Catch-22 - A Psychological Thriller Short Film

A man is coming home from a long business trip only to realize, no matter what turn he takes, he keeps coming back to the same road. Is he dreaming, or is he going insane?

[@DNTMEE]

That guy who stopped to help at the end should have been the hardware store clerk to complete the loop.

[@AntwhaleNearfar]

Crazy how Rod Serling was the first to do just about everything pertaining to sci-fi and psychological trippy-ness back in the 60's. #genius

An applause to the cameo that the crew did at the end on the reflection of the back of the black car.

Was that really the crew? Or just the previous guys in the loop?

Excellent! An eerie circuitous acid trip of a short film. Totally cool and creepy at the same time - great job!

He is in the Twlight Zone ! Thanks Good Short Movie

[@michaelwertzy9808]

I was born into my own "Twilight Zone" and it continues to this day. Other people say don't watch the TV news or newspapers. I'm much better now, thank you. Maybe or not? All I that I know is I die every night, but I'm born again in the morning! Pretty strange to me still. I've been told medication may help?!

I wonder why its called a 'Psychological Thriller'. It sure seems supernatural to me! Wow! Creepy & original. Kudos!

[@aa20d]

Awesome , that what I like , less than 8 mins and creepy like hell, well done!

[@manniesreactionchannel3808]

This is really nice! Good work, keep it up...

[@spacecovpe]

Amazing.

[@charlesstratford1612]

Excellent story. I imagine the last driver takes the place of the main character and the main character takes the place of what would seem the previous driver to himself (the guy in the store). I draw this conclusion because the last driver in the closing scene saw the same scenario as the main character had and jumped out in the same fashion as the main character had and the main character will end up in the store saying the same thing as the guy before him and so on and so on. It seems a kind of brief hell

[@luiscavalcanti3431]

I had to re-read more than once to grasp your conclusion. Nice observation

[@deerjoy2435]

I thought the same.. It’s just to confusing to explain the scenario of the script koo koo koo 🤪😂

[@WajebWahab]

This is really nice! Good work, keep it up... I was interested in seeing more! I'd honestly use twixtor in the slow motion parts so you don't get that choppy frame jumps... other than that good job man!

[@livingmirrorsmedia7477]

+Wajeb Wahab Thanks! :) I was actually trying to go for that effect, like that classic 80s slow mo, but I appreciate your feedback.

[@saifalnaqbi2819]

The classic 80s slo motion effects works perfectly especially in horror films. I’m glad to see use of the choppy slow motion effect! :)

[@ravindrajahagirdar2701]

Good... film. Actually happened to me. I and two friends left camp on foot to give an urgent message . When we started,it was about 9 pm,gave the message,had tea and started back. At one square,we realized we came again and again ,tried to get out of the square until 4 a.m. a military jeep happened to come by, a col in it said the place is affected. He took us in and we pierced it through. It was day-break. Can happen. Good film.

4:08 - daylight, but radio says that it’s 10:48pm. Then, at 5:59 it’s still 10:48pm. Is that part of the storyline? The dark haired actor is seriously creepy! Good job!

[@ryandeketenor932]

5:58 Pretty light outside for quarter to 11 at night.

[@sumchoimai1490]

I wouldn't take that so much into consideration of a bad film or a mistake because certain places on the planet such as Alaska for example are that light even at those hours. This movie was more towards the reflections of The Twilight Zone or a Time Warp alternate universe type videos.

[@SpaceBond07]

You notice everything ?

[@purvabhirajr170]

Never, get down from your car

[@emptysoul3]

What if you need to pee?

[@amandaroman3471]

psychological thriller is right lol Maybe this goes on till a new person comes then the last is released from the hell? So the guy at the store was the first he ran out and flagged down the big guy but wasn’t there And then the big guy kept seeing him until a new Driver came and then the big guy takes the role as the man who was at the store if this makes any sense.... since the new guy first sees the big guy the same way the big guy seen the man at the store for the first time.... so yeah. It’s a loop? I think it’s purgatory or a loop in hell maybe or whatever :) very nicely done I really like the story

[@netherlandsue3564]

It happened to me several times when my gps stopped working late at night in the middle of nowhere. I don’t know how I survived the misery.

[@elpeters3446]

On 7:16 there is a whole film stuff in the car paint reflection 😂 but when the actor turns around, there's none else. They must've run away 😂

[@destined2be484]

Woah this is an amazing thriller... especially because I’m into film. Which camera do you recommend that isn’t too expensive.

[@BirthdayEcards]

Omg! Why they didn't mention "Horror" in the title too...😕😕😕. The crew did great job making the movie btw!🎉

[@abicycleride179]

inspired from triangle movie !! i dint get u !!

[@GripReactor]

Triangle was more of timeloop with time difference similar to the movie Paradox. In this short film the loop is in the location. Similar to an episode from David Fincher's Netflix series Love, Death and Robots

i don;t get it lol

[@MissTique247]

Thst was TOTALLY twisted! The ending! Where he then became the one running down the car! That was brilliant! It was shot beautifully. Very well thought out. Perhaps some of the acting could have been a bit more fluid...but all in all, well done!
