A woman named Moa is on vacation in the solitude of a cabin, on a small Island outside of Stockholm. One day when checking her fishing net, an old metal box is stuck in it. She takes it with her and place it in a shed nearby, to dispose of later. Right after dinner, a weird sound is heard outside the cabin. She opens the front door, only to discover the box at her footstep.

Thanks for watching!! If you don’t recognize me I’m the girl in the box. Really happy with the response, bless you!
HEY @ HANNA.. I LOVED IT.. THE SPECIAL FX MAKEUP WAS SIKKKK.. U GO GURL.. MADE ME JUMP..👍🏼😜💯STAY SAFE DURING THIS TIME 🙏🏽😷🙏🏽
And who is the girl in the box now?
Thanks!! 😄💯
Lisa Henni plays the girl, an actress from Sweden.
Where are you from? Any other upcoming films?
Morale if the story: if u find a chained up box in the sea its probably best to leave it there.
Very good of english
Damn right! / Tommy
*Moral of the story: if you find a chained up box in the sea it’s probably best to leave it there.”
@@quiannealashley6743 that would be the wisest thing to do
The Real With Anna spelling be champ of ‘92
- coughs up key that clearly unlocks demonic box
- demonic box can be heard moving itself around, doesn't vacate house immediately
- unlocks demonic box
- shines flashlight into demonic box and sees no sides or back, just darkness
- STICKS HAND AND ARM INSIDE DARK, BOTTOMLESS DEMONIC BOX
Girl, you deserve what you got. That many dumb decisions in a row, you deserve what you got.
i mean yeah pretty much lmao. i was thinking while watching that my ass would’ve called the police or dropped the box off at the police station. a metal box locked with industrial chains thrown in the bottom of a lake just screams “murder” to me.
Agreed. The moment she took it home, she deserved what she got. It had chains on it for a reason. Lol.
The key was in the fish she ate…….she was doomed the second she touched the box and ate the fish. LOL😂
The Only Mystery about this short is WHY SHe DIDN'T RUN?? It took the person about 10 seconds just to lift the box over her head, an another 10 seconds to put the box over her head...in all that time, i would've been Out the House, In my Car, and 2 Miles down the road!
She already knew the box was trouble and tried disposing it but it keeps coming back to her, so running doesn't guarantee safety, that's horror movie 101: You're never safe from the ghost in a horror movie.
Archie Lewis People don’t always run from danger in front of you. / Sonny, Director
@@thereal_SonnyLaguna running is an action that could save your life in even a horror situation. However, not give you basically no chance at nothing.
@@thereal_SonnyLaguna my opinion says if your scared and in doubt, RUN!!
@@snapeyaoilover i disagree because if she would have ran, you noticed the ghost didn't get far after it place the box over the womans head. The ghost collapsed.
Moral: Don't accept mystery gifts on April's Fools Day.
Excellent film.
True that!
Too late, when the box choose you.
Great work
@@chadurot1773
I agree.
When black magic has marked your card it's a done deal and you've already lost.
Wish I was as determined to study as this box was to be opened.
Lol!
FA REAL @ KIRTI J.. I'M SUPPOSED TO B DOING MY RESEARCH PAPER..BUT ALAS.. HERE I B..😁😁STAY SAFE AND WELL DURING THESE TIMES 🙏🏽😷🚦🚦RASPECT
If you don't love it, don't do it., and if that's not an option then find a way to love it.
Like and i sit here, not working cuz the bar im working in is closed. Earning no money LIFE IS FUN
😂😂😂 so true
Note to self. Locked boxes that are chained and thrown into the ocean deserve to remain there.
True 🙄
Having a dancing frog come out of the box singing "Hello, My Honey", like in the old loony tunes cartoons might have worked too. Would have just been disturbing to see.
Ha! Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my rag time gal!
I love when some construction worker with a spacesuit in the future finds the box 😂
Best comment
If the box can put a key in my throat while I'm sleeping and cause me to vomit it, then it is well capable of opening itself, it doesn't need me at all.
Logically correct
I think the key was in the fish she ate. Lol
@@lizgonzalez7652 exactly my point.. :)
@@lizgonzalez7652 Have you never eaten a fish before? She would have noticed that.
@@lizgonzalez7652 exactly that's why the box was connected to the fish
Her: *throws up key*
Me: dOnT eAt kEyS hUnNy
Same energy, sis
DoNtEaTNoNfOoDiTeMs
It was in the fish she ate.
*Taylor*
She had no choice, once whatever it was put it's plan into motion.
Commonsense says she'd have known a key and not fish was in her mouth, as her teeth and tongue would have sensed it and her throat would have reflexed, but that voodoo whatsit just bypasses the brain every time. Lol.
She says it's not funny anymore! But, I don't recall her laughing her arse off the first time the box was left on her porch lol
I watch so much true crime that if I found a box like that I would have called authorities to deal with it; could be a head or body parts, never know. Another great tale of horror!
Yea same
Jeffrey Dahmer had a locked metal box, too, that he warned his father not to open!
My theory: the original girl in the box was tortured when she was alive and then stuffed in the box and thrown in the ocean to drown. When the living woman discovers the box, the girl is finally freed but has suffered so much that she's completely lost it, thus, tries to force the living woman to suffer the same fate she did, as a way of revenge (even if the living woman isn't responsible for the girl's torture).
Or: the box requires someone to be inside of it, so in order to replace herself, the girl sacrifices the living woman to the box.
Love your theory
Stephani Bell Good theories indeed. Came close with the second one! / Sonny, director
Second one has my preference but why would she die just after beeing out ??
Sly Lataupe Answer: the girl is already dead. The box controls her every moment, and has just the energy flow to put the box over the next victim, fresh meat to control. When the girl is free of the box’s power, she falls down, dead as she was.
Sonny Laguna bro, you nailed it 👍
Lesson learned : if you find a mystery box open it with your friends 😁😂
@@JudeeV1 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Judy V That's what friends are for 😉
that would be fun! lmao
Nah bruh, it'll be too tight for all of us to fit in the box😂😂😂
🤣🤣
Thanks for watching!! If you don’t recognize me I’m the girl in the box. Really happy with the response, bless you
Excellent job, so creepy.
So y’all had me legit terrified of a locked box. When she spit up the key and you could hear the box dragging ITSELF down the hall!Seriously creepy! Well done all!!!!
Oooooh, hell no, I’d been gone so quick when that hand popped out you would have seen smoke trailing behind me
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😜😜😜🙏🏽🙏🏽
Honestly, my first instinct was to grab those feet and help pull that poor person out of that horrible box. Yeah, guess I'm stupid.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@littlemrpinkness295 box in the bottom of the lake though.. if anything was alive, it wouldn't be good
Hahaha! 💝
Just because everyone is quarantined doesn’t mean they are safe. The horror shorts from “Alter” will keep everyone on the edge of their seats.
True 😁😁😁😁
While we hope everyone is safe and well in their homes, we hope we’re all disturbed together on ALTER.
I have been watching a story from Alter every night since I found the channel two weeks ago. The content of the films are superb. A big thank you to Alter for bringing us these stories and the producers, directors and actors of each film.
Thank god for Alter 🙏🏽🖤
@@hannaoldenburg_actress
An interesting concept, thanking a deity, as we enjoy watching evil run rampant.
A true moral dilema. Lol.
Back to watch again, this film is extremely horrifying for me as I have a fear of deep open water and am so claustrophobic that just the idea of being in that box is hideous!
Good job on this short by everybody involved.
Really
That acting at the end, wow....I feel like I could see the very moment where the main actress realizes that she is staring into the eyes of not some demon or monster, but the desperate victim she will soon become.
Oh my, over 100k views!! I play Moa in Mystery Box and it's the second time that I team up with my boys at Stockholm Syndrome Film. Thank you guys so much for watching, sharing and commenting on our short. Here's to many more projects to come! Love, Lisa
Almost 250K views now. :)
One of the BEST horror shorts ever made!! I've watched it over & over.
@How Not To are you serious?! it's a script she followed! Don't ask her, she didn't write it! Ask the one that did! She's the actor! She did her best!
If you don't like it don't watch! Simple as that!💁🏽♀️
Btw, great job girrl!
Loved it❤!
Great character!☺
You are an amazing actress welldone
the key was in the fish she ate. wow.
And she didn't notice a lump of metal while chewing?
@@hughjaanus6680 it's magic
She should have chewed her food better.
Yeah, I didn't think about that.
@@hughjaanus6680
No.
That voodoo shit pulls some clever stunts and there's no explaining it.
Lol.
This is one of the better horror shorts I've seen. The acting was exceptional and complimented the set perfectly. This film was put together very nicely. A talented film.
Reading comments while watching is very comforting.
Who thought that both will exchange the places, the real one will be trapped in that box forever
we have the exact mind sir.
@@adibahshafie8399 I was waiting to see some dope CGI as she shrunk into the box.
@@adibahshafie8399 sorry not a sir 😛
@@Ghost-jf3hu i was hoping for that too actually..Holy Shit are we some kind of long-distance relationship stranger dude hahah
@@kanikakanojia8880 i mean maam 😆😆
I always watch in small screen, just to be safe 😅
Me too
Lol.
Me too 😆😆😅
Me too😂😂😂
Me too 😂😂
Girl: crawls out of box
Everyone: looks at amazon box
Amazon Box: (0v0)
Usain Bolt could not have caught me when that box opened! lol
It was a great little short. The thing I found odd, Why go through the trouble of pulling that box out of the water and hauling it up to your house, if you are just going to store it on a shelf in your storage shed?
snackman2005 Thanks for your comment. Well, she never intended to find it, but since she did, we wanted her to just take of it since it is not something that should be in the ocean, but it is a bit unclear, I have to admit that. / Sonny, director
I just assumed she left the box in the shed to deal with later, at a more convenient time.
D. Grouard Exactly so.
D. Grouard yes. Waiting until morning to borrow the neighbours bolt cutters.
@@dolosdenada771 Haha good point. But I didn't see any neighbors.
A bigger mystery to my mind is why a single person living alone needs 2 large dining tables virtually side by side?
I love the suspense in Alter films!! It adds so much!!
I don't think there is any theory about this box. The woman still in a nightmare. A lonely girl, in the middle of nowhere, finds a well-secured box. It is how she feels. The box is just one more way to sink. She watches the body (her fears) come out without doing anything. She lets go her fears to enter in another destructive cycle of her life.
Read the video description and save yourself unnecessary typing.
Lol.
5:19 Did somebody notice the size of the moon ?
I did
kamlesh parihar 😂
Just noticed!
Hold up let me go see
Ooooo thats beautiful if it were real i suppose
Whoa, someone needs to see their dentist, ASAP!
Jokes aside, this was REALLY creepy, great atmosphere!
Thanks Renee! Yeah, being stuck for ages can do wonders to your overall health! / Tommy
Unfortunately, that's feeling relevant to us all we imagine.
@@MacReadyRJ LOL Not easy to finagle a toothbrush in such a tight spot! I'm guessing a facial would be next on the list :-)
I’ve done a facial scrub now and my skin has really cleared up, great advice ya’ll 💯
@@hannaoldenburg_actress You clean up very nicely!!! Fantastic job in this vid! Thanks for the nightmare fuel!! XOXO
Best entry by Alter in months. That was super. Keep up the good work on truly spooky horror shorts.
If you find a box in the ocean with that many chains on it, the ONLY proper response is to drop it back in and go home. Lol.
I thought she was going to open it and find J J Abrahms
Wow
Lol
I don't get it...
me- "Cmoonn...what's in the boooxx?"
Alter '"not until you ..."
me-"what's in the f***ing box?!"
Yes!!! 7
Yeeeesssssssss i want see in the box
Was this a Brad Pitt reference?
Lol Seven
Become....wrath
Can we just take a second to talk about how the camera person KILLED IT? The cimatography is impeccable!!
U guys deserve more subscribers than any platform tbh. All these movies for free and they are all extremely excellent
When a box forces you to open it. Even though you are smart enough not to open it.
Voodoo as opposed to voodon't, I guess. Lol.
😨😂😂
Oh man!!! Not every Mystery Box is a "treasure box", you have been warned 😛
I know I wouldn't mind finding a ' chick in the box.' LOL
@@jerryleroy9187hell! no way😅
That was disturbing enough, both concept and executing. Very well done! Bravo!
That feeling when some short is scarier than any horror movie
Amazing Short Horror in Quarantined at Home. Stay at home you will be safe. I enjoyed Mystery Box in Lockdown days. Alter keep up the good work 👌❤️
Thanks Muhammad! / Tommy
the electricity bill must be pretty high for her
Why?
@@abubakarabbas4339 too much lamp on
She got a good deal
I was like yo sup with this situation/!! Is there a reason for that?
@@hannaoldenburg_actress
I'm crying with laughter.
Brilliant, disturbing, poetically & perfectly told.
Worthy of the title 'Classic'.
This was absolutely terrifying and I loved every bit of it 🙃
I was not yet done with figuring out the meaning of earlier movie, and you're here with yet another one. 😂😂lov alter ♥️
Rupinder Kaur we gotta keep everyone on their toes!
Mujhe to ek ya do hi ka smjh me ata h bas alter ka...
Attraction is only intense
When mystery is involved
Hmmm...right
True that ✌
Moral of the story: boxes can't float. 🤣Kudos to the director and the two top notch actresses who, without so much as a single word, carry the whole movie on their shoulders.
That choking scene was great. I felt her lack of air through the screen.
If you cough up a key, you HAVE to open the box.
It's the law.
DO YOU? DO YOU REALLY?
"AWWWW!!!! What's in the BOOOX?!! What's in the BOX!?!!?"
Sheela in the box,Sheela ke jawani.
morale of the story: if u find a chained box in the ocean, better split it hardly by chainsaw
This is the perfect present to give to my boss for Christmas.
I would’ve opened it as soon as I got it to the house. Forget eating and washing dishes. Are you kidding me? Of course I would’ve regretted it but still!!! 🤣 Great little short. Never disappoints! 💖
🤣😂😅
That is one of the best short films I have ever seen. This has to be made into a full length movie.
Richard Taylor Thanks Richard, hopefully it will be one day! / Sonny, director
I would love to see this as a full length movie too! Though, it's very effective the way it is.
Honestly I think getting it done effectively in 10 minutes can take just as much skill as a full film.
@@Lugh444 exactly. That is why I prefer horror in short movies/stories. The "suspense> escalation> scare> twist" horror format works better in short movies. A full 90 minutes will either overexplain the monster which ruins the mistery or will fill with unnecessary side content that distract from the main plot.
Bore அடிக்கும்.. 👍🏻
What happened at the end? 🤔
it's always a head in a box. Sometimes more, sometimes less, but there's always a scary freakin head in a box haha
Oh ... just to listen to the sounds of the box dragging itself across the floor would have been enough for me to get the heck out of there. Quite engaging. Loved it.
Brilliant. Absolutely flawless little horror film. Could not fault it and I am very critical. Lighting, cinematography, score, pace, originality, acting ..... every aspect perfect. Could easily be the germ of a full length film.
This is the one of the most underrated RUclips channel ever
ALTER never disappoints us. ❤
Edit:Thankyou Alter😊
This is somy Hollywood level quality. Well done!
And I thought here are cards for the Spongebob Movie inside...
Nah its that embarassing photo of him from that Christmas party
xcopperx 561 And a string
@@Cherry-ne6zg ;)
xcopperx 561 yes
Now THAT'S what I'M talking about. BLOODY WELL DONE! Should be full length PLEEEAASE!! That's a phenomenal beastie that boxed girl and would LOVE more of her!!
She had the name "Fred" tattoed on her arm. The camera focuses on it a few times. I wonder if it has anything to do with the plot...
She had *ron* tatted on her other arm.
At least I thought it said that...then realised it said *later on we find out who Fred is* Lol.
She speaks Swedish. The word "Fred" means "peace" in Swedish. Don't know if that's what the tattoo is referring to or if it's supposed to be the actual name Fred.
@@whitenoise7604 yea I think the actress just happened to have a peace tattoo and they were focusing on her hands pulling up the net
This one needs a part don’t care how long we need to wait
Visually speaking, this is a masterpiece. I loved the story, even thought I didn't understand what happened in the end.
No
That box had ALTERnative motives for anyone messing with it. Love Alter Horror!!
🖤
1:53 - Removing myself from paying attention to the story for a moment, I just have to say that I love the layout of this little house. I think that I could make out just fine in a little house like this. Oh, now, back to the story.
God I love these, I’ve been watching WAY before the quarantine..now I have the whole family addicted to them. Thanks for keeping us entertained and help escape this real life horror show we’re all in....🙌🏻
You're certainly right about that!
Why do I feel like this is a dark version of Marshmello lmao
The concept is great, I love somewhat plausible creepy pasta style horror. The cinematography was really good too.
Well that was so freakin GOOD! I am normally annoyed by horror movies because there are too many holes in the storyline, bad acting, etc. But , this video was so suspenseful that I became as tense as a rock, and now I have a headache. Her acting so engrossing, so well done. I am usually disappointed with the creation of ‘monsters’ in movies and videos. But, I am the opposite of disappointed... instead, I am ghoulishly loving everything about this video. I am so impressed with the acting, lighting, sound, etc. I am amazed with not only the special effects of the girl in the box, but with everything. But, like I said, thanks to you, I have to stop what I’m doing and lay down for a while because my headache is killing me.
I’m not going to lie.. Alter has THE BEST short horror films around.. I’ve watched scream fest and omletto which have a few good ones BUT Alter has the best ones.. Every single one I’ve ever watched has been great quality and the acting is amazing.. So Alter is by far the most superior of them all lol.. At least to me lol
I still don't get how she was able to put the box away like that so easily...if it was me, I would've tried to break it open as soon as I got back lol.
key: falls down the drain
box: aw shiieet, here we go again.
Scary, this mini movie was amazing, Alter!!! Fantastic🤩🤯💕
Yolanda Baptista Thanks Yolanda!! / Sonny, director
OK, IF THIS COMES OUT OF A MYSTERY BOX I ORDERED ONLINE.....DUDE, I'M RETUNING IT....
Hahaha 😂
Just found all these short horror films! What an excellent way to spend the day! I haven't seen one yet, that I didn't like!
That truly was horrifying! The way that girl climbed out of the box and just had it on her head - arggggghhhh!!! And I loved how the lid was swinging back and forth and squeaking. That was terrifying. Why don't any of these people have dogs, goddamn it!!!😂
U know it's good when they find something on the bottom of a lake!!!!
@sunshine gamer it adds that mysterious touch, like why is it out here & who put it here?
What does it do for u then? Adds suspense, mystery or something else completely?
@sunshine gamer 🤔 so what does it add to u?
A simple yet powerful question. Well in this case with those chains around it & it being at the bottom of a sea I would say bad but u never know tho
Looks like an airline container with an air hostess hiding inside during a plane crash and the distressed soul got trapped inside..
i love that idea
The entire upcycling/recycling/repurposing/ community is shooketh! Who knew bringing old junk home could be so dangerous!
I was hoping the creature from the box will just greet and thank her for releasing it
Gotta thank my friend who told me about this. And here I am watching it at 2 in the night 😂
That's the best time to watch honestly. Stay ALTERed.
Truly love the creative story line, well done. Congrats !
Thanks Composer person! We loved to conjure this up! / Tommy
@@MacReadyRJ Welcome Tommy. Just keep going and sharing your art. All the success.
5:55 Imagine falling in , the box would've been mad asf
Opening Mystery Boxes is definitely a horror!
Loving ALTER absolutely slaying it with fantastic twists horrid turn and things that should be best left alone!! Delivering what most can't can you tell I've been ALTER binge on lock down!! Fucking awesome keep em coming darker the better!!👻💜💀💜👹💙 Nazia
Yees, agree!! 💯
Yeah I'm not alone please tell me which one is your favourite if you have one?👻💜Nazia
check out "Abe". It's beautifully twisted and really makes you think.
Sometimes I dont understand alter but am in love with the channel absolutely love the short films to bad some of these would make awesome awesome full movies keep it up alter love u from Canada
Good one!!! Spent most of the time thinking "open the box...open the box". A good film hooks you from the get-go...like this one. Thumbs up!
Honestly, who in their right mind would pull up a box like that in a lake and actually take it home?!?! You KNOW nothing good is bound like that and sunk!!
Good film! Didn't think I'd like it since I couldn't understand it but very intense! Thanks ALTER!
Because it's scientifically proven to ALWAYS be a good idea to stick your hand in a light-absorbing black hole
The way that thing kept showing up and moving I wouldn’t have opened it anyway. MONEY 🙅🏽♀️DONT🙅🏽♀️ MOVE🤦🏽♀️
This Should A Full Length For Sure..
Great Job All The Way Round..🏆🎥
Loved it! Everything about it was great especially the actress, the fear on her face was so real! Good one alter! 😃😃😃😃
Thanks for kind Words. Lisa Henni who plays Moa here is always amazing!
my kind of woman, pick´s up a knife at the first sign of trouble.
