Sometimes dreams, or nightmares, are linked to reality. This nightmare saved his life.

[@TheTexasViking]

You want to hear something really trippy? I don't believe dreams are just random pictures you see in your head. I believe that when you're asleep, you are able to see into other timelines that your life has taken. With every decision we make. The other decision that wasn't made is still made and life goes on from both decisions. Basically branching out like a tree. The other decision may end up having you lose your lives in 10 minutes and then the soul from your departed timeline goes back to the closest timeline and melds with the other soul. When you dream you are seeing those other timelines. I know people will then say well why do my dreams seem so erratic and like they don't make sense? That's because the operational program that controls this entire simulation is actively working to erase what you saw and distort what you saw in the dreams so that you don't figure it out. That's why dreams seem so weird and erratic. Because pieces are being taken away.

[@toxicflame2902]

@@TheTexasViking I've heard that dreams are experiences from your soul and possibly cryptid messages from the afterlife and I don't belive that all dreams are like that, but I do like to belive that some of my deeper dreams have those kinds of meanings. I mean I literally learned that some of my ancestors where native americains after I had a dream about sperits that possesed trees and objects and i could only see them when they pessesed objects but I could only hear them when they possesed the trees. and then after that dream i told my dad about it and how my dream resembled the belifs of some indigenous people, wich i learned in school the day before I had my dream, and then my dad told me that his side of the family, specificly my grandpa had indeginous roots being the mi'kmaq and that they enhabited the east coast of Canada. anyway I wanted to share my view along with a related experience, if you see this I want to know if you have had any of your own spiritual dream experiences!

[@TheTexasViking]

What makes you assume he wasn't dead in the end?

[@deadsailor79]

@@Raven77559because he woke up and rolled out of the street just before getting hit and probably being killed by a car. Why do you think he might be dead? Because he was still walking from one light to another still when he could have gotten in his van and probably called/radioed for help? (I did notice one burnt out headlight on the van and he turned away from it to walk to a different light and it looked like the battery died and the van light went out as the credits rolled). The cryptic message that said “lies”? I think you might be on to something but I just can’t seem to piece it together.

[@claudiuskeat8336]

This is how you make a horror movie. The build up, the slow burn, the tension, the terror. This short film is much more meaningful than hollywood movies in 2024 I'm so fed up with the jumpscares. You know it's horror done right when it doesn't make you just scream, it makes you shout "OH, SHIT!"

[@nerored6235]

Jump scares have their place but too many moves and games rely on them more than they should and not enough on atmosphere and tension building. Yes, getting startled bumps up your heart rate and nervousness but that's not the same as a slow buildup and reveal

[@Monius13]

I love the usage of sound here and the lack of vocal acting. This is a style choice that isn't easy to pull off, but is a very effective way to tell a story when done right. Exposition often creates a disconnect from the viewer. It's somebody else giving the information. This style, in contrast, can make you feel what the character does. So the information partially comes from within yourself. Anybody who has ever had night terrors knows the feeling of not being able to make a sound. You can't scream or even whisper. You may even be unable to tell if you're breathing or not. The usage of chalk was a cool style choice, too. Wherever you found to use for your filming location was great, also. I used to live in the middle of nowhere and I walked to the store into the next town at night. Started walking at midnight and didn't get there till 5am. There were many street lights that were out on the road I was walking down and the ones that were lit were very far between each other. So I was able to feel what the character felt in the film. I wish more filmmakers would use this method of storytelling, especially in the horror genre. Exposition and over-explanation is getting so tiring. Great work to everyone involved.

[@BlessedFallout]

you were doing 5 hour walks in the middle of the night to get some cigarettes? lol

[@Monius13]

@@BlessedFallout I was out of them and that was the closest place to buy them. I didn't have a car lol I'm so happy I quit smoking since then.

[@BlessedFallout]

@@Monius13 stop lying. It’s a made up story. Walking to the store that’s 5 hours away… and you have to come back. You don’t even smoke. You never mentioned you smoke and I wrote “cigarettes” as a random example, and suddenly cigarettes were the reason you walked! What a BS… stop pretending to be somebody you are not, just be you. Don’t resort to lying and making stuff up to get likes, it’s pathetic.

[@davidvied2507]

This was pretty well done… the tension, confusion, little details and clues trying to figure it out, the monster in the distance or all around , the feeling of dread and doom approaching… nicely done and better than most big budget movies out there … def a good job with limited resources and FX, proving you don’t need a lot to create something special

[@ZaharaV999-tl1er]

Another commenter suggested that he was, indeed, dead and pointed out that his character's name was "Dead Man Walking". Makes as much sense as any other explanation. 😮

[@MattieAgain]

[@jdizbeats]

The ending was pretty cool.

[@stroudcuster4483]

I think this has a lot to say about problem solving skills, or a lack thereof. The way he struggled to strike a match rather than lighting it off the still burning match. All the matches (resources) he dithered away rather than using them to reach one of the other islands of light. Making to the next light, then discovering he was back at the original one (wherever you go, there you are). Lighting a cig while under stress because choosing to smoke establishes an illusion of control. And yes, limping away from the running truck. Very well done.

[@Hoosier_765]

I'm missing it. Please explain to me how limping away from the truck is well done. Thank you.

[@GeneralSorrow]

@@Hoosier_765 Maybe he lost his skills.

[@MoonwolfAkirooo]

it reminds me of a story a friend of mine told me (we were talking about dog brains): A classteacher gave each children a thumb trab to solve. Every single one did the wrong thing a dozen of times. Instead of trying instantly new paths, everyone kept trying the same thing over and over again (this HAS to work, or doesnt it?!). It just shows that, sometimes, the solution can be SO easy but it will remain hidden. (for dogs, this means we need to show them new ways to behave, because whats obvious for US, just isnt obvious for them.)

[@IST123xy]

WoW! What a rollercoaster... the end was logic, but i was hoping for more. Well done! 👍

[@BlameScott]

I'm not entirely sure I understand why he chose to walk down the dark road alone, injured, towards an unknown destination rather than getting into the truck. That said, this was brilliantly done otherwise! Phenomenal concept, acting, cinematography, and effects!

[@nickfilippos3340]

When high-voltage electricity has passed through your body, driving is probably not a good idea. I mean, he can barely walk, how is he supposed to drive??

[@BlameScott]

@nickfilippos3340 I never actually said he should drive, but rather just to get inside the truck (and perhaps call for help?). Like you said, he can barely walk. So trudging off into the unknown, alone, injured, in the dark, hardly seems like the practical choice.

[@laniakeas92]

1) He's injured, can't drive 2) Probably creators wanted to show it's relatively safe to move through darkness to the light source, but just in case he still turns the flashlight on. :) I think they needed to show him walking to the light source like in alternative world. Indicating he really escaped and there is nothing to be scared of rn.

This was an AMAZING and HIGHLY CREEPY/CREATIVE short film! How come Hollywood doesn’t tap into these writers to make their films? They keep remaking movies that have been made over and over again. I mean how many times can you do “Halloween”?

[@mup_pet]

It's the curse of capitalism, I guess. Profit drives everything, and so you pander to where the money is: simple-minded movies that don't require too much thinking or concentration.

[@ludotoyhunter8492]

@ sad isn’t it? The messed up part is when GOOD things become commercialized. Smile, Halloween, Blair Witch Project all examples of good Indy movies that Hollywood grabbed and made commercial and messed them up.

[@jelly434]

Alright yeah, that was fun. I liked the whole 'hidden in plain sight' thing. Shouldn't have let us see the thingamajig so clearly though 👍🏻

[@Goldenmonet81]

That's one hell of a way to look at a near death experience. I understood why he chose to walk, 😅 homeboy was shook! Plus he was just electrocuted I think he wanted to just walk it out 😂. 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤣💯 loved it!

[@adamwright333]

That was my take-away as well. And I also agree that THINGAMAJIG was an interesting impression of an NDE. "The Light" is such a major component of NDE experiences. This short had me chewing on it for a while after viewing it, which for me is usually a sign of a well-made low/no-budget film.

[@DNTMEE]

Well, not so much to walk it off, but perhaps because he had "learned" from the nightmare and felt safer just staying in the light and walking to stay in the next area of light. Or, he felt he was in no condition to drive and that could result in his death as well. Most probably it was done that way to get us to watch the credits.

[@kylemaitland5892]

I think the thingamajig represents the truth and all the light posts represent lies he’s built to keep himself safe and when the “truth” aka the thingamajig shows its ugly head it topples everyone of his lies

[@erikd.phillips8811]

@@kylemaitland5892Now THAT’S a deep thought! 🤔

[@toxicflame2902]

An interesting thing I noticed is in the end credits the main character seems to get the title; "Dead Man Walking"(26:34) wich could be a of expressing that his experiance was a NDE as he was not supposed to bge alive and thus he would be a dead man living or in other words A dead man walking.

[@TacticalTurtles]

Wow this was really good! I'm really glad that once he woke up, the monster wasn't in the real world because a lot of bad horror shorts or movies will try to pull something like that for a cheap scare. I liked the "Lies" concept and the idea that this was all just in his head while he was passed out was really good. My only complaint would be the pacing. It was really slow at times. This works for some shorts or movies but it didn't really work here in my opinion. A lot of the scenes could have been cut out and the story would have still worked perfectly fine. Had a majority of the filler long shots been shortened or replaced I think it would have been much easier to watch. I also don't understand why he walked away at the end. His left foot was injured but he could still drive. Just doesn't make much sense to me imo. It doesn't bring the story down or anything, just a bit confusing. Great Short Film!

[@edaturk7529]

Really???

[@NorthernMouse52]

That's your opinion and your welcome to it, but you are wrong the story pacing was just fine! 🐭

[@TacticalTurtles]

@NorthernMouse52 If all we say is "great job, it's perfect!" The creators have no real worthwhile feedback, meaning they can't improve. Constructive criticism is important. I'd rather have someone who always points out my flaws than a yes man.

[@TacticalTurtles]

@@nickfilippos3340 He was able to lunge and roll out of the road, light up a smoke, stand up and walk. You could argue that he was took shaken up maybe but that still doesn't explain leaving the car on and walking for who knows how far until you get help. At the very least resting in the car would have been a smarter idea. (Not to mention that his left leg is the injured one. You use your right leg to drive) In Short, he could still drive in a straight line just fine based on his previous actions.

Base things on real life things they've heard or seen. Like the true story of the guy seeing the Upside-down lamp in his home, had a wife, 10 and 8 year old kid. While staring at the lamp one day trying to figure out why he was seeing only it Upside-down, he became aware as "waking up", in his back staring up at a lamp post on the sidewalk with prime standing all around. Found out he'd been knocked out for a few minutes by a guy, and had lived a while lifetime growing up and having his own kids. It was like real life to him. He had to go to therapy for years to mourn the fake family he dreamt up while knocked out.

[@DNTMEE]

A well done video in all respects. Still ... don't just drop the matchbox. Light it with the last match. First the inner part, then light the outer part with the inner part when it is just about burned out. Better yet, twist up each if them tightly first as it should slow down the burning process somewhat. Maybe even tear each into sections and twist each up to increase the overall burn time. Then there's using your clothing as something to burn for much greater time. Again, in pieces to really extend it. And if waking him up was the goal, his brain should have jump-scared him awake up using the monster right off instead of dragging it all out like that. OTOH, from a cinematic point of view, making him go through all that and somehow waking him up just in time is the way to go. And, there is the fact we don't tend to act logically in dreams either. We take things as they come with very little planning ahead (if any). Maybe his particular subconscious brain likes making him fight for his life instead of taking the easy, quick way out. I know mine does. It seems to particularly like making me unable to find my car, having the plane I'm in crash, and unable to find my way back into a building I just left. Maybe it's little ways to get revenge for me making it work so hard while awake.

This was great and scary, but I have a few questions Why did he keep wasting matches by setting them down while walking to the other light when he could’ve just lit his jacket on fire and had a torch? He could’ve even just lit the box on fire and used his hair to embolden the flame. He should’ve just hopped in the car to sit awhile, then drove away because walking with an injured leg just down a dark road is kinda weird when u have a car WHY did he try lighting a match on the box when he could’ve just touched it to the other match? Shouldn’t he have just not trusted the words immediately when it said that monster thingamajig was helpful? Like I would have just said “nope I’m not trusting that thing or these words I’m outta here” Still good and kinda scary tho nice job

Wow ! What a superb film ! What a twist ! Better than Shyamalan ! Congratulations, cast and crew ! Hope that 'thingamajig' isn't waiting for me the next time I electrocute myself !
