Super creepy movie depicting a man's descent into madness and encounter with the unknown. Loved all of the little details leading up to the final encounter, or perhaps not so final encounter? I guess we'll never know! Great job! Had me hooked from the start!

Take a bow Joseph you and your cast and crew all did a great job suffering through the elements and the very hard work of all of you guys has certainly paid off job well done maybe one day you can post a behind the scenes of this very classy well written story and very well acted piece of work me and my friends were all watching this after it was done we were all upset because this should've been a 2 hour movie we wanted some more we always say to ourselves that this type of genre is the superior ones we have been big horror fans since we were little boys and girls respectively now we are all grown up in our 40s and 50s and we are still huge diehard fans of the genre and this is definitely one of tge very best ones that we've seen thanks for posting this gem. Again Joseph you and your cast and crew should take a bow great work here .

@@joesummerton I guess when he fell asleep? or the noise started? after that... it's just confusing. There's a horrible noise, or a dream? Then there's a cairn on an outcrop above a cave with cans and a sleeping area and chalk pictoglyphs... and someone calling his name and also in the cave. If this weren't labeled "horror" I'd just say he ran into some disorienting infrasound and found his brother camped out. And why did he throw that notebook in the beginning? It seemed to be an accounting of sightings of the Grey Man, but not necessarily his brother...

@@flamingmonkeyxii Hi Henri, cheers for the feedback. Maybe we left certain aspects of the story a bit too ambiguous. It was really hard to tell when writing the film how much to spell out for the audience and how much to leave for them to figure out. I will say, on the logbook, it was supposed to be a normal bothy logbook which usually contain hillwalkers accounts of their days out in the mountains, but the brother character had defaced this with multiple pictures of the Grey Man. The main character finds this frustrating as he is sick of his brothers obsession with the Grey Man and so he throws the book away in anger. Again, maybe not super obvious or even hinted at! It's great to get your perspective on it and it is feedback i will take forward to the next project.
@flamingmonkeyxii Жыл бұрын
@@joesummerton ok that helps. I'm not familiar with bothies (or similar European structures) personally, I just know they exist. I thought it was a logbook filled out by random travelers but that the Grey Man pictures were from numerous sightings, not just the brothers'. Maybe I'm just not familiar enough with Scottish folklore or highland descriptions to know what was going on. Perhaps he should have just had another smoke?

@@joesummerton what were the objects in the cave? I couldn't quite make them out, looked like a couple of cans and some orange things and a long thing? Maybe it's just my computer but the 1080p has a lot of artifacts or something when the screen is mostly dark.

Great production. The landscape is really extraordinary. The ending was solid, though if you are looking for suggestions, a few seconds of bleak empty landscape after the jumpscare might bookend the creepiness neatly. This reminds me of an australian genre of film, where the wilderness will swallow you up and no one will notice. Such films usually linger on the emptiness at the end.

Thanks Isaac! Good to hear more feedback. I really struggled with writing this, I think ultimately the idea was a feature but I tried to fit it in a short so some themes were left unexplored. I would like to expand this into a feature one day. I've not watched many Australian films, apart from Walkabout and recently The Stranger.
