The blonde, is the most enthusiastic vampire I've ever seen. Super adorable personality.

until she sees and smells your blood.

She must be a fresh new vampire. Old vampires can be quite boring because of how nothing fascinates them anymore. 🤣

[@divyanshimishra7915]

Vampires are always made out to be these tough, evil creatures, it was refreshing to see a vampire with an almost human side. I could sit through an entire movie with these characters and never get tired of the story. Great work!

Yep ;)

Now the burning sensation in the nose makes perfect sense. The coppery taste of blood has that effect, as I remember from boxing, long ago. Honest, it was boxing. 😉😂😂😂 You could tell she wasn't quite human from the damage she did to that guy's door panels. Hilarious vid..."Why do you have to smell so fcukn good?!" Good work all round.

[@billyandrew]

@@nelliesilvers1210 For future reference, I can confirm there is a direct connection between the eyeballs and testicles. A swift, hard kick to the gonads makes the eyes water profusedly. Even a good squeeze with a wrenching movement delivers the same result. 😭 Having administered the correct pressure you can walk away, whistling nonchalantly, as your aggressor will be in no fit condition to retaliate, beyond a strangled gargling noise. 😜😂 The Nobel Committee keeps refusing me my prize for putting this hypothesis forward, even though I have volunteered, using members of the committee, to prove my theory correct.

That's why it was a little annoying, that this was the top comment, it spoiled the video without opening the comments

[@rituparnagupta5923]

Okay! Should've taken that, "lived a thousand years ago in a town", literally. And the protagonist didn't even seem to care about the fact that she was assaulted. She was desperately looking for her badge even after all that happened. I guess she was really guilty about drinking human blood.

[@peterluxus7382]

3:13 this addiction scene is intense!!! And really well made! 7:06 "just a sip" very good, building up the suspense 11:51 this one scene is way too long (could be just the 50% of the length and still transmit the idea) 12:06 ok now I understand

[@theblackflame4002]

This was really clever, I thought nothing of the thousand year ago line because I have people close to me who suffer from addiction and they'll say things like "in another life, or a lifetime ago' so the statement seemed innocuous. Rally good job with this.

It's Boo F***ING Hoo... Incredible...

[@DubVDiva-si6nc]

@Rakefet Abergel Girl, your acting in "Boo" was absolutely AMAZING! All of your faces, movements, crying, lines, etc. Had MY anxiety stressed out! Haha! Ten stars for starring and directing this at the same damn time! Wow! Just wow! I am curious, if youd like to divulge the information... How did you come up with the idea for making this film? Have you personally or someone close to you, ever struggled with addiction? Or, is there another way you came up with the idea? I must admit, knowing first hand what true addiction is and the TRUE HORROR that comes with it, you did a phenomenal job combining the reality and fantasy pieces to convey: "THE ADDICT". You portrayed the cravings, "war stories", chit chats after a meeting, emotions, temptations, guilt, fear, struggle, loss, etc. everything, related to addiction so well in 14 min!!! What a brilliant horror twist- incorporating the vampires and how if they truly walked among us, they too would need some sort of recovery program to help them and US (humans) coexist. Just like "real drug addicts/recovery"... Recovery helps us ALL! Teaching and informing people in a variety of ways and giving them the "tools" to support and live with addicts in our family or friend groups along with educating and guiding addicts through 12 step programs to learn how to live sober, clean lives; many people in today's society have some knowledge of this since the statistics show, addiction in today's world affects some 34million of us in some way or another! Secondly, when an addict "fails" it doesn't only hurt them. Devi, is physically and mentally hurt by the man who gave her the first drink, but, it also hurts the ones who love the addict most. In many cases, loved ones are hurled right back into the F-ed Up World of Addiction right along with the addict who has been lead astray or "failed" to stay clean. Devi and her fiance portray this very well. He tells Devi he will stay with her no matter what and forgives her almost immediately before knowing the circumstances. He tells her that they are in HER journey together and, that he will do whatever it takes to help her... Almost enabling her. He convinces Devi to believe that even the worst thing she could do, wouldn't make him break up with her. BAM! The addicts mind then takes control of BOTH of them! The addiction takes over! Sadly, this is yet another awful TRUTH to how real this disease is and how powerful it can become for some people and those around them. It consumes BOTH of them... In Devis case, literally consuming/EATING her man and in his case, well, becoming the midnight snack 🍫 Aaahhhhhhh!!!!! The irony. I think on a deeper level, this really captures how devastating addiction can be and how hard it can be to stay sober, and how easily an addict falls right back into full blown addiction, even after many years of sobriety. It also shows how easily loved ones can fall victim to this disease BC they think they are helping, but little do they know they are only being manipulated by pure evil. Even though, addicts do truly love their friends and families so very much, unfortunately, the affliction of any substance abuse is VERY real and can sneak up out of nowhere and literally suck the lives out of everyone in "its" path. Awesome way to begin the 2 week horror extravaganza, Alter! You've definitely altered my state of mind today!!! ❤ #VampireLivesMatter

[@TheRakefetAbergel]

You got it right. ;)

[@VegaMain]

So not a liquor drinking problem, a blood drinking problem! Amazing!!
