My favorite part about this is the fact the girl actually escaped. This isn’t a horror movie thing where the creature spawns out of nowhere and gets her even though she thought it couldn’t anymore. This time, the survivor got a reward for her efforts, the creature is aware it’s over, she’s out of it’s range and it can’t do anything about it but what it can do is find another prey and repeat the process over and over.

[@KroleGaming]

Yes, you would usually expect the creature to actually catch up in the end, but what happened here is actually more terrifying

[@johnwhite1534]

Something I didn't notice on my original viewing is that the creature has four hands. Two are gripping the head while it walks with the others. Meaning the reason the gunshots to the face didn't kill it is because the head is empty and the creature is waving it around either for fun or as a distraction. It could be that its head is where the pincers are and it walks backward to trick people into not aiming for its weakpoint

[@deadass_edwin.2002]

So I guess a shotgun with buckshot or a flamethrower is the only way to kill the creature.

Love how we're shown at the end that the monster intentionally pulls the skin on the face back to form a smile, like a naive attempt to fool other people into thinking it's just another person.

If people who made horror like this had the budget they deserved, horror would be taken a lot more seriously than it is today.

I really like that despite how terrifying the creature is, it's technically still not unbeatable. It's really freakishly fast, but it takes a surprising amount of time to break through a regular glass window. That also explains why it prefers stealing bodies rather than just outright going aggressive. I think a human could punch through that window in one shot, so arguably we're stronger that this thing, it's just got the advantage of surprise and terror.

[@januszpolak254]

You never tried to punch the window out if you think its so easy to do. And you forgot about it having strong claws and pincers. It don't need much strenght because it have strong slashing weapon.

[@bragsaint7824]

Ight so I did some research, it's the pale horse of the fourth horseman. Log 1: This bug is closest to an earwig, something that would prefer decaying organic material, but not enough to drop its disguise as it could be eating the flesh as it travels but it doesn't want to wait for stuff to start decaying because it doesn't see them as food yet as it leaves the inn almost immediately after the events of the film. In terms of how it's controlling the bodies, this could be severe spasms it causing as a Costa Rican wasp is able to lay larva in certain spiders that does this, in this case the larva have hosts they don't outgrow and therefore can continue to do so with each new kill, but it leads me to believe it's adapted to this as it walks relatively realistically enough to pass as human and can react with making false reactions with the head, this thing has been here for a fat minute. Something REALLY interesting is its behavior, it displays PREY behavior, as it has a vestigial head (human head) that is shot in the film yet it doesn't react to it (it's carrying the head with smaller hands) that it uses to trick danger into attacking so it could run away, when threatened by the motel owner it displays protean behavior (unpredictable movement) which is common in bugs that hide so it has a higher chance of not being caught when it is found. The thing is though, is that the enviroment this animal would need to come from is absolutely alien (it is extremely invasive due to it being a prey animal), as it would need to be 1. Very very cold 2. Highly enriched in oxygen, meaning it would need to be a freezing yet thick forrest (amazon forrest thick if not thicker) with plenty of rocks, logs, and leaves to hide under so it could survive the tempersture, making me believe that the planet it comes from has stuff that is MASSIVE compared to our world, I'm talking trees the size of mountains, and animals the size of mansions. So just imagine what the fuck eats this thing on a daily basis. Log 2: so due to the fact that this creature would maybe live in large groups if it could, it makes me believe it could be a hive animal like bees or ants, but except of making a nest somewhere safe, they wait for an animal to eat them to BECOME their nest. This fits highly well with their wasp comparablities as well as their behavior, as when a large animal would eat them, they could start to tamper with its behavior, and since with such a large animal, there would be a large amount of decomposing material to allow them to survive until say another large animal starts eating the dead body of their "nest" and the cycle continues, this lifrcycle would fit with their diet as well as explain why in a colder enviroment they wouldn't just freeze to death and be stuck to the underside of rocks for the entirety of their life Log 3: Unofficial name I'm making up for this animal is "Snicker Bug" as to reference its attempt at being discreet with making vestigial heads smile, which I personally find very rude and disrespectful Log 4: something with scares me the most is its hands, they have opposable thumbs. This is typically found in apes and us so they could use tools, so something makes me curious is how smart the snicker bug could be, besides the behavior with the head being bait, opposable thumbs and the possible "hive" behavior with ants and bees, could mean this animal has a higher intelligence which is suggested with the behavior with its disguise in the first place, but also how it seems to be comfortable doing it, it seems second nature to it, which leaves me horrified as if it isn't an alien, then either 1. Fucking hollow earth was real and that's where fucking subartic amazon forrest land is or 2. This thing has adapted to our world over so many generations that it might as well be native, making its behavior almost self learned, and that there are MANY more doing exactly what this one was doing Log 5: I've considered the possibilities that I could be wrong so what the hell could they be, here's just a couple hypothesis: 1. Military experiment for deployment seems unlikely, as while sure it could spook the living hell out of a populace into doing some real superstition shit (which IS a real tactic the USA tried making one place think vampires were real), but other than fear factor there's nothing you couldn't probably do better lethally with a guy with a gun 2. Crazy scientist makes super bug, also unlikely BUT makes more sense than a military experiment as some crazy dude with advanced gene splicing bs could theoretically make something like this if they understood bugs REALLY REALLY well and the motive of being evil scientist is there, but the size of it suggest that either there's no way they could incubate it, or scientist has a sci-fi lab 3. Spiritual or Folklore wise I could find anything, MAYBE skinwalker but I feel like I'm stretching it there but if anyone has some they'd like to add please do Log 6: something is to be said about the actual knowledge the creature has already obtained, it has amazing learning but it's still lacking, it knows to open doors and to knock, but is stopped by glass as it can directly see the food source inside. It also hesitates and dances around the motel owner with the gun as it might be a completely new interaction the bug has with the world, not knowing the exact danger but trying to size it up. It knows to make the face smile but doesn't do much in terms of maintenence with decay or keeping the same body or head together. There's also something to be said about why it's in the forrest as opposed to a urban or city environment, I can only assume from its previous host being a woman in a medical gown that it WAS in an area like that, but found it much more threatening? It doesn't seem scared or injured on its actual body from what I can tell unless someone can find something I missed. Log 7: the woman in the gown really intrigues me now, how did THAT happen? It might asexually reproduce as it abandons the body completely once the woman drives off, again similarly to wasps, leaving the food for the larva, but WHY if that's the case would it not hide the body? Is it that confident a wild bear or some coyotes won't begin to eat the corpse before then? Even ignoring that, it MUST have learned that doors were a thing there, however being in that setting is still confusing because WHY a hospital with DOZENS of people at a time occupying a building instead of some dude in a hoodie out on a walk in the urban area this thing would need to be in order to get to a hospital. Weaker hosts? Still tells me that it has the knowledge that people flock to these buildings despite lacking the knowledge of social interaction above what it observes. With that in mind, how OLD is this particular bug? Is it even an adult? How can it have this much learning capability yet so little genuine knowledge. The biggest thing that intrigues me is when it stops when encountered with the red lights of the car, in a hospital setting, it means that a nurse is working and to not interrupt them, it does respect that BUT WHY? Does it think the "nurse" will come out? Clearly this thing learns from observations, but how much does this thing observe as opposed to getting food. Log 8: the body still confuses me, as much as the woman in the gown, two sets of hands, one for movement and the second smaller pair for heads? Why have THAT specific use for them? Assuming my "corpse hive" theory, it could be for handling and carrying, maybe it feeds itself with those hands since assuming it lives in massive creatures, it would still want to harvest the roof for the hive, the larger hands for grip, and smaller pair for harvest. Even then it COULDN'T have learned its trademarked "snicker" behavior through observations, could it? If it learned from others in its hive then there are some possible theories as its presence here. 1. The hive is on earth and is separated somehow, it would explain the traveling into the forrest as that's where the hive would be, and is more concerned with bringing food back to the hive rather than surviving on its own, meaning many others are around doing the same as a commentor suggested. Or 2. It's a premolted queen looking to make a new hive, possibly at the hotel explaining why it left the bodies there but still travels to gather more food. It would either mean that this is the first of its kind here (unlikely) OR a hive is already so large they're already making new queens Log 9: The woman in the gown has her Achilles tendons attacked, WHY? It's pincer is clearly seen to have sever through the spinal bone in less than a second but it attacked her legs before getting her? I have a theory, it used to be smaller. Earwigs can become fully mature in 2 months, the human body is varied in how long it takes to decompose but assuming a colder temperature as to what the bug is used to it could be 2 weeks? It would explain why it would need a weaker host. They grow quick and big, who's to say this one is even done growing? Do they outgrow their hosts? God knows what they do when their old tricks stop working. Log 10: I've made a stupid question long ago, why would it abandons it's eggs? I already said it, it's to make new ones eat those eggs. It's more widespread than anyone could have guessed, and it's probably too late to do anything now. The entire ecosystem would be assimilated in days, the country weeks, the continent months. The earth has one year, and I hope my math is wrong. Thank you to the people interested in my investigation, please let me know what else I could do at this point, I'm not sure what else I could do unless God gives me the answers. Any and ALL information you can give about the snicker bug is to be reported, a second spent silent is a second spent dead.

Great movie. Fantastic work. I really loved the beginning scene where she stops the car, thinks about her decision, realizes something is off and drives away. Such a realistic moment.

That is, it is possible to be in that situation, driving down a road to a location and seeing what appears to be a drifter or possibly a person who got lost in the woods etc. Makes it so much more realistic. That entire scene just really captures the human intuition. It's brilliant work.

[@wzx6x6z6w]

The real realistic moment would be the woman just drive another 30 miles or so until she sees a small town and rest there. Not in a million years I would settle for a motel in the middle of nowhere while there are apparent drug users walking around bare footed.

[@NonniR]

@@wzx6x6z6w The thing about horror is that we (as viewers) are seeing it as a horror movie and are obviously suspicious of everything whereas the people in it are (presumably) just living their normal lives. Are you honestly telling me that you have never been in a situation where you decided on something that in retrospect could've gotten you hurt/killed? It's not that unreasonable for a person to go to a model late at night after driving for presumably a few hours, rather than going back home, especially if s/he is already tired. And seeing apparent drug users walking around isn't exactly that uncommon in some of the cities in the USA. But yeah of course, the smartest thing would've been to go all the way home.

SPOILERS BELOW: Can we take a moment to appreciate the characters in this short? They're smarter than the other 95% of horror film characters, I mean the woman with red hair bolts as soon as the head falls off, the protagonist immediately snatches her keys and goes out the back window, and the owner of the inn actually goes out of his way to protect his customers! All of this conveyed without a single word! It's just, I'm shocked with how good this is! I fell in love with each character by their actions alone, was sad that any of them perished. I don't feel that often if ever in horror media. EDIT: Yikes, okay guys I get it. Not everything they did were smart, in fact they did plenty of dumb things like you said. I'm just saying they did a lot of things smarter than the movies/ other horror media. Let's try to calm it down a tad, didn't mean to get people so upset.

He did look weirdly unphased but I doubt he would’ve encountered it before, look at how quickly and easily it mauled him. Also when you have a gun it usually will make you a lot more confident.

[@statelybasher6772]

Here's what I think whatever that thing is: It appears to be a slug/human/scorpion like creature, it does show intelligence due to it camouflaging itself and being able to at least turn a door knob, as well as knowing that guns are dangerous as it evades the gunfire, possibly due to the creature already sustaining an injury from a gun (I'll get into that in a second). Some of the comments say that this creature was a lab experiment gone wrong, and I completely agree, due to the first body having hospital clothes on. Back to the gunshot, I think that this creature is looking for a head to replace its own, I believe that the creature's head was blown off and it originally had a human like head with eyes like a slug's, I believe this due to it's everlasting hunt for a head, I believe that it uses the head as a replacement but replaces the eyes with it's slug like eyes. I believe it is killable, with enough fire power it could be killed, the only problem is it's speed, it makes Usain Bolt look like a turtle. Edit: I also think it has had a human like head in the past due to it knowing how to smile, it has probably never observed a human smile as their usually screaming in fear.

This is why a shotgun is an important defensive tool. Should a hostile worm-like bodysnatcher accost you, it's Agility may be too much for a Pistol to accurately handle. #4 buckshot is much more reliable for these types of moving targets. 00 Buck would probably work too, but you want the most pellets you can possibly get for a creature like this, where every shell could be the difference between you being a hero, or another host for the creature. I think the most reliable load for a monster of this type would be Steel Birdshot. Unless the monster moves faster than the eye can see, you're bound to hit it if you aim ahead of it's movements. Remember this! It could save your life one day.

Had to have been that way for a while too. The first host's head was long since dead and rotted

[@reapeatingrook9594]

Imagine the setting of where it would take place. A huge lab out in the woods. This creature they tried to create goes berserk. It starts slaughtering the scientist. I can picture a scene where a scientist is down a hall and sees a person but his glasses are dirty and his vision isn’t great. He takes off his glasses to clean them and puts them back on only to see that it’s not a person that he sees, but the creature. I can also picture how the last scene would go down. The original woman that the creature was using was actually a person to be experimented on in the lab. But due to the creature going berserk, she finds an opportunity to escape the facility into the woods. She’s lost and doesn’t know where to go. Luckily, she spots one of the scientist that probably escaped as well. She walks up to the scientist and taps their shoulder. As the scientist turns around, it reveals that the scientist is actually the creature and a jump scare happens. Then, the screen turns black. Suddenly, it cuts to a scene where it shows the woman’s legs as she walks down the side of the road. The screen then cuts to her face showing us that it’s the creature as well as faint headlights showing behind her leading to the first scene in this video. The end. Would you look at that, I just made my own prequel! XD I hope he sees this one day and gets inspired/motivated to make a prequel.

[@yourtypicaldude1261]

Here is what I think the monster is all about This creature is pretty smart by how it looks. You wouldn't wanna encounter it, because this thing would follow you across the earth until you were caught. It finds a target, then takes off the original head it uses and also uses its 'spikes' to decapitate you or just uses a blade/their hands. The thing climbs out of its last victims body and climbs in the newer, fresher one. It takes its form and puts on the head or skin of the victim. After that, it finds more victims to kill, basically disguising itself more so it wouldn't drive the victim off from fright. If the thing has no body, it could move at speeds where you couldn't run away from. This thing is pretty terrifying, Nobody knows how to actually kill it correctly, but I think you'd have to use a melee weapon or a gun. Slice it up, smash its head in, or shoot it a few times until your ammo is depleted. Thats all I know about this alien thing.
