Closet Space -Short Film

[@TimZoet]

I felt more terrified during this video than any other. Normally you kinda know what to expect and you just jump scare once or twice. But the waiting and not knowing what was coming was literally 'horror'

[@amuzedchipmunk7914]

Bro what 😭

[@Hasuo2001]

This is one of the best short horror films I've ever seen. No ghosts appear, from unrealistic methods to realistic problems... It's been 7 years since I saw it for the first time when I was 14 years old!

[@CZsWorld]

Who else thought opening the closet on doll was going to be a jump scare? I like the direction you took instead. Glad to see you still doing shorts.

[@thatguy4048]

Me lol

[@NeddySpaghettiEdits]

Hi Zack. Love the IT horror history!

[@DGVFX]

Me too for me it might be his best short along with lights out!

[@ThisIsWellMalik]

I was turning down the volume lol

[@MrJakeKale]

Very cool! Though personally, I would've put money in there first.

[@z-beeblebrox]

Clearly, David had his wallet in his pocket and she was just trying to be efficient XD

[@vladdracul5072]

As is to be expected of the ordinary human.

[@pauld.7636]

Same

[@billyandrew]

*an alien* Forty-one seconds into the vid and the same thought crossed my mind. 😜😂

[@Blaqsnake]

Start with a dollar then move up every denomination until you get to gold bricks. 😉

[@alekos9777]

Who else was waiting for a jump scare when Lotta opened and closed the closet?

[@ponysmasher]

+alekos9777 That's what we want, for people to not know when things like that will happen :-)

[@heyfriend7169]

Me

[@dawnsummerstar]

+ponysmasher I'm thankful there was none XD. I was totally expecting all the dolls to merge into one, come to life and get her. But yours was much more creative, open-ended, and suspenseful. What happens with the new duels? Who were the real clones? *You guys did a fantastic job!! :D*

[@hristoraikov2423]

everyone maybe!?!!?!

[@7ratsinasoup317]

alekos9777 me especially for the dolls I expected to see a big version of it

[@TheLight965]

This was terrifying, I didn't know what to expect the whole time, especially when David disappeared. And then the ending was a great use of that fine line between comedy and horror, had me chuckling.

[@YouthSalad]

Here's my interpretation: The closet is a portal to an alternate dimension. If you put items in the closet it takes the items away from the original dimension (basically stealing the doll from another alternate Lotta). If you put a person in the portal he/she is teleported to an alternate dimension. Basically meaning Lotta and David by the end of this short are either stranded/stuck on an alternate dimension and they would have to step back into the closet to escape. Whole lot of jargin but that's just what I got from the short.

[@shaktishivanand624]

Thank you I was wondering about this

[@Luanxxxxx]

I just watched it and I could go even further saying that this could be a Hilbert's paradox of the Grand Hotel

[@levitate8364]

That doll has the same face as the thing in lights out

[@levitate8364]

Ayy sweet

[@PandoraChun]

It is her, he's making the film currently so probably a little heads up to that 😜

[@tiffanykershpalmer2143]

yeah that's what I noticed too. I was scares that the doll was going to get bigger and be like the other film lights out haha

Wtf are you on about? Who hasen't got 50 in the wallet? Or 10 even lol

[@Starteller]

or her wedding ring

[@Larissa.deoliveira]

Why not a 100?

[@eyecomeinpeace2707]

This really is one of the most creative and best shorts I've seen so far. Good work!

[@copaceticetal]

I want a sequel to this showing the four of them (the couple and their dopplegangers) living together now, just being really crowded and annoyed with each other (themselves). There's a line for the bathroom every morning. They go through all the food and toiletries twice as fast, which causes tension until one of them remembers that they can just double their supplies via the closet. To celebrate they cook a big dinner (which they double) and then afterward one of the Lottas suggests that they can play a board game to pass the time. One of the Davids gets up announcing that he thinks they have "Clue" pit away somewhere on the ground floor. The two Lottas and the remaining David hear the closet door open and shut. They jump up screaming: "No, not that one!" And scene.

[@Ari-ll1wp]

You're the new writer, good one

[@fagneresprocate1423]

[@ilikeceral3]

Will you continue making shorts with that actress? She's great.

[@ponysmasher]

+ilikeceral3 Of course, we do everything together. And we're married 😊

[@AdmSan10]

That's cool, it will be seen that movie too? I was imagined that she wanted two David kkkkk I'm from Brazil and I really liked the movie, but that final was a bit tragic? I wanted a happy ending for the mother of the character.

[@seeker6798]

+Intimidation I like the sound of that

[@litaiero1139]

[@katelynlenhart7734]

+ponysmasher I have my moments lol. Keep up the good work... I just binge watched all your short films and I'm now convinced you'd need to stick my mind in the closet a million times and even then my ideas wouldn't even come close.

[@anjalisasikumar567]

[@MarvashMagalli]

When I realized the closet was duplicating stuff, I was like "put money in it!!! "

[@ponysmasher]

+AntOrunese That was the original idea but we didn't have any cash laying around so we used the doll instead.

I Love your shorts! Lotta, in all of them, really does capture the fear on camera!

[@lionwalkproductions]

The feet passing by was bit horrifying for me. Absolutely loved it. It hurts my brain that I can't think up something so brilliant

[@alancastaneda8322]

If you think of all these shorts as one film, it can go one of two ways. Comedic, she's too stupid to abandon the haunted apartment, thus shenanigans ensue! Tragic horror, she's living a nightmare, more so, if she's suffering from schizophrenia. Maybe, final thought, the story is a mystery and fantasy, a la "Pan's Labyrinth", with a tragic ending or twist. Great material, you two!

[@madnessbydesignVria]

Well told stories on a small budget. Nicely done! I think this one and Lights Out are my favorites so far...

[@josephnorris9838]

On a small budget? I can make this same video for $0 in 15 minutes using my iPhone lmao.

[@darvinde]

@@josephnorris9838 0$ is also small.

[@universalindierec]

Oh man. Your short films are soooooo damn awesome. YOu take simple ideas (that I honestly wouldn't have thought of) and make them soooo interesting. I'm working on my first short horror film so I'm studying EVERYTHING... and your shorts stand out so much more than damn near anyone else.

[@drgunless585]

Imagine the other end. You put in one hanger, hear a strange noise, and then find it missing. Then you decide to put in 2 for some reason etc etc. Not only that but you put in 1 doll and then 2 more. WHY DID THE OTHER WOMAN HAVE 3 OF THOSE CREEPY DOLLS? Apparently, her grandma loved her very... very much? Perhaps she thought it would be a good way to get rid of them. This coin can flip both ways. On a second note, I enjoyed the surreal scenario. It gave me the spooks so thank you!

[@nightwind124]

While your horror is somewhat repetitive, you are becoming one of my favourite directors just because of the way you describe your filmmaking progress. You just seem like a guy who genuinely loves making short films, and who is just pleasantly surprised that he got to make a Hollywood block buster.
