The Whistle | Psychological Horror Short Film

[@brendonkranz7295]

Great film!

[@demijour1234]

That is when you like a bratty kid, taking something that is not their own and playing with it then throwing it away and crying because they got caught, lol. Good on you. His best friend dies and decides to play with fire. Great film and great acting by all.

[@SLOTHSRIDEUNICORNS]

Well they HAD a bratty kid.

[@christibarrick1768]

@SLOTHSRIDEUNICORNS It wasn’t their kid. She said it was her niece. lol

[@demijour1234]

@@christibarrick1768 I don't think I said it was their kid, which I knew? Just that she was a bratty kid, lol She was a brat, taking something that was not hers off the shelf and when the adult asked for it back. She hid it behind her back and threw a tantrum, threw it to the ground and ran off crying for attention, lol. Then again, thank goodness for her brattiness because he got exactly what he deserved, lol.

[@Gallop4Me]

I agree. Kids should be taught to keep their hands off things that do not belong to them.

[@demijour1234]

@@Gallop4Me For sure. :)

[@MarzannaMorana]

Great film!! I love it. Fun fact: The Aztec death whistle is a pre-Columbian wind instrument that was used in Mesoamerican cultures. The whistles are known for their frightening, woman screaming like sound. Archaeologists believe the whistles were used in burials and sacrifice rituals to guide the souls of the deceased. Thanks Google. I have one, and MY DOGS HATE IT. 😢

[@FeralMess]

Wow, great stuff. I was always fascinated by such whistles... And now even more. If you will need a composer for your next project -- here I am. Always wanted to try :)

[@edaturk7529]

Brilliant and original piece with great acting. Bravo

[@ObservantPiratePlus]

I have that exact one. It's the best kind, and yes, it works like a charm (or a curse?), especially on Halloween. Good times.

[@adamburling9551]

I knew he wasn't going to just walk away from it after he's used it on others.

[@taracollins5597]

Exactly. He knowingly used it for a dark purpose & then thinks just throwing it away (and smiling no less!) will fix everything. No one works for free, particularly not Evil.

[@robinkhalawan3564]

Scary, suspenseful short, among the best I have watched. What a ghastly looking and sounding whistle.

[@jassonbradley]

Outstanding editing and filmmaking, Ryan. Totally enjoyed the process and being part of such a talented and awesome group!

[@ryanthomasfilms]

You carried the whole thing Brad. Acting top notch.

[@rosiea]

This short kept me at the edge of my seat! Thrilling and unexpected end to this short! Great writing, directing, and filming😳👀❤

[@ryanthomasfilms]

Thank you so much!

[@daviddschool]

Great little film with great music/sound design

[@MegaKittykat05]

This short was great...amazing story line...better than lots of full feature films...👍

[@ryanthomasfilms]

Thank you!

[@TurinTurambarTolkien]

Amazing. In a time when horror shorts typically have no real plot and expect the viewers to write the story, I have now watched two by the same channel which were, both, finished and good.

[@ryanthomasfilms]

@@TurinTurambarTolkien thank you so much. Means a lot!

[@TurinTurambarTolkien]

@@ryanthomasfilms Hey, no problem. .....True, I would have preferred if the ex would have gotten it, instead of him, but at least it was done and it had a decent plot. Hehehe. 😎

[@greendesertgoddess]

Excellent!

[@palriley]

Great film!!

[@brianpan6453]

Extremely well done.

[@prondlee]

make some more short films-good job!👍

[@ryanthomasfilms]

Thank you! More will come!

[@KarinaArklie]

Brilliant horror, this poor man died also at the end. 🎉

[@taracollins5597]

Poor man?? He should have known better than to use something that he knows nothing about.....then to leave it around where his daughter can use it too! The Piper is never bilked.

[@Nat-rv3cp]

@@taracollins5597his ex wife said the little girl was her niece, she’s not his daughter lol. But yes besides that I agree with you 👏

When the innocent out plays the evil…

[@nicolezajakowski7737]

Nice film!

[@Gallop4Me]

I thought the acting was very convincing. I liked it.👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻

[@Say_No-2_Animal-Abuse_]

3:47 LOL He acted like he just took a hit off of a major mind altering substance. 🫢🤣

[@LadyDi0514]

Great short! Should be on Alter!!!

[@lisapoe888]

This is better than Alter imo

[@johnadams1600]

good one

[@notthejenfrombackthen679]

So basically "karma," right?! This was good and had a lot of good, natural acting

[@TruthSurge]

That's how they actually sound! Like some woman screaming bloody murder. hahah I sculpted one from sculpey clay and it sounded just okay but not that great. imagine 50 of them going at once. whew.

[@SLOTHSRIDEUNICORNS]

We would all die. Do you really want that?

[@vrazynueron]

The movie is good and intriguing

[@VanssaRios]

It a short 😂

[@paullevine1813]

I found it odd he never asked exactly how to use this thing so he just blows into it with zero thought & paid the price of losing his friend then everything else he does is also without though so he paid the full price . Best to know just what you have when it comes to mystical death items. Not a smart man as we all know once your stuck with it you can't just toss it away as they always come back . Interesting this thing was actually a whistle for the pre Columbian period. At least that may have been a real thing but I doubt they looked like this one did. They had a variety of shapes & this one we see I have seen for sale on Amazon as a toy.

[@taracollins5597]

Its scary what they 'turn' into toys, isn't it. But then again, Parker Brothers owns the rights to the Ouija....which is not a toy. They also had versions of the Zuni Fetish doll from Trilogy Of Terror on Amazon. Unbelievable after watching that film (and learning they are REAL) that anyone would buy such an object.

[@jessc2090]

Wow! I have one of those whistles!

[@timbragg4546]

It's not bad, interesting.

[@cry-cry1275]

Really appreciate when the characters in this sort of situation turn out to be unlikable, lol x3

[@MissJiggy2U]

And what exactly was it the little girl got so terrified of? Maybe if she wasn't misbehaving she wouldn't be so scared.....

[@tenatena9100]

Great work I am a writer and I have an idea for a short film that I would like to present for free. It is very unique and the first of its kind and will achieve hundreds of thousands of views if implemented... The idea talks about one of the psychological illnesses that the famous (Vivien Leigh) suffered from. This film is very easy. The only difficult part of it requires a filming location in a hospital or clinic in order to film a treatment scene

[@000aleph]

Straight-forward execution of a nice Stephen King-like set-up. While the acting was mediocre, I absolutely loved the music.

[@christibarrick1768]

I think you’re being too harsh. I thought the acting was superb.

[@aaonbrown2517]

You get an email when your landlord dies?

[@christibarrick1768]

Apparently to notify you of a new landlord, yes.

[@Bhawme]

Too scary man.....

[@ach6239]

What's about❔

[@naniajja9221]

The weapon eats the owner

[@tonimetz2426]

Yeah, no . That's a hard pass for me😮

[@albertchehade9916]

"Take care, drive safely".....why?

[@Peekaboo-Kitty]

Totally predictable. You just knew that brat of a kid was going to take it! Good video though.

[@CygnusStarz]

😊

[@JohnTLyon]

So, the Aztec god of death lives in a chia-pet?

[@taracollins5597]

Do you mean the last scene? No, its showing the guy (and the viewer) that it 'reappeared' out of the water where he threw it.
