Rainy Season | Horror Short Film | Screamfest

[@observationsfromthefencepo7207]

This was a really good adaptation albeit altered version of the Stephen King story. After watching it I immediately went to reread the source material. The short story was originally published in the Spring 1989 Issue of the Midnight Graffiti magazine and later on in his collection Nightmares and Dreamscapes. There are some differences but nothing that takes away from the quality of this short. In the short story, the young couple meet the older residents in a store in town, there are no figures in masks, and the story takes place in Maine. The arc of the husband is different too. This film made good use of tone and atmosphere and the toad shots worked well and were just enough for the viewer to get the point. The ending was a little quick as I would have liked to have seen more of the aftermath. The acting was believable and this was an overall great experience to watch. King is not an easy adaptation and this one delivered. Great work and thanks to all involved. Long days and Pleasant nights. Peace.

Did anyone realize this is a Stephen King story from one of his books with minor differences

[@sicooper4230]

Yeah and this almost but not quite captures it but then book to screen is never easy. A massive fan of Kings short storys. Also, i love how the weather is hot and oppressive signaling a storm coming in the short story...they missed that.

[@TracyLewisakaTraCee]

I thought about it as soon as I saw the name! I was hoping that was what this was 😊

[@Msmary98-98]

Yeah it kinda says it’s based off a Stephen king book at the beginning. 😂

Makes you scary to visit places tht hides secrets unaware to the outider. Definitely should been made into an at least an 30 minutes film

Okay, dachte niemals, dass ich auf Screamfest einen österreichischen Film sehen werde. Bis heute. Und naja, für mich passt es mal gar nicht, dass sie Mr. und Mrs. Graham heißen. Stipsits kenn ich eher als Komiker - ihn in einem Horror-Short zu sehen, verwirrt mich noch. Die Dialoge sind klassisch Österreich......fällt mir schwer, das in diesen Film einzuordnen, da es mehr meinem eigenen Alltag entspricht. Ich werde mir einen solchen Film erst in 7 Jahren wieder ansehen.....

[@GradKat]

The trouble is, there weren’t enough toads. It was supposed to POUR toads, as it does in the SK short story, so it was a bit of a let down really.

[@jeffreyzain]

SPOILERS-I was expecting a CGI frog rain to further heighten the suspense, but it didn’t happen. Enjoyable nevertheless. Short and lovely.

Charles Bronson. Now that is not an ending. That's a beginning!

[@t75kab11]

Stephen King wrote a short story called "Rainy Season," and it was about the same thing. Even how it began, with the couple talking to the old timers and being warned not to stay there that night.

[@Nixx0912]

It's mentioned right in the beginning It's based on King's short story.

[@dethengine]

Sometimes I miss small details when I watch movies, but even I didn't miss the giant "BASED ON THE SHORT STORY BY STEPHEN KING" at the beginning of this one.

[@Mashy8722]

Sorry, but if I’m warned by people that LIVE in this town of something crazy about to happen and they go out of their way to book me a stay somewhere else to protect me…I might not take the stay out of nerves of not knowing the people but I sure as fuck would listen and avoid the place for the night 😂😂 this was def a ‘play stupid games, win stupid prizes’ situation on behalf of the couple 😂😂 loved this tho! Read the original Stephen King story, although not right on the story, it was a great adaptation!!! ❤

[@reckia]

Disappointing. There were much more toads in Stephen King's story. Would have preferred it if it were more like the story. The old couple were well played, though.

[@screamfestla]

Thanks for watching!

[@jeffreyharnden7523]

Didn't know this was a Steven King book but this was good do people think that this was better than the book or vice versa I'm just curious I've never even heard of this but I did like this .

[@paullevine1813]

In the end at least he showed his never to be wife she was his main squeeze !!!! With that many toads i bet the fishing next morning for those that knew how to stay alive would have been some killer fishing !!! I have not read the story but King knows how to make you freak , & the little guys well as I've not yet read the story i take are the ones that make this happen every seven years & they don't change. Still after reading some comments i see the kids & masks were not in the story so we will assume it's only poetic licence on the filmmaker part. Sad end as SK would have probably done the same thing. I will read the story ...

It’s ridiculous! Some people just love to complain tho.... they aren’t happy unless they’re complaining about something ! The amount of work that goes into making editing and putting it out here is tiring in itself and these people should be praised for what they do .. uggh. Complainers are annoying😂😂

[@Nixx0912]

@@Msmary98-98 I don't get it really. I like subtitles, I think dubbing takes half of the actor performance and it's very helpful for learning languages. I catch things easier by hearing them so watching movies and series with subtitles is a fun part of education.

It will be very nice of you if you could listen to our first audiobook 'A Secret Behind The Bungalow'...

[@000aleph]

This was an unnecessary adaptation, it added nothing that was good, but lost the spirit of the original. We get a few masked figures doing nothing in particular and a vague hint to a ritual, all of which make the story aimless. The torrent of toads was really just a trickle. The man doing the crunchy frog to his wife also felt arbitrary.

[@adamwatson2914]

Piss poor adaptation.. the story is supposed to be about a swarm of killer giant toads man lol

Meh, had potential. Wish I had night vision googles to see most of the movie. Can someone please explain further.😊

[@novaphonix8284]

Spoiler, The town sacrifices couples from out of town to protect themselves from being victims of the toads, the husband ended up possessed and killed the wife. The old couple the warned them in the beginning of the short knew what would happened to them and wanted it to happen in order to protect their town Willow. I hope that helps you understand the ending, it was a little confusing when it came to the kinds in the robes, I don't really see their purpose.
