I agree with Jason, I would’ve pretended to be asleep too hoping the situation would solve itself.
Valid
yeah! if i was there , i would pretend to be asleeep
As soon as she walked towards the attic " you deserve whatever happens"
But mom said clean it or else.
Fr thats what Im saying like grab your kids and bf or whatever and run out side in the car to the police
The only thing she grabs out of all the tools in the garage is the flashlight?

For every like this comment gets I’ll say I love you to my mom.
For real
Like farmer bot
I love the very common theme of saying your husbands name as softly as possible, giving him the slightest nudge, then giving up and going alone.
I wake my husband up with a soft whisper and a gentle shake and he acts like I fired a sawed off shotgun into the ceiling of the bedroom.
@@sarahb1862 My father would act like I held a gun to his head, my brother would like like a threatened his next of kin.
@@davidrobinson2323 They know what's up, deep down they know there's probably a mimic in the house and we want them to deal with it LOL
tried to do that w my older brother and got a bruise on my head from him kicking me into the wall, he’s got a hole there now🤦🏾♀ @@sarahb1862
Lol
I was actually annoyed at the dumb protagonist because she wasn't doing anything when she saw a literal monster but after watching it, it makes much more sense. The plot twist was seriously really good.
I'm so glad you thought so! Thanks so much!
So yea, it's very popular to use the word 'literal' 🤣
mis bolas
Made me a holl clown💀💀🥶
The “protagonist” you’re talking about was the monster lol.. did you not even understand the story?
the fact that the boyfriend is just sleeping 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I absolutely love that switch from having the house be the safe cozy location and the attic the dangerous spooky one to essentially flip 180° once the protagonist looks down the ladder. That's super unique and I appreciate the short for that alone
Man, who keeps such weird ass dolls up the attic man?
@@sambhavtiwari3963 They halloween decorations lol.
Technically the one looking down the ladder was the antagonist. The antagonist kidnapped the main girl, stuffed her inside that scarecrow thing, and took over her life.

Thx for spoiling it for those of us who hadn’t gotten to that part yet…
Finally a horror story with a happy ending, couldn’t think of that plot twist
not exactly happy. that thing is still out there.
@@AXELVISSERSit could either come back or haunt someone else's home
@@thinkingoutlouderbbcthe fuck are you reading comments and not expecting spoilers
@@thinkingoutlouderbbc dont go to the comments if you don't want it to get spoiled
Imagine if it took her husband. Unlikely, but cool
First red flag: going to your garage at night :Second red flag: going up your attic at night :third red flag: seeing a doll move and not run

@@martinjegej4810😂😂 so what this supposed to do with movie?😅
@@muhammadsaqib8046 He's making a point, he's the fourth red flag.
@@01KKJR10 bro.. 😂
If I see a doll moving
I m leavin planet man
I'm just going to say this but when the monster ran away from the original human it was a whole plot twist 10/10
i like how the little chicken raises her suspicion instead of the actual body that’s laying on the ground and moving
😭😭
when the human said "im taking it back" to the monster it got me good. GREAT film i loved it
Love it.

Keep up the good work!
Wow! Thanks for sharing! I have never heard that quote from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, but I totally agree. That's exactly what we are trying to achieve. Copying that quote to my notes for inspiration! Thanks so much!
@@tylercz You're welcome, I love that i could share it.
I can't wait for your next one 🖤
I can't get afraid I don't know why
@@pubglitegaming5602 Because you're a ghost
@@robinkujur4988 I watched the exorcist movie and didn't get afraid even a bit, I watched that movie because I read it's review that it is the most horror movie so I can get afraid lol. But earlier I get afraid even watching fear files, I can't watch that earlier but now😂
This is a great example of minimalist horror! Most of it is just a pretty girl looking at inanimate objects and being frightened. Her facial expressions really carry it. No screaming, no reliance on blood or gore, and very little in the way of jumpscares. Well done!
Thanks so much! It sounds like we have similar taste. Some people prefer the blood and gore and screaming, and others prefer something like this. Nothing wrong with either of them. People like what they like!
What is the interpretation of this film, I did not understand it
@@user-ng3cz7df8vJason was pregnant
Thank god I’m not the only one. Cause that ending confused the absolute FUCK out of me
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Note to future self: do not hit a monster in the face with a bat
It's like a deconstruction of the 'dumb horror movie protagonist' archetype and I love it for that!
Just gonna take a moment and applaude how well organised that garage is 👏 👏 👏

@KirubelAmare-om3ht yup! I try to be responsive when people post under the threads I start.
@@emilysigmund1255I wish more people did that
Whoever did the lighting for this nailed it! Give them a raise!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
1:54 fr
kinda shitty
When she went to the attic i almost had a heart attack 😂😂😂
The fear of strange noises from an attic is the beginning of wisdom
The lighting, the costume designs especially the plot twist in the end. Every aspect keeps you immersed in this. A short horror film that actually gets your heart pumping. Absolutely amazing!!!!
This review makes us so happy! We are so glad to hear you felt so immersed!
Okay... SPOILERS!!!
Immediately, I was infuriated by yet another story where someone hears scary noises and goes waltzing into harm's way without so much as a club or a blade to defend themselves. My rage only built until the reveal at the end, when you see why the girl wasn't afraid. BRILLIANT! That is the definition of subverting expectations! I expected when the real woman gave chase that the creature would have actually made it upstairs, and have taken the sleeping man's place. Denied again!
Thank you for taking something tired and cliched and turning it into something fresh and worth watching again! Well done! :)
ALSO SPOILERS!!
Thanks so much!! You totally got it. We wanted to flip the “dumb horror movie protagonist” trope on its head with this one. Hopefully, people can hang on long enough to see why she’s not making (what you would think are) the most logical decisions 😆so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
@@tylercz It was well worth the wait for the end! Well done! :)
my bro needs to touch grass 100%
100% precent. it is also explains why she didn't wake jason up(she probably didn't want him to know)
So you get it? What actually happened?
What a great response to such a modest but superbly well done short! Major props to Zoe for some very nice acting!
Thanks so much! I will pass on your compliments to Zoe!
@@tylercz😮 do❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ have been sent ❤🎉🎉😢🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😅
Good movie and all, but I'm more impressed by how clean and organized that garage is. A+ babyyy.
Wow I was not expecting that twist at the end! So good. I love the camera cuts when she’s looking up the attic stairs. Great acting performance by Zoe. Such a great short
Thanks so much, Lauren!!
@@tylercz😢
I love being saying “twist at the end” and not giving it away love you for saving me bro bro(or other idk your pronouns 🤷♂️)
What was the twist ? I didn't understand 😕. Pls tell me
@@Youkai_arts I think it’s abt the girl and monster switching people but i didn’t understand it too
I'm confused, did the real lady lose her face and the scarecrow copy her body basically stealing the real woman's life.
Edit: OK I had to rewatch it a few times. I think the real lady is the second one and the first lady was some creature trying to steal her life
you were not the only one that didn't got it a t the first time
i didn't get it either lol
No they werent i didnt get it either
It was really scary...and that creature 👽 is a real wibe of the horror...and the way she gives her expressions and the end is superb fantastic
THAT PLOT TWIST WAS SO GOOD OMFG
The chicken scared me even more than the lady🤸Anyways this short horror film was really cool!If I could rate it I would give it a 10/10 or even ♾️/10!Deserves a like!
Shushhhhh
The lighting, costume design and ofc, the plot twist, all were really good and I'm really impressed by this short film. One of my favorites from now on!
Bro tried to change it up💀
Bruh you just copied a different comment
everything but the acting
Thank you so much! Very interesting stories! One of my favorite horror channels.
Thanks for saying so! So glad you enjoy them. More to come!
That was so good! I was yelling at the screen the whole time😂
This was so good. I love showdowns that have two "same" people fighting; The brawl between the actual human and pure malevolence.
The plot twist was completely unpredictable. When rewatching it it just makes it even more scary knowing that
You're following the monster instead of the protagonist. Absolutely astonishing
Thank you so much! So glad to hear you appreciated that while rewatching!
@@tylercz it's a masterpiece of horror I've never seen before!
@@GreaterCreation19212 so nice of you! Thanks so much!!
Nah Jason would be waking the fk up. 😂
As soon as I saw the thumbnail, I knew I was gonna float away to the heavens above 💀
So many have lives that are too busy, they have to miss many good videos. 10 minutes long, brilliant. Good movie. Great camera work.
Thanks so much!
Its short flim but okay to say movie
❤👍
Sound design, ambiance and silence at just the right time. 7:36 sfx though. Overall, A+. But what do I know, I'm just an old audio engineer that, surprisingly, can still hear.
Thank you so much! That means a lot coming a sound engineer!
I think that these are the best horror movies where I have fun and then I'm afraid to fall asleep 🤣😈
Amazing! the monster seems like it´s the girlfriend of the monster of GUEST (another great horror short film btw)
I kept telling her not to go into the attic. But ofc she doesn't listen to me. 😂
Well good thing the girl you were telling not to go into the attic was the fake one anyways
They never do!!! I'm always telling these twits not to go I the attic, the basement, the creepy room full of torture devices, they nev er listen. Itslike they can't even hear us!
💀
That monster looked like it was taken right out of "Fraggle Rock". Didn't scare any less for that reason. Great work. I imagine you guys were inspired by "Us".
Tyler Czajkowski, I love your channel so much, I just had to subscribe!
Bro the suspense was crazy I love fantastic horror short films I appreciate it❤
Amazing! Kept thinking “This heroine is so dumb…” The ending made it all worthwhile!!!
True definition of “When the hunter becomes the hunted”
The plot twist was sick af, I liked it too much , u nailed it Tyler 👀👍🏻
🤓🤓🤓🤓
So glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks for the kind words!
@@tylerczthis was so scary I literally had to hide in the comments 😂
@@tylerczexplain the ending
The was the biggest plot twist I have ever seen in a movie
WHAT A PLOT TWIST OMG! LOVE THIS!!!
I had a mini heart attack when it jumped. If I was in her place, I would've literally died out of fear 💀
Excellent video. The suspense, lighting, everything was top notch. My only criticism is the beginning. No woman will hear a sound, nudge her husband/boyfriend twice, then give up check for herself. That dude is waking up whether he wants to or not.
Solid take.
That wasn't a woman.
@@robinholmes8390yes it was
that's kinda the whole point though. The woman in the beginning is the entity. The film is depicting the stereotypical horror film protagonist, but the plot twist shows that is was the entity the whole time, adding more depth to the plot twist and meaning of the film.
Oh my god, bro is literally the master of diguise, how does he do it?
Amazing short horror film! I really enjoyed it!
I loved how you created the spooky atmosphere with the music and with the scarecrow moving places.
I might not be a horror expert or something, but as a horror lover, I'll give some small advice for possible future films:
When creating atmosphere before showing the monster, I suggest making that time a little bit shorter, because sometimes, the viewer might think that the jumpscare scene might never come and most of the times stop the video.
Also, something that I noticed, people usually get scared and more nervous when the jumpscare is completely unexpected and closer to the screen. I don't know how to explain it "scientifically" but a close jumpscare creates more fear in someone's mind than one that is far away. Possibly because the brain realises that danger is closer.
Anyways, as I said, I loved the movies and can't wait to see what you'll make in the future!
I like long unraveling horror)😅
Far away frightening things give another effect - as in the dream - to runaway - it’s good fence too
This is probably a corny interpretation lol but this reminds me of the concept of fighting a personal demon that has taken control of your life and robbed you of your identity. That demon could be anything, but I personally think about depression and how it makes you feel like you’re not yourself anymore. You just go about your life even though secretly, you don’t feel like you belong. You’re not living… you’re just THERE. Then one day you get sick of that demon’s bs and want your life back. You can never kill it, but you can fight it and take back your control.
This 250% is how I currently feel and have the last few years
Identity theft is not a joke, Jim!
The music to this film gives this movie the horror feel it needs. It made me jump i cant lie. I really enjoyed it. Really fantastic work 💯
I had a loft just like that. To a t. We had life size human dolls there. At the hand, we had a string attached. From my bed room, we could pull the string, and the doll’s arm would go waving, knocking to the floor. Scaring the shit out of anyone younger. They’d walk up those same stairs to check out the dead man in the loft.
It scratches right where horror blockbusters don't. Thank you for that !

Honestly better than most horror movies I've seen. Imagine that this monster was in your house? Good job to everyone who worked on this!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
The goal of everyone watching this horror movie is to not imagine anything like this even could exist on earth
bro has seen no horror movies 💀
@lawnchair3034 bruh literally, everything is "scary" these days 💀💀
u should try to watch more horror movies then ;0
This was so good I love it!!!❤
I watched this with my little cousins, they were terrified when they saw the face and they quickly hugged eachother closing their eyes😭
Come on, I would never go up there alone PLEASE
I’m already terrified halfway in, this is good stuff
finally someone who doesnt have the brain of a three year old
I demand a "Prequel" short film be made!! We need an origin story! :D Fantastic video!!
Totally agree
For 10 minutes, that was good. Well made. 👍
THIS IS SOO GOOD WTH??! LIKE U MANAGED TO MAKE IT SCARY WITHOUT SCREAMS AND BLOOD!!
THE SCRIPT...THE ACTORS... THE EDITING... ITS ALL SOO WELL DONE!!!! UR A LEGEND BRO!!!
So nice of you! Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
WTF EVEN HAPPENED???? The ending made NO SENSE to me!! I still have NO IDEA what all that supposedly was!! PLEASE explain it to me, cause I’m straight up lost!
@@fieryhotwarts NOW I COULD BE VERY WRONG ABOUT THIS! (Am also bad at explaining stuff~ it just kinda makes sense in my head💀)
So this is what I understood:
The girl that we see in the beggining is actually the monster (a skinwalker perhaps?)
Shes done something to the actual girl and stolen her face
And the "ghost" is actually the real girl trying to get her position back
We see the monsters actual face when the real girl whacks her in the head and then the monster gets scared so she runs off
And the girl goes back inside her house
(I could be wrong tho... am functioning on 2 hours of sleep and an unimaginable amount of caffine rn...)
@@Osamu_DazaiiiOK
Not much scares me but this scared me to death. Plus I'm watching this in the dark. Bad idea. Awesome. 😱😱☠☠
This was awesome the lighting the coustume you guys nailed it
Thank you so much!!
Gosh that was AWESOME!!I SENTED IT TO MY GC AND WE WATCHED IT TOGHETER!!THE TWIST WAS SUPER GOOD!!i couldn’t believe it honestly
I would consider this better than most actual full budget horror movies I've seen the plot twist at the end was really good sure it wasn't entirely original but that doesn't mean it's bad you know what they say "don't re invent the wheel" and also people are gonna hate simply to hate don't let that demotivate you this is simply incredible
Damn chicken almost gave me a heart attack 😱. And I thought the witch was gonna do something. Great film good job 👍👍
Love this. It's hard to come across horror short films that actually scare.That face was scary afff . More please !!!!
Yeah.... it's hard to find something really scary these days.
@@nathan-38Would you like to see something truly horrifying, Mr. Matos?
But what actually HAPPENED? Plz help me understand! Was the first girl just a monster in disguise and the baseball bat girl was a prisoner? I just didn’t get it at all!
@@fieryhotwarts The monster was masquerading as the woman the entire time, from the start of the short, and the woman escaped her prison and attacked the monster with a bat, trying to reclaim her identity and life from the monster. The monster couldn't keep the disguise up at one point, and it was revealed how the monster really looked, before the monster shifted back into her disguise again.
I love such videos in night just to get a good sleep
we just watched this in our school and even one girl cried bc of how scary this was. Masterpiece
So nice of you to say!! Please tell the girl I'm sorry it made her cry! Thanks so much for watching!
?
That was NOT what I was expecting.... Nicely done!!
Sound design, shots, direction, acting, all so on point for this film! Outstanding work
ANO YAN
Short, but effective. Nothing unnecessary, everything is well balanced. The monster is scary. I like this kind of suspense and films with haunted houses because there is an expectation of something that you cannot imagine and when the answer is completely different from what you imagined and well , it makes a good film! The story is simple, but well shot, as they say in France: Beauty is in simplicity! I was scared, I told myself that I was incapable of climbing the stairs to see in the attic. The sound is very good, the lights, Zoe's face looks like it was carved in marble, such perfection,a non universal beauty! Congrtatulation Tyler (and Zoe), it's time to move on to the feature film now ! :)
Thanks so much, Betty!! So nice of you to say!
These are FIRE! 🔥
I can speak for most Jason's here and confirm, we can sleep through most anything.
Honestly, this is so awesome! Idk why, but my heart was beating from some of the intense parts. This was so amazing and the actor did a great job. I hope we get to see more horror films from you guys.
Thank you so much! We will definitely be making more. We hope you will watch those too!
@@tylercza 6:12 😮🎉😂
this reminded me to take my anxiety meds good job!
I love the plot twist that really hit different
That plot twist at the end seriously shocked me. This kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Outstanding performance! I'm subbing.
Best movie ive seen yet. The plot twist was great. I was not expecting that.
this is incredible stuff! ive watched so many scary movies that i have a tolerance to those, all blood guts and screams, a final girl, whatever, but this is the true art of horror, i literally had to pause and go to the comments to get the courage to continue watching and im so glad i did! all i wanted was a little scare before i had to go to school, but i'll be looking over my shoulder for a doppelganger all day now!
Thank you so much! So kind of you to say!
@tylercz can you PLZ explain what happened? I’m SO lost and none of the comments really explain it. Was the main girl actually a faceless demon thing that trapped the baseball bat girl and took over her life? What was the stuffed dummy all about? I have so many questions!
@@fieryhotwarts Sorry to hear you didn't understand the ending! I recommend rewatching the last 3 minutes if you didn't get it the first time or you can read the short story it's based on here: www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/13yehtp/the_ultimate_disguise/
You can either read the whole thing or the last few paragraphs, and that should clear it up for you!
What worries me is the ending, the girl's attitude is not like people who have just experienced fear, they will be on guard. but she simply entered the house and locked the door, wondering if she was the original or just two impostors fighting over the living area. Where is the original?
Well actually its even better than the hollywood horror movies 😊❤❤😂
Genuinely didn't see the twist coming. Good job!
Wow. It's really beautiful, it's incredible, it looks real.❤
am i the only one confused on what it meant???
This is the most scary film that I've seen in my life. Good job guy's keep the great work
Pelo que entendi a boneca era que vivia a vida da mulher e a mulher que teve a vida roubada esteve sempre no sótão, até que conseguiu chamar a atenção da “boneca” e pegou sua vida de volta, corrijam-me se estiver errado.
Sim cópia do filme Nós
Thank you I had no idea 😂
3:52 oh my god im also featured in the video!😊
AMAZING!
This is one of the first scary things I've seen where the evil monsters being pursued by the victim LOL
This is genuinely incredible!!! It was so enjoyable to watch, I'm obsessed with the plot twist! You two are so talented, 'm definitely subscribing and hope to see more awesome stuff like this in the future :3
So nice of you!! Thank you!! That means so much! 🥹
Its so cool how we see the prospective of the monster ive never seen this done before
I don't know about my brother but he literally planned a mini movie marathon and PICK this. Big bro wanted me to sleep but made it worst😭 I love this but terrified of it.
This is the first good short horror film I’ve seen in a long time! You’re super underrated!
:0 amazing! You would be a great actor for a movie! ❤
You couldn’t pay me enough money to go up in my attic in the middle of the night while my husband sleeps soundly 😂😂
woah this is insanely good ! scared me sm
Thanks so much! So glad you were able to enjoy getting scared!
