    One thing I’ve learned watching Short Horror Films that deal with antique stores or second hand stores is-
    NEVER BUY ANYTHING THERE!
    You’ll end up bringing home something you don’t want. 🤣🤣🤣

  • @alegend2337
    @alegend2337 Před rokem +86

    So, my assumption is based solely on the ending is that the demonic chair entity possessed the guy and he killed his wife and himself, now it passed to this alone woman and used their ghosts to haunt her/possess her into killing herself on the chair and cycle may continue onto next chair buying victim? Loved this, and honestly appreciated the scary demonic ending and not just ending on her getting killed, rather possessed. The pacing and timing on the scares was great too! The dead wife beckoning from the closet REALLY got me. Those kind of almost "absurd" interjections to a heavy jump scare can be so good!

    @DarkHorseDanny Před rokem +159

    It irritates me that short films like these are undervalued! The cinematography is incredible, as is the acting, sound design, music, and lighting; everything about it is of the highest calibre, and I am pleased to be a new subscriber. This short film is superior to most horror films available on streaming platforms or in theatres. There are no cheap jump scares here, only true atmospheric terror. These are the kinds of short films I wish I had shot and been a part of while studying Film Production at university. My only criticism would be the finale, which left me perplexed by what I think to be the story's philosophical message. As to what the message entails, I am unsure.

      It's an attachment. If it's still attached to the chair, she'll be fine once she's rid of it and does a cleansing of herself and surroundings. If the entity decided to attach itself to her instead, she's screwed no matter where she goes😉.

      What flabbergasted me was that (1.)
      she didn't wipe it down and/or treat the wood (2.) that she bought this early-ish American Oak , complete with handcarving on the headrest area, and then stuck a throw over it so that what's charming about this 'newly-homed' piece isn't visible!
      If she was going to do that, even a kitchen chair would have done as well! But then, I expect that this chair is a necessary 'plot device' & therefore needed! #Now I will go ahead and see what happens now that this chair is inside her house!

    My brother lives in an old farmhouse (Australia) where a mother and daughter went missing (the husband/stepfather has taken off and for many obvious reasons, we all know he definitely murdered them. He ran a cult and was not a nice person at all). Their belongings are locked away in a bedroom seeing as they left everything behind. Plus he collects antiques. His cats are always reacting to unseen things and fleeting shadows that don't make sense are seen very often. Mum was staying there for a while and experienced a lot of weird phenomena. She saw, what she thought was, my brother walk down the hall but not even 30 secs later he walks out of a room up the other end of the hall. There's ZERO chance of him walking back passed without being seen plus he was wearing completely different clothes than what mum just saw him in. A LOT of unexplained and bizarre shit happens there.
    If you're going to buy antiques and take them home, do a proper and thorough cleansing with sage while leaving all doors/windows open. Even if you're a non believer, it's best to play it safe.
    Edit- Excellent short. Very impressive👌🏻.

    I love watching horror movies and my fiancee and I started watching short horror films on here since we usually don't have a lot of time due to a busy schedule. We are not easily scared.... but this one made my anxiety spike when the chair was at the bedroom door. Chefs kiss to this one. This one and Miner's Mountain are my favorites so far.
