I can see why this was an award winning film. Beautiful production all around!
Thank you sally
It is time for an HP Lovecraft Renaissance! If I don't get to see Elder Things in an Updated Adaptation of At the Mountain of Madness before I die, I am coming back as a ghost and haunting the hell out of somebody!
Damn right! One of the most under appreciated pieces of SciFi horror ever written. I saw a decent animated italian version here on CZcams many years ago. Philistines! Predators, Aliens and Jedi . Nothing ever new. Nobody reads any more. Kudos to you. Let's haunt them all.
I really like how most of this film seems like it's one continuous, smooth shot. Very skillful on a technical level.
It's good at building tension in a very short time, and just enough happens that the story makes sense, while enough is left unexplained that we're still mystified. Always a plus for cosmic horror.
This is exactly the kind of atmospheric horror we need. Very well done, can't wait to see more!
Thank you
I love how some ppl literally reads "pact with devil" to a ghostly opened door knowing it will be a bad idea.
So simple. So chilling. Excellent film
Wow wow wow. That was pure lovecraftian atmosphere… No words guys… Loved it!!!
Thank you
Well done. I can see why this film won all the awards that it did. The atmosphere of the film was so well developed, and as jaded as I am, the ending still made me jump. 😊
And top-notch acting!
Thanks
Same. Definitely packed in that atmosphere. Really enjoyed this little yarn.
Perfectly done. Couldn't ask for better pacing, atmosphere and acting. Can't wait to see more!
Thank you Steve
Truly beautiful... That aching sense of loss... The autumnal melancholy... That "end of all things" ( or at least YOUR time) feel so perfectly expressed by Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner back when I was young... 1982? 83? So long ago... Now I am an old man and understand it even more. All times end, all men die...
As Edward James Olmos' character says about the replicant played by Sean Young: " Too bad she won't last......... But which of us does!?"
"Hell of hells - Pact with the devil" - what did he expect?:)
Pretty slick for a simple film. Somehow I knew something was going to reach out from the door and grab him. But I was expecting a tentacle.
Well done, and to the point which is Lovecraftian cosmic terrror!!! 😎
Thank you, jay
that was sressful...in a good way ty
With this level of genius, a whole hollywood budget would blow the competition away.
It would come with the entire Hollywood agenda and politics, which would ruin it.
Big budgets don’t mean better
are u drunk, good sir?
A wonderful gem. The cinematography is just insane, and i highly suspect some of the sequences were actually played backward. The actor's performance is sick. For my taste, the masterpiece was extremely close, not showing the antagonist at all would have been way more lovecraftian in my opinion.
why do you use words with incorrect meanings?
@@sensorymats8544maybe it could be because he's not a native English speaker just like me, yeah, hard to think, I know
@@xano2921why do people do this stuff?
Watching this is really rough
Read some creepy book of old
Stuff to make your blood run cold
Do you really want attention
From some horrid. Cursed dimension?
Just put down that book and think
Tentacles that writhe and stink
Enter and their foul attack
Makes of you a tasty snack
Leave your dreams of eldritch power
Knit a sweater, grow a flower.
Read to children visit Paris
Stop reading De Vermis Mysteries.
When faced with a low budget, get creative.
All those awards, justified. This is a hella good short, reminds me of those geniuses who were making films like Nosferatu and Metropolis back in the day. I have a feeling that we're going to see more of this sort of thing coming out of Germany in the future, and I can't wait.
Thank you very much kenny
A genuinely creepy little film, well done.!!!
Thank you Ray
HPL steps out of the Door and asks "Excuse me kind Sir, Is this not Boston?"
Loved it! The camera was amazing, the actor and the ending!!!
The camera work IS the story here.
Extremely well done...want this story to go on.
Thank you tim
Yes! Acting, camerawork, directing, and the sound design! I love the snapping fingers!
Thank you Dale
take a shot every time he dramatically removes his glasses
(this was a cool little film)
Outstanding video 😎👍
Thank you
@@Falko00 You're welcome 🙂👍
The actor was very good. Speech, delivery, tone, cadence. Also has a striking, leading man look to him. Color, camera, lighting looks good too. Obviously a lot of work and care was given to this project. Must give respect to where it's due. That being said I don't see how this received several awards and I'm honestly wondering if whoever produced this simply added that particular graphic? I encourage whoever made this to keep on making features. There's potential there because it's not bad by any means at all.
That was an impressive short
Thank you
Simple and effective. The camera work, lighting and sound is terror inducing. Very good work.
Thank you
This needs much more views and appreciation. Well done, I loved it.
Thank you
Morale of the story: "Play stupid games, win stupid prices."
Very nice cinematography and atmospheric ambience. Keep up the good work.
Excellent!
Thank you
@@Falko00 this was a great composition and beautiful story telling! Best of luck in your future creations.
What a good...good acting and narrative
Thank you
Rood is also the Dutch word for the color red.
THAT WAS AWESOME! 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍
Thank you
A truly heartwarming motion picture for the whole family!😮
Really interesting way to present this with the whole one-shot illusion thing. Good job!
Thank you Crust
Excellent! Ich will mehr!!!
my door does that sometimes.
Fantastic! Thank you making this
Very good acting job but the plot is kinda meh.. the guy obviously knew what he is messing with, so it was weird to see him so scared when he was "caught by surprise"
This was absolutely amazing 🤩
Thank you Terra
Oh, this is good. The soundscape is blisteringly good!
Thank you Michael
Phenomenal cinematography.
Thank you
I love how you crafted this. I AM IN LOVE...craft.
the old choke-hold routine. I mean.. how does he not pull back from that instead of trying to jerk the demon into his world by the arm? I would not have grabbed that arm. Just step back and you're free. Nice buildup to that tho.
Oh my god this is amazing! Subscribed!
I imagine the whole crew, consists of 3-4 peoples max.
Wonderful!!!!
Amazing and well-crafted!
Thank´s Dennis
Awesome !
Wow you chose a great setting to film this in!
Welldone
This soo need to be the beginning scene of a feature
A bloody hand? That's your big finish?
Are you supposed to chuckle with relief at the ending, or did I misinterpret the deeper meaning?
Congratulations..intense, beautiful and creative
Great film!
Congratulations!
Thank you Jomo
Stellar camera work.
Thank you Aaron
the actor taking his sunglasses on and off was cracking me up, but it was very well made.
Damn the time went fast. Just when I was wanting more. But alas it was perfect in everything.
Fantastic Lovecraftian film!! You did an awesome job #SkyroadFilms
Thank you Keilan
Excellent !!
I really enjoyed this .
Thank you
Spine tingling. Great Work!!!!!
Thank you
This seems very reliant on sound effects to add drama and tension to situations that lack them. Such effects ought to reinforce horror rather than be solely responsible for them.
So i am asking myself thing. Is there a single "Horror Short Film" to not win an award?
All these gushing compliments seemed manufactured. This short film was not The Shining or The Others. C'mon guys.
I know a short film that has won "over 18 awards". Now marvel at what the exact number might be!
The guy is really smart, cool voice!
Very Good love the atmosphere
This was AWESOME!!!!
Lovecrafian through and through who needs 2 hours to build dread when 2 minutes can do it
Thank you
I enjoyed this. Makes me want more. Great job. 👍🏾
Thank you Joseph
Great and genius...so simple but swesome
I was hoping for tentacles.
These Occultists never learn do they?
They all go barmy or get " taken" in the end. Ha! HPL warned ya!
Excellent atmosphereric Lovecraftian film.
Thank you
Really well done! I think I sense a touch of Lynch and Badalamenti, which is fine by me.
Thank you
Really well done!
I really liked this, nice. 👍🏽
Sweet. Simple. Effective.
Klasse.Sehr gut gemacht und sehr unheimlich.
Überragender Kurzfilm
Wow… I’m hooked now
This is REALLY good.
NIce. I loved the actor's voice. It was perfect.
Does anyone know who the music is by at the end credits?
Well what did he think was going to happen?!
This film was made by Fail Army
Amazing... horrifying.. shocking...
Loved it.
This was great.
Super beau montage de qualité.
Spooky.
well done!
Brilliant.
Thank´s Phil
Great video!
Captivating supernatural legend. Reminds me of the style of E.A. Poe.
Thank you James
Congratulations, this production is amazing, very well done scenes and atmosphere!

Thank you
Door needs replacing
