Director did an amazing job in creating a truly frightening environment. Thank you to all for great short. Can’t wait to see more!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@curtischildress9580]

I agree 100%. Outstanding work at dark metaphorical storytelling on a very real subject of mental abuse in relationships.

Just goes to show, you don't need a big Hollywood budget, just quality production!👍👍💖💞

[@grantellis2840]

And this garbage had non of any of that, terrible B grade production and a budget of under $1000, most of would have been spent on food. I'm always a little wary when the film crew, production, producers, sound crew, caterer, medical crew and other needed people out number the actors.

[@gisella894]

because of Covid-19 , its been weeks "Stay at Home" boring life. but when I watched this short horror movie, my boredom is gone. This is a must watch movie.

[@raedgaj3878]

So many ways to interpret this movie, from a gory horror angle, the depths of addiction to frightening psychosis, great pace & build up, very well made. The Jess actress is totally invested in the character & the Triffid plant predator is always a terrifying concept. I'll hope to see more work from FFP, thanks.

[@Brenda-r8d]

Oh TRIFFID ….. groovy Star Trek reference

[@raedgaj3878]

@@Brenda-r8d I believe you're mixing Triffid's with Tribbles? The Triffids invaded Earth in a Meteor shower, [1963 movie] & the brightness of entering our atmosphere blinded those who watched the spectacle.

Made me think of The Ruins and Psycho at the same time. A good one.

The cinematography was extremely easy to follow with the story, it wasn’t to short or to drawn out & the lead actress deserves to be awarded for her performance. Well done! :)

[@LadyMoonsparrow]

I love how the amazing scenery was at once menacing and really beautiful, the overview shots were gorgeous and frightening. What a wonderful setting for this truly chilling tale that has such a deeper message of abuse. Excellent film.

[@lochnesslegends]

Really loved the suspense you guys! It was all very well set up, and your performances sold it perfectly! I’ve loved watching your ‘found footage’ horror movies ever since I first saw your film “THE MUSEUM PROJECT” back in 2016. I live in Australia too, and you guys have inspired me to make several short films of my own. I really do understand how hard it is to work with such a small budget, and I think you guys are extremely talented! P.S. Thank you for reading this comment! And I can’t wait to see what else you make in the future, God bless!

[@carnitagroves7758]

I wonder whether its a movie industry policy for movie makers to make their horror film characters utterly incapable of staying together or following each other when outdoors.😂😅😂😂

Really great editing! I also loved that twist/shift at the end. Strong, and fun, way to end things.

while watching this i kept saying this guys an ass tell him your done the ending floored me . i so wanted the grove monster .what we do to each other is real horror .i prefer monsters .i come from abuse so i try to avoid and stick with monsters .this was so well done and acted if i could give out awards you would win 1 .all around and the acting great job thank you

[@curtischildress9580]

Pretty girl becomes abuse victim of handsome evil boyfriend. People should realize how this story happens in reality in real relationships. This story uses deep dark wild horrifying visual metaphorical drama to emphasize how severe these situations can become. I think this short film is brilliantly done presenting a solid effort toward raising awareness of these type relationships...they're so often hidden inside this busy world where victims become lost though they might be publically seen...abusers can be very crafty at disguising their crimes.

[@julicastillo206]

Nice nice niceeeeee. Boyfriend’s acting was spot on with abusive gaslighting. I wasn’t sure if that’s what he was doing at first bc as a victim of gaslighting it is extremely hard to pin point if you’re not looking for it or don’t know the signs. Left me feeling really distressed listening to him and watching her reactions because that’s how it really looks and feels. Hit home. Nicely done.

[@nicholassudov2299]

Well-done. Thanks... Hehe - "Stay on the Path" [where we planted land-mines]? Those weed-tentacles! I instantly recalled "Evil Dead 2". herbicides, only herbicides! Run, baby, run. And send back some copters with Dioxin.// Also reminded me "The Willows" by good old Algernon Blackwood.... And the attempt to escape from nightmarish dreamscape - "Elm Street"...Poor girl.
