So two women think they see someone/thing inside their dorm but then decide to try and follow it outside?

[@taracollins5597]

I thought that was odd too, but I think it was a curiosity-killed-the-cat type situation. I've seen it in real life, people see disturbing people right near their home & want to get a look at them...at least from a distance....to see where they go or what they look like, in case they return. In this case, unfortunately, they found out their 'disturbing person' was supernatural.

[@taracollins5597]

Not to mention the woman doesn't even run out or yell to help her friend! Wow. But she gets a karmic surprise a few seconds later.....

[@Mcoryr]

Not sensible.

[@xman1683]

Yeah it makes no sense

[@agm_by_rma]

I think they were trying to be anywhere but in their dwellings.

[@taracollins5597]

I liked this, the cinematography was well-used. I also love how you let us SEE the Baddie, for more than 2 seconds! You also made it clear it was a supernatural being. Good work.

[@sidney.foster]

Thank you so much!

[@VividPagan]

Excellent use of lighting (super creepy!), and I really love the shots you chose.

[@sidney.foster]

Thank you so much!!

[@toycamera6112]

Oooh! As a filmmaker, I love the lighting, everything looks dark, creepy, and mysterious! Thanks for the video! Dropping you a like!!

[@sidney.foster]

Thank you!! That really means a lot :)

[@toycamera6112]

@@sidney.foster I always appreciate good lighting in horror. :) I actually talk about it in one of my own videos. A lot of my content centers on filmmaking tips, film analysis, etc.

[@officialchuprov]

Wow, reminded me of some Swedish horror movies' atmosphere. You've got a new subscriber❤

[@Iso_800]

Wow! So nice!!!

[@a.p.e.x3195]

I just realized.....that person reminded me a LOT (in appearance) of Richard Ramirez...

[@DCPL1214]

Bro is responsible for my nightmare 😂😂😂

[@M.A.C1994]

Excelente👍🏼

[@Narkyyy]

What a intriguing story. But one thing i had a issue with was the chase scene, it was too zoomed in and a bit too shaky, but the lighting that you chose for this Short Horror film was really good. This is not a bad start but these are my only critics about it. I hope this helps for the future, you have a great career ahead man, Keep it up!

[@sidney.foster]

Thanks! That was a stylistic choice but also still building my style so I appreciate the advice.

[@Glitterhead]

Good and scary

[@Dejaunapeterson]

Loved it

[@RohitBSrivastava]

Brilliant film! 🌟👏 So captivating and inspiring! 🎥 How did you approach the editing process for the film?

[@sidney.foster]

Thank you! My friend did the brunt of it (in DaVinci), but would work with me on it and show me what he did so I could alter it so it really fit my vision! It was so much fun.

[@RohitBSrivastava]

@@sidney.foster Would you be open to participating in a podcast to discuss your experience making this film?

Spooky scary love love

[@NightFogFilms]

Was this a first time or attempt at a horror short? Not bad.

[@sidney.foster]

Yes, thank you! With lots of help of course.

[@NightFogFilms]

@@sidney.foster Awesome. I'm trying to put together my next project myself.

[@danrocker3855]

Why?

[@laszlobabits94]

I went to high school with Sidney at university of Toronto metropolitan university

[@isaiahm6536]

I went to 3rd grade there

[@sidney.foster]

My favourite high school!!

[@sidney.foster]

@@isaiahm6536 I thought I saw you there

[@TheFireline]

This makes no sense

[@taracollins5597]

Its a basic horror, two women follow a strange man in their dorm......only to find out he is not a man..not a human one, anyway.

[@agm_by_rma]

I think they got creeped out and wanted to either investigate or clear their minds or were just running/avoiding the situation but sh!t went down either way.

[@ach6239]

No close caption 😱

[@dustymustard8474]

👏👏👏

[@diannadolly]

Creepy

[@Galaxy-ud3yj]

I didn't get it

[@taracollins5597]

I think it was showing us that the killer was supernatural, not human. Because there is no way he could be chasing her friend & then appear right next to her in a few seconds.

[@carcosa_swamp]

not good

[@PLAY4_FUN]

The best short horror movie ever made 🤣🤣🤣

[@sidney.foster]

Huge honor hahaha thank you

[@akilla2749]

Quite Kiyoshi Kurosawa coded hmmm...

[@sidney.foster]

Hmmmm... must be a coincidence

[@jasonnilson8108]

What’s does that mean

[@sidney.foster]

@@jasonnilson8108 Haha just that this was very inspired by Kiyoshi Kurosawa's work

[@mauricexanthos3683]

I didn't find this short story of any value. Needed more work.

[@CaitieKay22]

I felt the same way.

[@Bichonben1963]

Quite creepy but no real story or script just walking about in the dark 🥱
