What a true depiction of the way the darkness has overcome our world. Great job on this film, I was impressed. Do not see many films of this candor that are actually good. I agree with the comment about leaving the baby alone, negligence though, is a real thing as well as ritual killings. Great film, I will share it with others. Maybe this can help be an eye opener for the world.

[@deyomash]

Aw Heather what a lovely comment! Thia made my day!! Yes i am so fed up with these dull horror shorts of a woman in darkness with her flash light. I really wanted a dark storyline that one can follow along! Again thanks so much. And please do share it :) lets go to hollywood😊

[@Warrior_Spirit_Experience-Jen]

I loved the idea behind the movie, the actresses were fun to watch but in the end I really wanted to see some REVENGE!! From the spectral plane, since there were 2 ghosts now, or for the 2nd Mom to not give up but just let her crazy loose!! Maybe that's your next short? Great videography and editing too! Congrats 🎉

[@deyomash]

What a lovely thing to read. Thank you so much! We did put in alot of work :)! My next short will be different and is being planned right now!

[@jenniferd107]

In this day and age, who leaves a newborn baby alone in the house, chillin' in a crib...on its back? - just meaning it's not believable, in what feels like a very obvious and lazy way (one of my pet peeves). Aside from that, I really liked it, and didn't mean to sound so negative without any positive. :)

[@deyomash]

Completely agree, no one. Silly girl she was to make this mistake!:) i guess that is what miss T was waiting for 😉

[@gabrielbronan7521]

​@@deyomash Wait, sir. Who's the another person on the bed? And did she meet those 3 old people before committing suicide?

[@deyomash]

@@gabrielbronan7521 if youve read the newspaper carefully you shouldvr realized that the baby is STILL missing, in 1951. The old lady in the bed at the end IS the missinf baby. Tje grandfather took het back then and framed the motherl in 1951, therefore she commited suicide after noone believed her. Isabel has never met those 3, only mrs Thompson of course. Isabel killed herself right after her baby was taken.

5:50 is that bird a paid actor?? 😮😂 Literally, all i could think about was how great of a shot that was!

yeah that bird was our neighbour! We asked him if he wanted to join this little project :) it wasn't my intention to make this shot so great but thanks for appreciating it! I will tell the bird now.

Absolutely loved this short story… the twist and everything I see a bunch of complaints in the comments but coming from a horror fan of movies and short stories you did an amazing job because you completed it most leave you hanging or not really showing what happened and make people have to guess and I don’t care for those..Great Job ❤️

@Derryk Schieck It’s been 20 year since I left the shores of Mother England, but I’m a Warwickshire lass through and through. Was this actually filmed in Warwickshire? For some reason I had vibes of North Warks, South West Mids watching it here in the USA. I can forgive the acting as your hearts were quite obviously on full display. Great job!

[@deyomash]

Aww rachel, thank you so much! Yes. This was filmed in stratford upon avon and the maternity hospital was ACTUALLY build on the premise!! Cheers

[@wacajuibelka4171]

Very weird story. The reaction of the Mother is unhuman

[@lisamorales4286]

You're absolutely right, that woman killed her baby and she did nothing, instead she killed herself just like the woman in the beginning of the story. They would drink the blood of newborns thinking it would reverse aging. Obviously it must be working because the man was her grandfather and the woman in bed was her daughter. It's a crazy story but I think it's a great one!!!

Amazing job! Interesting story, i really enjoyed it!

Therapist: Writes Possible Schizophrenic. Also therapist: Proceeds to explain the history of her home and shows a photo.

[@deyomash]

Hmm. Possibly for the 'fake' documentation? It'd be quite interesting to think that the therapist does in fact not know that the woman (as a ghost) IS real?

[@NightPhoenixPress]

That’s called gaslighting.

Awesome little film, I do wonder what happened to her umbrella 🌂 when she sat at the lake then it reappeared after she continued to walk into town lol 😆 and did she walk into town but drove home 😁

[@gabrielbronan7521]

So in the end, she commits suicide? :(

[@deyomash]

Yes. Just like the woman in 1951 whose baby got stolen ...have you fogured out by whom?:)

[@gabrielbronan7521]

​​@@deyomash Freaking Mrs Thompson ofc. I guess suicide is the only answer since she might not have evidence of the kidnapping. Or maybe she already killed Mrs Thompson and her family, before committing suicide. Great job, btw, Derryk and the Underwoods !

[@deborahfabri3796]

Good job! Really nice film!!! Love it!

[@deyomash]

Awwhh thanks again!!😊😊

[@paulcooper6953]

Half way through this and one thing is bugging me. The intro is set in 1901, then we skip to 70 years later. This would put the rest of the film in 1971, but it's clearly not. Apart from obvious giveaways to this, the main character clearly asks about the maternity hospital :- "wasn't it knocked down in the eighties".

[@deyomash]

hey! You misread the beginngin :) It is set in 1951 :) and 70 years later puts us in 2021 :) and again a year later in 2022 which puts us in the year of release :)

History repeats itself. So who was watching the baby whenever she went out to the Doctors or into town? There needs to be another character The Doctor she was seeing was the devil herself. The Doctor even cooked the Cat? Disgusting. Her only answer was to commit suicide.

F*cking tragic dude.. Oof.. I saw it coming too.. So depraved.. It relates to the world we live in now, people doing sick things just to get power or some kind of edge in life. I look at things like this and I think of Bohemian Grove and all of these Celebrities and Political figures doing their "Spirit cooking" Parties, and I am just thinking.. ugh.. I can't stand blood, it makes me squeamish. Especially my own. anyone else's just makes me feel nautilus, the Metallic smell of it, mixed with whatever else is in it sets off my urge to vomit. 🤮also looking at it as it Gels up and Coagulates. Clots. 🤮 Just the thought of it and the mental image makes me feel ugh..

Exactly my thoughts. Those scenes (she is stepping out of the car, we see both her feets for a few seconds; she is slowly walking; and always the noise of her steps as she is walking; the other woman knitting, than slowly walking to the phone; etc.) do not add to the story at all, just fill out time.

[@theyoohoogyrl9000]

- alright story - acting needs help, kinda made it boring. there was no emotion especially when your baby dies, how are you not devastated? - the audio sometimes didn’t match with the visual, like the footsteps be out of sync - many questions i had throughout like where is the father? who made the call acting as a cop? was isabel already targeted because she lived there? did the therapist know she was gonna have a baby? and more questions.. - a lot of unneeded scenes (filler) when could’ve been more to add to the characters and their stories - like others, i was upset when she left a newborn baby alone. as much as we don’t like it, it does happen in the world i guess - the baby was obviously seen as a doll, but i guess no big deal. probably hard to borrow someones baby lol - good camera work though

[@deyomash]

Thank you so much, people should see this comment and actually take an example of how to be _constructive_. I'd like to answer some of your questions :) The father was kept out of picture on purpose, we didn't want to add something as arbitrary and unneccessary as a romantic relationship. Isabel was targeted because she lives at the place, the old maternity hospital where the psychologists grandfather (the guy at the end) faked the disappearance of one baby, thats why the ghost lady killed herself, it was framing. I don't think there's a call from a cop? only the fake Vet. That was the grandfather who just verified she'd be out so that the psychologist, his granddaughter could enter the house and steal the baby as a blood sacrifice to keep the blonde woman at the end in the bed, which is the stolen baby from 1953, alive :) If you have any questions hit me up!

[@tinabrownell9123]

Yes why was the baby old but the person who stole her not? Is the blood a deal with the devil to keep the man and the granddaughter young but then they need blood but the baby is older than them now because she didn't make a deal

[@leo-unddieAnderen]

Shorts should not be so long and drawn-out at the beginning. Not interesting enough to hold most people's attention span.

[@deyomash]

The fact that the word "short" is in the title made you subconsiously do that? In any way if people see "36 minutes" its their decision to watch that right? Just like it's someones own decision to watch a almost 4 hour version of lord of the rings :)
