Miss Ava Cantrell Lana McKissack this is one of my favorite short movie. And I was wondering what happen to the other guy? And at the end you both are the 'possessed' one, right?
Of all the RUclipsrs creating short film's lately, this was honestly the first one that was not only believable, but incredibly enjoyable! Seriously great job to everyone involved, this is one of the few I would love to see made into a full length film!
A lot of people seem confused about what happened, myself included. So from what I gather- they're both long dead. However, the child refuses to show herself to her mother and tries to hide from her (I think it's a common belief that ghosts can choose who to show their selves to, and I guess this extends to other ghosts). The mother is one of those psychopath moms who believe they love their children even after murdering them. She convinces that psychic to come to her house so she can see/find her child.The psychic can see the distressed child, and realizes from what the mother is saying that she must have killed the child, and so refuses to help the mother. The mother kills her, and presumably, the screams/noise made neighbors call the police.
Um thanks? DIdn't really need the patronizing comment. I clearly understood the video, I just said I was also confused out of politeness for those who didn't understand what was going on.
I think I never get freak out by a short horror because some times they would go a little cheap on the atmosphere, the tension, etc. Not this. This short blew me away. I love the sound design and how much of it contributes to the plot in such a short amount of time. The pacing was on par with what I expected a good horror movie to be. I hope there will be an opportunity that comes your way because of this work. I'm excited to see where it takes you down the road!
Argh! Please, please, please! Add captions! It's too loud at times to wear headphones, but I can't hear the whispering without the volume cranked up!!! Half way through and I'm already on the edge of my seat!!! Soooo, freaking awesome!!!
I watch alot of horror movies (the good ones) and this guys was amazing. It was like it was filmed in a studio, beautifully captured and executed!! Can't wait to see your other projects.
Now that's what I call horror. You guys know this craft. What you have all done is totally fantastic. Thanks!!! I'm teary, not because I am sad, but I just saw art.
Smoothiefreak Thank you, Akilah! "This is Not Fun' creeped us out, too. About fell over on, "Nah, homie. I'm out." :). Congrats! If you ever make it out to LA, let's do something!
This is good. Better than most of the horror movies in theaters. I came across this while binge watching short horror films, now I'm just binge watching yours!
Wow can't believe I missed this. This and Joey's horror short are the best on internet! Well done guys, you seriously deserve like millions of views, keep at it!
Y'all never cease to amaze me Lana! :) I love that this was written and produced better than the majority of the horror films on television right now. Amazing.
That damn jump scare in the beginning is off the chain!!! SCARED the shit out of me!!! Hold on I think I need to check my damn panties for skit marks!!! LMAO.........
Freakin Genius!!! This needs to be a full length movie!! I was watching this through head phones and my family started looking at me weird because I kept on jumping off my seat. lol You guys did a fantastic job.
This is a second viewing of this amazingly well done piece . Outstanding original story with all the power of a full length movie . Ava Cantrell and the other actors did an excellent job of pulling us into that creepy house with them . So , as a simple horror short video fan , WOW !! Seriously , one of the best shorts I've seen and THIS ONE IS THE BEST 👏👏🎉🎆🎇🎉👏👏 THANK YOU ❣
So, that gasp at 4:48. *As soon* as it happened, the video suddenly went out of full screen and the whole laptop froze. Congrats on a gasp that strong. XD
I liked it a lot, my only issue is the plain clothes policemen. For a domestic call like that, It would be uniformed patrolmen that would show up. Homicide does not come out until it is determined that they are needed. Uniformed are always first on scene. That was my only problem with not being able to believe the story line. My inside law enforcement knoweledge kept me from it. For example, when the officer approached the little girl, a real officer never wouldve walked up and touched her shoulder like that, thats not how it works, he would of identified himself as a an officer and asked her to turn around. That kinda stuff in movies bothers me Lol Im a huge paranormal fan though, so I really enjoyed it otherwise. It would make an awesome storyline for a full length film.
Thanks for your comments Jill! The detectives were always intended to be uniformed patrol, but the costumes didn't make it to set on the day so we had to improvise a little. The walk up to the girl was originally longer in the edit, with him calling out to her, but we felt like it dragged the pacing down and dulled the scare, so I cut it. When we make the feature, I'd love to hear any law enforcement insight you might have!!! Anything to make it more realistic and believable is helpful.
Holy hell. That was actually scary and original. I haven't been spooked by a scary movie in ages so I'm sorry but I didn't expect much, but this was genuinely creepy and so good. And Lana...who knew under all that cute there was so much terrifying!? Great job!!
I loved this short film. The excellent story, the scenery, the atmosphere and the actors ... I would have liked the film had lasting longer, like a feature film. Mayby one day...??? I hope so ! Excellent, excellent, really excellent short movie !👏👏 Congratulations to all participants.👍
Out of all horror short films I've seen, this is one of the best! Literally, this gave me chills! Also, by the way, this gives me 'Conjuring' vibes. Great work! (p.s. this should become a movie!)
I never knew Lana could be so creepy!!!! This video was freaking incredible and spooky! I would buy this and watch it if it were a full movie. The effort and time involved must have been huge but it paid off. Seriously I had to watch it twice. Great job :D
Very nicely done! Great quality...the sounds and everything. You guys need a full feature! The acting wasn't silly like I expected! Real scary piece! Looking forward for more!
OMG! 1.- This is an amazing video. Really scary. 2.- Lana and Nathan doing something I'm not use to see from them, a really creepy performance. You both are very talented. 3.- Yes I want this as a full movie. If Del Toro did Mama, why not this one? Congrats
Holy Shit, Lana I'm gonna have to call you Buffy the way you slayed me with your acting skills! Yesss so on point! I loved the transition to the scene where you were trying to get in contact with the child, it was all shot brilliantly! And the story and the whole concept was great. You and Nathan are definitely the king and queen of Halloween RUclips videos! Good job XD
This was absolutely beautiful! Very awesome job! Myself and some friends were planning on making short films but this one really got on my top 5 with BloodyCuts film "Don't Move"! You guys are awesome!!
I am so honored to play Rachel in THE PASSING! Wow this turned out amazing! So proud of this, and so proud of everyone in it!
You are so talented, Ava! We loved working with you!
Miss Ava Cantrell Lana McKissack this is one of my favorite short movie. And I was wondering what happen to the other guy? And at the end you both are the 'possessed' one, right?

+RascalHooligan ding ding ding correct

+RascalHooligan wait what? wasn't trying to be patronizing. sorry if it came off that way. just excited that you got it.
+RascalHooligan /Thanks for the explanation..lol...i was kind of confused on what the film was about..
+Linda Hernandez if you want, I'll send you the extended cut. i think you'll see the film differently. DM on twitter if you're interested.
The music was moody, atmospheric, and sounded like what you would hear in a big budget movie. Very well done, whoever did the soundtrack.
Some of these short films are equally as good as a full length film, keep making these great little films.
"*thank* you dispatch" is a criminally underrated line

One of the best horror shorts on RUclips, if not THE best. The acting and atmosphere were especially strong. Kudos to all involved.
I watch alot of horror movies (the good ones) and this guys was amazing. It was like it was filmed in a studio, beautifully captured and executed!! Can't wait to see your other projects.
allyallgoyolo Wow. Thank you. We are looking forward to doing more projects like this very soon.
THIS IS AMAZING! I would pay to see a full length version!
Now that's what I call horror. You guys know this craft. What you have all done is totally fantastic. Thanks!!! I'm teary, not because I am sad, but I just saw art.
I adore how much is left unknown here. Also absolutely love the sound design in the last few seconds of the credits!
This is as good as a movie! Nice cinematography and color!
This is super great! I've been dying to see other shorts people put together from their spaces, and this is fantastic.
Smoothiefreak Thank you, Akilah! "This is Not Fun' creeped us out, too. About fell over on, "Nah, homie. I'm out." :). Congrats! If you ever make it out to LA, let's do something!
Smoothiefreak We almost have the same name! never seen someone who did XD
This is good. Better than most of the horror movies in theaters. I came across this while binge watching short horror films, now I'm just binge watching yours!
This has got to be one of the best shorts I've seen in a long time. Great job
This short movie is much better than any known blockbusters.
This was so good. Great acting! KUDOS y'all!

Wow can't believe I missed this. This and Joey's horror short are the best on internet! Well done guys, you seriously deserve like millions of views, keep at it!

This was awesome. Easily on of my favorite horror films. Would be an amazing full length movie
That was really good! I watch all the horror shorts but this one really nailed it -true horror!
That damn jump scare in the beginning is off the chain!!! SCARED the shit out of me!!! Hold on I think I need to check my damn panties for skit marks!!! LMAO.........
Hi Lana, great video! Excellent acting, and great use of framing. Thanks for sharing.
Freakin Genius!!! This needs to be a full length movie!! I was watching this through head phones and my family started looking at me weird because I kept on jumping off my seat. lol You guys did a fantastic job.
This is so well done. This is well executed. The lighting, the transitions, the acting. Kudos.

Let me get this straight. The mother and daughter are both ghosts? How did the psychic get there? I need answers!
FictionExistence
I think the mom was possessed
Sound, lighting, makeup, music and characterization all excellent. More, please.
So, that gasp at 4:48. *As soon* as it happened, the video suddenly went out of full screen and the whole laptop froze. Congrats on a gasp that strong. XD
This was a proper short film, I appreciate all involved
I love this!! its better than most full length horror movies nowadays
Hopefully we get to make that happen!
I spilled my coffee all over my shorts That jump scare at the beginning
Wow! Just wow! Thank you so much for the great short. No....GREAT short.👏✔🥇👋💕🇦🇺
I really liked the plot and twists of this and all the actors were spectacular. Well done!
THE ACTING WAS SO GOOD. WHAT A PLOT TWIST.
***** Huzzah!
I liked the quiet whispering in the background. It just made it feel more scary.

After watching several short horror movies this Sunday morning, I'm really happy to see acting this convincing! Plus the story's great.
