Horror Short Film "Wandering Soul" | ALTER

[@TempehLiberation]

War horror is such a compelling genre, this was very very well done.

[@misterboot6682]

The acting of those 2 Vietcong was awesome, great actors.

[@zaex3778]

i am a vietnamese and that story is scary af because back then out people really heavily trust on religous

[@ლუკა_ბუთხაშვილი]

As an Georgian i have a question, while Americans we're trying to physically scare soldiers, they we're playing on the fire right?

[@toiletjenny333]

​@@ლუკა_ბუთხაშვილი No because they knew it was all fake.

[@HuyNguyen-yh9rq]

@@ლუკა_ბუთხაშვილი In our Vietnamese beliefs, supernatural forces are to be worshiped - and from there they will bless us, not used as a tool, because then you will be punished by them sooner or later.

[@KittenKartell]

Actors were superb… The emotions were so rich throughout this amazing film.

[@Wampenschlampen]

I didn't know about Operation Wandering Soul, so the twist was unexpected. And I'm really glad the makers didn't add a second twist, where the ghost is actually real and kills the American soldiers; that's been done far too often.

[@atticatseng]

Underrated comment. The fact that it was all military tactics inflicts a more profound terror than any supernatural cliché could do.

[@CRC-1904]

What doesn't make sense to me is that how does an audio recording cause the north Vietnamese soldiers to halucinate and see ghosts? 🤷‍♂️

[@22tfortnitevevo]

@@CRC-1904they were delirious and suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning in their tunnels apparently (along with the general paranoia of war), isn’t that far fetched

[@zethraelofteldrassil3149]

I often wondered what secretive tactics the American army used on the Viet Cong and our own US soldiers. What an excellent short film.

[@ladybug3393]

Zethreal...I would love for you to elaborate...sounds fascinating

[@sithlord1051]

The use of these tapes wasn't secret, only (we suppose) the extent to which they were used.

[@jeusgarcia8597]

*YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW*

[@Uhhlaneuh]

@@ladybug3393look up operation wandering soul

[@DianaGR-lt9pk]

I found this extremely offensive towards Vietnamese people and towards the respect towards life and death.... it's outrageous the the US army actually use this,it is evil and infuriating 😡

[@native405pride]

Wow! True atrocities are way more scarier than make believe. This story hit home being a traditional native.

[@nicolebogda1482]

This film maker deserves entry to the highest lvl of acceptance for any short. Emotional, docu-drama. Beyond “Horror” per-se. 💯 Brilliant.

[@SigmaMale1706]

That’absolutely stunning, the way he had to remember his teammate cause he knew the trauma would have follow him forever is fantastic, nice work!❤

[@PaisleyPatchouli]

Now this is a new take on the VN war and psych-ops that afaik hasn't been covered in film before. Extremely well done exposition of a little known psychological/spiritual aspect of that miserable war. Bravo!

[@theTrend7]

Wow. How sad. But these actors did this story so much justice.

[@underwaterspacetraveler17]

Wow, this is very well done. Absolutely fantastic. What a terrifying time that was... I can't imagine. There are soo many fascinating, and disturbing, aspects of the Vietnam War... tactics used.

[@KifaruRed]

Another superb story. I had read a little about the psychological offensive in Vietnam a few years ago, but so little was known the details were sketchy and did not seem verified. A disturbing aspect to our military operations, but fear has always been the chief weapon anyone can use against an enemy. Pretty much everybody is afraid of dying, and some can even overcome or shelve that in the heat of battle. If you can extend the fear to non-combat, i.e. make them just as afraid to be alive, you have significant advantage. Facing an opponent with deep spiritual belief opened the door for this sort of action to American forces. I would not be surprised to learn it has been used in some of our modern actions. As for the film, great credit to the actors for conveying the tenacity and deep beliefs of the Vietnamese while also showing the terror any human expresses when confronting cultural fears and their own. Great camera work, sound and direction as well. Thanks to all for sharing this magnificent piece of cinema. Best of luck with future projects.

[@scoundral2995]

I feel like rather than actual ghosts harming dao. It was just hallucinations due to nights of constantly being on edge and not sleeping

[@robertthomason8905]

Psychological warfare. Wandering souls. War sucks.

[@jomoland]

Sad 😞 October is over. At least I still have Alter to feed my needs until next year!

[@younggkida]

Next year lol

[@jomoland]

@@younggkida I love October! 🎃

[@CommonSenseRevolution]

Another amazing short presented by Alter. Again this was a good watch and worthy of becoming a feature for sure. Bravo and well done!

[@ruthieworldtravels]

Why jack it up with a feature?

[@dablakmark8]

this was very very very well done short, top notch on everything from actors to location to sound to bloody everything.its as if it was taken from a movie

[@anikajain571]

Great short film 👍 The ghost tapes were a cruel and sadistic "tactic". That is the real horror.

[@Monarch0114]

Better the tapes than agent orange. Or nukes with the last group of Asians that made us fly across the pacific to give them an ass whooping. Imperialist to communist.

[@ristof2]

Wow! I super love this film. Aside from having visited the Cu Chi tunnels, I find this movie telling a very good story. Nice effects too.

[@msursa]

Years pass, living memory fades, and only ghosts are left to remember why.

[@MisterG2323]

Oldie but still a goodie! Thanks for the encore presentation!

[@frankstoeknife3685]

Wow!!! I’ve often thought that would make for great psychological horror, those recordings!! Excellent job!!!

[@angellee4057]

The war and the sadness , thanks Alter !

[@midlandredux]

Beautifully done horror, great production values and solid character work.

[@matthewskinner1637]

You’ve robbed this from Omeleto🙃☠️☠️

[@bensweiss]

Glad to see this film on Alter, good stuff.

[@grandmaster510]

Huge respect to the Tunnel rat victims

[@myseaside]

One of the best horror shorts I've seen yet, the acting was amazing

[@edyak6280]

Claustrophobic and haunting with an even more horrific end. Thanks for creeping me out; a job well done.

[@xanderharris1104]

This one was particularly spooky

[@LookingGlass1865]

Such a horrific tactic to use. Those poor men. In the video as well as in reality. Fantastic acting. Such a terrifying reveal when the Americans and their horrible sound machine come into focus (for me anyway, someone who didn't know the tapes before). Love to see short films like this set in other cultures!

[@observationsfromthefencepo7207]

This was compelling. War is a horror backdrop all unto itself and the Vietnam war was horrific on all sides. It was equal horror and education. It was interesting to see the burial ritual of the Vietnam soldiers and then the use of the ghost tapes. Sharing the facts at the end was a fantastic call. In the end, we are all people with various end of life beliefs. The use of a foreign language was vital component as it made me pay attention and those tunnels delivered a claustrophobic feel that really worked when the two characters were running through them. The lighting was effective too. There is a sadness to work also. It makes an empathic point very well. This is a constructed short and great job to all involved. I end all my reviews with Peace. This one reminds us of the true importance of It. Peace indeed.

[@cashwalk7253]

The tapes themselves are terrifying. There are recordings on KZbin where you can hear them. I don’t hold the same religious beliefs and I still find them bone-chilling.

[@kylefrank638]

Whole time I was thinking to myself how the sound design was really something to behold. Well.. I love that this has an informative twist, but with the twist, the original paranormal element remains intact, with the sounds persisting without the tape and all. My favorite thing featured on this channel in a long while!

[@dawnrosecrants8919]

Fantastic work. War is horrible as is. The dead man scared the crap out of me. Then to learn it's baste on true events with that sound machine to scar people with their beliefs. Unreal. 😲

[@ICONICPARIS]

War is so heartbreaking

[@Fido-vm9zi]

Yes it is 🙏

[@Fido-vm9zi]

I believe humanity suffers from consequences of war more than we know or can even imagine-generations of people. Not fair. Unacceptable.

[@koreancowboy42]

Such horrible tactics... Exploiting the enemies culture. As an Asian we take belief in ghosts and spirits really serious. And I could imagine how horrible it must've been fighting in war in the tunnels and such seeing all kinds of horrors and death. And the death of your comrades, burying them and hoping they don't come back as evil scary ghosts and so on. Cuz it's scary its no joke, if you were a little kid told like ghost stuff and you get spooked and what not. And Vietnam is one of those rough places to live in.

[@4FYTfa8EjYHNXjChe8xs7xmC5pNEtz]

I read that during the Korean War a lot of people saw ghosts in Korean towns because of fighting.

[@abductedbyaliens9425]

I had no idea this was an actual place that you can tour even today.

[@weme11]

This is a true story. Very well made short. And the warmonger U.S. made war with every nation!

That one’s done well and really interesting. Good job to everyone involved…

[@danajones9631]

Thanks ALTER 😜👍💯

[@paullevine1813]

Great work by the guys in the tunnel shows how truly scary it must have been to be in one of those & to add have to perform a ritual to keep the dead from coming back in such a bad way. Reminds me of a story from Monsters the old TV show & the episode where the solders had to check the tunnels form VC soldiers only to become lost & in the midst of the dead coming for them. That show never lasted long but it did have some great story's. As if War is not dreadful enough but when you add that supernatural element & ghosts it's even more dreadful. The things our Governments do they try & hide are just as bad.

[@fallen_star977]

Amazing, great work

[@captainmatey4896]

This was amazing. It would make an amazing full length film.

I was scared bro i watched this at night and i cryed through my pants thats how scary this is bro and im 13 like the hell and yes i liked my comment 🎉🎉🎉😂😂

[@lavacubplaysroblox8278]

My Grandpa was in the Vietnam War, he was also one of the special soldiers who wore black hats. Also was a Drill sergeant for many things! :) but anyway a war is probably the scariest horrors out there, cause your whole country might get surrounded by the enemy. War was just hard…. How my grandpa died is he got hurt on a tank explosion. How he really died is from cancer, and I think it was from his broken spine. RIP grandpa :( 1943-2003 ❤️:(

[@aliwilliams6484]

I can’t believe all this was a real thing who needs imagination when you can just open an history book or declassified files

[@LamiNalchor]

well done. although, I would have loved a terrifying addition at the end.

I can't stop war

[@gillbui2049]

No Vietnamese really said " You're playing with fire " in Vietnamese , we use the term " chơi ngu "

[@vunguyenmanh6323]

Good for a short film. But minnor points for: - We not buried people inside the tunnel. WTF? - Vietnamese language used in this film is bad, I mean really bad!!! - And OWS was a totallly failed operation, the only effect it's caused on VN soldier is that they sometimes have to shoot the speaker (which quite easy to find) because it's too annoying :)))

[@ismewhat1234]

Crazy stuff

War is horrorfying, in many ways you can achieve through it. How they can do this? Easily well done Hollywood Studios y'know. Actors and actresses have a voice, and because of their voice, they can really change perspective. We know why, because part of the complete understand is sound
