Amazing! Great acting and even scarier monster. I was blown away 🤯.
After reading a bit, I think I understand. As a previous comment has detailed, the room 9 signifies this is the 9th level of Inferno, which is where people who have betrayed someone go. The demon is her personal demon that terrifies her, as it is literally created to trigger every fear she has ever had. I think she killed someone who trusted her, and I think she did so by suffocating the person from behind with a plastic bag behind the drivers seat of the car. I think this because the demon made the motions as if doing so in the car, playing with her fears, trying to make her feel the terror her victim felt. She is trapped for eternity inside this personal hell. The short film is an interpretation of Dante's Inferno, but with the added layer of greek hell. In normal Dante's Inferno hell, the ninth level is a giant frozen lake, and that is the same for everyone. However, in greek mythology each hell is made personally for that person. Plus the minotaur being a greek myth.
I like that interpretation. I was already feeling like the monster looked a bit... like her in some shots? In some scenes, especially during the first few flashes in the beginning, I really got the feeling of "this is showing us the monster but its her" in a way. Feels hard to explain in hindsight.
Her room in the beginning also had me wondering if someone was lying dead on her bed, especially when she tossed the bottle and we got a brief shot. Of course, its all speculation but I felt like there was a very deep, creative thought-process behind the visuals in this short and reading this gave me a bit more clarity on it!
@@Eismutter Thanks! Also, I can't believe I wrote this almost a year ago. Feels like yesterday. Seriously made me do a double take.
Hey, sorry about Black Mesa.
I found it cliche (running and falling in the hallway to stepping on the obvious glass, etc;).. but honestly reading your synopsis, I find your take on this 100% more entertaining and way better than what I was watching ..
@@Eismutter The demon is visible from pretty up close at 6:13 standing aboe her, but only for a small fraction of a second. I had to crank the speed down to 0.25x from 6:12, then unpause/repause in very small increments to catch a good look.
Around 6:19, you get a worse-lit but much longer look as the demon leans in to blow out her lighter. Its face is not recognizably human, nor its body resemblant of a human female. It has horns like a ram, looks covered in blood, and has a humanoid shape that appears genderless. Its face is a mess of teeth and sharp angles.
Brilliant and she acted so well. I am just binge watching ALTER.
DO NOT BINGE WATCH. Because you may not be able to stop. 😀😀
She's amazing, isn't she?! Sounds like you've been ALTERed ;) . Thanks for watching!
Me and my girlfriend have been doing the same. Alter is sooooo good.
😘😘
Watch goodbye by alter that freaks me rite out btw like honestly 😂
Incredible display of horror filmmaking fundamentals. The Chekhov’s gun with the broken glass, the monster walking past in the background while out of focus, the foreshadowing with the lighter, all outstandingly well done.
Bishal is such a great storyteller. It's a beautifully crafted horror narrative! Glad you enjoyed it just as much as we did. Thanks for watching!
Did she shoot her left leg, because when she got out of the car she was limping?
😗😗
That was amazing. The main character actually made smart moves and acted realistically, yet the creators were still able to make it full of tension. Great job
You mean the protagonist(s) in horror movies don’t always have to act like high school dropouts? 😁
This Actress had what i call The Sigourney Weaver .. ..when she was in the car .. and it was just her eye movements .. that made the entire scene Work .. she is Going to be or is .. i have not googled her other work yet .. Outstanding Short Film .. every Scene ..every camera Angle .. fantastically edited .. a master class in what To do to make a scary , nerve racking ..edge of your seat .. horror scene ..easily top ten things i have watched this year
Smart moves? She leaves the room for no good reason by backing out of it, she's barefoot, left ammo on the floor of the room, didn't check the back of the car before getting in, she didn't immediately get out when she could've, she runs into the room she KNOWS has shattered glass on the floor, then fails around to the point of losing her only light source and instead of hiding in the dark, she flickers the lighter like a beacon to the monster.
@@lexiwexiwoo It was pretty smart given the circumstances and quite realistic. She leaves the room to escape the motel she's been trapped in with no water, and she would die anyway if she stayed. Who checks the back of the car for monsters? She is in shock and the glasses on the floor would be the last thing on her mind. It's all realistic to me, except for the monsters pranking their victims by hiding instead of running towards the victim.
it sucked
In greek mythology inferno described as a recognition and rejection of sin. As mythology says that hell is devided in nine concentric circles where each circle is a place of punishment for different kind of sin a person committed on earth. In film the room girl enter is number nine which is described as ninth concentric circle. In ninth concentric circle punishment for treachery is given which concludes that may be girl has betrayed a person who trusts her. As a result she is punished for her sin. This was my interpretation so far.
Like if you like it.
Loved your explanation.Have you read Dante’s “Comedia Divina”?
This was so good that who cares about any interpretation?! haha! I found your definition of inferno really interesting and the information about the number nine added more depth to this amazing video!! Thank you for posting that!
@@emis8755 No but have a little knowledge of it.
@@neverthesame7887 u r welcome my friend.
It sounds like you're right. This definitely looks like purgatory.
This 6 minutes film is 1000 times better than 3 hours full Hollywood movie
Iw this stullg real
That was amazing to be honest. The end scene with the flickering lighter was GENIUS
creature advance by way of flickering light is a trope. a decent one... but a trope nonetheless
🙆🙆
The GLASS. I was so on edge.
The glass is something we still think about everyday... a lingering nightmarish image!!
💆💆
Yes.. 😬.!!x!! It reminded me of Bruce Willis in Die Hard when he step on the glass and then he pulled it out..😖OmG..
Dreadful and scary! Cinematography and the acting is superb and top notch for this short film. Class act!
Yess
I think she killed herself and is now stuck in a hellish time loop. The dead body is her, the gun is the weapon she used, and the demon is her personal tormentor.
Super interesting idea!
💏💏
The demon face has an hole on the front indeed. Yes I think you may be right
@@obendelaurencig7706 oh shit I didn't even notice that
Agreed! After all, it is said that Hell is repetition
The tension and fear made me forget to breathe. Truly terrifying!
This was so well done --it had me on the edge from the very beginning. The video starts right in the middle---excellent--and the actress is amazingly talented!!! That monster was absolute nightmare fuel, especially with the horns and the twisted spine. One of the best Alter films to date, imo.
We appreciate a good gnarly monster. Definitely a creature of nightmares!
😂😂
It never ceases to amaze me that these filmmakers with a budget a 100th the size of a Hollywood picture can make films so much better than their big name counterparts. Also the actors are almost always amazing. Thanks Alter.
That's often because horror movies have a goal in mind to do a lot more than scare or chill its audience, instead give a wide range of emotions throughout the whole movie due to such a long runtime.
Alguém mais veio pelo refúgio cult
Eu mesma :D
sim. filme fraquinho mas valeu a intenção
eu mesmo odiando filme de terror
Também. Achei o filme fraquinho porque não consegui me assustar e essa é a graça desse tipo de filme mas é um suspense razoável.
Eu 😁😁
She is trying to escape from something, observe how she is being so cautious, waiting and being quiet, until something to passes so she can escape, though it seems she wasn't clever enough.
Takes a great actor/ actress to have no dialog & go back in time to the days of silent films to have that ability to emote & in this case fear & denial which she does perfectly . Great eye contact & her subtle gasps all go together to drag us along for a fright filled journey . Very well done & again we are left to answer or draw our own conclusions . Whether or not she commited a crime & now must pay the price or whatever we choose i though this a great short.
I love when no words are spoken...
intense and suspenseful! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Why is it that some of these ALTER shorts make more effort and have better plot lines using minimal actors/actresses than todays biggest budget Scary/Horror Movies?
Bishal dutta means he is an Indian plus he is from Bengali origin! And i am too! Never been more proud of my origins! Go Bishal!! 😊😊 make us more proud! Brilliant cinematography and brilliant acting! Was thrilled and on the edge the whole time! A well done job!! Kudos man
Wow. All I can say. Wow. This is an incredible all round filmmaking talent right here....bravo. Also, Alter, you making this a feature or what?!? This is DESTINED for it!!! DO ITTTTTTT!!!!
Yet another banger of a short!! Suspenseful and intense! The actress did an amazing job of portraying her fear, not a single word spoken..now that is acting!!
I'm left with so many questions, but that's fun as well...would love to see this as a series or a feature length film!
Do expletives and "come on!" Or "no!" Still count?
now this is what i called ''pure horror"! what an execution! great direction, great writing, great cinematography, even the lighting is also great, great editing, great sound design, great sfx... and above all that, what a performance by the actress...tremendous amount of naturalism is on her acting, even on a fantasy script. just steals the show, man. kudos to the whole team... would love to see BTS of the film.
Wowzer, the camera movement in this is fuckin' trasfigural. It literally IS the film. I'm not sure where I just went for 7 minutes, but I'm sweating , probably smell like gunpowder and I think there might be some glass stick in my toes. GREAT WORK!
This film is incredibly well crafted! It blew us away overall. Our hearts might have stopped once or twice while viewing it the first time. Glad it was as effective for you! Thanks for watching.
@@WatchALTER shoot, Alter became my place of worship long ago!
😌😌
When she stepped on broken glass and she was backing up, she made a smart move to close the door. I think this one was my favorite horror film ever like fr this one is a good one
Not going to lie, I really wanted the demon to just say, “Boo,” really quietly.
thats too corny even for hollywood
A SCARY MOVIE/FILM WITH AN MC THAT HAS COMMON SENSE?! I never thought the day would ever come. It's beautiful.😭
Congratulations, this short is better than most modern horror films.
I also liked that you chose the 2:1 ratio, which I consider the image format that manages to focus on both the characters and environments in equal measure.
Refúgio Cult me trouxe aqui!!! 👊

I absolutely love when films don’t rely on jump-scares. This was great and the effects were top notch!
At first I thought this was a Wendigo, but then i found out an “inferno” is something else. Good job
Shelly Duvall starring in “Alien Motel”
Where nobody can hear you Pay the Bill !!!
Such a simple premise, yet the execution was PHENOMENAL. There was no time wasted building tension, it just set the viewer smack dab in the middle of it all. What a fantastic short!
I kept thinking "RELOAD, RELOAD!" Job well done!
BRAVO!! The anxiety was pleasurably excruciating!! Excellent use of 6min!!! I can't wait to see what you'll do with 90min in the upcoming feature!!!!! I would wish you luck, but there's too much talent for that!!!! BRAVO!!
Bishal's feature actually isn't connected to this short, BUT we do wish to see this world expanded upon. Be sure to check out his website and Twitter to keep up with his work!

This film is really engaging even though it has minimal dialogue. It would be interesting to know more about the main characters story, how she got to that hotel & why the monster is chasing her specifically. The tension is good & the sound design is excellent. 👍🏾
This was incredible. Beautifully written and acted. And not once did it use cheap jumpscares, or muscial stings to shock us.
Taylor Cloyes is fantasic! The photography is also amazing, and the sound design. But it wouldn't work without Taylor's performance. She nailed it.
Whoever handled lighting knew what they were doing!! Expertly done scene all around! Kudos to Ms. Cloyes for her portrayal.
These are so well made, it’s incredible that they’re free to watch.
Me coming back from a party on Friday night, "hi honey I'm home" :o)
Saw this at Nightmares Film Festival last year - absolutely brilliant! Where's the feature film of this already???
This is like an ending of a full movie. Thank for making your audience thirst for more.
This was a great example of taking ideas and making them work. Bishal Dutta as writer and director had a handle on these ideas and a great film is the result.
The lead character wakes up and something horrific has happened. So the character and viewer starts off quickly in chaos and fear. A woman wakes up in a very serious and potentially dangerous situation. At this point as a viewer I was not not sure if she was in an amnesia/ memory loss situation. Watching the whole thing has now led me to believe that she was aware all along. But for a moment the memory loss thing was a possibility.
At this point, the girl is more aware of her situation and environment and makes solid decisions. She has a gun, is looking all around, and she has enough wherewithal to not step barefoot on broken glass.
The car scene is where the story amps up. We have a very well filmed confrontation and our character is faced with fight, fight, or freeze. These are reaction responses that we can't always plan on.
Now her awareness has gone down as fear and survival are now on overdrive. Decisions now lead us to the end.
Tbe lighting worked for the story. There was also some nice camera work particularly on the sidewalk outside the rooms.
Feet and glass. Ouch Ouch and Ouch.
The lead actress Taylor Cloyes was fantastic. It is hard to pull off an essentially solo performance. She did. It is even harder to play a no dialougue role. Her use of body language was excellent and really carried the film. High Five Taylor.
I greatly enjoyed this film and Congratulations to all involved.
Peace
Never fail to impress! Alter. Thank you 🙏
I'm just glad to know that my very own Indian people CAN STILL MAKE SUCH AMAZING HORROR FILMS whereas bollywood is stuck with women wearing white sarees singing sad/love songs. Absolutely in love with this. (well, does it sound weird that I'm in love with, eh...a horror film? Okay nevermind.)
This is genuinely one of the best horror shorts I've ever seen (and believe me, I've watched a lot of those). Absolutely fantastic in every aspect! Congrats!!
Woo! Alter binge watching
The best channel for short horror movies.
The demon is visible in profile for a small fraction of a second at 6:13. I set the timer to 6:12, and the speed to 0.25x, then unpaused/repaused in very small increments to catch a look. That's a pretty scary looking demon! Somebody worked hard to make them so intimidating, all so we would catch tiny glances of them in bad light.
Outstanding! Taylor Cloyes is amazing! She conveyed terror like I have not seen in any recent films. Terrifying story. This is truly an excellent film and what nightmares are made of!
Alter is definitely one of my favs to watch as far as horror. Genius!
Thanks for watching and staying ALTERed with us!
😊😊
Thx guys for the love
They are ALWAYS sitting in the backseat of the car.
Excellent! Brilliant! The broken glass! Terrifying!
Wow. Actress did a great job. It's always fun to get pulled into a film. I was definitely on the edge of my seat.This short did should be longer.
The lighting is just, chef kiss
I like the strobe light effect with the lighter at the end...well done.
An outstanding short from an amazing director! Can’t wait to see more from Bishal Dutta.
This is still hands down best short on Alter right now.
She is so good and expressive!
What a performance!!
Who love ALTER? , I LOVE ALTER ❤
Remember this line when killing monsters: You should aim for the head
Thanos: Decapitated
WOW!!! I absolutely loved it!! It was soo intense!!! This guy bishel you mentioned down below Alter is amazing !!!! Thanks soo much for sharing!! 👻👹📹😷😇☺😃
He's great! Can't wait to see what you does next. His feature looks amazing! We're so happy to have collaborated with him.
This is amazing... all the tensions...wow. Her acting is so good.
extensively well made! truly in its genre... this is when you want the main character to survive....
I've been binge watching Alter and I got to say this is one of the best ones yet. Keep up the amazing work.
My theory about this horror short film is that the women got trapped by this demon into its nightmarish realm that mimics the real world.
So good! The acting and cinematography was stellar.
The actress is phenomenon! And the quality of this short, damn, it could have been the feature movie!!! Excellent.
There was a moment when I expected the Cenobites to show up.. girls got a real problem with lightbulbs.. well done 👍
That 6 minutes was better than a million-dollar Hollywood film. Think about what ALTER could do with a million dollars.
The girl reminds me that i was running with my school report card and my mom chasing me like hell noooo!!!!!!!!😆😆
This actor is AMAZING. I felt like I was beside her the entire time!
I love Alter. Good camera work, good acting and good stories. Plus they scare me which is kinda rare for a film or movie
am i early? it seems good already even though i haven't even watched the whole thing yet !
That was pure terror. She has done a really good job.🎉🎉
so love a fighter ,great acting ,set , story , you dont get this type of quality in a lot of main stream film , great job
So far, the best I've seen.
Her acting is so good, as amazing as always Alter! 👏🖤
excellent. very tense. didn't want it to end. why can't hollywood make full length movies this good?
Another amazing one, never been disappointed with an alter video and I say that honestly
This was superb in all categories! Bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wow, so good guys!! That demon design was just perfect!
Some of the best acting I've seen in a horror short!
I couldn't even move. I don't wanted to miss any single frame. Great movie 😊
*Fantastic!! The surprising ending revealing the very monstrous and scary demon!! Very good my friends!! Congratulations on this excellent short film and greetings from Brazil, Alter!!! 😀😀😀😀👍👍👍👏👏👏👊👊👊😎😎😎😎✌✌✌✌✌😊🙏🙏🙏🙏[^J^]*
This is the state of which I live, but also the state I accept. I do not fear. The Lord is my shepherd.
Totally brilliant. You entertained me more in under 10 minutes, than all the marvel films added together. Bravo.
Man, that kept me on the edge of my seat. Excellent monster make-up, so realistic.
Less than 1 minute to sympathize with the character, this is quality acting.
I waited a long time for it . Cheers to the team of alter for sharing such an iconic masterpiece with us🥂🥂🥂
The atmosphere of this film feels like “May the devil take you” film
1. Почему с ружьем, но без обуви?
2. Почему мусор из битого стекла на полу?
3. Почему не проверила задний ряд сидений в машине?
4. Почему хромала выйдя из машины?
I love when a movie comes in on the action!
That insane work and taking a lot of time. Awesome work
Kept me on the edge of my seat and looking over my shoulder 😨😳 Great film
Others are hit or miss but ALTER never disappoints.
Broken glass on the floor while barefoot... Truely threatening!!
Wow!! AMAZING!! One of the best I’ve ever seen!! 👏 👏
