the URGE the scrape those barnacles off is making me itch

[@wikusvandemerwe7251]

💯😵‍💫 damn YES!!!!!!!!

[@dylanjamesryan9432]

Isnt that why he grabbed the guys hand and dragged it on his face barnacles

[@poppypanache]

Same!

[@rolindabrown5629]

Ngl he wouldn't have had to ask me twice to " put him back".

[@13crowintuitivestarot]

Lmao right 🤣🤣🤣

[@gnocchidokey]

man knows what he wants, who am I to ignore his wishes

[@papajaighh2605]

In Haitian lore, we have spirits called lwa. These spirits are sometimes ancestors, sometimes Gods, and sometimes greater. In our lore, the water spirits (known as simbi) and the mermaids are known to take people under the water with them. Unlike European and Greco-Roman lore, the water spirits of Haiti (actually ALL Arawak tribes have this lore) do not drown you but embue with power, knowledge, or partnership (with the underwater deity) BUT you HAVE to do EVERYTHING they say, you cannot miss or pine for home, and time moves differently. It seems like them catching him interfered with the plans of the water deity (Haitians call her La Sirene but there are others like Filomez) and because of that She decided to punish them. The man speaking Haitian Kreyol was supposed to be a clue to the nature of what was haunting them. I wish it was longer though. I enjoyed it.

[@orlandoromero22]

Really liked your comment. Learn something everyday. Thanx

[@sauceoftheboot]

Thanks for the info! Makes me want to learn more about Haitian lore

[@papajaighh2605]

@@sauceoftheboot people know us as just being poor and doing voodoo but our religion js actually the culture that the Arawak Indians and Displaced Africans combined. There's so much history hidden in the lore. It's also very different from traditional African voodoo. I think if you love stories like this, you will love the entire lore

[@sauceoftheboot]

@@papajaighh2605 Do you know of any books on Haitian lore? I'd be interested in looking into it

[@papajaighh2605]

@@sauceoftheboot I'm going to get back to you on some that I think you can take from. Most of the books are written for "practice" so it's more "ritual and offering" and so the lore is lost. If I decide to talk about this more, I'll definitely link you. In the meantime, I will definitely look up that book list for you bud

[@JustaThinkr]

*Who lives in a pineapple under the sea.* This guy. Definitely this guy.

[@Say_No-2_Animal-Abuse_]

Barnacle Boy! 🤣

[@mattmiller3714]

Should have been longer. Enjoyed it though . Was it about mermaids or Haitian loas? The guy didn't say kiyès ki tap vinn pou li an

[@papajaighh2605]

He said "She's coming" so most likely it was the lwa. When you get taken and you dont do what they say, you either get sent back or you get punished or some variation of that.

[@ATI726]

Sorry.. I didn’t get the story.

[@dginc.4582]

u cant because it is purposely unfinished and half made in order to appeal to those who like supposed "short" and finish the story for ur self "modern "films.

[@Dubs22005]

we're introduced to human scenario of humans smuggling themselves to some place they pick up a straggler who has seen/escaped something (sea devil) maybe straggler infects them or something they argue to save him or get rid of him fisherman is affected by the paranormal thing illegal immigrants choose to abandon fisherman's boat but sea devil was still around it shows up at the end and seems to be a creature covered in barnacles they likely die or maybe the cycle repeats depending on how the viewer wants to flesh out the creature in their heads

[@knaveofchalices]

@@Dubs22005 While it's hard to see, the screams and the shape of the creature makes me think that it's a mass of bodies...

[@orlandoromero22]

​@knaveofchalices that's how I took it too, a bunch of bodies with all those things over them, that are making me itch all over right now, barnacles

[@magnetdesignandadver]

That ending! Now we need a sequel asap

[@mrx1333]

This was really good! Loved the atmosphere of the movie! I loved that shot from underwater looking up at the boat, great shot!! It ended too quickly! I wanted to know what that thing was coming up from the water. Great job to all involved!! Creepy movie!

[@jakederanged7295]

R'lyeh! I rarely see short horror films that I find halfway decent. This one thoroughly impresses me. Very Lovecraftian.

[@tkell31]

Sometimes you have to throw your catch back. This was one of those times.

[@jijel24]

my trypophobia and thalassophobia could never

[@LilSecretWitch]

Mild trypophobic, I was itching to scrap those and was simultaneously closing eyes! (Also neat toya pfp for 4 koma)

[@AshlinzleBoo]

Right making my skin itch

[@desertbluffs7113]

So mermaid 🧜‍♀️/barnacle monster wants her toy back?

[@benjaminshealey7451]

What the heck was that floating in the water!?

[@offdutyenglishmajor9924]

It's hard to tell, but it looked like a mass of bodies.

[@TaleDreamer]

A mass of screaming barnacled human bodies stuck together as a single entity. That is some Junji Ito-tier shit right there.

[@benjaminshealey7451]

@@TaleDreamer Damn! That would definitely keep me out of any body of water!

[@Dubs22005]

this coulda been a slideshow but cool story it's like a director had access to a boat and wanted to do a horror short with it

[@insidemovieshindi5895]

Sea devil❌ pineapple devil ✅😂😂😂

[@darrinlong8038]

so what the hell was on the rock island at the end could not make out what it was

[@creationzikaz4836]

The real horror is the amount of content Alter recycles.

[@missyTL]

Well it's not their fault.... short films takes time to make...

[@creationzikaz4836]

@@missyTL Alter doesn't make any films, they're just a platform who distribute the films other people make. As for potential solutions, updating once a week could work. The reason why the updates are so frequent is simply for channel growth. They didn't use to be that way, but releases have started being more and more aggressive and they can't keep up with their schedule and end up recycling content. Their approach for channel growth has become unsustainable and the content quality has gone downhill because of that. As long as people don't care, it won't be a problem, fortunately for them.

[@user-td3zl1hf5n]

Why is everything so hard to see?

[@michelledevan1789]

It's always so bloody dark looking no matter how bright I make my screen argh

[@rudevalve]

Certified Gold!!!!!

[@goslushfundme]

Lol the captions say (singing in foreign language) when Sister Nancy is clearly singing in english.

[@Nyah143]

The real barnacle boy 😭

[@amateurcolourist]

Please make a sequel 🙏

[@parikshitjani79]

Alter then 🔥 Alter now 💀☠️.

[@quintork4100]

When was the end?

[@leonierochester462]

Not everything is on Google. Remember that it's people who put out information in it.🎉

[@ItsHannahClark]

Love your short films

[@GnarfleTheGarthok]

Was this posted on KZbin previously? I could swear I saw this on KZbin months ago.

8:37 "Hey, over here!" Creepy!

[@user-mi8wq3oy3c]

What's that song at the beginning

[@vaevobis3589]

This made no sense when I saw it on Dust a long time ago and it still makes no sense. Didn't fish... I meant, didn't finish.

They recycle tons of content, get used to it, it's getting worse and worse.

[@charisargos317]

Excelente corto 👍 una pregunta como se llama la canción que ponen de fondo al principio de la película 🎥 😊

[@GeminiCloudTech]

Bam Bam by Sister Nancy. It's an old-school reggae song.

thanks Sherlock I thought this was definitely real

[@josephinechiu7778]

No beginning and no ending, what kind of short movie is that ??!!

[@samir_bapu]

Poor story. Worst bgm and awful acting. Damn who made this meaningless and hopeless short.

[@TheAndybow1964]

Have to agree. I'm a big fan of beginning middle and end. This could be be summed up as weird thing happened, no idea why how or what happened.

[@missyTL]

Ya mama

[@catsclub12566]

Meh

[@mercyanozie]

Bad acting. Confusing storyline. Very unsatisfactory. Maybe there's a deeper meaning somewhere in there, but i just didn't get it. No horror either... just managed to trigger my trypophobia. 1/10

[@Nevtonhawley]

It was good acting

[@mercyanozie]

@@Nevtonhawley It really wasn't

[@kentroglobalinvestmentllc8921]

It’s like the people shooting it and acting actually fell asleep at times or zoned completely out. They just stare at a spot for several seconds, zero words, zero movement, just like oh we are filming ? Plot 2/10, photography and makeup 4/10,

[@MrCaulen]

Mid as fuck
