So we're not the only ones who were both terrified for the boy, but also shed some tears at the end?

[@kebenanndavid3724]

That young man had me right there with him . I felt everything he felt . I thot he would get bitten trying to reach for phone . So happy he wasn't only to start crying cuz he was infected by the phone anyway . Bawling like a baby at the end 😥😥 Thanks Alter for having the absolute best horror/creepy shorts . Keep'em coming plz 😀❤

We all know that decision at the end would have never happened in real life. Still, the enticing development of the story, the music and well played roles make us shed some tears when we get to it. Well done.

[@000aleph]

This was absolutely soul-destroying. And absolutely, relentlessly brilliant.

[@GinaCas525]

THAT. WAS. BRILLIANT. 🤗 Young actor Luke Walford has a bright future ahead of him if casting directors have any sense! 😂 Seriously though, this kid made the film happen. What a darling boy! Director Martin Stalker packaged a one and a half hour neat film into 16 minutes, pulling out all the stops including a little comedy (the elder neighbor calling Zoran “Zoltar” & “Zoro”-I was hysterical!) during a very tense, tragic, and obviously scary time. When it comes to horror and “scary” movies, I personally prefer a supernatural theme but this really did it for me and as you can tell, I loved the acting. Way to go Alter!!! 🤩👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💋

Spoilers!!: This is one of the best horror shorts I have ever seen. It wasn’t cliche, it added unique ideas like the volcano being the cause of the outbreak. So many films try to make you feel empathy for the main character quickly by making it a pregnant woman or go for the dad just trying to take care of everyone cliche but this was such a great angle. In such a short time I felt drawn to the main character and was rooting for him. I hope he continues to pursue acting because he’s very talented. Great film 👍👍👍👍
