Right when she mentioned it moving closer as you die, I knew shit was going to go down because he'd already made a pretty big leap the second time we look out the window.
imagine wanting loads of things on your 18th birthday, like a new car or something, but instead you get a terrifying man who is with you for the rest of your life.
"There's a weird creepy man outside and he's just staring at me." "It's ok sweetie just think of him as a friend." "But now he's standing in the room." "OMG NOOOOOO!!"
I think the demon symbolizes that unsettling feeling of getting older and dying. The more older you get, or the closer it gets, the more it scares you. I think the reason why it appears in their 18th birthday is because it is an age that is considered mature. The mind starts thinking about the future more, and that's what made them aware or finally see the demon. It also kinda makes sense that the mother says it's what made them thrive. The fear of dying and growing old pushes everyone to live a life that's worthwhile. Edit: Keyword: "symbolizes"
I think it's just them knowing when they'll die, so they are not afraid to do stuff with high risk. They just get the high rewards because they know it's not their time yet
It isn't the demon stalking them that makes them successful. It's an intergenerational satanic bloodline. They sell their souls to be successful. The demon is the price they pay.
Yeah, like what's the point if he jumps right to you only just a moment before you die... then again maybe it works only for a natural/health reasons death and not really for dying because of outside influence like car crash or earthquake...
@@toncek9981 I was thinking that it's basically plot armor. You can't die until this guy gets near so you're basically immortal till then. That could explain the family's success. I could think of a few ways to get rich since I know I wouldn't die doing something.
@mykellederickpalad7883 Huh, that would make sense... if it was actually approaching you gradually until your death, that is. But what's the point if it jumps to you abruptly in the last minute? Plot armor is a bit useless if it disappers suddenly without previous warning... Btw, while I can see that working plot armor can be perhaps useful, I can't really think about specific use. Like, sure, you're basically immortal for the moment, so you can go and do some dangerous but profitable stuff... BUT, who says that you won't end up in jail or maimed and crippled or even in a life-long coma?
6:41 I like how only three creepy dudes show up and three family members see them, while the rest of the family stands around like they don't see anything. It means that not everyone in the room died in the earthquake and some of them survived.
Not necessarily, there are three in the shot but almost all them turn their heads one at a time before the camera cuts. At least four people turned and looked. They can only see their own, so it's not a given anyone survives.
I guess the earthquake killed the entire family like the house collapsed on them. That would explain why all their sentinels just suddenly appeared behind them.
But there not as many sentinels as there were people, and hers was not right behind her, it was behind her mom. She may have survived along with some other relatives

There were four. One behind the mom, and then the three with the others. Same basis just instead only three will live out of the whole family. You were still right though, just didn’t count the mom and daughter. So 5 out of the 9 will survive. Also thanks for pointing this out I didn’t even realize the multiple ones before I saw this and went back. :)
I figured it was gonna get closer immediately but I thought it would have at least been outside of the window. Since it's in the room pardon me while I hop out the window lolz
Hello fellow overthinker, I’ll try and explain in depth. This person has just turned 18 and is explained by her family that she has a gift. The gift is that there is this demonic/supernatural entity that appears once you turn 18, and this entity determines your life span. It does based on the distance it is from you; so if it’s very far away, your life span is very long, vice versa. Now some people might see this as a curse, knowing when you die might seem like a good thing to know at first, but it’ll naturally make you want to change fate’s course and alter the date of your death. In the video, the entity now appears much closer to her, and some of the other family members’ entities also have come closer. It doesn’t say diectly, but it appears that something like an earthquake happens, which takes the lives of most of the family members, specifically the ones who had their entities very close to them. How did they acquire this “gift” you may ask? It’s never stated directly, but that’s what’s nice about short films. It leaves it up to your imagination. Did a past generation make a deal with the supernatural? Were they cursed at one point, but now they see it as more of a gift? Anyways, hope this helps! Edit: typos
I guess, I understood it as it will come to the person who is going to die but it came into room to all of them because an earthquake killed them all. It wasn’t the creep because it is like a lifespan not a killer.
@@KushTaco20 I thought the same thing, but an earthquake seems like a rather weird way to end it all. Not as "scary" as I would have imagined. My initial thought had been that the sister (or whoever that disapproving lady was) left the room to go get a weapon and then killed them all, and that's why all of their monsters were there: because they were about to be murdered by a family member who... maybe had had enough of the monster thing? I dunno. And then the champagne glasses toppling over and that was just because of the, like, scream of the monsters propagating through from whatever universe they're from or whatever.
Well i would freakout, i mean its true when it was with you the entire time you will get used to it, but men it was far away before and then sudenly on your side, ill die right there due to heart attack☠@@FriendlyNeighborhoodGayGuy
Watch it again. They said she will see it on her 18th Bday. And only she could see hers. So they were fixating on the spot where she was staring. The one thing they could see was the table and items shaking....kmowing she was telling the truth
there's only two type of people which watch short horror films on YT 1.Scroll down to only see a bit the film. 2.Who properly watches the movie. im the first 1
This is a great horror film, it isn't like those getting cursed or something haunting you type, instead the people in this story died because of natural cause, they just use the creatures to tell them their death date getting near which strikes more fear in people since people fear death. This short film is like the Dollmaker, using a new perspective to tell the story
I don't have a strange ass family that likes to have this thing as a gift & if you make it to 50 it's as each birthday is more like one step closer to having this thing as your best friend !!! They don't look all that bored just scared cause they all see it up close so you can guess what's next & from the way her sister acted she knew what sort of gift was coming. I could be wrong & it really just came for some cake ...
I think that you are more likely to live each day like it is your last when you are forced to deal with your mortality. If you were told you 12 months to live, you would accomplish more in that 12 months than most people do in their entire lives.
@@davidduncan9050 Yeah, but the rate at which they approach isn't constant, per what happens in this short film. Once the family got into a dangerous situation, their sentinels all basically teleported behind them.
They probably too focused on their daughter that they didn't notice the sentinels. Like the mother said, you'll forget it's even there@@UltraStarWarsFanatic
I know there's been a few comments on this already, but I definitely came to watch this based on the short I saw earlier. Love ALTER, have been a subscriber for years now!
Oh I get it.. This does mean that when you turn 18 that's your first step to dying.. Either of old age or something. This means that when we turn 18 we become mature enough to know that we will die someday and that death is just waiting for us. Sometimes death is closer than we thought. Even if everybody thinks that death is not now, but you know. You know death is right in front of you. The older you are, the nearer it is. ..in this film, I'm guessing they were near them since some of them if not all are gonna die. The sudden earthquake might be the cause. The family just had a way to see death and be protected by it (in a way that they could potentially avoid getting killed) at least until they truly come to the point that they will die at their destined time....IT comes nearer when you're in danger and when possibility of dying is added... IT comes nearer when you grow older....Some in the family also said that most of them went insane... I could understand... Who would be comfortable with that look and that sound... Is the management so low on funds that they had to resort to zombies in a black suit.. At least if theyre zombies.. Let them have a nice face and actual ability to talk and you know... User friendly?... They should really watch Black Butler.. But just the abilities, face, elegance and companionship.. Not the 'I'll eat your soul once you die thing'.... Eh... Not sure though
I think they presented a face of Death i.e. Body undergoes this process of decay ( post mortem stages). Now, this could be interpreted in a way that they are not going to have a peaceful death but a death of ugly kind. That's why 'they were seeing ' their death as such ( which makes them someways responsible for their vision {The reason for insanity in family}). Or the production team wanted to have a scary face to add to intensity of horror. They anyways didn't have a quiet , peaceful death, one prays for.
It wasn’t cause it was everyone’s time to die, it was her time, and since you see more then 1 in guessing the other sentinels are some of her families, which meant it was also their time to die, since the room wasn’t full of them then not all the family must have died from that
omg--that creature scared the SHIT out of me. When he opened his mouth while standing behind 'mommie dearest' I screamed. Damn, Alter, you're killing me! It's great! haha
You could stop watching movies and just watch a recap, stop playing games and just watch a speedrun and stop listening to music and just read the lyrics, if you like it that way.
@@DoubleSidedSpoon tbh, after watching the video I felt the short clip made the acting appear to be better, and I was disappointed there wasn’t more to the story. If you want to find some really well done short films I suggest going to the channel Omeleto.
when she went under the frame, does hers go away? I mean, something changed, and because of the earthquake, they were there, if there was no party, no reunion, no deaths, right?
This is incredible, the jump scare was really well orchestrated and as a big horror fan I don't scare easily but the foreboding sense of doom or whatever elitist nerdy explanation you want to give it, was the best I've experienced in years
I was thinking about this, and it might be over speculation, but I noticed everyone’s was behind them directly, but hers was in front(behind the mom, that was also able to see the same entity). Was she spared due to her repositioning? No other entities spawned, and the original fixated on the mother
I had a paranoia in the exact same way when I was like 7, that this dude would be coming closer and closer as I grew up and that someday he'd be right at my window and I'd die Thanks I thought I was over it :)
Raven If you knew you were literally about to die, you’d obviously make the best of your remaining days, right? You’d try your best to make your life memorable. Or, you know, go insane.

I just don’t understand how a scary demon stalking you until you die somehow makes you successful.
It motivates you. If you know how close you are to death, you are motivated to do as much as you can with the time you have left.
I think it's just them knowing when they'll die, so they are not afraid to do stuff with high risk. They just get the high rewards because they know it's not their time yet
Or maybe it's like a tradeoff for good luck, you receive the dread of seeing death approaching you for good luck on other stuff

MiniSnowie once I was at a restaurant ordering for my younger brother. The waitress asked Apple juice or chocolate milk. I said yes.
Alter uses memes now
lol i died at that part too xD
When I give options to my customers (ff restaurant) and they respond with "yes"
Bruh I’m dead 🤣🤣🤣 “yes u can see him now” so he was watching her before she was the age she is now 😭😭🤣
I screamed at the top of my lungs when I saw it behind the mother❤🤗
6:41 notice how there are only three sentinels behind the seven family members, that means four of them will live through the earth quake....
Oh, I didn't realise it was an earthquake XD
There were four. One behind the mom, and then the three with the others. Same basis just instead only three will live out of the whole family.
You were still right though, just didn’t count the mom and daughter. So 5 out of the 9 will survive.
Also thanks for pointing this out I didn’t even realize the multiple ones before I saw this and went back. :)
I thought they caused it
Low budget, few extras only
One is enough for the whole family it's a ghost with supernatural powers
Started with the dollmaker now I am hooked to it, binge watching it all day!
I too started with the doll maker lmao
Me too!!
@@blairewitchstuff lol we have all become the vessel to Alter's energy! Haha
@@Bombon_408 lmao we are possessed! Haha
@@yashiveerkirtianand7781 Yes we are possessed 😨😰😱
The effects were great.
The acting was great,
And gave me a bit of a scare
Really? Just ... a bit? Are you sure?
Thanks!
Ok... I had a heart attack right after that thing appears behind her mother
Thanks ALTER... ;)
One of our favorite jump scares.
@@WatchALTER same. Jump scares pretty much never get me. I watch horror movies all the time. This got me good
Thanks for the warning, while I'm in my basement doing laundry
I figured it was gonna get closer immediately but I thought it would have at least been outside of the window. Since it's in the room pardon me while I hop out the window lolz
I would love a longer version, not a movie, but like a explanation
Hello fellow overthinker, I’ll try and explain in depth. This person has just turned 18 and is explained by her family that she has a gift. The gift is that there is this demonic/supernatural entity that appears once you turn 18, and this entity determines your life span. It does based on the distance it is from you; so if it’s very far away, your life span is very long, vice versa. Now some people might see this as a curse, knowing when you die might seem like a good thing to know at first, but it’ll naturally make you want to change fate’s course and alter the date of your death. In the video, the entity now appears much closer to her, and some of the other family members’ entities also have come closer. It doesn’t say diectly, but it appears that something like an earthquake happens, which takes the lives of most of the family members, specifically the ones who had their entities very close to them. How did they acquire this “gift” you may ask? It’s never stated directly, but that’s what’s nice about short films. It leaves it up to your imagination. Did a past generation make a deal with the supernatural? Were they cursed at one point, but now they see it as more of a gift? Anyways, hope this helps!
Edit: typos
I guess, I understood it as it will come to the person who is going to die but it came into room to all of them because an earthquake killed them all. It wasn’t the creep because it is like a lifespan not a killer.
@@KushTaco20 WOWWWW, HOLYYY I WOULD HAVE NEVER GATHERED THAT!!!! Thank you brother, from the bottom of my heart! Tacos forever!! Sensational.
@@KushTaco20 I thought the same thing, but an earthquake seems like a rather weird way to end it all. Not as "scary" as I would have imagined. My initial thought had been that the sister (or whoever that disapproving lady was) left the room to go get a weapon and then killed them all, and that's why all of their monsters were there: because they were about to be murdered by a family member who... maybe had had enough of the monster thing? I dunno. And then the champagne glasses toppling over and that was just because of the, like, scream of the monsters propagating through from whatever universe they're from or whatever.
@@lepetitchat24Yeah... no, it was an earthquake
You cannot leave us on a cliffhanger like that bro.
They died from an earthquake
@@rickrollrizal 💯🥳🍻
Love how everyone is so fucking calm while straight up staring at a demon😂
Well if somethings with you your entire life you learn to live with it
Well i would freakout, i mean its true when it was with you the entire time you will get used to it, but men it was far away before and then sudenly on your side, ill die right there due to heart attack☠@@FriendlyNeighborhoodGayGuy
Watch it again. They said she will see it on her 18th Bday. And only she could see hers. So they were fixating on the spot where she was staring. The one thing they could see was the table and items shaking....kmowing she was telling the truth
Dad: "You were born at 9:03pm so... it should be here at any moment"
Me: What is she a wizard and letters are gonna start flying through the window?
Exactly my thought
there's only two type of people which watch short horror films on YT
1.Scroll down to only see a bit the film.
2.Who properly watches the movie.
im the first 1
Szymon Gawłowski im actually 2nd😂😅
Depends on what I'm watching. For this channel though? Nope. Don't want any spoilers. These are so good.
3. Avidly "stalks" the channel for new movies to watch since I've watched EVERYTHING.
imagine what ppl did when starting to watch a horror movie BEFORE RUclips...ooooh👻
I'm like that as well.
ALTER and CRYPT TV really CARRY the RUclips horror genre with the short films they put out (e.g; The look-see or Special day..)
My first thoughts were omg they bought her a boyfriend
I was already wheezing when I was reading the other comments. This was was the cherry on top...
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Aaron Ebanks a super protective one🤣🤣
I want to know what happens!!
This film deserves a beginning
and end.
What’s the difference I cannot see
Why does this look like the MOST DEPRESSING BIRTHDAY EVER
HONESTLY😭😭😭
They did all die
When that thing popped up behind her it scared the shit out of me
this is one of the scariest things I've ever seen... very original + well-made!!
SAME!
Also, HoSeok is my hope too :'3💜
Lol we are everywhere😂😂
@@engrsiaa lol
Lmao i HOPE i dont get a slenderman for my bday
This is a great horror film, it isn't like those getting cursed or something haunting you type, instead the people in this story died because of natural cause, they just use the creatures to tell them their death date getting near which strikes more fear in people since people fear death. This short film is like the Dollmaker, using a new perspective to tell the story
My birthday party is more boring than this.
There's no party, there's nothing.
And I'm glad.
Oh dear! By the way the birthday song sucks.
at least there's nothing like in this movie 😂
Welcome to The Middle Age!
But secretly you are so sad you could cry, and maybe you do...
I don't have a strange ass family that likes to have this thing as a gift & if you make it to 50 it's as each birthday is more like one step closer to having this thing as your best friend !!! They don't look all that bored just scared cause they all see it up close so you can guess what's next & from the way her sister acted she knew what sort of gift was coming. I could be wrong & it really just came for some cake ...
Anybody in 2024?
Me
Yes
Me ⌨️ ✨️
Yeah
Mhm
Okay...I almost had a heart attack!
Little Bi Girl ikr 😱
Me too .I had the volume a bit louder with headphones lol😱😱😱😱
I think I just shit my pants
this needs to be an actual movie ! love the plot. im addicted to watching these now, thanks.
I don't understand how knowing your death date would affect your success.
i think that you can not worry about safety and things like that as much etc.
I think that you are more likely to live each day like it is your last when you are forced to deal with your mortality. If you were told you 12 months to live, you would accomplish more in that 12 months than most people do in their entire lives.
@@davidduncan9050 Yeah, but the rate at which they approach isn't constant, per what happens in this short film. Once the family got into a dangerous situation, their sentinels all basically teleported behind them.
They probably too focused on their daughter that they didn't notice the sentinels. Like the mother said, you'll forget it's even there@@UltraStarWarsFanatic
Maybe a give and take situation. A successful life for a soul
I know there's been a few comments on this already, but I definitely came to watch this based on the short I saw earlier. Love ALTER, have been a subscriber for years now!
"Happy birthday honey, I never liked you"
Lmao pretty much
Oh I get it.. This does mean that when you turn 18 that's your first step to dying.. Either of old age or something. This means that when we turn 18 we become mature enough to know that we will die someday and that death is just waiting for us. Sometimes death is closer than we thought. Even if everybody thinks that death is not now, but you know. You know death is right in front of you. The older you are, the nearer it is. ..in this film, I'm guessing they were near them since some of them if not all are gonna die. The sudden earthquake might be the cause. The family just had a way to see death and be protected by it (in a way that they could potentially avoid getting killed) at least until they truly come to the point that they will die at their destined time....IT comes nearer when you're in danger and when possibility of dying is added... IT comes nearer when you grow older....Some in the family also said that most of them went insane... I could understand... Who would be comfortable with that look and that sound... Is the management so low on funds that they had to resort to zombies in a black suit.. At least if theyre zombies.. Let them have a nice face and actual ability to talk and you know... User friendly?... They should really watch Black Butler.. But just the abilities, face, elegance and companionship.. Not the 'I'll eat your soul once you die thing'.... Eh... Not sure though
You add me at black butler bitch damn
Seriously this made sense.!
You should be a writer, man!
I think they presented a face of Death i.e. Body undergoes this process of decay ( post mortem stages).
Now, this could be interpreted in a way that they are not going to have a peaceful death but a death of ugly kind. That's why 'they were seeing ' their death as such ( which makes them someways responsible for their vision {The reason for insanity in family}).
Or the production team wanted to have a scary face to add to intensity of horror.
They anyways didn't have a quiet , peaceful death, one prays for.
Ur explanation actually made a great sense to the film...especially for those who doesn't understand it... Great work man
Okay so what I understood is that he is in the room because it was everyone's time to die.... The earthquake ! 🤔
Hmm right I guess
It wasn’t cause it was everyone’s time to die, it was her time, and since you see more then 1 in guessing the other sentinels are some of her families, which meant it was also their time to die, since the room wasn’t full of them then not all the family must have died from that
They didn't all die not everyone had there sentinal.
Right! But not everybody died.
@@spicybeantofu maybe they couldn't fit them all in the shot.
As someone who's biggest fear is bombings/ natural disasters this terrified me
I get a creepy man for my birthday? What happened to a car or something normal 😆😅
If I was in her shoes, I wouldn’t sleep at all.
Don't be ungrateful.
Its 2020... Normality is lame, we shoot for what we usually would avoid
Lol
I love the look of her (apparently) sister, who's the closest family member to her age so she knows how creepy this revelation can be.
I’m not FREAKING OKAY WITH THAT JUMPSCARE ALTER!!!!!!
Anyone else here after watching Heidi wong?😂
🥚 Zactly
Who came here from Instagram reel?😅
Frrr same
Sameee 😂
Fr
Same
Yeah i came from itsheidiwong
omg--that creature scared the SHIT out of me. When he opened his mouth while standing behind 'mommie dearest' I screamed. Damn, Alter, you're killing me! It's great! haha
Imagine waking up and having a "special day" like that
I hope there’s a full movie of this film. ❤😢
Why does everybody gotta touch her shoulder before they say happy birthday or something lol
Because they were about to give her the gift she needed some support to accept it. 😂
I watched this in a 60 second RUclips short and got the EXACT same story out of it as I did this full 7 min film.
You could stop watching movies and just watch a recap, stop playing games and just watch a speedrun and stop listening to music and just read the lyrics, if you like it that way.
@@rrinfinity4912 that’s correct
@@maxb548 did you get the same atmosphere? same amount of acting? same experience?
@@DoubleSidedSpoon tbh, after watching the video I felt the short clip made the acting appear to be better, and I was disappointed there wasn’t more to the story. If you want to find some really well done short films I suggest going to the channel Omeleto.
Yup
I thought there would be something extra
I was wroooong
I don't understand why there is lack of electricity every time even on occasions😪😕
because eletromagnetic fields and spiritual/demoniac activity can interact together.
Because demons are mademof electrons
It was an earthquake
when she went under the frame, does hers go away? I mean, something changed, and because of the earthquake, they were there, if there was no party, no reunion, no deaths, right?
never witnessed a birthday funeral before ....
Congratulations! You're a new man!
The mom was the creepiest😂😂😂
This is like IT
This is incredible, the jump scare was really well orchestrated and as a big horror fan I don't scare easily but the foreboding sense of doom or whatever elitist nerdy explanation you want to give it, was the best I've experienced in years
The scare had us jumping when we first saw the film. Such a perfect, slow build to the scare.
The 'short story ', setup, seems to be better than a full length film
They're filmed well and have an excellent cast, in most cases
Who came after watching a insta reels on this short film 😅
Well, nice to see The Gentlemen found a new occupation after Buffy killed the Sunnydale branch...
LMAO
that’s all i could think about too!
Hush 🤫
LADY DAZED I don’t think an episode of ANY TV show has creeped me out as much as that one. Seriously.
Thank you. I needed that laugh. Have a like.
Live your life because you never know when death is coming. GREAT MOVIE SHORT! The acting was SUPERB!
He could have brought cake at least
Yeah eggless one
SHUT UP
thank you Heidi Wong 🤞🏼this is pretty dope
deadass! heidi 🔛🔝
Me: *checks the window* Yep, my Sentinel is still really far away. Thank god!
why is mine in front of my window??
👀
Love the small detail even though she’s in a the door way (one of the safest places to be in an earthquake) she still sees hers.
I was thinking about this, and it might be over speculation, but I noticed everyone’s was behind them directly, but hers was in front(behind the mom, that was also able to see the same entity). Was she spared due to her repositioning? No other entities spawned, and the original fixated on the mother
I had a paranoia in the exact same way when I was like 7, that this dude would be coming closer and closer as I grew up and that someday he'd be right at my window and I'd die
Thanks I thought I was over it :)
Lmfaooo well u certainly ain't noe
I hope you'll be fine :( like, with the paranoia and all.
@@hoseokismyhope3351 oh thanks that's really sweet but I'll be alright :)
it's been a long time anyway so yeah
Bruh.. I bet he still coming.

Brilliant, original concept.. Well executed! Great ending!

This deserves a full-length movie.
I don't understand how them knowing when they were going to die made them successful?
Gave them a time limit to get things done. Made them more efficient. And they had something nobody else did
Being more aware of your time running out drives you to do great things while you still can.
Raven If you knew you were literally about to die, you’d obviously make the best of your remaining days, right? You’d try your best to make your life memorable. Or, you know, go insane.
But I don’t get why they didn’t see there knowing they die only the girl saw them
imagine it in terms of risk assessment. if you're doing something risky and he stays far away, you know you're safe.
