The cycle of violence is even perpetuated by the mom toward her little hero. Good short!
some women really enjoy being abused and mistreated! They do all they can to prolong their 'agony'... "if you call the police, your father goes to jail..." "yeah? good!"
U have not idea how much hate i felt in that scene. That type of loser weak pathetic women is the worst
“Just help me move him”.
The 2nd worst thing you can do, after hitting him.
what's the first worst thing to do?
@@MaNuLaToROfficial hitting him.
Dunno about the US but in Germany you don’t earn shiii as a nurse lol
@@vouu205 oh ok thanks
You should never subject your children to abuse. Do the responsible thing to give them a better life. The psychological damage is indelible. There could be a whole host of irreversible things that arise due to domestic violence. In my case I had a father that was abusive and one day, whilst trying to defend my mother we got into a scuffle and he fell, his eyesight was permanently damaged and I have lived with that guilt all my life.
Amy Acker is a PHENOMENAL actress. Any millennials that saw "Angel" growing up will remember that ONE scene 😭
Glad to see she's still slaying!👑
🤓
What scene are you referring to? I tend to see her in that cave,writing on the wall.
@@ensotao1 where she's on the staircase singing and because Lorne can read energy when people sing he immediately turns around and she falls into his arms because she's been taken over by that ancient goddess chick. Kicked me right in the feels 😭😭 me and my husband both cried when she was finally taken over completely.
I recall many awesome Fred scenes!
Not to forget root!
I didn't know they were a family in real life. How cool!
The monsters we help create in our kids when we are in an abusive relationship, never stops haunting them. Its hard, but its best to put an end to such exposure as quickly as we can before they fail to escape and become monsters themselves.
😮
Awww I didn't realise they're a family in real life. What a talented family of actors. I only know Amy from Angel.
Lady was a nurse and stayed in an abusive relationship and subjected her son to psychological helll for "financial reasons"
The implication is what, that it’s unrealistic? Because it really isn’t. Or are you just siding with the antagonist in that she is ultimately to blame?
Happens all the time. Seen it.
Being a nurse or any other occupation has nothing to do with the mental health of a person going through abuse. Abuse can be experienced by any social class
Its awful. So many kids suffer needlessly
This woman is wrong. I got out of my ex husband's alcoholic abusiveness, my daughter was just 3yrs. old. I was the grounded one, independent, responsible, working 10yrs at a company b4 he came along. Wasnt subjecting my daughter or myself to his dysfunctional stuff. Funny, didn't start until 3yrs. married. Basically, a rollercoaster. Got off the rollercoaster.
The mother needs urgent, urgent help! The son may grow up to be psychologically impaired. Thank God there are no other siblings. Domestic violence is absolutely heartbreaking! The victim and perpetrator both are damaged.
The acting was good!
Big fan of sci-fi that allegories present and pressing matters - your film really nails the harrowing, reality-bending act that stopping an abuse cycle can require. One of the other (many) things I really love about the piece is how restrained Jack's performance is while both Amy and James are volcanic - captures something true about living with and within trauma and shows real maturity as an actor. Thanks to everyone involved for such great work!
Amy Acker is so underrated actress❤❤❤
agreed, the first thing I saw her in was in grimm. she played in an episode in season one and she was phenomenal.
Lol. 🤣😂
I love Amy Acker. She was awesome in Angel and Dollhouse!!
In real life she’s married to the guy playing the older version of Jason and they are the mother and father of the younger guy playing Jason
@@TayWoodequindi se ho capito bene nella vita reale Amy Acker è la cognata del ragazzo che interpreta Jason?
Amy è straordinaria ma tutti bravi comunque!
I Love her other Shows Alias, Person of Interest, The Gifted & The Watchful Eye.
.
@@stefanoaccetta4231 no ho capita male. Nella vita reale Amy e il Jason piu Grande (james carpinelli) sono sposati e il Jason giovane (jackson carpinelli) e il loro figlio
Never stay with a abusive partner
AMY ACKER???? LIKE, DEAR SANTA AMY ACKER??? (That aside, fabulous short. I’ve been in a situation similar and it’s incredibly difficult to leave. Even when there is a child involved)
Нет. Надо вызывать полицию и уходить с ребенком
I was in similar situation. Tried to call 911 and he took the phone and threw it across the room and stood between me and the phone. Cops traced the call and came anyway.....and did NOTHING!. Told my husband to spend the night in a hotel or something but he was able to take the house keys with him! I was up all night terrified he'd come back and finish me off. Lesson learned: Cops are useless in domestic disputes. I have since divorced, and am happy and safe.
The sound and acting were phenomenal
I wish this was a full length movie I have been in love with this type of story for 50 years it is the best short I have ever seen. "Somewhere in Time" was one of my favorite movies I cried so hard watching that it made my heart hurt. I wish I could go back in time I know the exact time that I would go back, bec of a mistake that has ruined my life I've been suffering everyday since.
Me too........God bless 😢🙏
Don't feel that way. We all have made mistakes, and we have to learn from them. You can't turn back time. No matter what you have done, you can turn it around for good. God will forgive you. That is the most important thing.
Bahahaha. That early “action” sequence with the kid charging at his Dad/Mums Boyfriend was hilariously bad. The aggression and the takedown, followed by a small blip where he hit his head.
Comedy gold!
She’s gotta b the worst mom out there man. Cuz how u gonna stay with a guy that abuses u and ur kid and then call him and ask where he is and shit😂like come on
I didn't expect the twist , i thought the creepy looking guy was the father i didn't expect it to be the son from the future .
@@gemstar7286 Thanks for the spoiler. I won't bother watching it now.....
@@l.5832 That's on you , don't read the comments then until you have watched it 🤷♀️. The comment section is always full of spoilers.
@@gemstar7286 Did I complain???? You saved me time!
I laughed, i cried i became a part of it… Seriously though I really enjoyed this. Look forward to seeing more from you!
I get it he was there the stalker to try protect the young fella even though you think the opitsite from the abuse he had to enjure
I say got dahm, that escalated fast! It was superb, loved it❤
This was so good! I want to see the full movie please, Ha ha.
I remember the actress from buffy and supernatural.
Good job guys!
I'm just here to Observe
Because it's my name after all.......
I hate "parents" like her that put their abusive partners over their children.
You even got Amy Acker to star in this. 20 years later and she still looks good!
And now I finished the entire thing. This was GOLD! The finger slice instead of the immediate stabbing was the icing on the cake 👌
Masterpiece 😂😂😂
So nice to see Amy again!
Nice. Trying to fix the past does not come without its challenges
Excellent short! Loved the twist! 👏👏👏👍👍
Loved it!
Wow! Amy Acker involved along with a Jonathon Snipes soundtrack. Top quality.
Cheers, I didn´t know the soundtrack was by "someone". I am listening to the outro thinking how good it its.
Ladies the first time he hits you, you PUSH him down the stairs and tell the police he attacked you and fell in the struggle.
Love the fact that you took a real family!
The acting was exceptionally good in this. By all four.
very good！I love the performance of Jason and James!🥰😍
I would love this as a TV series.
It could be where the protagonist was abducted or kidnapped by scientists trying to prevent the apocalypse or something.
There must be a laboratory that allows time travel or something, a group of people.
Maybe the prospect of changing the future became too daring (the multiverse problem) so he said to himself, if there’s one thing I can change it’s getting rid of that abusive man.
Paradoxically he seems in many ways to have become that abusive man.
Maybe the two could time travel to different areas where the kid tries to bring out what little good is left in the adult.
Anyway, I’ve been rambling. Love your stuff.
SUBSCRIBED
That was GREAT!!
great short. good acting
The ending was chilling. Some aspects were silly but over all it was pretty good. Amy looks incredible.
Hey, ya’ll nice short film here. I can tell that it was a real labor of love for you all. I dug the idea of a (possibly) sci fi horror/ thriller. I like to think the Creeper is actually from the future, and not only a manifestation of the son’s trauma. That’s just more fun for me! Anyway, gotta love Amy Acker, what an awesome surprise of casting to have in this unexpected film, she’s stellar!
Well done!
nice work. thanks
Amazing good work❤🎉
Wow, wasn’t expecting that! That sucked me in almost instantly until I realized I’d been watching it for over 5 mins or so captivated.
It just goes to show how much untapped talent there is out there, & maybe being an ‘influencer’ should stand for more than doing a 30sec dance on TikTok
We should be enjoying talent like this, acting, singing, bands etc who have actual talent & passion to offer
Loved it, new Kiwi sub from Aotearoa (NZ) 👍🥝🙂
*gets head slammed into counter*
Mom: HERES SOME CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!
Phenomenal ,y’all are gifted!
Was very unique story, loved it
Not really. Have you not seen looper?
@@ComeStayNZ no.... i didn't
Fantastic - why are we not seeing moore of Amy Acker, she is such a wonderful actor!!! :=8D
Omg that actress is in this!!!! Shes amazing!! Ayeee
2:38 This made me laugh so hard haha. I'm not dogging the film, and I'm sure I couldn't' do better, but it's funny.
This is amazing!! What audio device did you use for the dialogue?
The acting was phenomenal
This was too good 😩 I was on an emotional roller coaster ride for sure. really got me in the end
Great short and great performances, loved it!
Quite intense from the beginning and the tension quickly escalating from there. A superb psychological thriller and short & sweet!
Wow, the mom is an amazing actress! Edit: fantastic short, all round btw and based on the other comments the mom is Amy Acker. She's so good in this. Gonna look up her other stuff
i liked the last scene she did such an amazing job acting in it it looked like a really hard scene
Wow great clip😮
Cabin in the woods was good the other t.v shows listed are also good my father is a big fan of person of interest dont know if its still on but he is a big fan as for this this was a good film thanks for posting hey a family that acts together stays together job well done
You can't sew his finger back on! doesn't mom know about time paradoxes?
Good film.
Really good!
Thank you! Cheers!
This was reeeeally good! It had me captivated and guessing the entire time. I hope to see more from y'all. Very well done.
Thank you!
Just awesome. I like short forms but it's so good that I want to see it 5 times longer! 😀
thats what she said
@@MaNuLaToROfficial 💀
Outstanding Movie! Looper eat your heart out!
I know the actress, I think she did "Cabin in the woods" (am I wrong ??) A.K.A one of the best horror movies EVER made (still waiting for the sequence).
Brave boy!
Highly entertaining! Great job!!
"Lorries" winifred from "Angel" the show about vampires
EXCELENTE CORTO..👍
i havent seen my girl since the Angel days.Loved that show in middle school.
This is a very good short film ❤
Hiiii guys! I was inspired to write one of the unprofessional reviews in the history of CZcams, but please bear with me.
I was sent over here by Jonathan Snipes from clipping. to see this short movie. I do not know Jonathan in any manner except music (he absolutely rocks), and taste (if not all, some things that are interesting for him are definitely interesting for me).
This is a great short debut! This movie has a strikingly awe-inspiring balance between nostalgia and modern. Some of the worse things could be explained by either low budget, or lack of acting experience. However, the great things are outshining the bad ones, the most paramount of them is really strong script.
Production quality only adds up to that nostalgic feeling of watching the not-too-bad-yet-still B movies by being seemingly shot on iPhone or what not:) But even then, I can see the good operator skills.
Okay, at this moment, I have a bad cold and should stop writing this review.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, AND I HOPE TO SEE MORE AND BETTER OF YOU!
P.S.: Now that I've watched the credit roll, I can see why it was reposted by Jonathan :)
Excellent!
Allways been big fan of Amy Acker
Shooting a gun in a bathroom with all the ceramic tiles is a baaaaad idea
Damn that was GOOD!
I like where this was goin. Good show🙂
Is that Elephant Rock?
Omg, it is! I grew up just down the street. We walked there many a day. Wow. Deja Vu ❤
And that was an excellent story. I hope you make more!
Hey, its Fred from Angel!
That was so well done! ❤
His dad hit the guy who was stalking him with his car when coming back home drunk!? That's almost comical lol 🤪😆🤣
Ugh, putting up with an abuser or you will be poor or homeless.
Hell yeah👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Never knock on the door of your Home 🚪🕯️🚪
Damn, this was sick
I would have watched it regardless because Amy Acker is incredible and always has been, so it’s just a bonus that this is as good as it is.
Spoilers

That said it borrows a lot from Looper, which I’m sure borrowed it from somewhere else. The finger delete caught me off guard in a great way though.
Ohhhhhhh,that was good
The word creeper is my friends favorite insult to bad people. Therefore I clicked on this video.😂😂😂
Wow that was a very good one ❤
Way to be a hero Jason…🤦🏽♂️
She played in the series Angel, right?
I LOVE YOU AMY ACKER
Yeah, kind of messed up that a real family would act so abusive toward one another even when…acting.
Jason supposed to die too with the freak cause when he cut finger they both finger cut What the hell😂😂
Not if the future version is killed because it happened further down the timeline… only the past effects future events
Is it just me, or does Jason’s mom look a little young to be his mom?
That's Amy Acker, Jackson Carpinello's (Jason) real mom, and the father, Matt, is played by his real dad, James Carpinello.
No she looks 30
@@steventunleyoh that’s pretty damn cool!
@@steventunleyJames in two role as Matt the father and older Jason
She’s actually about 47 years old here! She just looks good!
14:17 literally terrifying
I hate the movie where there is this 'stupid' MOM with husband like that.
Reminds me of that South Park episode. With Stan and his future self 😁
So the stalker was the brother jesus didnt see it coming
Its Cona MacLeod of the clan Macleod. There can be only one.
ah yes not a single ceramic tile shatters when the dad is shot dead in the bathtub lol
