That is the scariest bravest woman in a horror film I've ever watched

[@tollinpamphilon1621]

Not me scrolling to the comment section for comfort during the scary bits only to find I'm all alone 🙃

[@tollinpamphilon1621]

Really well done little film 👏

[@franklinsannicolas2409]

@@tollinpamphilon1621 YOU CAN SEE THERE IS LIKE A SHADOW OF A CREW MEMBER PUSHING THE DOOR OPEN TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A GHOST IS PUSHING IT OPEN.. LOOK VERY CLOSELY AT THE BACKSIDE OF THE DOOR YOU PROBABLY NOTICE A PERSON BEHIND THROUGH THE HINGES CRACK OF THE DOOR PUSHES IT OPEN.

[@TheFireline]

interesting plot! maybe it would have been a good idea to tell the audience WHY this man is living there. Telling the story without words was well done!!

[@MAILLADY2010]

It's called phrogging. Creepy but true. But the question is: who is the phrog? She is marking a calendar. When are the owners coming home? 🤯

[@413_GroomLake_Rd.]

@@MAILLADY2010 No I don’t think shes the phrogger… Not with keys and being photographed there over months… and the calender… I think she marked all days, she missed food in the house. Only strange thing is why she avoided the phone Call without Reading the caller

[@ronaldbelflower1236]

good a fighter , tired of the running screaming ,murdered . and she lived . well done and acted . i liked it

[@shashasyedd8858]

Wow this short really got me up at 2pm. It got my heart thumping.

[@MisterG2323]

Call---The---Police!

[@Trump145]

Nobody ever has a firearm.

[@Msmary98-98]

I don’t think I would continue to live there. I think I would try to move somewhere else

[@luizfelipemartins630]

Me too man,this is too creepy

[@urnabiie._]

The atmosphere and the storyline are quite good, very scary if you are in that position. It's just that the woman's acting is not very good, at least she should show more fear. Her expression is flat and not too scared or worried. But I still like it, keep it up!!

[@alchen587]

How people come to leave in these huge houses/flats? In my place, there is barely room for me left alone others

[@paullevine1813]

OK , so in the end the door is left open when at the point where he or it tries to kill her may symbolize it was trapped in the house for a reason we don't know & as she made an attempt to kill it with a mouse trap may be why it tried to do her in , something we just don't know. As she never tried to harm it up till that point . It was giving off a very bad vibe so whatever it did could not have been good. I think as the door was open at the end it finally got out & who knows ,killers don't mind being shot or stabbed especially if they are evil spirits, ones that like cookies or whatever that was in her pantry cupboard it was eating . Why would a ghost need to eat ? We don't know !!!! Many conclusions other than just mine all valid & that's what makes these shorts so good they leave it up to the viewer to draw their own. Perhaps she was just facing her fears as she fights it & anyone else would have run. My only beef was i could not see the photos she was looking at in the attic. To the filmmaker & all involved ,great job.

[@413_GroomLake_Rd.]

Watched in on iPad and got the right moment to see the photos… it’s her randomly pictured by the photographer once a month. Leaving the house, sitting in the park, talking to a men at her door. I think it was one of these guys who hides in houses for a living. Called phrogging. And in the end, he saw no other way than to attack her, to keep himself incognito. When she hits him with the knife, he left her keys and phone, not to be caught with it on his runaway… Only thing I don’t get is, she seems to miss food for months and never asked herself whats wrong

[@jomontanee]

Why the footprints disappeared?

[@vivianmorales3010]

She alone that can act in her movie. That house too scary. I would have left and cussed the spirit while running

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

6:24 Don't worry, maybe it's just Michael Aspel, about to step out of the shadows with his red book, telling you that THIS IS YOUR LIFE!!!!

[@MAILLADY2010]

Excellent short 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Must watch

[@philschuler9674]

Well done, a very good short.

[@IrishFairyCosplays]

Well done Alex and team it turned out really well x

[@franklinsannicolas2409]

NOTICE A ROD OR AN INVISIBLE STRING OPENS THE DOOR. IT'S AN ACT.

[@franklinsannicolas2409]

YOU CAN SEE A SHADE OF A CREW MEMBER PULLING THE DOOR OPEN IN SOME HORROR MOVIES. LIKE IN THE MOVIE OF SOME GHOST A WOMEN IN HER ROOM SAW HER DOOR OPEN ON ITS OWN FROM THE MIRROR. LOOK CLOSELY. A SHADE OF A MOVIE CREW IS SEEN BARELY BUT IS NOTIFIED PUSHES THE DOOR OPEN

[@hieroh8645]

Why is she hiding after pointing at the stranger with a flash light? 🤣 he already knows from the light anyway.

[@Msmary98-98]

Exactly! He knows exactly where she’s at and where she’s going.

[@hieroh8645]

@@Msmary98-98 Finally someone understand she should gtfo that instant, instead of playing hide and seek with the killer

[@luizfelipemartins630]

Lol,I thought the same thing!

[@farristolesome4419]

She’s very brave because as soon as I saw the banana peel in the attic I would have been out of there with the quickness. 😂

[@aliocha23]

Probably the worst flash light around, but that epic kitchen knife tho, my god, it's literaly a sword, what food are you supposed to cut with that?? :D

[@helenpoornima5126]

Fantastic film ! 👸

[@vnblogs1085]

Superb

[@dhawkins78412]

I thought with her as calm as she was the man was her maniac brother or someone like that. Not a rejected boyfriend/husband. Really like the short, you have to look and hear to figure the story out.

[@roccgg]

Well done 👏✔

[@ronanmurphy2739]

very good and creepy

[@NanaNana-tj3zm]

It has a good ending and the bravest heroine

[@savagesagittarius]

This is a real thing. It's called, "Phrogging." Knowing this actually happens, makes the film that much more scary!

[@madikaandoanything]

I'm wondering what's going to happen to her next

[@rickysanchez8709]

What happened to the attic man? Scary that someone could living free in your attic huh? Yikes!

[@mandielou]

Free? Who cares... What's scary is that someone living in your attic could go unnoticed. Lol I wouldn't be "oh btw since you're living up there, that's $1000\mo. I'd appreciate it if you paid that in full before you decide to murder or rape me. Thank you"🤣😅

[@NinaRenateBertelsen-rv2zy]

She Killed Him...

Keep searching. Resident!

[@jaylinhayward4551]

That killer sucks and she’s so uncoordinated the way she flipped the knife around lol. Good film tho

Good film but ..whats the connection with the woman and her intruder ??...why her.??.....where was he hiding .??..howd he get the photographs ??.............THE RASKAL

[@LadyTee16]

Well we had something this going on in my building they was living in our basement not sure how long but we would hear nosies and see food wrappers and other things in the basement to the point we knew it had to be someone living there all of us in the building was fresked out becauce we didnt know they got in or how long they was there called the cops they came they found them they was in one of the storage place omg locks was changed windows was locked that was the most freaked out thing ever

[@frankieriaz9615]

Shaking or pulling the door handle continuosly when the door is locked is not gna magically open lol

[@joeabstractjoe]

I guess these days a movie can't be scary unless the lights are out or dimmed so the viewer has to imagine. In that case I can imagine my own scary video. 😉

[@milkeart8283]

Why do you people don't have your ficking doors close and lock it everytime you go to bed?!

[@bluerainwalker5463]

i dont know if i wnt to cal her brave or stupid . when she shined the light on him the first time ,she had to know he knew he was spotted .she should have got her butt out called cops .i think that would have been more of a natural reaction .doors being locked somehow on the inside is common and makes no sense . she could have broke a window to climb out .some of the aspects seemed super natural yet she stabbed him and he ran way or is hiding in the house .i like a hero that fights back but remains human reacts human . i know this is a short little time to tell a story .i liked it just it lost me when she caught him in the light and she leans against the wall instead of running to get out or a locked room . lol i was telling her run you idiot .

You've been Evicted!

[@vivianmorales3010]

Why are you in the lady,s 🏠

[@LittleHwangO]

I adore short horror films but the one thing I’ve noticed in the majority of the amateur ones that completely kill it for me is the sound. Better sound mixing and mic equipment is so important for a short film to seem even remotely semi professional. I’m so sorry if that sounded mean and it seems a lot of other people enjoy these films without even noticing the sound issues, which is fantastic! But I just can’t watch anything where the sound is fried/buzzing and not properly isolated
