Hi!! Abby (writer/director) here! Thanks so much for watching the film. It was inspired by the original version of my favorite fairy tale, which is a whole lot bloodier and more upsetting than the cartoon version... anyone else obsessed with creepy fairy tales as a kid?? Comment your favorite secretly-upsetting folklore below!
You are speaking my language my lady!
My favorite fairy tale is The Birthday Peasant
I'm obsessed with the Shadow by Hans Christian Anderson. That story should be a horror movie. I'm planning on adapting it as one. I'm also obsessed with Snow White. Especially when Neil Gaiman reimagines her as a vampire. I also love the story of Red Riding Hood.
@@theladyligeia1219 oh yeah you hit that right on the head! Neil does it right
@@theladyligeia1219 so cool!! I will have to check out the Shadow! and I would absolutely watch a horror reimagining of Snow White....!!
When you start watching horror short films there is no way going back 😂❤
Bruh….. fr. I’m addicted. I am now in process of creating and filming my own short horror film 😊
@@briecee33I am sure this will be a great horror film, I believe in you 😊
Totally true😂
This is like a mix of mermaid and selkie. I love those old myths and legends, this was really well done.
I'm a simple woman, when I see that Alter has uploaded, I watch it immediately when I can! 😂😂😂😂 Love this channel!!
same!!
@@abbyalleynebrooke 🥰🥰🥰🥰 thank you for the lovely entertainment!! It was great!! Keep up the awesome work! Can't wait to see more!! ❤️❤️❤️
Same,except i'm a simple man^^
The mother is hot! Forget Marnie.
This takes the whole “I’m not like other girls” to a whole new level. 😂. I enjoyed this horror short very much, thanks.
Amazing, the sound design is positively horrifying, so good
i was not expecting the siren direction, but it found it interesting.
Sirens were birds,not mermaids. It's a common misconception.
@@missvoorhees7964 huh? no i mean like the sirens who would sing a malicious tune to kiss men overseas, that kinda siren.
Sirens were originally depicted as bird/women hybrids in Ancient Greece, but are now more culturally known as fish/women hybrids, the more evil counterpart to mermaids. Plato also used sirens in parts of his teachings, stating that there were three different types. Those ruled by Zeus (celestial), those ruled by Poseidon (generative), and those ruled by Hades (cathartic).
@@pinkbunnywithtealeyes what! i didn't know that the more you know i guess cool
I'm a simple person, i always think short films are better than full length ones.
Nicely directed, written, acted, shot, and edited!
I was a bit disappointed that we didn’t get a more disturbing reveal in terms of makeup/creature/body-horror effects since it felt like that was being built towards, but overall I enjoyed this short! 👏
Thank you for watching and engaging with the film!! Hopefully we'll get to make the feature version, and can have even more body horror monster magic....!
okay who’s going to finance the full version so I can watch 2 hours of this?
Short film is Good
Horror fans… we have been fed
😭😭😭
'You Deserve to Be Disturbed ' 🖤 Alters Motto
eating so well tonight…
As a pisces man ,I got this x
You're a what?
@@sairamsriram big fish!
Abby, let me congratulate you, your horror version of the famous fairy tale, it was fantastic. keep up the good work.
YIKES! Man, this one really got to me. Outstanding writing, acting, and the ending was perfect. (Horrible, but perfect.)
Seriously, this is one of my all-time favorites.
This was awesome. 🧜♀️ 💙 It had everything I need from a film. Seaside coastal town, blood, and some dramatic horror. Lovely. Great work actors and he looks like a mini Tom Hanks.
The scariest part for me, is what those beauty products cost!!! Great movie!
POV: having eczema
Life❤
Very good mini film, but I would like a full version of the film. Please make it, you are super. ❤
We'd love to (and plan to!!) make the feature film eventually
Wowow this film is AMAZING. What wonderful performances, gorgeous cinematography, and a story that gave me full goosebumps!!!
A fantastic movie. There are some very talented young actors out there. A great story, well acted, and brilliant production. Congratulation to everyone involved.
I wanted to believe it was romance for a sec, they were cute. Great twist ending!
I am very confused on two parts. I understand she uses makeup to cover up her creature/other self, but does she shed skin too, like a snake? Second question, to melt or shed that excess skin did she have to bathe in that guy's blood? Or did she hit puberty and that extra skin was already starting to shed, but she was just in pain and impatient?
I think she needed human blood to maintain/grow “human” skin or she will revert to a sea monster.
I literally had to go back and watch it again…everything makes sense 😮
Omg loved it!! As Spanish, we don't have like dark fairytales, but we do have some sinister creatures around us!!! Absolutely loved it abby, brilliant! I don't want to be a spoiler here, but hold ur breath!!! 😂😂😊 Alter, as always, fantastic! Okok, just editing right now cos I haaaave to say it!! Is this supposed to be a kinda dark Ariel??? Omg it's awsome!!!!! Didn't expect the end! Awsomeeee 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😔👏🏻
Thanks for watching! - Leo
thank you so much for watching!! xx
¿Que no tenemos dark fairy tales? Alguien no se ha leído Rimas y Leyendas de Bécquer.
I really need the full version of this! A full length movie!
Awesome!!!! Thx 2 all involved 👏🏽 Luv the name "Marnie"
Loved it ❤❤👏🏾 the creativity, the understanding after, a hint of suspense jumbled up in a short film amazing.
I'm missing what makes this particular person important in her mer-needs.
Why is this summer, this guy significant?
Do they only come out during this season?
Is he only important as an analogy?
Also, I'm so tired of these monsters asking to be accepted for who they are and then murdering people. Rude.
The actress was fantastic. The casting is interesting. Two very conventionally beautiful people and one girl who is quirky looking and does being disturbed incredibly well. Her awkwardness was off the charts and her relationship with the boy was not believable but I actually think that's on purpose.
Wow!! I love this short. Well written, excellent directing, beautiful cinematography, creepy real effects, and nice acting. I loved the bathtub scene 😂 Very well done all around and left me curious. Hope I get to watch the full length version some day! Bravo 👏👏👏
Wow! So good! I held my breath the whole time.
Absolutely loved this. 💗. Aloha from the Big island of Hawaii 🐳
aloha!! 🌊
Great short -- super creeped out here.
That was so very good . . . Excellent!
i, Pup, dont understand what is the story or going on in this short. please someone explain this
Nothing like ALTER movies. Love ya'll!!
Greetings from Vienna ❤
This is based off of the original fairy tale,"The Little Mermaid" by Hans Christian Andersen, published in 1837. It is a much darker and bloodied and sadder story, than the cartoon version with Arielle.
The director wrote in her comment that she based it off her favorite fairy tale, and gave the clue of it not being the cartoon version.
If you aren't an old fairy tale fan, that should have been a hint. Gave "Marnie" red hair 😊.
Look up information on the original Little Mermaid, and you will understand more about this short film much more.
But Ariel is black
@ChristianAttridge She is not in the original 1837 fairy tale, nor the original animated 1989 Disney film, which made it famous. I didn't even know they made a newer live action version in which she is black, until I just looked it up. The director was using the 1837 written Hans Christian Andersen version as her inspiration - it is dark, bloody, and has no happy ending.
@@CroMagnon1970are you serious that was just a disastrous remake. She's always been fair with red hair
I dont understand this at all.
My understanding was something like: they're mermaids, and need to bathe in the blood of a man in order to go through the transformation from adolescence. 🤔
@@kayla_sulakOh thanks a lot, buddy... I felt like I didn't get it; my mind was super messed up after watching this tryna comprehend what all precisely just happened, and I could find no other comment properly explaining the short.😭
But, after reading your comment & re-watching it, it all made sense -- all the conversation between the mermaid and her mom and everything that followed up, thanks to your comment!❤
So if I rub blood all over me, I'll be beautiful?
Got the Elizabeth part right, but last name would be Bathory then 😂
Yes
Amazing 10/10. Great job.
Love this! Great interpretation. I write stories about folklore legends with a horror twist. This was great!
I have eczema and rosacea not fun😢
Got to do what you got to do❤
I enjoyed this short film very much. Really ending , great acting and writing !
Wow. An amazing film! Would love to see some follow up to some story where they both come back/have separate stories to how they got to be like this
This is awesome! Simple storyline, great acting, cinematography and soundtrack.
This was absolutely amazing, two extremely talented and beautiful ladies. Thank you. Well done to all.
Plenty of fish in the sea 😂
oops i’m back for my millionth watch of the day
If I could have remembered the deformed Asian woman in a spaceship with tiny, microscopic aliens from my dreams as well as all the other cool, disturbing music, poetry and images from my dreams, I would definitely go here to make a film about it. But now they are all gone 😢
Hell yeah! How are my fellow horror fans doing today?
Good,how are you?
@@minnarosenqvistmr oh I'm doing awesome I just finished watching the very first original nightmare on elm Street for God knows how many times now that I've seen it and now enjoying some horror shorts because it's a hot day in Texas and I'm off today. Thank you for asking
@@Rebel_Lord_Taron ooh,elm street is still one of my favorites ever! Never gets old! The classics are always the best! I have huge dvd collection,and watch it almost everyday.. but of course Lord of the rings, Constantine are one of best too . I'm off to bed soon, it's soon 7.30pm here,where I am,so gotta get the kids to bed... But I get time to myself watching these!
@@minnarosenqvistmr hell yeah sounds like a great time to me! Have fun and enjoy it
@@Rebel_Lord_Taron you too mate! Have an amazing day/evening!!
I enjoyed watching this to the very end. Good work!
Unbelievable ****** love love this❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
This was the most most most amazing short of Alter so far I would say literally out of the box 🎉❤❤💯💯💯💯💯
wow thank you!! glad we could surprise you :)
her skin was peeling because she was out of the water.
Excellent! I really enjoyed this, and I would love to see more stories about this mother and daughter!
mermaids have psoriasis? people who go on vacation are mermaids?
i dont get it
Gorgeous. SO GOOD! 🖤
Nicely done!
Not sure I call this horror, beautiful story of the Fey yes.. but not horrifying more hopeful that this might one day happen
Omg I thought he was gonna love her the same but his reaction 😢 and her body 😿
Ceritanya agak membosankan dan tidaklah seram walaupun jenis Film horor,, bagiku 3,5/10

Did not understand this
This was aesone
Keep up the amazing work and videos 😀 great job love it 😀
Oh wow another allegory!

Their mermaids and had to bathe in humans blood was my take.
@@bahdahbing8063 well obviously lol but why?
🔥🔥 guy alert!!
Akhirnya ada vidio baru yang ada subtitle indonesia
Love your short films
Hmuhnom bonra lutuk Alter trang fan fan❤
Amazing film😍
I could not understand anything
So what kind of sea creature were they. If they were selkies, they'd have to go back into their seal skins to return to the sea. Doubt if they were mermaids. Did mermaids ever come ashore to drink blood?
You couldn't handle that on strong acid.
I would like to know...what was the horror short film that got you to first subscribe to the alter channel? Mine was when I first seen "other side of the box". It was the first horror short I seen from the channel and I knew right then, I was hooked and instantly subbed. How about you?
the doll maker, one of my favs
i seeee you
Ill take a well-made short over a feature any day.
This here one is a well-made short.
So she was a mermaid.
Great job spoiling it.
