These damn short films are addicting. I keep telling myself "Just one more..." That was 15 or so "one more".
Saaame!!!
Going down this path as well.
ME TOO
Yeah I said that at 6pm it's 1:20 in the morning now and I have work soon.
True
That kid voice on a grown man is BEYOND ERRIE!!!
And the child with the deep voice was unsettling.
Literal definition of manchild
No. The child with the adult voice was more disturbing.
Haven't even hit play and I know this is gonna fuck me up
*eerie*, not 'errie' 😂
Imagine these two guys in the afterlife having an awkward conversation and realizing that they're both innocent and killed each other for nothing.
How they were innocent?
How were they guilty?? @fax_spitter
@@christibarrick1768 both are guilty, the old guy literally ki11ed him, the journo illegally tried to record and report...
@@fax_spitterloud and wrong.
If only he'd thought to call emergency services for help instead of twittering.
I wonder when the first twittering while suiciding from a great height will occur followed by a postmortem selfie. Sorry, I've got death on my mind after mopping up pink goo this morning from where a watermelon leapt to its demise from the kitchen counter. We had only just met yesterday so I don't know why he did it but I hope he found peace.
I think it was to reflect the narcissist personality of the journalist. During his death, the only thing he could think and act on was about how to make his death justified to the world, making people believe the old man was a pedofile while he clearly realized he wasn't
He did that because that's what he was actually after all this time. Become popular in the internet.
@@karlharvymarx2650 There's already a video out there of someone who live-streamed himself or something like that, while committing suicide by jumping off a building.
Pretty bad camerawork after the jump, but I guess that's understandable.
If you want to see it, you just have to google the name of that guy (Brian Velasc).
He was seemingly kind of famous, because he was the drummer of a band called "Razorback".
@@karlharvymarx2650 Things like that aren't really new. There have been a lot of people recording their suicides on video since the 90's. When I was a kid back then, one of the neighbour's boys shot himself on video right after talking about a few things that seemed to be the reason for his decision. His dad immediately called my dad, who was a police officer and former combat medic, but this boy knew what he was doing. There was no chance in hell of saving him. His family wasn't able to watch the video afterwards and asked my dad if he could take care of it till they are ready to do so. My dad keeps it in his attic to this day. I don't think that anyone else but him has watched it during all this years.
I really like this. in the end, he was just thirsting for attention and fame, rather than actually “making the world a better place”. I really like that ending. it was expected, but still amazing.
Can you want both? Leave a positivelegacy?
he was just a selfish human being like many people in this times. Sadly true :(
Both of them are good guys the journalist tried to gather evidence to apprehended the pedo while the old man planning to kill the pedo the real pedo is still out there and he is alive
Choi chun sing
Jhunyor Monttez unfortunately
You've gotta admit... The scenery of the forest is truly marvellous
that’s all you are thinking of during this
spoken like a true photographer
It couldn’t have been better
@@Sahnie-E lol yes😂
The woods are beautiful, intill your all alone in them.
Funny. Everyone is talking about how awesome it is that these two were both trying to achieve the same result, and all I can think about is how this should be viewed as a cautionary tale of getting caught up in a witch hunt. Good movie. Nicely executed. Great story.
Huh? Haven't seen a single comment so far about "oh, both have the same goal, how awesome".
If their main point was keeping children safe they'd have alarmed the police first. If that doesn't work, they could still have wandered off into the woods. And when you've got the choice between calling for help and tweeting about the possibility of your heroic demise ... yeah, no, that's goal no. 3 - "get famous!!!".
This was perfection in its execution. From script to stage, every scene elevated the scene before and after it. A truly marvelous work of film. I give top marks to Mr. C. A. Wallace and his team. Excellent job everyone. Most excellent indeed.
From the best short movies ever made, I wish if it was longer than 31 minutes! Yeah karl davies movies are always interesting
Am I the only one who got a Black Mirror vibe from this short??
nope, same here. The writer could have sold the script to them, I bet they would have jumped on it in a heart beat, they would have to figure out some way to make it more futuristic though.
Was just gonna comment that👍
Love Black Mirror.
Was thinking the same thing
Funny you should say that, I noticed that his ringtone at the end is the tune of the beginning of that one song thats on every black mirror episode "but anyone, who knows what love is, will understand".
How great would it have been if Chris Hansen and a camera man popped out from behind a tree.. "Hey guys I'm Chris Hansen, how about you two having a seat for me and let's begin by discussing what's in the bags?"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... YES!!! 🤣
😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Lol ty man I needed a good laugh
that would have been classic
This needs to be an episode of black mirror but that is an understatement, I've never been so captivated by a short film ever this may be the best one I have ever seen. I was truly entangled in the plot and it left me with the feeling I love as a film finatic. This was absolutely amazing 10/10
Yes, VERY black mirror!
Absolutely agree!!!!
Black mirror all the way!!!!!❤️
Wasn’t that ring tone tied to black mirror??
May we PLEASE give props to Mr. Paul O’Callachan ( please forgive me because I know spelt that wrong, so someone correct me ) for the ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL THE PHOTOGRAPHY IS!?! I truly love this film for the acting and the plot of the short film, but I believe that the Cinematography pulls it all together! I feel like the cinematography in films go completely unnoticed and people don’t care, but I really need to give this man a pat on the back and a gold star for this one! So if this guy ever sees my comment, and I doubt that he will, then keep up the good work sir and hard work NEVER goes unnoticed good sir!
Mia’s Corner! Thank you for your very thoughtful comment on Paul’s wonderful work on this film. I completely agree with you, and will pass on your comment :)
@@cosmowallace This is such a great concept that you should sell this idea to bigger studio or do a full movie!!
Anti-paedophile vs anti-paedophile. wow. respect this genuine idea.
@@user-lo9wl2je3i no he wasn't.
/b/ no
@@user-lo9wl2je3i no, dear, he was a journalist and was reporting on children who meet strangers on the internet. He just happened to come across something much more sinister.
@@user-lo9wl2je3i I'm not sure that you paid attention to this short film. Lol. The first man was a journalist who was aware that there was a local pedophile. He pretended to be a child online, and went to met who he thought was the pedophile, in order to have the pervert arrested. He was gathering evidence and frequently updating the occurrences.
The old man was another citizen that knew of the local pedophile. He chatted with the first man online, mistakenly believing him to be the pedophile, because he had posed as a child to lure the pedo out.
They both posed as children when talking to each other, believing that the other was the pedo.
More like anti-opportunist journo hack vs. anti-crazed vigilante still not a completely played out "so we were both trying to be the good guys" trope i guess.
This channel has the best short films people are seriously missing out.
Screamfest Oh i am !!
Right? I stumbled across it the other day, and these are some of the best short films I've seen in ages!
i only see crypt's channel when i search for these, that's really annoying
TheLittle OneSana check out crypt.tv
styxlik because they're lit
the setting of this is really beautiful
That PREDATOR sounds is a seriously creepy touch. 😮
Holy cow! Cautionary tale about " don't take matters into your own hands!" That was really good. It just goes to show, you don't have to have a $50,000,000 budget to make a good movie!
Oh I thought you meant, that you shouldn't take the police's work into your own hands 😅
Don't think that was the message at all.. you watched and took something you already had in your mind. This is a message noting close to what you got. Watch it again and open your perspective.
Agreed , just look at crap like “Lords of Chaos.” The violence/injuries just looked silly in that
You do realise they don't really spend all that money on the movies right. Movies are a great money laundering scheme.
You aren't a good person. Matters need to be taken into our own hands. There are buildings near me that house pedophiles, a good person would burn it to the ground or kidnap those leaving and entering to be cut up and dumped.
I don't believe this is a horror short but an excellent thriller. The clash between the old and the new here is so real. A real commentary of each character's values without judgment. I love it.
Wow. Not a dull moment. Dialog: believable. Actors: spotless, every one of them. Cinematography: beautiful (not just the forest - all of it). Makeup/prosthetics: top-notch. Audio: (I'm an Audio guy) Fantastic.
This was a true demonstration of high-quality production work. Well done, all! :)
This is one of the best short stories I have ever seen. From the acting to the scenery to the story set up, it had me on the edge like a 2 hour movie. I wish it had gone on longer it was so well written and executed. BRAVO!
The dangers and horrors of vigilante justice. And the fact that you can nab the innocents too. :(
If you seek revenge, first dig two graves
Pak De Always love that saying. That was Confucius right?
Worth it.
Innocents? Aka - the guy who wants to burn someone to death with gasoline because they’re “a pedophile” wow, innocent person right there.
Yeah this film was obviously made by someone very anti vigilante. It gives clear signs its very much against mob justice, for example the online comment he got saying "Do me a favour and STAB that POS one more time for me".
This is by far one of the best shorts iv watched, it should be a full blown movie. Excellent story and very creepy in many ways. Well done!
GG
I totally agree... must be made into a full movie. Not only that it's a great concept, but will help spread an imperative and substantial message to the enormous amount of audience that doesn't fancy short films.
You never saw Hard Candy?
Yup...and loved it! Could watch it again. Tortured is another good one...lemme know if you have any others in mind, with the same concept.
Nah, 30 minutes was plenty. Black Mirror did it better.
From the best short movies ever made, I wish if it was longer than 31 minutes! Yeah karl davies movies are always interesting
Where was this filmed? Those woods are beautiful, no undergrowth to stumble on, endless straight paths.
It looks like Sherwood Forest in England. Beautiful place.
Meanwhile Canon is sitting back crossing their arms and going "Oh look, looooots of free marketing" lol
These dudes must be meta humans, out here surviving wounds that no human could ever survive past 5 minutes
Right?! Dude has his throat slit and stabbed in the stomach a good 4-5 times but somehow had the energy to stand up and beat the old man up and talk normally albeit with a little effort?!
This happens in 90% of the movies, so I'm not very surprised
Wow I am blown away by how twisted that really was, it's the first vigilante movie that begs the questions that this movie did. Great flick and if done right could be a feature film, delving into the journalist's backstory would be the majority of it but I feel it could be done!
Absolutely brilliant. The idea, the filming, very little script was all it needed, everything was brilliant.
Watching this all I can think is damn those are some expensive cameras to be leaving out in the damp woods.
Fellow INTP? LOL
Right lmao
Holy shit. Wow that is an amazing concept. I never thought of that. 2 dudes both pretending to be children to basically catfish the other one so it’s basically they’re word against each other...I wonder if that’s actually happened before.
PiNk_LuNcHbOx 69 exactly
Makes ya rethink any vigilante thoughts of ya own.
Not quite but remember the undercover cops pretending to be dealers busted some other undercover cops pretending to be buyers? Lol dimbasses!
Its just like that Spiderman meme pointing at each other
what I don't get is why either of them assumed the other person was an adult when they both said they were 8 and 9 respectively. There would have been no indication that the person they were talking to was anything other than a kid telling the truth.
The victor writes the history of a war.
Kris Clay➡ Hear Hear!
In this case, one of the last shots suggests the camera footage will write the true history.
TheMontoya76 ➡Actually, that does make the most sense, doesn't it? 👍
One I of the best comments... EVar...
Kris Clay
Well thought out comment...
One of the best...
The protagonist was written with surprising depth, love it
I cannot believe how clear and well the shots are. The slower shots throughout are amazing, I found it pulled me into the story more while still enjoying the visuals. Well done! :)
Left me questioning who was the hunter and who was the prey.Very well done.
"The best laid plans of mice and men.. " Wow. I subscribed, these short films have a lesson and a gut punch not found in major films. Excellent film quality & production! Thank You!
If you've ever had to sit through nearly two hours of a film to get to a good ending like this ; Then you can really appreciate the succinct story telling in this short film to get to the same conclusion.
This is mind-blowingly good!!! The chase for clout vs the chase for justice.
😍😍
This was a damn good film. Whoever did the location scouting and the cinematography... you're effing amazing!
I could be wrong but that scene with the old man as a child he was looking pretty beat up
I think the old man may have been abused as a child
Maybe
That's kinda the point yeah. He's lashing out at the kind of people who tormented him.
This is a masterpiece. I was pretty much hooked by the daring premise from the start but I never knew where it was going. The dramatic irony of both men having the exact same goal was suspenseful enough, but for it to turn out the victorious protagonist was only in it for the fame--absolutely amazing exploration of the morals of vigilantism and connections to protagonists via their presumed motivations. And that's just the story! So many beautiful and intriguing shots of the trees, I absolutely love this!
This was so well produced. The "gotcha" moment at 3:21 was visceral and the child voices in chat was perfect. Bravo!
So happy you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
This is what happens when a true neutral bumps into a chaotic good.
I love how we view him at the start as a heroic vigilante, but by the end he’s this lying pos
What? How is he a lying piece of shit? He's still a Vigilante at the end. What are you on about.
@@theforgottenheretic7367 He killed another "vigilante" and lied about killing the "pedophile" in self-defense when really, he killed another pedo hunter on accident. He's still somewhat a vigilante, though, he had good intentions.
I agree. He's a lying pos. He has good intentions but one of them, sadly, is to be famous. I feel bad for the other vigilante who does it not for fame but to really avenge the victims.
@@onigiria7791 Exactly.
In life, I don't think we often get the actual truth. People are constantly changing the perception of others, reinventing "reality", to meet their own agendas. js
This was a great film. A well thought out idea, toying with modern ideas, believable characters, great atmosphere, great sound, stunning visually and never got boring for a second. This, in my opinion, is how good horrors should be. Please keep up the good work. Totally loved this.
The child voice that subtly transitions into the deeper male voice is truly the stuff of nightmares.
God that twist really hit hard. That realization that he wasnt the enemy at all, instead he was there for the exact same reason (minus becoming famous) and I’m so disappointed that he wasn’t honest.
❤️❤️❤️
Why didn’t he just tell him that he was a journalist???
My thought was why didn't he yell out that the cops were notified after the blade was seen
It's so easy to think about what you could say without behind in the situation
He pretended to be a 9 year old as he chatted with the masked man...
Hindsight's 20/20,bud
@Jimmy Rustling Ryan George fan?
Twisted, twisted, TWISTED!! I am falling in love with your channel. Truly a much needed upgrade to the horror genre.
Thats very creepy, lol
you guys, have the best short horror flims here, i've been binge watching for three days by now nonstop, almost all of the shorts, and the best ones, are from screamfest, i'll be waiting for more while i watch the ones i haven't yet, this one was amazing!!!
I freaking loved this movie. Very thought-provoking. A smidge predictable, but makes up for it with all the other shockingly unpredictable stuff. For me, it makes me reconsider the scope of my definition of a monster. Left me feeling much the way I did after having watched Let the Right One In.
Doesn't matter if it wasn't genuine. If pedophiles end up exposed/dying it's always good.
From the best short movies ever made, I wish if it was longer than 31 minutes! Yeah karl davies movies are always interesting
Aspects have to be "predictable" for the "unpredictable" to work.
OMG SO FAR ONE OF THE BEST SHORT HORROR FILMS EVER!!!!!!
Choi Chun Sing
While the subject is obviously abhorrent, this is brilliantly written, wonderfully acted, and simply gorgeous to look at. All in all, an amazing film, short or otherwise.
Edit: Paedophiles are abhorrent, not paedophile hunters.
I loved when people bring the horror of paedophilia to light. Great short film!!!!
I've already watched this once but I had to watch it again! Without a doubt one of, if not the best short horror film I've ever seen. It's hard to find short horror films of such quality. Props to everyone involved, great plot, filming, acting, writing, etc. A+
Wow the biggest misunderstanding of all time.
Title doesn't match up with the story much but really great film, really important ideas.
the title does match up with the story.. NSFW-Not Safe For Work. He is a blogger trying to expose online paedophiles, and the way he is doing it isn't exactly safe. Dude got himself killed, all for work as a blogger trying to get famous.
should be called 'nonsebusters'
SO brilliant! One of my favorites from my recent binge of horror/thriller shorts
Good acting, great location, very good director and a awesome story. No need of super expensive, in money and time, cgi, just a good story. 10/10
Glad you enjoyed the film, Thanks for watching! ❤️👻
This should be at the oscars.
This channel is highly underrated. I've explored it and I am awestruck by the diversity of the shorts. Kudos to the team. Keep up the good work. Love from India. ☺
This is one of the scariest, well put together short films I have ever seen. This was amazing I am shaken up a bit and now I have a huge adrenaline boost. To the people who made this great job I loved it.
Extremely well done. Enjoyed every minute of it!
Spoilers!!!

That was depressing, both would've made a great team! There was some scenes where the problem could've been solved if they were just clear with each other or questioned the actions of one another during the scenes. Playing hero is no joke, and I think this video translates that wonderfully. It just sucks because both just wanted to do the right thing (if you excuse beating the crap out of someone) and pretty much ended up killing one another. It's a gray world. The fear of uncertainty, trust, and motive to find the truth plagued those men (in retrospect the community of that area) to quickly act upon each other without thinking. Definitely leave it to the professionals to do the work. There's more this video likes to touch on, but it's late...lol I was looking for horror videos to watch at 2:00 am. xD
Side note: Camera work, acting, props, and everything was beautiful!
Same. I just hate how the younger guy just wanted fame
Hey same its 2am here rn
@@whotrynakillseth4137 326 here
Real life undercover cops/ teams have attacked each other too! Tho this is scarier bc these sort of vigilantes don’t have people that will notice them being gone until it’s way too late. It’s much safer to do this the way the CZcamsr pedo-catchers do it (can’t remember the name, but they keep many records, have a teammate, and meet publicly without the intent of violence...)
I loved that. Loved the way it was done with the child's voices. And although I saw the twist coming (what if they're both doing the same thing?)--it was still interesting to see how it played out. And also the twist at the end, was very humorous. Made me laugh.
This is one of the best horror film channels ever
Excellent on all levels! Writing, directing, and acting all top notch!
I think the scariest part of the story is how much value the online world holds for us. That rather than call for help, he live tweeted his own death. It's terrifying.
And the "first" like, obviously a fan, who sends her prayers to him but doesn't offer to call the police or an ambulance.
Screamfest has the best short horror movies
The setting in the woods reminded me of Dog Soldiers.. beautiful yet haunting. I've seen this a few times since released and am still impressed👌🏻. Very well done with the perfect plot and a WTF outcome.
One of the best horror clips that i HAVE EVER SEEN!
I was in suspense the entire time. Loved every minute of it!
I am enjoying your content more than cryptTV, you seem to have a higher quality over quantity. Your channel is seriously underrated! Cheers very much!
I like them both. Just like I like pizza 🍕 and fine dining 🍛. It just depends on my mood that day.
why can't people just appreciate something without bringing another thing down?! Is there really a need to compare 2 awesome channels having their own genuine content.?!!! why cant just appreciate their efforts without comparing them.
And Screamfest 😍
true
If you can't compliment someone without putting someone else down, then just don't.
One of the best short horror films I've ever seen, it has a scary atmosphere, good filming, cool story and twist, well done!
finally! someone in the world, even an actor, who believes: *children. aren’t. stupid.* they can have opinions, they can have thoughts, they can have a reasonable mindset.
GREAT cinematography!
Ooh, gotta spread this all over social media-- just brilliant; from the story to the filming to the acting! Subscribed immediately!! 💙
Screamfest ➡ Yay; thank YOU for being so awesome!! 💙
I guessed the 2 were both "hunting predators" in the beginning, still, great story. Really love that both recorded it all. One wanting to kill, the other wanting fame. Both should have called police.
Word!
This is amazingly done, and a great story to boot.
Wow, what a phenomenal short. What an original plot! Although, as others have stated, I saw all of this coming, it never once deterred me from watching until the end. Beautifully shot and acted as well! You have definitely earned a new subscriber 🙂
What an intriguing premise. I loved it.
Another great one! Is it just me, or do these short films seem to have more emotional pull and overall meaning than “regular” films?
This is like something out of black mirror. Gorgeous film with interesting idea! Loved every shot especially the woods.
The quality of your shots in your film are astounding. I almost got dizzy when the camera spun in the woods. Keep it up.
I love the echo showing that they're older than they say.
when you like a short film so much you wish it was a full movie.
Awesome storyline...different...very different! Loved it!! Thanks so much!!
So much symbolism and esoteric drops in this ..it was like literally being slapped in the face with the veil as it dropped!
Beautifully Black! Every human being is an apex predator at some degree of latency. Hunting pedophiles for publicity... dark! And was the truth of their encounter recorded on video camera? So, both mens' undertakings are expressions of misunderstanding, malice and futility! The woods are gorgeous. The 360 view! Man, this is a great film! Cheers to every one involved!
I think this is my favourite Screamfest short yet! Brilliant because something like this could have (possibly has already?) happened in real life.
Thanks for watching!!
Holy shit! What a job guys. Can’t tell what’s better either cameras’ movement and all wood photography or the script itself which is one of my favorite topic, humans and their contemporary issues.
This is the real“titans fighting”
I love how all these films make you think so much,there's never a moment when the gears in your brain stop spinning
no amount of soap can scrub this from my eyes and soul.
Layers and layers....ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!!!
Thank you brilliant . Had me pondering and wondering.
One of the best shorts I’ve ever seen hands down👌I mean from the acting, to the cinematography, to the plot... and not to mention the messages throughout this short. I thoroughly feel this needs to be made into a real movie. Or even a series so we can get a back story on each character, the actual killer/s and even how the police are handling the situation.
I can't get enough of this channel is absolutely creative and unique. I have been obsessed the entire day.
Awesome. Thriller from start to finish. The monsters praying on innocent people aren't always obvious. This film makes use of that fact in a unique way.
Stunning short film. Very well thought and directed. Kudos to the team behind this project!
❤️❤️❤️
Even though they both died won’t the world still know exactly what happened because at the end it shows the old mans camera recording the old man calling him a pedo.
Finally, someone saw that and mentioned it. Yes, the world will see everything and his fame won't be for what he wanted.
I thought the younger guy used the camera to replay the footage. the camera wasn’t recording after that.
But the old man wasn't shouting and the camera was pretty far, how do we know the camera picked up what he said?
I was shocked near the end! you all did such an incredible job with this I loved the storyline for this marvelous job👏😁
The cinematography of this is amazing.
This was very well done. The photography in the forest was amazing, it made it look almost 3D.
Only one mistake, though...everyone knows you never get cell service in the woods, that's how everyone dies!
Excellent job, Happy New Year's weekend! Everyone stay safe out there!
Thanks for watching!
