Thanks to everyone for bringing it to life! ♥️😌

Great work!

[@erickghernandezr8577]

Al iniciar el short estando el chico sentado en la silla, no enfocaria todo el paradero sino solo captaria sus expresiones y los dialogos iniciales. Para que el short no evidencie lo "paranormal" de la trama de manera inmediata, para que despues empiece el dialogo con la chica y se vaya desarrollando ...jejeje pero de.todas formas me gusto mucho el short. excelentes actores..

[@PoochieCollins]

Hey, if you see this, how much did you intend the story to be taken literally, versus a metaphor? Good short story!

[@Incredibleegg1]

reallly impressed! I act in horror movies n this was spot on!!

The bus driver seemed awfully calm for someone who almost drove over a person. In fact he looked like he didnt give a shit.

If he didn't care he wouldn't wait until he gets inside the bus. Their patience is 5 seconds at most.

I believe it was a paranormal event, and when he got up, it merged into reality. 👍🏻

A horror film where the protagonist survives? That's rare, these days. Also, this was delightfully cerebral, instead of relying on jump scares.

Rare? In every film the protagonist survives, the supporting actors usually die.

[@jichaeljacksoniv310]

the way the girl was actually something more than I expected. Thankfully the boy survived

[@ElijahHugh]

Really enjoyed the fact that this film is not like other cliche horror films with jump scares and monsters. You really need to watch it twice or more to see all hints and double meanings in dialogues. It’s deeper than it seems:) Great actors, great director and a crew 👏🏻 bravo

As someone who almost jumped into a lake to end it all, almost 6 years ago, this hit hard. I’m glad I’m not currently haunting that particular lake at my uni.

Glad you're still with us. I lost my brother to suicide in 2001 he was Bi polar and I think it just got too much for him. It's the ones that are left behind that still feel pain . Your family would have suffered for the rest of their lives. Here you are 6 years later able to share an experience like this horror film with other fans around the world

[@zoracielleanri515]

Thank you so much for sharing this, I’m glad that this film opens up a conversation about suicide and that people are able to share their stories to support each other. Wishing you all the the best ♥️

[@momof3chis291]

I’m glad you’re still here, and I’m glad I’m still here to tell you that. I swallowed a handful of pills last February, and was disappointed and furious when I woke up. I am better now, and I’m glad I did. I’m glad you chose to go on. It is the ones around who we leave behind who would suffer. That voice is a liar. You aren’t a burden, you aren’t a disappointment. Someone loves, or will love you. You. Are. Worthy. 💖🌸💖

[@pierremercier4724]

What I particularly liked about this video is that beyond its «horrific» aspect, it offers us, through the speech of the ghost of the girl who mysteriously appears next to the young man waiting for the bus, a message of courage, of resilience and hope in life. What she tells the young man is that we must never give up in the face of adversity and that life is worth living, despite all the hardships it inflicts on us. In short, she encourages him not to commit the irreparable as she did, throwing herself in front of the bus several years ago, out of despair.

[@depassage2698]

The boys IS dead. She is a Ghost who kill the two others people of the bus stop)

[@gemstar7286]

@@depassage2698 How can the boy be dead when we hear him ringing his mother in the end credits?, plus the bus driver spoke to him.

[@depassage2698]

@@gemstar7286 just a illusion. I put a comment to explain my point of view. The ending is like a dream. The girl died before all the others Ghosts. You Can see the year of death. Someone push her (that's why she said) and look at the two ghosts : they try to warm him but she always distract his attention from the others. Lot of clues

[@namethis658]

​@@depassage2698I believe he survives, and the ghost helped him find strength to persevere in life.

[@pierinacordero9257]

@@depassage2698 This is actually a really interesting take! The way I thought about it was when she said "My friends pushed me" I thought it meant that her friends pushed her to end it all because they mistreated her. I thought the other 2 ghosts were people who committed suicide in the same way. They went there at their lowest moment in life to end it all, and like she told this guy that he was a failure, she said the same to the other people at a moment when they already felt that way, so she metaphorically "pushed them" to commit suicide. Regardless, it's dark. Loved reading your perspective!

[@richardschatz9992]

A horror story with a positive ending is really refreshing. And using the "epilogue" voiceover at the end to punctuate that is brilliant. What's also notable is that it didn't need to advertise itself as an "Award Winning Horror Story" as so many others do. In fact, that's very much in keeping with the quiet, understated feeling of the film itself. Well done! Please make more like this!

"You're really just gonna leave a lady alone at a haunted bus stop?!" - "Yes i am! Better one of us than both. Peace!" *Runs full speed as far away as possible*

[@VanessaShuShu]

I got rejected from uni of my dreams a while back and I know exactly how it feels when you are a teenager and everything is pressing on you and you pretty much feel like your life is over :/ I’m glad there is an ending where he survived and come back to him mum and tells her he loves her so it shows that he started to appreciate his family. Film itself is great, scary, intense, deep, love dialogues and music! Amazing work!

Nice story. It was predictable that the girl just appeared is a ghost. Kids can be really cruel. I have been pushed down the stairs at school because everyone hated me. Somewhat it reminds me of that... The feeling when someone is pushing you like that is just terrible.

[@zahratariq4461]

I’m so sorry u went through that sounds so wrong and underserved

[@ALIENIGHTMARE]

​@@zahratariq4461 thanks. I have skipped the school because of bullying. I tried to kill myself in many ways but i failed. Now im about 30 yo. and i have nobody to trust except my parents and my pet bird. I have nothing. No friends no husband or kids, nothing... sometimes i think that's even better than having a lot of fake friends who talk shit about me when im not with them. and the reason i am still alive is because my mom and my bird loves me . and i don't want to hurt them. 🙂

[@reign663]

You sound genuinely wholesome and real, don’t take this the wrong way but, whereas I agree with it’s better to be alone then be with fake friends, it’s messy having people in your life, I live alone as well I have absolutely no one in my life, it’s peaceful but sometimes miss companionship, anyway I hope you read this and find some clarity. You are not alone, ❤

[@mervisa89]

I have a feeling that he died at the end

[@automnevert]

I don't think she tried to kill him: she rather scared him, to the point he realized how wrong would it have been for him to commit suicide

[@antoniakoseva6399]

​@@mervisa89 I think he actually lived, because we can see him talking with the driver, getting on the bus and then calling his mom. The ghost lady frightened him and thus opened his eyes - as he said 'I am not running away anymore'.

[@williamramos3350]

When she was referring to her adopted parents...it seems she was talking about the other two ghosts. Was there a massive grave site near the bus stop? How did she die? Thank you for sharing.

[@premiumaccount4166]

Are you that daft? She said clearly that her friends pushed her in front of a bus. She’s a ghost and her adoptive parents are just people she wanted as her new parents whom she then killed so they’d haunt the bus stop with her

Cool, not bad, Team! The symbolic things like the man standing there, the clock- you know, it Has something to mean with his fear or whatever his Problems are. It was in my eyes a little project to let the people remember, to learn to handle your Problems on a way, because time runs and so on... This is a calm movie, because (in my Interpretation) with no much dynamic, much more horror on a ; what if you had those things on youre side, in youre head? Not even monster are there. I also saw, that your life can be horror. The others are feeling it. Of course, there is more you can analyse of this well done project! Well, I also were a bit bored in the middle of the movie, cause there is not much happening. Well, this is what I meant! You wanted to have time for explaining this topic. Go on guys! Like it!

It's not a "good ending" we think he is alive but he is not. the monster is the girl who uses the bus to kill people (with yellow eyes). on the tombstones, we can see the date of the death of the young girl: 1978. which implies that she died before the lady (2012) and certainly the old man: Finally some signs: - the two ghosts do not intervene. The boy sees them but the girl diverts his attention - the old man shakes his head to the girl who diverts the attention of the boy - she holds him back when he wants to leave - she indicates that it is the tormented souls who die (she knows the rule because she kills) - we see his true face at the end - she explains that she has been pushed by a man girl under the bus (this IS why she haunts the bus stop now and kill Lost souls) - she throws him under the bus - the driver has a very quiet reaction ( a boy literally fall in front of his bus...) in short, the end is like a dream but obviously, he is no longer alive at the end but a ghost who will be lost. Good movie and good acting!
