Just hit me that no one asked for their money back because no one ever remembered this guy. No way anyone would actually use the hourglass…awesome movie, with an unexpected dark and sad twist- great work!
the dollmaker himself is the best thing in the movie. brilliant acting, gave me chills. the voice, the sinister smile, the look in his eyes - the everything - mindblowing! incredibly charismatic man
I like that he uses harsh language instead of being overly courteous or supportive. Like calling kid a brat. It's off-putting, considering the situation, but I've met people like that irl, so it makes it kind of uncanny in a good way.
It shocked me . The action was so perfectly filmed! Fantastic writing, filming,acting, and editing;with perfect musical score. Who are these people at ‘. Alter”? Who said they were people?🤔
This is honestly an excellent way to portray trauma. Unhealthy coping mechanisms are often the most alluring, and it’s very easy to get lost in them. I know.
Indeed. Especially the ending when he brings the doll back into the house and hugs her. He knows he's living a lie, but he's so lost without his wife that he decides to go back into his delusions just to be with her once more.
You're an OG if you're here from before it got age restricted! This is probably my favorite horror short, I keep coming back and a rewatch always leaves me as stunned and satisfied as I was first time I saw it. I'm also grateful cause it introduced me to Dan Berkey whose performance is simply breathtaking.
Psychological horror over jumpscares every single day. Jumpscares are a cheap easy way out to get the viewer to be afraid. Not impressive at all. This is the good type of writing that really makes horror. It's not about the quick spooks, it's about terrifying the viewer so much to the point that they're genuinely affected and afraid. This was incredible.
It's both the plot and the jumpscares that scare me to death. But mostly the plot. If it's only the jumpscares I would just be frightened at first then nothing.
life is so cruel. and the one thing that nobody wants to their loved ones... is death. this curse. this doll. it's a wish that comes with a price. and the Man knows that.
Lol so many people want this to be a full movie, and then complain when movies who have a good plot run way too long. How exactly could this be turned into a full movie? Literally everything is here, and that's why it's already beyond perfect.
I get what you are saying BUT, in this short everything was perfect, I think what people want is a movie that is 90-120 minutes long that is perfect.Imagine if instead of this being a 9 minute short, someone made a 90 minute movie that was this perfect.The Movie "The Sixth Sense" was a great film and had a perfect twist ending, now that is a movie that could have been done as a short and it would have been great, BUT since it was done as a feature film, we got a fantastic full length feature film that blew people away, because we see this "The Doll Maker" as a short (and its perfect) doesn't mean that had the film only existed as a 90-120 minute feature film doesn't mean it could also be perfect.I loved this and agree with you that, its perfect, BUT that doesn't mean that had the makers of this short had the money to have made a feature length film they couldn't have fleshed it out in such a way to have also made it perfect.Of course we have all seen films that sucked as a feature film, but had they done it as a short it could have been amazing.I hope that they don't try and turn this into a feature length film, but like you I think it is perfect as is, but I can understand those who wold have loved to see it as a full length film.
@@tbirum It's more so I'm wondering what would make it longer, do we have to see the kid die, do we need to see every day were the wife played with the doll before the whammy ending, or (in my opinion worse), do we learn the story of the doll maker?
Well I understand what you are saying, but let me once again refer you to the movie "The Sith Sense" (obviously I loved this movie) We see the character of Cole, and we see the character of Malcolm, now since the story is about a kid who see's dead people, and it turns out that the twist is "Malcolm" was dead the whole time but didn't know it did we really need to see the part where Malcolm and Cole go to that little girls wake, where we end up seeing that it was the mother who poisoned her little girl? or how it was that Malcolm died? or the fact that Cole's teacher used to be called "Stuttering Stanley"? When a movie is expertly written and acted, and cast, it just draws the viewer into the lives of the characters and the emotions the characters feel are also, to an extent felt by the viewer, because the viewer has been going through the journey right along with the character."The Doll Maker" in my opinion, was PERFECT, it told a story in less then 9 minutes and the twist really came out of nowhere and I loved it, BUT (again in the right hands) this is something that could be turned into a 90-100 minute movie (not now because everyone would know the twist) but had this been a full length film instead of a short to begin with I think it could have been the next "The Sith Sense" caliber movie. not sure if you have seen this but if you haven't I would love to hear what you think of it, the film is less then 7 minutes (if you do not count credits) and I think it is equally Brilliant. Let me know what you think of it. ruclips.net/video/gryenlQKTbE/видео.html
This was amazing! A very cleverly written story, I wish this was a full-length movie. This is already better than half the trash Hollywood spews out these days.
Mikey Kuplevatsky Lol...people really do have low expectations. Just because it’s not Hollywood doesn’t mean it’s any better. I guess some people just don’t have good taste.
imagine the whole story being happy, like about their marriage and child growing up, but then suddenly he just dies and BOOM this hits you like a truck
@@nolemretaw4081 they could make the child/mother dying and doll creations a reoccurring “nightmare” to find out its reoccurring because it’s true and he constantly thinks about it. Which made him insane (clearly nuts at the end) 😬
I think he chose to believe this illusion again, he couldn't bare the pain of losing both his son and his wife and he had no one to turn to, noone and nothing he cared about or, subconsciously, nobody to care for him. He chose to give up the rest of his life and be happy in a madeup world where she was still alright rather than to face the cold, hard reality. It's kinda like when I have a minor breakdown and choose mit to take my medicine, the voices and images and all of that stuff can be disturbing and troubling, but when I find myself in some sort of imagination scenario everything is just so clear and even though most times I don't really understand it afterwards, it all makes perfect sense to me at that moment. And that is just so much easier than living in reality.
This is such a fantastic premise and I wish it was longer. I could imagine a whole movie where the wife slowly goes mad over the doll but she thinks her husband is the one who's mad, and it slowly drifts them apart. So much opportunity for drama right there
I see why this short film is the most popular one on the channel... SOOOO GOOOOOOD !!!! And the twist is too good!! Gave me chills and goosebumps at the same time...!!
At the risk of sounding like I love under a rock...i gotta ask...what is your icon, and why does everyone have it? But yes, I agree with your comment. Great short.
so he found his strength then lost it again once he realized, making the cycle continue over and over again. i can see why this is the most popular film on this channel.. my jaw literally dropped at that twist.
Who could blame the doll maker if the thing u love most is more important am I right I mean everybody used to say this "I'll do everything even if it costs my life"
“Nobody ever asked for their money back.” Idk why but that sent shivers down my spine. The way he used that as a genuine response is just so soul chilling.
holy crap, holy crap, Sean Meehan!!!, I went to college with him. He was always into acting. I am soooo happy to see him in this short film. AAAAaaanndd he did a great job!!! If you see this Sean,...Freaking Awesome Dude!!!
Being a mother of 6 and losing one.....this is truly a parent's nightmare, even without the paranormal aspect of it. Losing a loved one, most especially a child is a horrible traumatic nightmare as is and the fact that no one and I mean no one can really know for sure how they'll handle such a tragic loss. The disparity and desperate attempt of a grieving parent to have a loved one back was well interpreted in this video.
My mom will wake up to me dead one day. I can’t stand being alive anymore. There is nothing for me here. I don’t want anyone to go through my pain, but my pain needs to end, and I know a very quick and easy fix for it.

Is anyone forgetting the fact that he would have done this multiple times because for him he only sees the wife playing with the doll so he probably took them outside multiple times then forgot
Moral of the story •never buy things from old people that use people's hair to make a doll •you always die trusting people the selling over priced dolls •get a divorce with a lady who feeds a doll oatmeal •dont try to make someone come back to life with a doll Edit:omg thanks for all the likes this is the most I have ever gotten!!
"No magic could revive the dead." -Beedle the Bard in Babbity Rabbity and her Cackling Stump (The Tales of Beedle the Bard) I'm not that too sure if it got it right.
You forgot that when you have a curse child stab it put it in a box put the box in a cooler put that cool in a safe lock the safe with several locks destroy the keys you use to lock it then put it in holy water then throw it to the garbage and let them burn it
My theory is, The customers forget about hiring him. I think all of the customers break the 'keep the doll in the box before 1 turn of the hourglass' .
I love the acting and the details. Like all the dirty dishes made me confused, but the plot twist immediately explained that detail. The wife would have kept the kitchen clean for her son at least, while living out her fantasy, but the husband expects his wife to do the cleaning, which she can't do as a doll, but in his delusion he blames it on her delusion...
He should put his doll-wife in a McDonald's uniform. Then that would explain any buildup of take out boxes. He wouldn't even have to interrupt his groove; just call McUber eats once the hour ends. 🤹
Really great representation of grief. The denial they go through, the bargaining to bring him back, the extreme attachment to all the memories, and the huge spiral of depression that follows. Really loved this.
Noo the dad went crazy bc she died and got the man to make her into a doll so he imagined her being alive when they were fighting and when he said she has to see what she really is holding he realised she was a doll too.
It looks more like a psychological thriller than a horror film..The ending was quite unexpected.. because the guy looked very strong and rational but in the end he was also trying to comfort himself by creating a creepy doll which resembles his wife.. It's quite impressive how the film ended..When it started though I thought the doll was a ghost ha ha ha..and this is why I like it even more because as I said the ending was quite unexpected..It started as a horror film but ended like a psychological thriller..
It’s crazy because right before he went outside with her they were at dinner time and he talked about how it was a lie that he “would be strong and protect him”. Kinda foreshadowing
@林幹傑 actually I went to a acting school and they made us train with dolls (creepy af) and we also acted in really heavy clothing so we could get used to uncomfortable situations.
Crazy how every1 is forgetting about the poor dad. He lost a son AND his wife. He prob has so much guilt in his heart. Yes I feel bad for the poor mom too but she doesn't have to live with it now like he does

This is actually a common thing, a parent will loose their child; and some of them will do anything to bring them back or at least make it feel like they're there.... The brain's a weird thing, but it'll make you do things like this when your in grief (sometimes) some will actually treat a doll as their dead child, others ill go on a killing spree, others just go insane, etc.
This film made me think of ppl who spend alot of money on real life looking babies Nothing against them, no shame, it's just some ppl cope or think differently.
He created the doll of his wife out of grief and guilt because he hid the doll of their son from her. Since she appeared to have spent more time with the doll than warned, it was like losing her son again, which led to her suicide. At the end there were two timers, but one was broken which was probably the one she had for the doll of their son.
@@jonathanportillo5748 I thought I saw three hourglasses also. But it was only two. But they probably should have made it three and somehow the boy was only lost at sea, not dead, and somehow came back. They could have made it a triple ending easily enough. That would be the difference between a good and a great movie.

Why do short films have to be better than full length feature films? This was really good.
because they put effort in
@@Grackle-eating-popcorn Yup, and because they get to the important parts

The film is more saddening than terrifying. I cried when watching it
That's a totally appropriate reaction. Definitely a tragic story.
It was definitely sadder then scary

If he said that to me I'm gonna be like "hell na you can take the doll back my life more valuable" lol (this a joke don't take it serious)
@@corumni I would legit do that! I'm not gonna die anytime soon because of a stupid doll.
Who could blame the doll maker if the thing u love most is more important am I right I mean everybody used to say this "I'll do everything even if it costs my life"
How do you have written that line boi
owo
Scariest part is the fact that the end of the video is still a happier scenario then a normal day of life
Thats what im talking about! Less jump-scare sounds and more on plot twists!!
Ok but this is not even horror. This is just depressing.
@@evacody1249 and that's the thing
I just hate that shitty jumpsacres!!! Anyways i love alter shorts than nowdays horror movies!
@@evacody1249 you don't need horror to get to you, emotions always strike within somewhere inside of a person that might mess them up.
@@evacody1249 Try googling Psychological horror sometimes.
this short film is kinda like a Goosebumps episode.
Slappy the dummy caught one of the kids
then turned the kid into a doll
You're right!
What I see is its kinda like cryptv it's a horror film too and you're right is kinda like goosebumps
Yes! Goosebumps for Grownups!
There was that one episode that Shia Labeouf starred in. Featuring an evil doll.
He did that in night of the living dummy 3.
"Nobody's ever asked for their money back."
*"Is...is it because you told them upfront that you don't offer refunds?"*
Like Stan Lee in Spider Man into the verse
Animenger Bruh
Animenger Bruh cuz they’re stuck in a trance
Animenger Bruh no its because the doll killed them, they weren’t in position to ask for a refund
Why does no one realise that this was a joke? Lmao.
“Nobody ever asked for their money back.” Idk why but that sent shivers down my spine. The way he used that as a genuine response is just so soul chilling.
This is not Horror, this is straight up sad,,, I sign up to be scared not crying
Yo same😭
ayy same
it is horror, not terror. you are sad because this is a psychological horror.
I was actually surprised when they were both dolls and yes, it was heartbreaking.
the scare is the sadness. like grief, you cannot deny that
holy crap, holy crap, Sean Meehan!!!, I went to college with him. He was always into acting. I am soooo happy to see him in this short film. AAAAaaanndd he did a great job!!! If you see this Sean,...Freaking Awesome Dude!!!

That's cool.
"Nobody has asked for their money back", and I knew right then it doesn't end well.
Same. It's a line that implies several things, like the people who got their dolls probably died not caring for themselves, instead the doll.
What I mean by that is, they sacrifice their lives for the doll's.
@@burningfish156 or they stop caring for themselves entirely and die
Have u seen my Horror Short Film
Dead people tell no tales
Being a mother of 6 and losing one.....this is truly a parent's nightmare, even without the paranormal aspect of it. Losing a loved one, most especially a child is a horrible traumatic nightmare as is and the fact that no one and I mean no one can really know for sure how they'll handle such a tragic loss. The disparity and desperate attempt of a grieving parent to have a loved one back was well interpreted in this video.
I’m sorry for your loss 😔🙏🏼 may Allah protect them

Moral of the story
•never buy things from old people that use people's hair to make a doll
•you always die trusting people the selling over priced dolls
•get a divorce with a lady who feeds a doll oatmeal
•dont try to make someone come back to life with a doll

Exactly!!!
It's scary how sad it is
Yea
well i say its both cuz the doll is so creepy
Agree
THAT PLOT TWIST THOUGH
I did not see that one coming, I gotta say.
"Nobody ever asked for their money back"
yes because they're dead
😂😂😂😂
I know these people should have not trusted that doll maker so easily and they really should have thought that through as a couple
@@sophiajones1821 Yeah well sometimes grief does that you.
My theory is,
The customers forget about hiring him. I think all of the customers break the 'keep the doll in the box before 1 turn of the hourglass' .
damn my S/O said the same thing right before we watched this
I love the acting and the details. Like all the dirty dishes made me confused, but the plot twist immediately explained that detail. The wife would have kept the kitchen clean for her son at least, while living out her fantasy, but the husband expects his wife to do the cleaning, which she can't do as a doll, but in his delusion he blames it on her delusion...
Wow i didn't notice that before
Ya
Me too
He should put his doll-wife in a McDonald's uniform. Then that would explain any buildup of take out boxes. He wouldn't even have to interrupt his groove; just call McUber eats once the hour ends. 🤹
Thanks for this!
Dang that reveal was awesome, would’ve been dope in a full feature film.
Might be this good because they didnt have to stretch the story for length. This was perfect as it was.
Tommy Northwood It was perfect but I think what he means is seeing a twist like that in the cinema would be really cool
The rare short horror film worth watching twice.
Really great representation of grief. The denial they go through, the bargaining to bring him back, the extreme attachment to all the memories, and the huge spiral of depression that follows. Really loved this.

When she turned into a doll, I was like "Ohhh hell nawww"😭😭

No kidding.
It looks more like a psychological thriller than a horror film..The ending was quite unexpected.. because the guy looked very strong and rational but in the end he was also trying to comfort himself by creating a creepy doll which resembles his wife.. It's quite impressive how the film ended..When it started though I thought the doll was a ghost ha ha ha..and this is why I like it even more because as I said the ending was quite unexpected..It started as a horror film but ended like a psychological thriller..
It’s crazy because right before he went outside with her they were at dinner time and he talked about how it was a lie that he “would be strong and protect him”. Kinda foreshadowing
This is so sad, she just wanted to have her son back, but nothing would work without a big price
Just like so many other things; they come with a big price :c
Except that wasn't her son, it's a doll.
I honestly didn't see that coming when he dragged her outside. SHOCK!!!!!
Same. I predicted he would get a doll of her, but I didn't see coming that she was already a doll. Good twist. Heartbreaking too.
Me either

Same!
Due to this comment, I saw it coming.

how did the actors even act with that damn creepy doll-
@林幹傑 Not sure what sort of drama schools you have where you are, but it sure isn't the norm everywhere. That sounds made up.
@林幹傑 actually I went to a acting school and they made us train with dolls (creepy af) and we also acted in really heavy clothing so we could get used to uncomfortable situations.

Crazy how every1 is forgetting about the poor dad. He lost a son AND his wife. He prob has so much guilt in his heart. Yes I feel bad for the poor mom too but she doesn't have to live with it now like he does

This is actually a common thing, a parent will loose their child; and some of them will do anything to bring them back or at least make it feel like they're there....
The brain's a weird thing, but it'll make you do things like this when your in grief (sometimes) some will actually treat a doll as their dead child, others ill go on a killing spree, others just go insane, etc.
This film made me think of ppl who spend alot of money on real life looking babies
Nothing against them, no shame, it's just some ppl cope or think differently.
Like happened in pet semetry and Annabelle creation
@@aasthatyagi3001 exactly
The twist brought tears into my eyes, that was just soooo unexpected! Amazing!!
This was very well written and performed. I did not see the ending coming.
What did the ending signify? That all three are dolls?
He created the doll of his wife out of grief and guilt because he hid the doll of their son from her. Since she appeared to have spent more time with the doll than warned, it was like losing her son again, which led to her suicide. At the end there were two timers, but one was broken which was probably the one she had for the doll of their son.
That’s a twist
*That’s very twisty*
Yeah me either I hate when an ending is predictable
@@jonathanportillo5748 I thought I saw three hourglasses also. But it was only two. But they probably should have made it three and somehow the boy was only lost at sea, not dead, and somehow came back. They could have made it a triple ending easily enough. That would be the difference between a good and a great movie.

People react instantaneously to the environment and their location.When the perception problem of the human beings comes into play, the effects and reactions are more evident.When we consider the result, the shopkeeper may not always be smiling, but he feels the obligation to laugh due to his position and his perception develops and this is called psychology.

I was watching Horror+ and a few moments of this played as a commercial break. I was hooked and started googling the plot, and found this short film and the channel. Brilliant work by all. I like many think this could be a blockbuster feature film. A+ acting for everyone involved, and it’s awesome Mr. Dan Berkey is here involved with the channel and the comments. Great job, Sir. I loved your role as The Dollmaker!
Thankyou heartily for your compliment, and on behalf of the whole team, thankyou!!!
