Anyone else here think they could listen to bill tell stories all day?
bananaman4000--I was thinking the same thing throughout the movie. Loved that actor!
@@neverthesame7887 his voice and choice of words make a good story telling lol
@@bananaman-we1xs Absolutely! Plus, that combination of his accent and the cadence of his story telling made you feel mesmerized. I was hoping Bill would explain some things the demon did to convince him that this woman was NOT a woman. Still an amazing story
100% I didn't want him to stop.
As long they dont get him locked up in the asylum
I just realized, almost this literal entire short was done in 1 big long take. Theres only 2 camera transitions in the entire film. That takes some kind of talent and coordination
IF SHE WAS LOCKED IN THE SHED HOW DID SHE KNOW WHERE THE KEYS WERE LMAO not today satan
Exactly what I said...
Damn I just thought of that and Marco’s dumb ass fell for it
YESSS!! That's such an instant give away
my exact thoughts lol
Or she's Pam and that's her place. Her truck, etc.
So it took him and judging by the way his yell was cut off. I am surprised she didn't attack her manipulated Hero. I loved this one . It might be one of my favs.
some demons can still have respect and spare those who helped them
honor I dare say
@@Buhleep demons have no honor
It was a test
Oh, he was going to get his next.
@@mrjiddly565 yes they do
my god the acting is spectacular. they legit have to make this a full on movie.
Ikr
💯
They better work on it quick.
I hope they do, then we may get the end of the story. Seems to me like they ran out of money & shouted, it's a rap.
🥦
He didn't know how clean her face and nails were even after the rancher admitted to her being locked up for a year
Gullibility at its finest.
I was lost in the dark, starving, confused. Two voices inside my head competed for my attention: they delivered different stories and I couldn’t choose. Once I made a decision-they went quietly.
At 10:15 ... I really like how the shot goes around the back of Marco's head. It seems like Bill's story is going in one ear and out the other because of how crazy his story is.
That's moreso the sound design that triggers that conveyance than the continuous panning movement, but it's still a nice design choice.
@@PFC33That's so interesting! Thank you for sharing that. Now I have to rewatch that scene!
The background music in the beginning and end was perfect for this one. This was good and I guess the woman is the demon...
Agreed music was solid. What does everyone else think, was she the demon? 😈
@@WatchALTER Bill is not the demon. The girl said she wanted to slit his throat, and she would have known that slitting a demon's throat is futile. But possibly none of them are demons, she just didn't trust Marco and ran for it when his back was turned. Of course, the question Marco should have asked was, if a jail cell won't hold her/it, what is so magical about your shed?
@@WatchALTER I thought she was the demon, because Bill sure stopped screaming fast once she got out and disappeared so quickly, ....probs killed Bill or took him with her.....very intriguing....more please🙏
I think so
@@henrywhite2984 what about Bill's sudden stop in screaming?
He was told it moves fast and now he knows.
Brilliant plot, incredibly well acted!
Marco's back story must have been interesting.
♡*****
right? We need a prequel BADLY bruh
I especially loved that bit of dialogue where Bill says, "I'm gonna hang back and make some drinks." That was a good call and a good use of that time while Marco is out. Speaking of Marco... what a bloody ingrate. Let's see, he was rescued essentially, housed, clothed and fed without question I might add, and yet he has the nerve to refer to Bill's home and his generosity as some kind of Hell he's discovered after being killed prior. sheesh.
Ok boomer
@@martin518441 wtf! this is the most re.ard.d response.
@@martin518441 still think it's cool to call people that name?
Wats with the kidnapped lady?
@@BroflovskiSlave demon*
Ohhhhhh My God... From 2:05 - 24:35...is it Single shot??? 😱... Actors, dialogue delivery, Direction, Camera, lighting... Awesome... 👍 👌
There were many hidden breaks in the shot but it was strung together well. Like he's holding the lantern going from outside to inside and the lantern fills the frame long enough for a break. I noticed several but not because you could TELL it was a cut, but just because situations that would work to hide cuts kept happening. I doubt a filmmaker this good would have put those in if they weren't using them.
@@TroyBlackford Oh... Thanks... That was good editing then. 👍
@@AtMyHomeChannel Amd again: I don't *know* this, but after an episode of Sunny done to look like one shot that fooled me, I saw them explain how they did it in smaller shots that they stuck together artfully, and I just think they did the same masterful kind of job here. Unless you look for it, it really does seem like one shot, but being modular like that helps them make it as best they can. Excellent work, either way! Well shot, great story. That last shot with the moon right when you're reeling from the two disappearing? Freaking amazing. I don't know what haunted me more: the moon, or the story. The combination was just a great kind of gut punch.
You should definately see the movie 1917 you will get to know how the hidden cut is done, because that whole movie was a one shot movie type style
@@abhishekmukherjee1680 Sure... Will do that 👍
This is one of those rare gems that deserves a Hollywood treatment!!!
Ok hands down one of my favorite short films of all time. The story, the acting, the cinematography, everything was excellent! I legit did not want this thing to end 10 /10 👌👌
Legit?
one of the best short ever made.... kudos for this impossible one-take shot... need BTS of this
Whats BTS?
@@tomasotreasaigh111 It's Behind The Scenes :))
@@tomasotreasaigh111 BTS means behind the scenes..
This was absolutely amazing
Awesome
This might be my favorite thing on Alter. I really wanted to know more about Marco's story but I could say that about all three characters. It was so weird because as crazy as Bill could sound, I never felt like he was lying. Crazy, maybe, but he believed in what he was saying. Her story, while much more plausible, just didn't add up. That being said, I would have let her go too. I don't think many people could just leave that situation without helping her. That ending though! The scariest thing about this whole film is the idea that Bill was right and that most of us would have let the Demon go.
Discernment is absolutely crucial. I would never in a million years rule anything out as impossible. I have such a short life span compared to the eons of existence. What might’ve been true the last couple decades might drastically change in a instance. Very unpredictable life we live.
@@BeauteOr "Why not believe in what he said?" Because demons don't exist, and you shouldn't believe men about the women locked in their sheds even if they have given you a snack
@@joechapman8208 Oh they don't exist huh. That's the point. You wouldn't believe it because you don't believe it. And then you're dead. Believe men because they gave you a snack? He saved his life. Also, it shows in the end they do exist
@@el34glo59 This is, and I can't stress this enough, not a documentary
@@joechapman8208 I never said it was. No one did. Are you drunk or just amazing at parties? I said you're missing the point. You wouldn't know. And you never know. I'm not religious so don't even go there
Probably the best ALTER short I’ve watched. This is fantastic! Great acting, direction, writing... even the lighting is Oscar-movie-like. Congratulations to all involved for putting this together.
it's not an "Alter" stort , Alter is basically a platform for directors to host their shorts , look in the description to see the director of the movie an d maybe support them.
I agree!
@@martin518441 good point!
Whoever runs the sound department, deserves a raise. Alter's music is on point in their shorts!
Alter doesn't make these films, they showcase them, they have nothing to do with the sound.
Did anyone noticed the cross ? At the end of the film in the Bill,s cabin entry? Maybe Bill was a God Man. And the woman was the demon. IT would explain how Bill can hold the demon in the wooden shed
That is a very interesting observation and thought provoking way of looking at it, good one👍
Yeah i wondered about that too but not so much because of the cross but the skull that was outside his shed...but that is because of a weird situation I walked into one day
I must have played back the ending five times, and never did see the cross.
no he wasnt god,he just learned,he is a weird guy knows where to look.thats why he knew stories before the one that he said about this nazi so in so much time he got her locked up in there ,he even called a priest,he learned.he must have done expirements with that priest but he didnt know what else to do except guarding her...
@@observer8477 think he mean he was just a godly man
Marco deadass simped so hard he lost all sense of reasoning. Bruh how would she know where the keys are IF SHES NEVER EVEN BEEN INSIDE THE DAMN HOUSE?
For starters, this is a magnificent horror short. Credit is to due everybody involved: The script writers, the director, the set designers, the camera work, the sound work, the set work, the actors, everyone. Really incredible stuff.
I thought I would write out my theories as to what is going on here: (Spoilers below)
Each character is a deconstruction of something from the bible, and the old man is the most mysterious of all. All three characters are liars, but the old man and the woman increasingly tell the truth as it becomes more apparent that Marco immediately knows when somebody is lying to him. If they lie to his face, he will know not to trust them. Instead, every character is trying to tell the truth in a way that serves their agenda.
Marco talks about having "come back to life," and "needing to make everything better." This is generally in line with resurrection as a miracle portrayed in the Bible. Nobody is ever resurrected for no reason, by Jesus or anybody else. Holy items and people don't have real power, but are merely allowed by God to do supernatural things when it suits the divine agenda. Another major prophet who performed healings and resurrections was Elisha. Elisha healed and resurrected people during his lifetime, and was able to sense the intentions of anybody who spoke to him. He couldn't be lied to. While Elisha was able to heal others, however, he died of illness because he couldn't heal himself. In the Bible, a man's funeral was interrupted when marauders set upon the funeral party. The funeral party were afraid and had to run for their lives, so instead of finishing what they were doing they just chucked the dead man's body into Elisha's tomb and ran away. The dead man's body touched one of Elisha's bones, and he came back to life. This is considered noteworthy in that Elisha performed a miracle a year or so after his own death.
Marco is injured when the old man finds him, and talks from the beginning about needing to be somewhere and find somebody, who he "owes." Marco wasn't just injured out there in the dark, but rather he died. He was resurrected, and now possesses at least one of Elisha's traits - he can't be lied to. However, he may not have been a good man prior to his death, and this second life for him may be intended to atone for the first. Marco says at one point that he "knows a demon when he sees one," but later speaks of their existence as a hypothetical ("let's say demons do exist....") So, Marco may be tasked with rescuing somebody with the marauders that were nearby when he was being buried and came back to life. This isn't delved into, but Marco's informed traits are of having been bad in the past, of having been given another lease on life, and always knowing when others are telling him the truth. He is tasked with doing something good, but he isn't exactly a hero so much as somebody doing his best to live up to whatever has been asked of him.
The old man exhibits some of the traits he describes IN REFERENCE TO THE DEMON. Specifically, that the demon "will say whatever it needs to say." The old man makes some alarmingly specific claims, and possesses information that he must have acquired somehow if it's true at all. For example, how does he know the demon is Asmodeus? Why is he telling Marco about Asmodeus' cannibalism of other demons? How could he know those things? What would the relevance be? The old man exhibits many traits of good characters in the bible, such as offering food, drink, shelter, and hospitality. He is most likely telling the truth when he says he's kept the demon captive for many months with no food or water.
He is telling the truth about Paula's farm, and how all of her troubles stopped when he locked the woman up. He encourages Marco to talk to Paula to learn whether he, himself, is trustworthy. However, he is suspiciously evasive on the point of why he was spending time with Paula in the first place. He strongly implies that he is her innocent friend and benefactor, but he doesn't spell this out, perhaps because Marco will sense a lie unless it is a lie of omission. Furthermore, he implies that he was plagued by lustful dreams and visions while the demon was free, and begins to hint at having seen things about which he has never told anybody. He backs off, though, perhaps so Marco won't press him for details he doesn't wish to divulge. I took this to mean that the old man possesses sexually devient tendencies on which he does not act. The demon knew this about him, and used these weaknesses against him. He knows she is supernatural because she knows secrets he has never told anyone.
Later, Marco says to the old man that "(Marco) thinks (he's) the demon," but then makes it sound like he's going to leave it at that. I don't think the old man is a literal demon, or that Marco is speaking literally. Rather, this calls back to when the old man was telling war stories about fighting in World War II, and later being opposed to the Vietnam War since it was a war of aggression and not liberation from an oppressive, genocidal regime like the Nazis. In this respect, Marco has sensed that the old man is concealing a malicious agenda, but the old man is not a literal demon. He is a religiously devout human who has bent a demon to his will. The old man speaks of the Vietnam War and how "we" (Americans) were "the demons," and his friend was just trying to explain this to veterans who unknowingly or unwillingly carried out evil because they were patriots carrying out their country's orders. This concept comes full circle when Marco calls the old man "a demon," because his intuition tells him that he is the instigator and the responsible party for the situation at hand.
The woman is a demon, and may even be Asmodeus himself. She is very confused about how to deal with Marco, since with her supernatural powers she can sense that most of the lies she can tell him won't work. When he demands to know how long she's been locked up, she says she "doesn't know" since the truth would strike him as ridiculous. (She may have been locked up for hundreds or thousands of years. There is obviously something metaphysical going on here. Even if she's only been there for a single human lifetime, it's possible that the old man was quite young when he locked her up, and if she admits it's been 30 years Marco will wonder why she's still so young.) When Marco demands to know WHY she is locked up, she again repeats not remembering because she is stalling for time. She is trying to figure out what to tell him, and this is very confusing since she can't lie to this human but requires his trust and help. As he demands more information, she eventually gives up slivers of the truth - she DID cause the problems on Paula's farm, but she did so against her will. She was talked into it and paid the first time, but the old man kept demanding she take it farther. She "didn't like it," meaning that even though she is a demon of lust, she had no quarrel with Paula and no personal reason for harming her animals. She carried out the harm against Paula's farm, but she did it for the old man against her will.
So we know that the old man has not been fully honest about his intentions towards Paula, since he was responsible for the calamity that befell her farm, AND for its seeming salvation. We know that he has kept the demon prisoner for an undefined period of time while Paula has continued to benefit, and that Paula most likely doesn't know about whatever deal he made with the demon. If I had to guess, the old man wanted something from Paula, whether it was money, love, or her trust, and created the problem so he could play the hero and solve it.
The woman really IS evil, but the minute Marco saves her she can't take her eyes off of the old man. The truck doors will not open, and when Marco turns his back for a few seconds to open them, the old man's screams are silenced abruptly within maybe three seconds. That's all she needs to run him down from what looks like a distance of 100 feet or more. She could easily have harmed Marco with just 3 more seconds, but at the end you can see she is watching Marco from far away in the darkness. She executes her captor, but spares the man who saved her.
So, the old man is a human keeping a demon captive, but he is not the hero of the story. The woman is an extremely dangerous immortal demon, but she is not the malicious actor. Marco is a morally neutral foolish character who is trying to redeem himself. He can sense lies and discern the truth, but this doesn't always help him figure everything out correctly. At the end, he put together that neither the old man nor the woman were trustworthy, but that the old man was persecuting the woman and not vice versa. After he helps her, he feels dread realizing that following his instincts led him to set a demon free.
She (the demon) was watching Marco in the end after she killed the old man? Where?
great analysis! Thank you /
Probably the best Alter short to date. The man who played the vet did a phenomenal job.
It's not fucking alter
@@martin518441 how would you prefer we speak? “That alter film was great.” “That film that was showcased by alter but NOT MADE by them was great.” Everyone who should know already know they don’t make the films.
@@fancykarlmarxa lot of ppl don't, from the comments
Absolutely spot on Alter. At 7:46 the old man throws out 2 Devil signs with left hand. So I thought he might be the Demon but his story was convincing to listen to. The younger man fell prey to her story. Outstanding twist at the finale. He loosed her and the old man got swept away by the REAL DEMON. 25 mins went by like nothing..
Bravo Alter... Bravo!
ALTER is not making these movies they are just a platform for creators to host their movies LOOK IN THE DESCRIPTION for the creator and give credit and support where it's due
I don't think Alter even knows who's the demon, they just like leaving the rest to the audience
plot twist marco was the demon.
Its telling only half the story an otherwise solid 10 out of 10 if they would have showen her eating bill or something hint guys the audience doesnt like half stories great piece of work if you showed us the demon
maybe its cause where you see a demon, everybody else sees a normal person and vise versa
no he knows.he said all that time locking her up in there he expirement on her,called a priest and thats why he exposed the demons name somehow.thats why he knew that story of that sick nazi monster at the beginning,he was a weird guy,knew things and priest helped but didnt know what else to do except guarding her up...
Alter didn't make this or any of the shorts they showcase.
i wanted this to turn into a full hour and thirty minute movie! Was so into it. Been into your work for the past few days, ALTER, and as a huge horror fan, you guy's are are definitely a huge breath of fresh air. Keep up the impeccable work!

I trapped the devil
Check it out
Why is no one questioning what Marco is doing in the middle of the no where with a prior injury ? What has he been up to ? What’s his background ? I don’t think anyone here is free of sin. Overall this is amazing, the acting, one shot take, dialogue, lightning. Amazing for a screenwriting student such as myself.
Marco has the ability to detect lies and mentions he was going to come.back to life and make everything better. I'm pretty sure no one in this short is fully human.
The demon has the power to manipulate people's minds and coerce them into situations. That's why marco thought he was turning his life around only to end up right where he needed to be and in the right mental state for the demon to manipulate him. Watch the movie "I trapped the devil"
Beautifully made film! The setting was appropriately dim, dark and dismal, like a nightmare, the flow was amazing and the two men were perfectly cast! Bravo!
This reminds me of the episode "The Howling Man" from the original Twilight Zone series. I definitely appreciated this updated version. Thanks Alter.
I remember that episode very well. Before seeing it, I wrote a short story much like this when I was a kid, so that episode really stuck with me. Twisted minds think alike?
@@TheVetusMores Late nights watching black and white horror films as a kid, pretending to be some vampire or zombie the following day? My late great-grandparents were incredibly patient with me...🎃😁
@@tangensrift8709 Better days, my friend, better days ... :)
Yes!! And after the Devil was released from his cage as a kind-looking man - he walked down the hallway and his appearance progressively turned into a real devil!!!! (Not bad photography for the 60’s).
Absolutely! I thought the same thing. I remember seeing that episode of the Twilight Zone as a kid and being scared all night. Unfortunately, I don't think this short film stuck the ending like the "Howling Man". The ending was too abrupt and didn't provide any consequences for Marco releasing the demon.
Excellent storytelling! I felt immersed in the setting, we had just enough information to from our own judgments and then change them back again as the story unfolded. When Marco appeared Bill readily takes him in and feeds him, showing kindness and quickly establishes himself as a spinner of yarns, perhaps somewhat embellished over time, but then we see the woman held in the outhouse. Her story sounds plausible, whereas Bill's sounds crazy. In the end, we see an astonished Marco as both have disappeared, and there is something very supernatural in the air. Very well produced and acted. Feels authentic.

That was one hell of script writing, camera work, and filming. Absolutely amazing team.
I'm sorry but my suspension of disbelief collapsed as soon as he said "Asmodeus king of the nine hells" cuz that's straight up DnD lore lmao
This was so good, I'm floored. I love the way it's all put together like a oner. It keeps you glued to everything, every word, every look, gesture, piece of set dressing. I love it.
Man!...Ole Bill has got a voice made for Hollywood, whatever his real name is
Amazing acting overall. But Bill...great actor with a great voice.
Loved this story! I really loved the backstory leading to the imprisonment of the demon, very well thought out and put together, also loved the haunting background shot at the end! Great great video!!
This is by far my favorite film showcased on this channel this year. Also guys don’t be a captain save a hoe, you never know the type of demon you might unleash.
This video is a an example why sometimes we shouldn't be the hero in certain situations
This is a masterpiece.
I'am speachless.
fantastic music, cinematography, dialogue, acting, story.
That short is better quality than the vast majority of block buster feature films
Not music, sound.
Brilliant writing, costumes, set design, makeup/hair, cinematography and lighting. Just outstanding. Thank you to the creators of this art.
I'm blown away by this! The writing, acting and production values are top notch! Why can't Hollywood do this anymore?
Because all they care about is money, not art..
Funny thing is I thought this took place well before it did til I saw the pickup truck, 😂
This is probably the best one I’ve seen yet. The ending is just perfection.
Better than any horror movie I've seen! I just adore bill! I would have believed him no second thought!
I remember this one on Twilight Zone. Good new spin.
💜
And i should go to bed but 20:03.."ah the canteen" "the canteen?" "check the canteen strap!" Marco dont you find this suspicious...And Bill was so nice to you...whats wrong with you Marco?
Bill could've been right out of Red dead redemption 2.
That is such a compliment. And I mean this based in how much my 16 year old raved about Red Dead Redemption
Masterfully done! Loved the cinematography, story, acting..definitely deserves some awards!
This was incredible. I feel like it was really well written, acted and shot. The story was definitely familiar, but felt different. The ending was perfection.
So my guess is the main guy is actually dead and he's in purgatory and this was all a test which I'm guessing he failed. Homie should have kept going
I think this is def a big possibility here. Good job brining this to our attn.
My thoughts exactly
Nice. That didn't come to mind
Nice. That didn't come to mind
Nice. That didn't come to mind
I see why most people think Bill was telling the truth and that the woman was the demon but I always find that the type of movies alter shows are usually psychological so I think maybe both Bill and the woman were never really there..... It's just a hypothetical situation where you must choose one and in this case he chose the demon's side.
Or another conclusion could be that he was already dead and this was like some afterlife test to be in heaven or stay alone there. And since he chose the demon's story so he was left alone in that strange place, going by the wide frame shot at the end.
No loser she was a demon. End of story dude. For fk sake people need to stop when a story is so straightforward
@@ArielCotton oh you poor triggered boomer. I can understand at your old age you probably won't be able to use that much brain to look for more possibilities in everything. Your time is running out I get it. Stay blessed sir Or ma'am !

Not even all the way through this film yet but OMG I love storylines and acting like this! Absolutely love the interactions and intense intellectual discussions, the plot, the theme! All of it is brilliant thank you so much for this short lapse from reality....
Yet another marvelous piece of work. Bravo to the makers and crew of the film and Alter for bringing it to us.
Same old story, men are always gonna fall for the Demon of lust.
See the doorway to.Bills shack is in a crucifix shape at the end and her doorway is not.
Man I would love to see a part two of this
Really enjoyed it. No jump scares, no special effects, never saw the character in its demon form yet it worked beautifully.
Excellent quality all around. One of the best shorts I've watched on here. Thanks to all involved in this production.
I just love to watch these every day for some reason
WOW that was insane , poor guy
She took him away , when he stop screaming
One of the best shorts I've seen really wish this was a full length film. Would absolutely listen to Bill talk all damn day!!
That was so captivating. The line delivery and acting were so top notch that I felt like I believed Bill no matter what. Amazing work!
The beginning of this had me like 👁️👁️
This short is just on another level.
I remember I started watching this channel. They weren’t even monetized yet. I made the remark that you guys should have over a million subscribers, barely over a year ago, and now look at you! 🎉 I’ve enjoyed every second 🔥
Forever Altered ♥️
I agree with everyone else, that the actors did an awesome job! I was enthralled from beginning to end! The director did a great job!
Had some serious western vibes. Also feel like the writers did a decent amount of research on demonology, as Asmodeus is indeed the Lord of Lust. Fun fact, he also runs Hell's Gambling Den. Anyway, very tight script, I liked listening to Bill, and the abrupt ending made me really wish there was more...but I like that it leaves you with questions, because I think it's supposed to be open to interpretation. Good work
Yeah but a succubus is a female demon. Meaning that even under the female body it’s female so I couldn’t understand why he was saying he.
There is no gambling den in hell and asmodeus doesn't actually exist, most of demonology is made up crap with no biblical basis
Sure did. When it started out, I thought it was in the old west of the late 19th Century.
@@Beckaboo3397 Yes, and a Succubus can't get pregnant though the male equivalent ((the Incubus)) can impregnate others.

Maybe Marco did die in the desert. This is his purgatory and he's being tested. Just a random thought based on some odd comments Marco said.
I read in the comments those is a redux of a Twilight Zone episode. I don't see it so maybe I'm way off base.
In any case, well done 👏👏
Which episode was it?

@@andresrodriguez3708 One of my favorite episodes- I actually just rewatched it less than a month ago!
Really, really, really good. I wasn't expecting such a great piece out of shorties.
This needs to be a movie. Brilliant.
If this doesn't get award for best short horror movie of 2020 then I'm done with the internet. This was frickin awesome! The dialogues, atmosphere, music, everything.
SPOILER FOLLOWS.
It could have turned out that Bill really could have been the bad one and end it with that, but I loved the real ending little more. Although for some strange reason I would also like ending when he turns around his car to return - in this case the open end would fit well.
17 min gang💪 these films are too good
Damn...that was one of the best shorts I've ever seen on Alter. The acting is incredible!!!
This is one my FAVORITES. Such an amazing concept, should be made into a feature film.
Buddy reminds me of Benecio Del Toro!!! Wow!!! Sounds and talks like him!
Amazing film.
I knew it was her from the start. Dude should've kept going. Notice how we couldn't see if she's pregnant or not and while the man was yelling stopped suddenly like he was cut off and both are gone. plus da story she gave isn't convincing

This was great. The cast and everyone involved did a great job.
This was my favorite short film so far. Phenomenal acting and directing
Subtitles please!!!!! You have a lot of viewer from other countries
you cant expect them to have subtitles for 20 diff languages
@@williamserasinghe9071 I dont expect that. Im not asking for spanish subtitles, im asking for english subtitles.
@@melinaintile2580 yeah even the automatically generated ones in english would help me because it was hard to catch some of what they were saying
You are right!
Subtitles in
Spanish. Please
I can see this being a full movie, three characters and we never truly know who and what's real, all taking place in that cabin.
One of the greats. Acting, costumes, scenery, excellent. Great ending.
What spectacular acting and direction, and everything else. Loved it to bits.
I'm only 7 minutes in ... and I am good and spooked at this.. I'm afraid to un-pause it. ☆ EDIT ☆ Wow, I loved it! I wish it was a full length movie, though. Props to the director and actors. Now I'm off to watch it again.
Let me know when this becomes a full length film. This was amazing!
Wow. One of the best short films I've ever EVER SEEN. ❤️ TRULY LOVED IT!
Excellent story, acting and cinematography. Also perfect length to tell the story it needed to tell.
I LOVE YOU ALTER YESSSS, THANKS FOR THE UPDATE ON THE STATUS OF THIS PROCESS IS TO BE THE CONTIUE LEAVENWORTH
Thanks
Reminds me of the old Twillight zone episode " The Howling man", where the guy who is lost comes in from a wicked storm and is taken in by a kind of monastery. They help him but there's one catch; He is told not to listen to the pleas of what looks like an innocent victim who is in a locked cell. I'm sure you can figure out the rest.
This is by far THE BEST short horror film I have ever seen and I agree with everyone else The Acting was Astonishing This needs to be a real movie! It would make a hell of alot of money!
Great dialogue in the movie, spooky and beautiful scenery, good acting.
There's barley any cut scenes! This is what you call talented acting! 👏
Plot twist : There is only Marco, the other two were his imagination. He went mental stuck outside by himself alone.
This was amazing! The acting was brilliant! I’m sooo sad about the end though. That guy was a fool. Bill story was told beautifully. Great execution.
WOW THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST OF YOUR SHORT MOVIES I'VE SEEN SO FAR
these short films always exceed my expectations
every. single. time.
i love them so much
The acting, the cinematography, pacing, atmosphere, everything was top notch!
I wanted more! :)
Superbly done, I concur with all of the plaudits for the acting and the construction of the film as one long take.
I loved this, great atmosphere, great acting, fantastic director/direction, nice writing, really great job!! Would love to see this made into a full movie or at least some part 2 and a prequel. Impressed me for sure!!♥️💯✌
I love watching alter philippines 🇵🇭
I'm moving to the philippines for my fiance someday. ❤
Why mention that

Mahal Kita! 😁😂😊
I wonder how Marco got to be in the condition he was when he found Bill and his cabin/shack?
It seemed that he had an interesting backstory also. Wish we could have learned more about it.
@@bensweiss agree!
@@bensweiss Marco is actually dead & in purgatory. He was being tested. But shot the guy & freed the demon. Noticed how he didn't stop screaming no & Marco couldn't get back in the car. He's stuck there now. He failed.
I could've gone for another 25 minutes of this. Very well done. I think ALTER & director Robert Singer need to get together and finish this one... That would be awesome!
Nice work ALTER👌
GREAT piece of cinema. some people say it would make a good full-length film. I say leave it the way it is. Damn near Perfect. Congrats to all involved. Well Done.
