"I'll just use my data" The real horror hidden in this horror movie 😆

[@maureenchineze937]

😂😂😂

[@detwins77]

Really good. In my case being trapped with such a talkative person would be the scariest part

[@fabriziomanuel7779]

Fr

[@t.ruththeblack]

Talkative is okay, but did they share the bathroom? That's a worse horror.

[@pghanaksh5543]

Exactly same here 😂

[@sharonpaterson1281]

Hahaha you sound like my hubby 🤣

[@gemstar7286]

It sounded like it was permanently raining outside aswell .

[@dombo813]

What a delightful host! No one could possibly give her a negative review!

[@Nushgala]

Of course not. She k*lls them before than can happen! 🤣

[@user-ql9om1ke4j]

they won't be around to give one 🤣

[@airaobregon-jg9ws]

She said at one point during their first conversation at the table having coffe, that: 'I DONT DWELL ON THE PAST, CUZ THE LITTLE THINGS WIILL EAT AT YOU..' And now we know that the old lady meant it LITERALLY..😂 😂😂😂

[@bryanmerberonio5245]

🤣🤣🤣

[@willowclay5406]

He was trapped with a psychotic energy vampire! Her talking alone was enough to torture him!

[@jenniealarid1421]

This is a horror film about what happens if you’re too polite. I would have died too while being annoyed the whole time

[@willowclay5406]

Those drink coasters on the table were most definitely a hint also about her too. She probably came from a psych ward lol!

[@Ianad2]

I'd be "This woman is not shutting up. I'm out of here."

[@FantasticGaming-pw8st]

That feeling when you rewatch a second time and hear those little growls you didn’t notice before every time she mentions “little things.”

[@pmabhande]

Definitely reflects the horrors of some air Bnb experiences. Chatty hosts who shouldn't even be there, absent WiFi which should be there, ice cold water when they said geyser works, one cup and a broken pot when they say self catering. Lol, sometimes air Bnb is an unnecessary risk unless its recommended by someone you know and trust...

[@twindrill2852]

We should turn AirBNBs into housing for homeless and impoverished people.

[@jborrego2406]

Oh the host stays . I thought it was empty house they rent room or the whole house too lol

[@7prudent]

Airbnb is all together a bad idea. I don't know how it passes the gov. rules and laws at all.

[@thetaxidermywitchsymbolism5215]

Love at the end how she hummed that tune from American horror story!

[@kato8898]

WOW a twist of "Arsenic and Old Lace" sans comedy. Well done

[@samanthacrump1976]

Fabulous Movie!!!

[@sharionsutherland8950]

I don't know if anyone else caught the little tune she was humming at the end. It was the same tune that was in American Horror Story. "Murder House". Great short film!!

[@trishazechel8402]

Moral of the story, don't be so hasty to take the first availability.

[@0_dearghealach_083]

Another reason to never go to an Air BnB!!

[@t.ruththeblack]

That was hilarious and a cool play on words. Ilene Sullivan was superb as Mrs Phillips, She never said Mr Phillips died. Just that there was nothing she could do. Very nicely done!

[@koenraadverstraeten5894]

I believe to think she fed her husband to the "kids". And also ; the coffee was poisoned for sure. Would like to see the faces of the little creatures, actually. Maybe a "Little Things , part 2."??

[@HollywoodHeyson]

But.. she said he's no longer with us?

[@horsluva0758]

@@koenraadverstraeten5894 Nah, I don't need to see them, keeps it exciting that way.

[@horsluva0758]

@@HollywoodHeyson Exactly, bcs she killed him and fed him to the "kids". lol!

[@KoopaBOOEY]

@@horsluva0758 HollywoodHeyson was referring to the line t.ruththeblack said about "She never said Mr Phillips died" when Hollywood said "But... she said he's no longer with us?" So how can he not die and also at the same time be no longer with us? If you're eaten, of course you're dead. And I don't think Mr. Phillips left his wife to also mean "he's no longer with us"

[@beththompson2188]

This reminds me of the 70s movie “It’s Alive”. The commercial always freaked me out as a kid.

[@ChaCha.44]

I remember always seeing the VHS tape cover of that movie when I was little and we'd go to rent a movie. I can still picture it. Creepy!

[@remsleep2033]

"Hi everyone! Today we're having..... Muffins!"

[@louisianaboyjames2660]

It’s hard to trust anyone nowadays because we don’t know about their true intentions.

[@dr0z1lla92]

Tell my ex gf that 😹 she had plenty of intentions none were good though lol

[@seittit]

The only time we trusted eachother was the time humans first learned how to farm

[@cooIiosam]

Yeah. I agree with you because some people you know might be yk… a very bad person. Especially if you met them virtually. Also in that game roblox too.

[@Yatukih_001]

I have learned that some of the antivaccers and the flat - earthers can be trusted and a few globe earthers but that is pretty much it. Narcissists can definitely not be trusted.

[@BPEJS24-7]

D.T.A or N.T.A

[@twindrill2852]

So…the couple adopted 3 monster triplets, and then they got hungry. The husband either died trying to quell them (so the wife decided to feed the children his remains), or she always planned to kill and feed him to the monsters…

[@caymens604]

I think her husband fell down the stairs like she said, but the "kids" smelled his blood and ate him so there was "nothing she could do" as she said

[@IlaughedIcried]

It seems she adopted a set of Jawas. Maybe in the sequel we'll get to see them repair old spaceships and equipment. :)

[@winifredherman4214]

Her eyes creep me out! That crazed stare.

[@rosannacellini2158]

She made a stew out of him for the little, glowy-eyed gremlins, lol I had a feeling when he checked in, he wasn't going to check out, ever. That lady was too weird to being with. Creepy and amusing.

[@laradavenport903]

Like I knew so, after you watch too much horror movies!🎥

[@arbjful]

Yes I could sense that too. He should have gotten out when she said she would be staying there as well

[@OldManPaxusYT]

why would you just post a spoiler like that. muppet.

[@airaobregon-jg9ws]

😂😅

[@diontaedaughtry974]

Warm hospitality can be deceitful. Great film good job 👍👍

[@gilenasimons7081]

Great actress. So good. 🇬🇧

[@juelz8090]

i can already see the reviews for the AirBNB "Quaint little place, the host is a bit talkative and there sometimes sounds coming from the basement but the coffee...the coffee is to die for! Sometimes you gotta appreciate the little things." 3/5 Stars

[@xphy1615]

The fact that she didn't walk away after showing him to hus room made me incredibly uncomfortable!!!! The whole time I was hoping she'd just stop talking and walk away. Why just keep standing there while he tries to unpack, the longer it went on the more heavy and uncomfortable I got. 😬

[@willowclay5406]

I'm going to teach you all something about predatorial toxic humans: Number one they're very intrusive of your boundaries and two super controlling! The character was intrusive with his personal space and she imposed herself into asking him repeatedly about this and that and the coffee! She poisoned his coffee!

[@tyriciankelly9185]

OUT OF EVERYTHING IN THIS STORY, THAT BATHROOM MIRROR GAVE ME THE CREEPS🥴🫣

[@TheGreenhillsCyclist]

To hell with AirBnBs! I'm going back to outdoor camping! Very good.

[@miapdx503]

Give me a hotel room every time. I'm not going to some stranger's house. Nope

[@TheGreenhillsCyclist]

@@miapdx503 That's if you can get a hotel room in Ireland. I've been trying for months now. No vacancies, unless I go 5 star which is WAY out of my price range. I'm with you. Not going into a strangers house, not a chance.

[@krisaaron8180]

Please don't watch any of the KZbin shorts featuring campers.

[@krisaaron8180]

Please don't watch any KZbin shorts about campers.

[@sasukeaclown705]

When she said"Oh no Dear dont try to get up, the legs are the first thing to go" YASSS GRANDMA SOLD THAT UMM K

[@hotjohnny1185]

I think breakfast thrown in with the deal was, for him, the decisive and most exciting opportunity to rent.

[@nellybelle6135]

As soon as she said the little things were in the way of the wifi he should have got his bag and went somewhere else

[@melaniejerrils3671]

She really did a wonderful job with the creepy eyes and tension throughout. Yup not terrible and not great but def worth the watch!

[@katierojas8066]

I despised her character.

[@coopartsofcolors8723]

I loved Mrs. Phillips character! Awesome!!

[@Karatejin]

I enjoyed the story! That sent me "Tales from the Crypt" vibes! And one more sub!

[@brooklyngal6334]

Oh wow… as if I wasn’t wary enough to use Air BNB. Very creepy story. Well acted. Something tells me her husband didn’t quite come around to this!

[@sandeedriver1941]

My tummy actually hurt watching him struggle with his stomach ache! Sure! Thanks channel!

[@professord1522]

This was a little predictable for me, but it was so well acted by both the Hostess and Businessman that I enjoyed it very much. It's very reminiscent of the old TV show "Monsters." I have to say, the Hostess's stare and attitude toward her hubby's demise would have had me "NOPE-ing" out of there from the very start. I'll add this movie to the many reasons I would NEVER use an Airbnb.

[@AlphaVortex888]

12.38 the perfect dialog. "my stomach says no, but m gonna say yes" - everytime i pass by a street food shop

[@airaobregon-jg9ws]

😂😅

[@lizabitorlandi8696]

Enjoyed your production very mush. Loved how "The Little Things" was added into the script. Well acted and the scary and creepy smile on Mrs Phllips (Ilene's) face was a treasure. Thanks, Lizabitch

[@poisontoad8007]

Well acted?

[@Mr_Nostalgia04]

Lizabitch?☠️

[@louisem3969]

Are you Emmanuela Orlandi ?

[@Msmary98-98]

Maybe he just needs to go sit on the toilet for a bit but I don’t think the coffee is going to help.

[@Ipaziamedico]

Wonderful! And very very original! This certainly is one of the best horror movie, perhaps "noire", that I have seen.... Good actors, and super super idea! With my best compliments!

[@farristolesome4419]

That was fabulous! Just great! I really enjoyed this one. It kind of reminds me of a movie called Mothers Day were the old lady seems sweet but has evil and bad intentions. The woman who played Mrs. Phillips rocks!!! Both of them did great acting but she takes the cake or should I say stew 😂🎉😂 Thank you for sharing 😊

[@KimberlyLetsGo]

No AirBNBs for me if I have to share them. Eeeee!!!

[@hucklesnook1848]

Great storyline that kept you interested. Liked the acting on both sides as well.

[@lovelyjussin3752]

Her being so talkative and theatrical with her movements, would send the signals 😅

[@danielkane1108]

Mrs. Philips reminds me of a friend of the family bwahahahahaha I LOVE her!

[@fawziaabdurrahman2251]

She reminds me of my aunt who is also a nurse 😨

[@fejeslac]

It was trully a great short! excellent acting!

[@judahbenisrael4104]

What the ACTUAL fuck.. why would u stay after she was laughing at the telly like that

[@laradavenport903]

Because there is lot of stupidity victims that has to die.🙄

[@ShaunaBlack-ff6gx]

I don't think she was laughing at the tv.

[@loramcqueen4425]

I enjoyed this film; the performances were excellent. I thought using "Tonight You Belong to Me" was a cute touch. Going to be more careful the next time someone uses the phrase, "none to speak of."

[@sarahelliott3229]

I enjoyed this short a lot. One thing I kept thinking is why didn't he close the damn bedroom door!

[@Ghiaccio.]

RIGHT!??!?! WHO SLEEPS WITH THE DOOR OPEN!?!?!?

Shoutout to whoever did the music - GREAT job!

[@kattydover6356]

Great Thankyou!! İ thought at first it was going to be like 'The Landlady' Roald Dahl but it wasn't.

[@JoelGrant-ie4ly]

Mrs Philips must have been related to Hannibal Lecter.

[@prestofilms]

Nice little short film! There’s nothing like dinner at grandma’s! 😂

I was so sleepy that I didn't read title stating"Horror" and I ended up watching until the end. I was hallucinating all night a dog eating human flesh. Grrrrrr

What is the song she’s humming at the end…I’ve heard that in another scary movie, but I can’t remember what movie it was … helppp lol 😅
