too hard on yourself when you struggle with it. Most addicts/ ex-addicts don’t do as well as you’ve done so far, and most other people out there have no idea how difficult it is and how much you’ve fought already. Best of luck to you-
I'm just coming off methadone now an onto suboxone, I wasn't hooked into any hard drugs I had an accident years ago an fell 18ft off a ladder an broken every bone in my wrist an arm bones were popping out of my skin, once I left hospital they didn't put me on pain management an I started managing my own pain by buying nurofen plus which was anti-inflammatory/codine started have the normal 2 then after few weeks took more an so on until I nearly was taking a whole slab, it was really expensive, I told my midwife all about it an she put me in touch with a facility for drugs an alcohol stayed on meth for couple years an now only taking suboxone an will wean off that, addiction is horrible I wasn't a meth head or laying near a door with a needle in my arm but I always felt like a druggie or loser an was so humiliated an shameful, I always look after myself nice an tidy appearance etc I look after my kids I work, if the hospital did their job properly I wouldn't have had to self medicate, I take my hat off to people getting off drugs to better themselves it's a hard road an from experience it's bloody hard work.
Love it! Would like to see more. I think I've seen almost every horror short on here but this one stands out. Thank you!
Thank you for the compliment!
This would be one hell of a video game.
Ha ha. Would love to see it. 👍
I was thinking haunted house
Nice ending! I was getting really tired of Ms. Sanctimonious.
Thanks! We’re glad you liked it.
Agreed. I still think she was evil-in-disguise. A worker for the Devil. But if she wasn't officially, she was his fool. She thought she was better than others, just because she was not an addict. She found out who was smarter, didn't she. :)
@@taracollins5597if She s not that stupid, break a window at the entrance and she ll be
Ok , sneak out , when your life depends on it!
It reminded me of old style amusement park dark rides such as the house of horrors in Coney Island.
"Don't ask questions."
a minute later:
"What is this place?"
This short horror film is actually really good I’m surprised that this is a actual master piece ❤❤❤❤❤ put ur hand if u like this short horror movie 🤚
Anyone who's actually been to treatment knows they have great food and you can eat 24hrs! At least in the ones I was lucky enough to go to! 12 years sober😊
Congrats on your sobriety.
Wow you got lucky then 😅 the treatment center I was in just had snacks until breakfast, lunch and dinner. But the food WAS good when we did get it
Mia rly went "*then perish*" and I truly respect her for that
This made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Bravo! 👏
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
HOLAY FUNK!! THAT WAS GOOD!
That was a GREAT ending.
Thanks!
Okay, that was just terrifying 😮
Who could resist the blurb for this?
Scary, intense, and I loved it! The "deal" is completely opposite of the normal expectation, and that was truly different and interesting. Because why wouldn't the devil be tricky? A+
Thank you!
Thanks for the awesome sauce video! God bless us all AMEN!
Define god in a coherent unambiguous and internally consistent way and prove it exists, because this film doesn't.
I never write in caps unless it's extremely important and I can't believe it...here comes a whole sentence in caps....THIS WAS F-ING AWESOME!!!!!! Everything about it! Actors...audio....storyline..wow! Just everything!! More please???
WOW! Thanks so much for the kind words. We really worked hard on this one. We're glad you enjoyed it! We have another film coming soon, real soon, but it isn't horror.
Language
Watching this with my hands over my face lol just peeking between my fingers LOL I loved this!
This short film shows that what goes around comes around.
This is a masterpiece 💯💯💯
No way does this only have 160 likes
This definitely gave me grave encounters vibes. Great short film.
Thanks!
Very low views for such a pure horror film. Love it.
Bravo & well done! GOLD short!! Absolutely brilliant! Gratitude for your great work!🌿
Thanks!
really good im watching this at almost 3am in the dark
Very good!
Thanks!
holy crap... Just finished it. This is top tier, well done!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Excellent short! One of the very best I've watched here! This gave me some serious "Grave Encounters" vibes! I would love to see this expanded into a full-length feature! There is so much more insanity that could be done! 👍👍
Thanks! And we’d love to turn it into a feature. Always exploring our options.
WOW!!! That was actually REALLY REALLY GOOD!! I love the turn of events, that was so clever! You could have made a whole movie on that, a good 90 minutes, or hay even 82! That was great, IT LEFT ME WANTING MORE!!! I WANTED TO SEE WHAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN TO THE OTHER LADY!!! There's soooooooo much potential here!! It's kinda like Silent Hill, I LOVE THOSE KINDA MOVIES!!!
Thanks for the compliments! Trust me, we’re trying to get a feature off the ground. 🤞🏻
@@GraveLakeMedia best of luck to ya, ill most definitely be looking out!
This was amazing. Been clean for almost 5 years now and man…what a journey. Not always a good one, but a journey none the less. This was absolutely fantastic, mainstream movies/production crews could NEVER!! ❤
Thanks! And congratulations on 5 years!
@@GraveLakeMedia thanks!!! 🙏🏻 keep up the amazing work!
Well, that scared the shit out of me!!!!! I wasn’t expecting it to be so scary and so great❤❤❤
fantastic concept this should be a full length film for sure !!
Kudos scariest thing I’ve seen in a couple years !!!
Thanks!
Daaaaaaaaaamn karma is a mofo!!! Awesome film!!!!
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
Awesome video!
It feels like one of episodes from VHS movie. Nice
Best horror I've seen in a VERY long while!
Thanks for the kind words!
@@GraveLakeMediaIt's indeed one of the best horror shorts I've seen since The Motorist.
This was great! Best scene? When the guy begs for her to kill him! That actor had a bit part, but he killed it! Pun intended.loved the fact that she still didn't take the deal, free will is a great thing. Also loved that karma got hers! Will be looking out for more like this!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
i thought she took the deal?
@@timelkin838 no. By doing the drugs she didn’t alter her past. If she said no this time, it would’ve been her accepting the deal. Accepting to have her memories stolen. When she did the drugs that’s why the devil’s messenger was angered.
Now THAT was scary!!!!!
This is so damn good...
Why hasn't this blown up?!?
🙂 Grave lake media I ♥️ your awesome new film 💯😘
Thanks!!
This would be a good story expanded for a whole movie, a book
Thanks! Glad you think it’d be worth exploring.
This was brilliant,I loved it..Most shorts are quiet & try building up slowly on the story,so you don't know much about the story till the end,sorry if I'm not making much sense..
But this film was brilliant it had a story line,it still built up the fear,it still had you guessing..my jaw hit the floor a few times lol..
I really really enjoyed this,had me gripped from the start & kept me watching right till the end,infact I the only disappointment was that it finished to soon I was really getting into it..I'm going to share this with some of my friends..
Thankyou so much for this brilliant short film..Have a fantastic day & take care ✌🏼☮🤘🏻🌠✌🏼☮🤘🏻🌠
Thanks so much for the kind words. I’m glad you liked it.
Well Done Excellent short film
Thanks!
It's 11:30am and still You scared me.
The most creepiest short I have seen so far. Very creepy and delightfully scary.😜
Thanks!
My pleasure ! Hope to see more like this 😉@@GraveLakeMedia
Very good
Very good
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome! 👍
This is the best short horror film I've seen in a long time. Well done. Bravo.
Thanks!
Well done loved it! 👏5 ⭐️
Thanks!
Definitely enjoy this. Thanks
You’re welcome!
lol omg yes girl we heard it and yeah get me the hell outta here! Scary!
Loved this. Superior horror. Well done!! More, please?
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
Maneiroo!!!!
Suboxone is sublingual. Unless I've been screwed into suffering through the taste of them for the past 5 years I'm pretty sure there is no form of suboxone that you can just swallow and she just wasted it and got no effects from it
Yes. As someone who's been on it for years both the pill and film forms can't be swallowed.
True. For the sake of keeping the conversation going we just kind of ignored the fact that she would have pills under her tongue for 20-30 minutes and would be talking funny.
@@GraveLakeMedia aah, I see. True. But still would’ve added that much more credibility to the actress’s already very convincing performance 😉
Good movie..love it..
Thanks!
@@GraveLakeMedia Welcome 🙂
Except for the club scene is a bit confusing to me, this film overall is a pleasant surprise, an underrated jem.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for a ♥️ 🙂
Loved it. hoping for next time for more psychological horror and less cheap loud distorted jump scares
Thanks. The FF films we used for inspiration were pretty heavy into jump scares. People seem to either love it or hate it. Psychological does seem to burn deeper. I agree.
Why didn't she bust the glass doors at the end? Lol
Never trust a junkie.
Ha ha.
Just one fix🤘🏻
Fascinating filming style! But one thing confused me: How was GIVING IN to the drugs something that would anger the Devil?? Wouldn't giving in to sin...be appealing to him?
Saying no would be her agreeing to erase her memory of it. So instead, she just repeated the same act so as not to change anything in her life. She didn’t let the devil have her pain and memories, but she’ll still struggle with addiction the rest of her life.
@@GraveLakeMedia Oh, I see now. So by refusing to agree to their 'method' of taking her addiction away (costs her her memories plus her soul!) ironically by doing drugs , she will struggle like a human....but keeps her soul. Interesting.
@@taracollins5597yea I'll keep my soul. Life doesn't last long . But after life does lol
@@jborrego2406 Agreed. Addictions are tough to beat & cravings might reappear....but they'll vanish eventually. Unlike the afterlife. :)
@@GraveLakeMedia The lady mentioned 100% success but only for those who came out alive because they gave into the Devil. The girl did not give into the Devil and is ...the first... to not die from fright like the others whose souls are trapped in there forever.
Ive been addicted to heroin for years and now im addicted to fentanyl. This horror movie hits so close to home its scary. Well done. Was this made by addicts/former addicts?
Heroin wasn't my problem, but I can say I've spent substantial time the in the rooms. I met several people battling addiction and some of their stories were the inspiration for this film. I hope you can eventually find peace and balance outside of addiction.
I've been an addict most of my life, when she says "maybe, maybe not" I actually applauded! I wish more movies had the guts(lol) to tell it like it is! Its not a fairytale!

Excellent, rivetting. But why didn't the older woman who got locked in there, break the glass doors to get out?
Fair point, but being an exterior door on a large plant those windows were thicker than you think. That doors meant to keep people out. And in. 😉
I also got the sense that once you're in.......He keeps you there unless you're released from outside.
Watching again cause I enjoyed it..Right I'm not nit picking here,but isn't suboxone for heroin/opiate addiction??,cause she would need them everyday,and depending how long she has been on them,put it like this she wouldn't have the energy she's got in this lol..
Sorry,it's just something I picked up on & was curious about her addiction,maybe I'm over thinking it..But I loved it & what you did in 25min is brilliant,took us on a rollercoaster ride,thankyou..🤘🏻🤘🏻
When I wrote this, I envisioned her going through withdrawal while inside. Making the overnight experience even more torturous. But, you’re probably correct. She would be so sick she probably wouldn’t have the energy she does here. Glad you liked it, though.
Jeez! rehab ain't that bad.
excellent
Thanks!
Wow ! That was ... scary ! Well done, cast & crew ! Where do you guys find these derelict buildings ?!!!
Our location manager is a police officer in the city where those buildings exist. They need to be torn down, but because of the asbestos inside it will be very expensive for the city. So for now it just stays condemned. As cool as it was to shoot there, it was by far the most unsafe environment we’ve ever filmed in.
Thanks for the reply. Let's see if asbestos can kill that demon lurking inside !@@GraveLakeMedia
I don’t know if you know, but vampires are some cool people, are they not? But let me tell you something that I found out: a werewolf can kill a vampire. Did you know that? I never knew that. So, I don’t want to be a vampire any more. I want to be a werewolf.
Yeah, but you'd only get to be a werewolf once a month. (Full Moon). The rest of the time the vampire could kill you🤔.
Nice Herschel Impression! 😆
Congrats now u will get to enjoy some of the Finer things in life whith your money
Ok, the hand could have been better, aside from that, very good.
I thought i had bad dreams...
This really happened.
You couldn't handle that on strong acid
Now that's horror.
Thanks!
Quite a few jumpscareds
We tried not to have too many.
Who even knows what this mess was all about?
What did the other lady gained by making people go in that house?
She just got off on it. Probably convinced herself she was doing the Lords’s work by subjecting people to misery while supposedly saving their souls.
@@GraveLakeMediadidn’t she basically admit all this to the girl before she went inside?
She was evil. She worked for the Devil, yet didn't like it when she was trapped in the very trap she set.
24:19she deserves it
Im confused on how she came to be in that woman's care???!!!
Have to suspend some disbelief here. A desperate single parent may try some experimental treatment though. When conventional doesn’t seem to be working.
+ Reatmen +
LANGUAGE!!!😂
So was the counselor on drugs too???
No. She was just evil. No drugs necessary.
Can someone explain the ending to me?
To remove her addiction, the devil would take all memories of her drug use if she agreed to it. By not saying no, doing the drugs in the basement like she had before, she refused to sell her memories and hold on to them. So she will live with fighting the addiction and hold on to her memories by choice. Because she believes it’s the right thing to do.
@@GraveLakeMedia okay that is helpful but why did she lock Agatha in the building to essentially kill her.
@@che.79 because Agatha is evil. As was mentioned, if you die of fright in there your soul never leaves. Probably because of the proximity to the portal. Agatha sent her in there while detoxing, with no Suboxone. So if she didn’t take the deal she would probably die and be trapped in there. But, she made it and trapped Agatha instead. I imagined Agatha has done this to a lot of people.
@@GraveLakeMedia thankyou so much for this clarification, that completely makes sense now that I have that information. Thankyou for your time. Appreciate you.
And the tricycles ?
Honestly, no idea. They were there when we went in to film. We did zero set decoration.
@@GraveLakeMedia🤣😂 weird
I really enjoyed this film. I watched it three to four times already. 😂😂😂 I’m glad that witch got what she deserved in the end.
EDIT- I would not have stepped foot in that old building.. me and that hag would have had a coming to Jesus moment
Thanks! The whole story was really just setting up her comeuppance. Rachel did a great job bringing that character to life and getting the audience to despise her.
As for that building? We won’t be back either. Cold. Damp and dark. Full of dust, mold and mildew. There’s a reason it’s condemned. Our lead actress was sick for days after filming in there.
@@GraveLakeMedia she even stated in the film that she was freezing , I don’t blame you for not going back, that place looked every bit of haunted..
thats stupid. no point either way.
3:14 stop the cap
What’s the cap? 🤔
@@GraveLakeMediashe’s being a smartass😟
People get better by therapy or meds. Not god, Jesus, buddha, Allah or whatever power people prey too. When was the last time god showed up? Never? Great ending though I gotta say.
God has shown up a lot but that is for a different day. Therapy and meds are a huge thumbs up too.
Weak. Felt like a video version of the shitty school troups that used to do the "just say no" plays.
😂😂. So funny. Except, to beat the evil she had to do the drugs.
reatmen
t t
Bi bok anlamadım
WHAT IS THE STORY ABOUT? ACTING AND DIRECTING WAS GREAT BUT THE STORY CANT RELATE TO EACH OTHER!!!!
It’s basically a deal with the devil that she didn’t take. When he touched her she went back in time to the first time she tried drugs. The devil would take all her memories from that point on. Good and bad, to rid her of her addiction. But she didn’t want to let go of them because her moms last months were in that time frame. It confused a lot of people, you’re not alone.
@@GraveLakeMediaSo the Devil is actually the good guy?
No. He was going to take her soul and memories. She didnt want that, so she took the drugs to stay human and live with it.@@7prudent
@@7prudentinteresting take 🤔 😊
dude, it's boring as f, you just copied Grave Encounters and put some religious stuff on it. Of course it will scare some of us if you'll use loud noises every 2-3 minutes.
The only similarity between this and GE is the green night vision. The story obviously didn’t intrigue you, but thanks for watching.
Boring and totally predictable.....how disappointing!
Sorry you didn’t like it. 😢
That was awful
What a BIG BS!!! I can' t understand the positive comments on here!!! BS OVER BS! WASTED TIME TO WATCH !!! EVEN IT IS A SHORT MOVIE ! Horror? No way! Just a BIG bs as I said ! And this is my opinion. ! Sorry not sorry!!! 😣😡
I will never give a positive comment on BS !!!!!!! 🤬💩
That’s a lot of BS’s for one comment. 😳
Do I get any more Suboxone is exactly what I’d have asked that early in recovery. 😂
i like this omg
Thanks!
