Horror Short Film "Spell on You" | ALTER

Hi everyone ! I'm Sarah Lasry, I wrote and directed "Spell on you". Thank you @ALTER for showcasing our work ! Thrilled for our film to stream on this platform !

Hi girl take long make it

@SarahLasry Ma'am I couldn't understand anything. Please explain!!!

[@LotsofLisa]

I loved this! So haunting and visually stunning. Even without the warts, this household was a freak show of dysfunction. When her father slapped her, I knew it was the beginning of the end. The way she started to cast the spell by smearing his hate hit all over her body was one of the most intense things I’ve ever seen. The ritualistic dance she did was raw, animalistic and absolutely enchanting. Excellent. I have never…

What a great story about becoming a young witch. ❤ If you are a witch you just know what to do and how to do without any google or books. 👍 I love it

[@paullevine1813]

What a fine little gem , we get a bit of everything from love to hate & all things in between including revenge & Witchcraft . I felt bad for her real mom even if she was little to no help to the child nor was her sister . A fine job by all especially this little girl for showing she acts' as well as an adult . Slow to start but she was a fast learner on casting spells & seeking revenge to become a little Witch & well on her way to growing up to be a force to be reckoned with.

[@agriswold2009]

Thank you so much for sharing your chilling short horror film.

[@sarahlasry6908]

@@user-lx7ey4do1h Thanks so much for your questions and feedback ! 1. I'd say Salomé learns about her powers through her doctor/dermatologist, but her mother isn't so much a witch... she's more afraid to express what she really feels. 2. Ines did some dance but isn't a trained dancer however she was extremely professional during the shoot and even choreographed some of the dance herself with our choreographer... 3. Salomé runs into the dark wearing her Mother's red dress and a broom... yes, it's definitely symbolic , she's also running away from a toxic home... 4. I'd love to !! Working on some new projects now, but will definitely come back to this story as it's a very personal story, also inspired by my own childhood...

@@sarahlasry6908 Outstanding Sarah 👏 You were blessed with a cast that brought their A -game! ( Freud stated, children fall in love with the opposite gender parent ) Was Ines in love with her dad, then felt scorned by him for her skin issue Nad her confusion at the adult world of s3x?

[@magnetdesignandadver]

Wow that was very well done. And very captivating. A child doing witchcraft - very disturbing. Also a commentary on how parents may do whatever they want without thinking of the effects their actions have on their children. Great work!

[@sarahlasry6908]

Exactly !! Feel like you've totally understood the film, thanks for watching ;)

[@nimesh0775]

Also how negative body shaming only makes the body worse

[@magnetdesignandadver]

@@nimesh0775 As a result of being teased and mocked relentlessly for the shape of my nose as a small child and throughout my growing years, I still live with body dysmorphia and low self confidence today. The latter also stems from being emotionally neglected as a child. Sensitive children can be deeply scarred by things that may seem of no consequence to adults.

[@bellalegendre2644]

​@@magnetdesignandadversorry yo hear that. I also battle body dysmorphia due to verbal and emotional abuse from my parents. My father repeatedly made comments about my body and face due to acne.

[@magnetdesignandadver]

Bella that's terribly upsetting - parents remain people with flaws - and often people don't heal their own traumas before bcoming parents, and then they pas on their traumas to their children. so much of our epxerienced trauma can remain locked in our subconscious which makes it so difficult to release. I belive we can heal with self love and being honest with ourselves. Then we can trust ourselves and find our path to recovering. Studies also show that Psilocybin (found in certain mushrooms) can help the brain heal parts and synapses damaged or changed by trauma @@bellalegendre2644

[@nimesh0775]

Talented acting, even as a child 👍🏽

[@LadyKfornow_]

Her character changed throughout the film. She was influenced by the negative and hostile energy towards her. If the child had received the love she deserved, she would'nt have harmed her dad. She was retaliating. It's sadly the usual parent-child dynamic in society. I thoroughly enjoyed this! Edit: Just realized the metaphor in the end, her father pierced her heart (figuratively speaking) So she cast a spell on him and pierced his heart...

[@senzanome66]

Interesting, at first I thought it was a liver or some other organ, assuming where he was holding his hand

[@momof3chis291]

This was absolutely captivating from start to finish! The young actor Ines’, who played Salome’…wow. The ‘spell’ she cast on her father after that slap? I FELT that for her. I WAS the daughter who saw her sister get all of the affection while I took all of the abuse, so when she took his disdain, and his disgust, and rubbed it all over her to cast it back on him, I felt it. I wanted to cheer. This was a very satisfying film, to put it mildly. 😉 BRAVO

@@senzanome66 It was his heart, and the daughter cast a spell on the beef heart which represented her dad's heart . That kid and her sister are going to grow up needing so much therapy after that bizarre dysfunctional family . The dad treated her like a disease rather than comfort her.

[@Katie_Kuma]

Well done! I was really impressed with how the family dynamics were portrayed and how she felt ostracized by the people she was supposed to be able to trust the most. Abd it was hard watching her sister ignore all of it. In the beginning it looked like they were close but when the skin condition came she was left behind and the family moved on. I love the parallel between her and her mother, because it seemed her mom didnt have the emotional power to fight any of the unhealthy habits. So glad the little one escaped though she couldn't resolve it without fighting back

[@anxiousbun5390]

Wtf kind of twisted relationship even is this

[@rossellabor]

This s the very best horror I've seen so far- and I have seen many! Everything is lightly disturing since the first scene, too joyfull, too loud, too overexcited. The way the mom touches the girl at the beginning, so jerky and awkward; the way the doctor moves, not really like a doctor but like a witch; the disgust of the father; the misterious sex life of the adults; the fact that three adults are unable to take care of the children and talk and behave in a totally unappropriated way; the lucid dream. Everything is just so perfect. I don't know if the the director is French, but the unspoken is softly showed and this is so peculiar of French movies ,which I adore). Thank you so mch for yor art!

What is the relationship between those 3 adults? I dont follow

[@meganstoddard9255]

@@TheSemtis they apparently have a 3 way sexual relationship, but officially? I'm not clear on what Josephine is to the family either. Is she the children's nanny? The parents' "friend" who lives with them? Something else? In any case, the real problem is that the adults are wrapped up in their own drama and don't parent the children appropriately.

[@gemstar7286]

@@meganstoddard9255 I got the impression she was the nanny and that the husband/dad was having an affair with her ... they were far from discreet. The wife was clearly jealous and seemed to get drunk, so i'm guessing after her outburst the 3 of them came to some weird polyamorous/ threesome arrangement , but it's obvious it's more the husband's idea, as the wife still looks uncomfortable around them . And it looks more like he's lusting after and prefers the nanny to his own wife, he can't even keep his hands off her , but shows no affection to his wife . very bizarre dynamic and very dysfunctional for the kids to be around and witness.
