This is beautiful in it's brevity. I enjoy a story that leaves me with more questions, much as a sample of food given in a grocery store tastes much better than any other mouthful in the entire package.being peddled. It also reminds me to a small degree of the story by Clive Barker "The Midnight Meat Train" in his Books of Blood--a short story also made into a gory yet decent movie.
You're right. It does have a hint of Midnight Meat Train in it...
I see some comments about this not being "Lovecraft", which I take to mean, not Lovecraftian. No, it isn't based on one of his stories, save tangentially, but it is very much informed by his work and the sorts of ramifications he encouraged others to follow up, were they so inclined. If you look into the history of Lovecraftian fiction, you'll find thousands of such examples. I don't know how familiar those making such comments are with this burgeoning field (and it is indeed an immense one these days, as opposed to what it was when I first discovered his work nearly fifty years ago), but the Derlethian idea of the "Cthulhu Mythos", with its rather strictured format, has long become only a very small portion of work that is Lovecraftian. More and more such work is informed by knowledge of the man, his stories, his philosophy, his essays and letters and poetry... combined with the current writers' own Weltanschauung. This is EXACTLY what Lovecraft promoted when someone wanted to work with his material in any fashion -- for them to take it in their own direction and be true to their own Muse, using it more as a touchstone than a model. I think that is very much what has been done here, and I think it is a job well done indeed.
This is an excellent comment, and i agree with it completely 👍
I agree with the degree of Lovecraft, but this is an episode of NCIS.
I feel like the whole "murdering people to keep them at bay" is a cop-out and it honestly doesn't capture lovecraftian horror the way it was meant to be.
10/10 Best short film

You did an awesome job. I'm glad like so much within the lovecraft's horror you kept the horror lurking in the background not quite manifesting itself.
we are saving the tentacles for the feature film this summer
Yeah, this was definitely Lovecraftian. Great job.
''This,will keep them away ,for another 365 days''
The film's very well executed! Wish it could've been longer as I've got a lot of questions. But well worth viewing...Thanks for the upload, Daniel!
This is honestly really good. I would however say the deep ones wanted to breed so him kidnapping a live woman is more consistent but I still enjoyed this.
Ok, whoever turned the clock just a little bit sideways - damn you! :)
That would be me. Sorry. :P
Though technically, it's the camera that's tilted, not the clock.
"um, actually, it would keep them away for 364 days, because that's how anniversaries work."
Maybe it was a leap year. ;)
"did you just quote youreself? how arrogant :P"
@@enricohocho It is a direct quote, therefore, it should be in quotation marks. But this was 6 months ago, and no one has brought it up except you, so I guess it is technically correct.
@@paulcoy9060 it was a joke you don´t have to be so sensitive karen
@@enricohocho Yeah, I guess telling the truth these days can seem scary to some people.
the movie was shot to beautifully! But I hope there is more...
Great Idea and video!
Haunting
intriguing--cool. do more.
Kind of like "Midnight Meat Train", pretty good.
Reminds me of the actor who played Rocky's son in the movies
Älskar temat, det Skandinaviska vinter ljuset är perfekt för Lovecraftism!
Excellent work.
Pretty cool.
Loved it.
Ha! Nicely done!
It's like an ad or a recruitment film kinda thing for the Esoteric Order of Dagon.
Not a lot of effort in this. I had expected someone to kill him, now that would have been a surprise. At least for him.
oh man i wanted that for this movie. but budget and time did not allow me to include that.
My god, that count...It's easier that way...horror, without blood and gore, just words
Not bad! A fishy hand would have made the ending though... :)
I couldn't agree more! The way it ended maed it look like he was just delusional, but if we had actually seen the monsters it would have mead it so much better.
this is JUST like the other one. The Deep End I think?
Well, that film is a sequel to this one.
vart är det inspelat? ser ut som karlstad :)
Karlstad stämmer bra! :) Specifikt i Viken, samt vid Göteborgsudden (och en snabb bild i Mariebergsskogen).
Or some tentacles. At least some slime......
;)
Interesting film. Absolutely nothing Lovecraftian about it whatsoever . Practically click bait. Unfortunate, because it distracts from a good effort.
This is crap
Just because you use the term "the deep ones" does not make your story in any way Lovecraft!
