This doesn’t need to be a feature film. It’s absolutely perfect the way it is. I’m glad they’re making a comeback because people seem to have forgotten the beauty and simplicity in a short film.

[@mariajulien-harris146]

These short films need to be brought to the Big screen. Bravo great work.

[@avaryyy389]

[@Witchofthewoods.]

A lot of them are if you watch anthologies.

[@peppino3609]

Like before a big One

[@raymondweston8997]

While I agree that these are good short horror movies. In my opinion; once you translate it to the movie theater, then it becomes a Hollywood production. You run the risk of loosing, artistic / creative control; in favor of pleasing the masses, and loosing your core audience. It’s a rare occurrence; that small screen creative work, converts authentically to the “Big Screen”.

[@Witchofthewoods.]

The big screen sucks. They don't respect the horror genre anyway. If you know where to look you can see short films at festivals and anthologies.

[@ticauvia]

ONLY 1K SUBSCRIBERS?! THIS CHANNEL NEEDS WAY MORE! I LITTERLY GOT ANXIOUS WATCHING THIS

[@prestofilms]

The rhyming clues were a really novel inclusion thought it added quite a unique feel to this short. Good job 👍

[@jondye4939]

WELL DONE FROM CONCEPT TO SCREEN THIS WAS BEAUTIFULLY DONE. HAT TIP TO ALL WHO HAD A HAND IN MAKING THIS GEM!! SADLY THERE ARE SICKOS LIKE THIS OUT THERE!!

[@cappsie1]

Fantastic. Outstanding. Brilliantly terrifying and deliciously gory. Well done. More, please.

[@ScotsGal]

What a great movie....for me the creepy part is the randomness of the killer and his victims ...at the end when he sees the couple at the lake ...just makes you realise anyone could be watching you with bad intentions .. fantastic guys ..well done👏👏

[@elombard39]

I Loved. This! More please & thank you for posting.

[@neni5617]

this deserves way more views, i really loved it

[@prof.vonspooky4562]

I've watched this a few times; I love it!!!! More!! More!!! More!!! Also, dude deserved to get got because he didn't know his lady's penmanship.

[@atimidbirb]

This xD like bruh they have been together at least a few years

[@Msmary98-98]

This was awesome! Really loved the little notes scattered throughout the house. I’m subbing❤

[@tamsmith6751]

Its painfully obvious that the killer is not only a sadist but a psychopath and cannibal. This shows a level that I would consider a monster above everything else/

[@ladykalimir7550]

What a great horror film! Bravo! I really enjoyed it! I’m sharing this movie with my Facebook group.

[@bigjam7864]

Beautifully done!

[@docholliday9396]

i liked this and it reminds me of the strangers.

[@scottwilliams5241]

Holy shit, brilliantly made! Deeply unsettling...

[@s.a.l948]

Loved everything about this!

[@brianshaner8865]

This was fucking amazing. No reason for the killer’s motive or any connection to the couple. Just a fucked up serial killer who likes to stalk his prey, pretend to play a scavenger hunt, carve out eyes and eat them. Absolutely loved it. Hope to see more from you all. And I read the other comment about the different actresses and their hair color…awesome remedy for the problem. If something NEEDS to get done, sometimes you have to improvise. I have to deal with improvisation at work sometimes. Don’t run the risk of relying on others to help you finish it!

[@deadbrosvideos]

Thank you Brian for the kind words and the feedback. Yes you’re absolutely right, some days are tougher then others, we had to improvise that day 😅 We’re very glad you enjoyed the short film though. We’ll be doing our best to keep the content up!

[@000aleph]

Really don't see why this got an award

[@directedbycolak29]

Great work! Keep it up. Can't wait to see more.

Loved it!

[@PaulysRide]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. You go to the head of the class. A+ Great premise! Looking forward to your next project! What else have you done? That can’t be your first!!!!

[@deadbrosvideos]

Thank you Paul for the kind words 🖤 we have done some other short films in the past. We recently decided to start sharing them, while we work on our feature length film. In between that, we’ll be doing our best to keep making short films for you guys to watch and enjoy! Thanks for replying and for lovely words.

[@laurarhodes8170]

I loved this!! I was drawn in right away. I’m going right now to check out your other videos. Amazing!

[@ValentiNa_90]

This may be the best short horror i have ever seen 😮

[@jessicaalbright7961]

Wow, absolutely amazing. Had my heart racing the whole time!! You can really feel the emotion, probably the best horror short I've seen in a while!!

[@ashleyloki4457]

Amazing! Amazing!!! You guys should submit to Alter, they have a huge following and more people need to see these shorts of yours!

[@lifeishard74]

I forgot I had already watched this before, but I didn't really remember it all. I loved this one! That guy was one sick and twisted psychopath, damn! Especially the part where he ate the guy's eyeball, ewww. It looked so realistic especially the girlfriend in the tub. All that blood literally everywhere and her eyes gone too, that was some scary shi* but the gorier/scarier the better. This was definitely a 10/10, oh ya and that guy's mask was really cryptic as well, so creepy!

[@staceywebber8808]

This was awesome everything about this is perfect, the couple the notes the music an the best bit not revealing who was behind the mask ❤️

[@HodorDoor]

Not really. It just makes it gratuitous gore. There's not even a hint as to why the killer is acting the way he is. Eh, not my cup of tea.

[@atesharamjit91]

Amazing!! Great film!!

[@bananaman-we1xs]

Savage horror, could do a sequel for this

[@kentuckyjerk323]

Sad these short movies are better than modern hollywood horror films. Every horror today is unoriginal or a reboot/remake of older movies.

[@dianefarlow9759]

Loved this awesome video 📹 loved to have seen him

[@jasonhouser9773]

Great job! This should be a feature film and a gorno-slasher hybrid! Also the haunting sounds of the violins give me Prowler-vibes! Excellent work!

[@ladya3302]

This was so good! 👏🏾

[@GuiltyKit]

I'm not going to lie. The first half was really good but it wasn't until the last that the whole thing became 10-times creepier. Awesome.

[@CanadianRoadTrips]

Good video. Keep continuing your work

[@diontaedaughtry974]

Fantastic

[@Sidar800]

I was wondering how the guy knew so much about them but the ending explained that pretty creepy to think about.

[@chrispenny3965]

Beautiful set....magnificent music....🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖

[@nrgao]

The opening of this reminds me of Mac Millers “Watching Movies” track. For that reason alone, I must leave a like.

[@DeeTee79]

Really enjoyed it

[@navinsmagicalnotes1458]

Title justifies the movie😂 well done

[@JohnnyCrackerJack]

Them gas prices is enough to kill me..

[@theempireofjudah9315]

This is Dr. Phil in a alternate universe.

[@deathwebMXXN]

This- was- FIRRREE!!!!!

[@noturavgMeg]

Absolutely loved it 😍👏🏾🫶🏾 it’s like ‘Gone Girl’ but with a horror story twist and this time it actually was someone else who was doing all the crazy stuff instead of the wife/gf being behind it all

[@POPFILMSproductions]

I really loved this. Great direction and editing. I feel like the couple fighting in the beginning and the second couple noticing the killer wasn’t necessary for the story, but that’s just opinion! Bravo 👏🏻

[@twiztidsteve6]

I don't think the second couple noticed him. I don't understand why they looked confused when he took the picture.

[@TheBlairWenchProject]

_Wait so was HE the takeout that they ordered?_ 😩😂

[@tumblingdown]

Great ending. It ties everything together so creepily.

[@alisonmary1443]

So intriguing, killer character is creepy weird, really enjoyed this, Thank You! Well done.

[@lucindafitchett5038]

Well that was brilliant! Where did you film? The lake and park setting is gorgeous

[@deadbrosvideos]

Thank so much! We filmed most of it in Oakville Ontario the park was down on lake shore

[@eradonis2883]

But why the eyes? I watched it twice and still couldn't figure it out.. unless it's all "only have eyes for you" type of thing.

[@godsproject0]

Bit basic but really well executed. Congrats

[@adriennereyes5976]

This had me like 👀💀🤟💀🤟

Now tgat was great

[@THE-ERADICATOR]

Can ya rhyme something with fart mr.killer? Cause I farted right when you were sipping ya coffee 😲

[@Witchofthewoods.]

This film is fantastic! Absolutely terrifying, creepy and leaves you wondering. Who's this lunatic...maybe a jilted lover or a serial killer who loves killing romantically linked couples. 🌹 He's got me wanting more. You've gotta do part 2,3,4....🙏

[@kirtywright1974]

Ok. I’m legitimately confused. Why is there a blonde Emma, and another who is brunette? So if the brunette is in the tub? Where is the blonde gone to?🤨

[@deadbrosvideos]

Hey Kirty! Thanks for watching and giving us feedback. The body is actually Emma in the tub. We were trying to trick the audience that her hair was covered in blood from the bathtub water. Due to having a different actress that day. We had to compromise.

[@kirtywright1974]

@@deadbrosvideos thank you!! I actually did think that? I cannot tell you how many time’s I kept rewinding it? Going back to the start. Or the photo on the bench. Thinking he’s been caught out cheating? Or? Was it supposed to represent blood throughout her hair? Cheer’s for the feedback😊 Loved it otherwise!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Great production!💯

[@sigmacademy]

@@kirtywright1974 From what I got from it, was that the "killer" you see at the end, is essentially the husband's "dark side" right at the beginning of their relationship, or you can interpret it as the guy was always a serial killer, and his wife kinda minimized those feelings, but it was brought back again when their relationship fell apart. What you are seeing, is more or less the good and evil side of the husband in the short. :/

[@americanitalianisrael4008]

THIS IS EXCELEENT IN EVERY LEVEL. AND SCARY AS HECK. SO MUCH SO THAT I WAS THINKING OF NOT SEEING ANYMORE HORROR SHIT. THAT IS HOW GOOD THIS IS. COULD BE A FULL MOVIE. I BET HORROR LIKE THIS TRULY HAPPENS IN THE WORLD. TIME TO SEE A COMEDY.

Who made the mask for the killer? Looks like ToxicFX or Pumpkin Pulp lol excellent slasher short

[@deadbrosvideos]

Our friends over at Fear of the dark studios who specialize in sculpture/SPFX took the reins to physically create the mask. As for the concept, that was created and sketched out by one of the brothers Julian Vetrone 🧟‍♂️🤘

[@LivingDeadDetroiter313]

@@deadbrosvideos is it possible to snag a copy?

[@sigmacademy]

@@deadbrosvideos Might want to think about asking the Fear of the Dark Studios people if they have thought about merchandising stuff like that mask. Some horror fans are mask enthusiasts! ;)

[@airaobregon-jg9ws]

Nasaan ang hustisya?!.. Matutulog na lng ba lagi ang Diyos?..😢

[@andrewhancock2451]

How very interesting. A film with no redeeming qualities other than the fact that it was well shot. No story, no motive, other than to indulge one's depravities. I've watching a lot of horror simply because they had some indication of being award winning, but lately, I realize that horror has been interpretted as depravity. I skip to the end when I start to see films go that way. This is one that I should have done that with.

[@mr.smooth4433]

[@andrewhancock2451]

@@mr.smooth4433 Just gotta love it when people respond to critical commentary with... *insightful* *profound* thoughts about the film.

I’m glad you bolded ‘insightful profound’ as if your opinion is either of those. 😂😂😂 Darker text doesn’t make it true no matter how much you’d like it to be LOL You’re funny, thanks for the laugh.

[@andrewhancock2451]

@@mr.smooth4433. You do realize that I was commenting on your reply? You're absolutely right that it was lacking in any substance. Do you have anything to say about the film itself or are you just "offended" by commentary on the film? This is, after all, a comment section on the film's page. Yes, it's obvious, but apparently not to everyone.

[@mr.smooth4433]

It’s more so your approach.. you’ve created nothing, yet critique like you have. I find it funny when people share their non redeeming commentary with no other motive than to indulge one’s own depravities. Seems like it hits a little close to home for you.. maybe stop projecting and look in the mirror. Nothing is all good or all bad and if you haven’t realized that yet, there’s still time. Appreciate your opinion Andrew!

I don’t get it! The chick in the beginning was a blonde, and the bathtub girl was a brunette. So was he having an affair with the blonde? And then they broke up? Then he went home to his wife and she was murdered in the tub? I don’t get it. Sorry.

[@Krystal-us2ml]

Yeah, I was thinking something like that too, but then I thought it was just all the blood that stained her hair. 🤷‍♀️
