We just want to say the entire ALTER team is very excited and happy to see the sheer amount of positive comments. For a film like this, that tackles tough topics regarding body shaming and bullying, to feature comments that are kind and thoughtful is heart-warming to us. The world is not always a great place, and in crazy times like this, it's likely easier than ever to lose our sense of compassion. However, the ALTERed many in here have shown us otherwise. Stay safe everyone! 🖤🖤🖤
Wish you guys more success
Sorry you felt the need. Glorifying nuts and abuse. Horror fans🤭🙄🖕🏻
💋💋💕🗽🧕🏾 coming from Harlem,NYC!! Thank you love this short movie!! Love the cast played their parts outstanding, 💕💕
Love it!! Graet premise!!!
So who was in the water ???
"Help me, Sarah."
Ohhhw now you know her name is Sarah, not piglet.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂I was waiting for her to say Piggy. But yeah she got her name right for sure then!
Mmhm haha I thought that was really convenient too. Loved that part.
literally what i said lmfaooo “oh NOW you wanna say her name”
Exactly!
Vengeance never tasted so sweet :)
When the bully is in trouble, she calls her by name. When not in trouble, she calls her piggy. Really shows how weak bullies really are
Fr
Truly.
well, anyone would do that really. if your dying and there's only one person around to help you ofc you'd cower.
@@greenlizard4208 but a non bully wouldn't have to cower. They wouldn't need to.
@@mpacino1224 uh yeah they kinda would it's just instincts that everyone has
How can this woman have her audience feel every single emotion she is feeling and know exactly what she is thinking without saying ONE WORD??? Truly amazing!!
She said Claudia
woulda been funny if she actually couldnt talk and could only communicate through oinking which is why they call her piggy.
Because we have been there.
thats called acting for anyone interested on how people do this movies without saying words
That filthy pool really gets me... But the tale is a good one.
Yet things always come back to haunt you....
Sometimes.😊 Sometimes not.
Theory: The killer was bullied when he was a child. That’s why he chose not only to go after Sara’s bullies, but to give back her clothes (which she clearly wanted desperately) and her music. He remembered what it was like to be in her shoes.
They have already released the entire film, it is Spanish, and it has the same name, in case you want to see it and so you know if your theory is correct or not, I already saw it, but I don't want to reveal anything to you
@@calaznizadorcan u spoil the movie for me?
@@angeieticals3059 I also want to know.
I too, want to know
The full movie is already out
Funny how quick “cerdita, cerdita” became “Sara,” when they needed her!Karma is indeed a bitch.
Need a sequel where he gets those “boys” too 😁
Exactly
Oh yeahh!!
I think that the girls should be held accountable but they are literally covered in blood and are being kidnapped.
@@swaggyyoutuber2963 they were trying to drown her with a pole
Pixel Donkey Holy crap I thought they were just trying to take a picture for their Instagram. Then hell yeah they deserved to be kidnapped.
The bullying and abuse parts ended up being WAY MORE uncomfortable and gross than the actual killer plot, congratulations to the writers, producers and director, this right here is art
So murder isn't as bad as bullying? Oh, okay.
@@homersimpson7901 read the comment again
I felt the same way. I remember saying to myself after the car full of guys drove off that “there’d better be some justice”. I hated seeing Sara go through that trauma and felt a sense of relief when the van stops in front of her and let’s her see what’s inside. Brilliant film!
@@homersimpson7901 Wow... You clearly don't read much.
I could not agree more. 👍
The harassment and bullying was more brutal and unsettling than the actual serial killer plot. I loved this so much omfg
That poor girl, my god... her acting is immaculate. No words, just her face and her movements and the way she breathes and cries... so damn expressive
When they were begging to be saved her name was Sara, but when they were bullying her, her name was "Piggy".
💯 So Sad That Sara couldn't have been appreciated as a Person She was instead of being bullied by those Mean People
@@Elyhhk wow, you must be a really sad individual to call me an idiot over something so stupid. Get a life.
Did you really not understand that?
yellow potato idiot
I rember about roblox
sara’s acting was INCREDIBLE. the serial killer part was less disturbing than the rest of the film. amazing short
They made a long movie out of it. It got generally good reception and apparently the act from the lead is stellar. So if you want more you got more.
@@f.g.5967 what's the name of that movie ?
@@Shreef_Aamir piggy
@@Shreef_Aamir the long movie is also PIGGY
The serial killer part was actually satisfying. The disturbing part was when she was walking alone on the empty street and what happened after that.
So well done
As a bigger girl, knowing the pain of the chaffing in her thighs she must have been feeling from running with no protection made me so uncomfortable, just imagining how long she must have been running since it was definitely enough for her to get sunburn. Adds another level to the story when you think about that detail, that sh*t hurts!
I used to have that problem, to the point of bleeding even. It was horrible and the bullying was harsh as well but both together helped me work my ass off, literally, until I lost over 125lbs. Thank God I did, it was hell before and I'll never go back
You know the acting is phenomenal when you have zero sympathy for the 3 bullies, feel heartbreak for sarah, rejoice when she gets her stuff back and silently praise the murderous man for pretty much being the hero here
Agreed. Especially since, even though we see moments of Claudia seemingly hesitating and ‘feeling bad’, it’s still not enough for us as an audience to care about Claudia. She was still a bully.
Me personally I could never let somebody get away with rape and murder no matter the circumstances. But that’s just me💀
@@noobsplaybest6883 he didn’t rape them though…
So,if you are at Sara's position, how many of you are gonna help that mean girl on the truck..??
Like - No help.
Comment - Help.
Idk... I might pass out on the spot
I would help and make their lives a living hell. But i might get killed too so f them
I'd help him torture them. I mean..he can kill them. I just want my revenge before he does🤷🏻♀️
I mean I would help. Some people here are saying she needs to be taught a lesson, how she gonna learn if she dies? Yeah She was an outright bitch and needs to be punished with something but I feel like leaving her there to be driven off, tortured and killed just isn’t right. But then I guess you also have to think about what the drivers gonna do if you try to help cuz there’s no way you could escape and leg it since he had a car. And whether or not she’s still gonna bully Sara or maybe she leaves her alone. It’s difficult :/ and you all have to think about yourself first and ur safety
Everyone who says they'll help are either liars or have no sense of self preservation.
There is a man who is at least twice your size and clearly doesn't care of he kills someone. You want to risk your own life for people who didn't give a piss about you before they were in trouble? Go ahead, you'll just be added to the body count.
The only "help" you can do in this situation is find the cops and hope the killer doesn't come for you next since they know what you look like (and had your personal items for a bit).
And for those that say, oh I'll just fight him. You better be willing to fight to the death cause as I said, he's clearly a murderer.
Now, my response is if I were in her place, I'd wait until those girl's folks were looking for them and tell them the less gore version of what happened. But only if they come to me. Otherwise, survival of the fittest.
That is the most dedicated actress: swim in the most bacteria ever then run down the road in a bikini getting all chafed and sunburned. She is not only a really good actress but dang, is she committed! Respect.
Yeah true😔
She probably had sun screen on, you think they would just let her get sunburnt? I can agree on the water though, that was disgusting.
@@ShaymonMizu I mean, yeah, that's probably true? But that's seriously the most convincing fake sunburn I've ever seen.
I love this comment
Glad to see I'm not the only one who, while definitely having a deep appreciation for the message in this production also kept thinking this woman must have needed Vaseline or Aloe Vera after this shoot. I admire her acting skills & wish I were brave enough to wear such attire for a film. I must say she has a beautiful body with flawless skin.
This film had me in tears. Sara’s actress did a PHENOMENAL job, and I could feel the tension the whole time. Not just be a if the killer, but because I was scared what would happen to her. My heart started racing when those guys pulled up behind her in the car
Me too I was so scared for her
After being bullied in middle school I despise bullies. In high school I forced myself to stand up for myself. Be assertive in life.
In my opinion those girls got what they deserved.
Great film and I applaud you for confronting topics such as body shaming and bullying.
Exactly
Just because you were wronged, it doesn’t give you the right to wrong others. That’s a very unhealthy way of thinking. A lot of people that go through trauma and are abused early on, become abusers later on in life, because they didn’t get proper guidance and help when they needed. This type of thinking is a result of that. Don’t fall in the same trap, be better, be smarter, don’t wish harm upon those lost souls that had you as a target to dump their own trauma onto you… Violence is a vicious cycle and you are a perpetrator if you really relate to this emotionally charged, unhinged, comment. “Deserve” is the wrong way to look at it. Think about it. BE BETTER.
So he didn't like them scaring her and making her feel helpless bullying her taking her clothes..so he kidnapped her to teach her a lesson...he gave sara her stuff back with a unspoken understanding that they wouldnt bother her anymore..got it..careful how you treat ppl folks
Although considering how the guy already had a girl/corpse tied down in that pool, I would guess he didn't kidnap the girl (or the girls?) JUST to help Sara out.
Everything is right but why in Title it says 'Horror' ?
@@rkklingam cause of the whores
@@rkklingam Well, horror is sort of objective? To some, the murderer, the blood on the car window and the corpse in the pool is horror enough. To some, the way the others treated the chubby girl is a very realistic horror.
@@rkklingam Maybe because of the Blood? the dead body seen beneath the Pool AND the helpless girl cover in Blood begging the main character for Help? also, the mental terror of being tease about her overweight body? if you have no idea what horror is . . . . . maybe go seek out your experience of a predator stalking you either it be Human, Animal, or Other.
It's weird when a murderous lunatic has more humanity than 'regular' people.

This film hits all the right notes. So many have been 'Piggy' at one time or another in their lives.
Sara did not speak one word, yet her performance told the story. How beautifully told it was! While i wish nothing like that to happen to any bully in real life, I have to say that was absolute sweet revenge! Call her Piggy when she is vulnerable but when they find their own selves in a predicament, they suddenly call her Sara.... pathetic, weak bullies. Sorry, but I loved every bit of this! Absolute stellar performance by Sara, not speaking one word...and it was powerful.
No we hope it's gonna happen to all the bullies in this world
I like that little wave she gives him after he drops her backpack from his window. That silent "Yea.... okay I didn't see anything" followed by his "Good, take care" spoke volumes.

Shes a great actress. 0 words were said but you knew everything she was going through.
Exactly
perhaps she wasnt acting at all, she was just beeing she lol
Without a doubt
Without a doubt
she is amazing
This was deeply, deeply uncomfortable. I have seen many, many horror films and shorts and this is by far one of the most awful to watch, in the best way possible. Excellent work, truly a masterclass in dredging up deep-seated emotion from your audience!
wassah
She's actually quite pretty, I would so be her friend! She seems so sweet and so kind💖
Just a theory... The killer, probably got bullied that hard too, at some point during his childhood.
Did her the favor by ending their lives so she wont eventually turn out like him or commit suicide
DAMN great interpretation!
I have one, too: the reason why Sara doesn't say a word in the film is because she's either mute or has a mental disability that prevents her from having fluent verbal conversations with those around her.... Which just made everything the bullies did seem 100x worse..
@@VirginiaDowdy777821 good theory too
@@VirginiaDowdy777821 The sad thing is this still does exist today.
I like this theory your smart
He just got done killing someone when Sara showed up. There was another dead body in the water too. U catch it?
Yes
She seems to miss a lot of things going on around her,because of what she is thinking about. She missed some things underwater,and she walked by the guy carrying the girl over his shoulder.
Yes I saw that too, at 3:50
I think sara has been aware of the deadbody in the water, thats why she seemed anxious while she came up from the water and looked on the guy, then the ladies trapped her with the net. She would try to warn them but they didn't even give her any seconds to breath.
Yep! 👀
This really hits home for me. The acting was eerily realistic and reminds me of things I went through myself as a young teen. All the actors in this made the plot feel very real, especially the one playing Sara. I love that she also wasn't afraid to show herself off like this for the film. They should be showing stuff like THIS in schools to make kids aware of the impact of bullying and abuse, instead of those weak "don't bully, be nice!" videos which often pardon abusers anyway. Bravo!
The main actress is amazing, I really felt what she portrayed, and I never got bullied in my life. I just wanted to hug her along the whole film. She was so intense we all cheer up to the killer (that is quite insane 😅 but her suffering was so tough that the killer sorted out to be the best relief).
Great job!
You can't say the boyfriend didn't do his job protecting her..
Yeah, but he isn't her boyfriend
😂 😂 The girls already named him her boyfriend even when he wasn't.
The joke is that's not her bf so calm down guys
Bollywood Goddess he is now
Yeah, what a good boyfriend lol
I didn't find this story to be frightening at all. It's was actually really sad. Nobody should have to go through life being terrified like that.
If u r going through this its horror
This channel often shows moral tales and such as well as horror shorts
Not frightening for the viewer but it is for the victim....plus not everybody can just lose weight like that by eating good some peoples body system dont work that way
@Jake Maxwell isnt this exactly what the girl was doing? Exercising? And even like that she still lived that terror
Jake Maxwell Literally stfu it’s not that easy. Unless you were once fat and lost a ton of weight from salad and exercise you can’t be talking
Love that she puts the headphones on at the end. ❤ this is was so traumatizing but in the end its basically the dark thoughts u have about bullies when they come to life.
Amazing short film!
I was bullied for my appearance as a child, a teen and a young adult - every day.
As a result I'm suffering from severe anorexia and depression for 20 years now and I don't think I'll ever recover.
My heart goes out to everyone who is bullied. It ruins your life.
Be strong my friend! ❤️👍
I was bullied for years back in school and I was traumatized for years as a result until I gave my life to Jesus. Now He helps me through it.
morale of the story: Bullying is never ok.
Agree 100%! And... hope you are well! 😷✌
@@MissTique247 hey Kathy👋🏾All is well and yourself?
So far, so good here! 😉🤞🏻But Thank God for ALTER, and a few other channels, at least I am entertained!
I thought it was dont get fat🤔
Really never thought of that
This was way scarier than the supernatural stuff. Girls being mean to girls, running on the road with almost no clothes(nightmare come true) and being so helpless when it comes to helping someone..
Good job Alter!
It's scarier because it could happen in reality.
@@KimberlyLetsGo yeah
Yea the running on the open road like that scene scared me. I can’t imagine how terrified that must feel
@@amanduhqsm One of the most vulnerable things I can think of. Like dreaming of discovering you are naked at school or work.
Lol are you InDIAN
So the only one who showed any humanity was the serial killer. Now THAT'S irony.
That's a good actress. She doesn't say a word but we know exactly what she's thinking. Well done.
Sarah’s acting is impeccable. Without a word her impressions were amazing. I hope she’s in more films.
The main character was brilliant, not a word but I heard all her story and all her pain , great job. Thank you Alter and Thank you Sara.
Yes, yes! She did a very good job! I felt her every emotion!
My thoughts exactly
She's also a good acter
Well she said one word
my theory is that the murderer was harassed in his youth, for this reason he sympathize with sarah, regardless of his contempt for human life
Very likely. The fact that he throws Sarah her stuff INCLUDING her cellphone shows that he knows (or thinks he knows) how Sarah is feeling and that he is absolutely confident she won't use the cellphone to call the cops.
Yep, you nailed it!
yep, i thought the same!
Two types of monster are on display in this movie. The first is the serial killer acting outside human society's mandates by murdering people outright, and yet treats Sara with genuine humanity.
The bullies, on the other hand, know how to humiliate and break Sara in ways that are still legally "permissible." (At the very least, they don't have to worry about ever going to jail.)
Which one is worse?
The bullies ofc
Sara was being bullied by being called a pig and the serial killer’s lover. I think definitely what sold her pain was her tears, and she didn’t have to speak words to display it. The ending was definitely unexpected although I knew the killer would appear somewhere toward the end, just didn’t know he’d be helping her in his own way. He’s a killer but he’s also alright, I guess. He dropped her stolen stuff and was like “Well? 😐” and Sara said “Yeah, let them have it.” That was wild, but a masterpiece for sure. Well done.
He was only helping her take out the trash 👌🏻🤷🏼♀️
True
Trueee ;^;
Exactly
The best.
good one.
This was wonderfully done. I loved how the main character didn’t speak at all but you could clearly understand what she was going through.
Yeah... Totally
☺
The actress did a really good job!
She yelled at the swimming pool.. i think
I wish there was a ❤️ option for this comment ! Yeess ! 👍🏼👏🏼
I think this one is in my top 5 of all the horror shorts I’ve seen thus far.
The lead actress is utterly brilliant, her ability to convey every emotion without speaking a word… I’m in awe.
Those of us plus size people know those vulnerabilities and fears, I FELT every single ounce of what she gave.
Absolutely brilliant, from start to finish, everyone involved.
Thank you !!!
💖🌸💖
Bro this girl that people are calling “piggy” looks really pretty
I think that guy helped her because he is heavy too and he knows how it feels to be bullied. (the reason they were calling him her boyfriend is because he's "fat" according to them, just like her)
When she went for the dip there was another body in the pool, probably another bully that he killed and threw in.
Finally! I was looking for this particular comment now I can stop scrolling down and sleep XD
Damn, didn't think of it like that
@@MisssValentine Hahaha 🤣 there u go. I was also thinking why nobody mentioned it.
I kinda saw it the same but the other body in the pool i kinda thought maybe he's part of the cartel and he felt bad for the girl but felt offended by the comments so he killed them but the other guy maybe he had to cause cartel
Nah… he had hopes of a tit job.
This actress is so brave baring her scar and portraying a victim of extreme bullying and mental / emotional abuse. She had to be completely vulnerable in every way to play this part and she was brilliant! Not one word was needed to show every bit of suffering she experienced. So well done 👏🏼
I think its prosthetic?? Or whatever artificial thing,
Because she have neck and its move too much
@@akinemainunangugel9650 Because hiring a makeup artist to put that much prosthetics on a smaller sized actress is SO much cheaper than just hiring a plus-sized actress.
Shes a queen
@@akinemainunangugel9650 The actress has the scar and is that size in real life :)
Cuál cicatriz ?
The horror short film was intriguing. A few years later, a feature film titled "Piggy" was released, featuring the same actress who played the bullied girl in the lead role.
The irony when a killer has more honorable traits than the bullies…
To be perfectly honest, I find her to be quite pretty. And this was overall so cute, like, the guy did not know her but helped her out with no desire for anything in return. Such a kind gentelman. 😊
Plot twist: maybe it's her biological father 🧘♀️☻
👍 si
I disagree when you said "Kind gentlemen".
Theirs nothing Kind and Gentle about Killing all those people.
Those bullies doesn't deserve that. They're just immature kids. I feel bad for the people like "Sarah" though because being bully is not a pleasant experience. But still, murdering those kids. It's just messed up 😟
@@highhitsofnicedpunk Eh, they got a punishment for their actions, despite it being "too extreme", but he basically stood up with her without involving others, so efficient. And he returned the girl's items back to her, isn't that just kind?
He made sure the ultimate justice was served, Soo cool
Yeah I loved this guy such a cutie right 😃💕
I couldn’t help but feel how lucky this girl was on that day. Yes, the whole general situation sucked from her weight’s self consciousness, to what appeared to be some cognitive issues, to epic middle school bullying. But, she was lucky on that day. That she did not see the body in the water and the ‘boyfriend’ assumed she was in on the situation. That the idiot boys in the car did exactly what you expected them to do, but did not take advantage of the situation further, spurred on by peer pressure/mob mentality. That she was able to escape the ‘boyfriend’ by gesturing a wave, which allowed him to think she was on his side. (Yes, he had already dropped the backpack, but
I was not taking for granted that she was safe at that point or that the backpack was not bait.) Sara reminds me of a relative of mine, who, with some family support and some good luck, did the best she could with the crappy hand she was dealt with in life. Sara is a true survivor. I wish all the Saras in this world the best. And remember “if you wait by the river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float by.” You don’t always have to *be* Karma - Karma sometimes comes to you
And sometimes it never comes at all. You just gotta do you. Hopefully find an amazing friend or two to help you through it.
Am I a sicko for liking what you wrote: “If you wait by the river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float by”? I truly love that quote.
Jenni Tulls it’s an old proverb, I can’t take credit. The point is, I believe, that if someone is such a jerk that you want to kill them, they are probably driving other people nuts, too. And those others might be angrier than you and do the dirty work for you.
What the heck are you talking about??
The dudes in the car hit me hard. I had that happen a few times to me in school and I never wanted to slash someone's tires more in my life. My question though is WHY IS SHE SWIMMING I THAT DIRTY WATER?!
*_Sara deserves an Oscar for her acting in this astounding film !!!_*
Sara's actress was excellent, beautiful and sad in so many ways. Conveyed her entire character without a single word. She truly made this film.
Loved this! Been binge-watching shorts on RUclips from Omeleto, Screamfest, Dust, etc.
I marvel at the production quality and talent!
Covid who?
I mean, she did say Claudia.
Thanks for the recommendations for the other channels!
She said no words but I felt her pain through her emotions. Very well played
I felt her pain to😥. Those girls and boys were so mean😡👿!
Yes wel wel play
Those feels/emotions when you are completely defenseless. (I felt that...) 😢😞😖
Good game
WAR
For people who don't know, they already released a whole movie about this, with the same name, and same story but extended to be a feature film.
I think we all can agree that the true horror part of this film was the main character getting bullied
Also,the look on the Killers face that says,"We cool,you don't tell about my murders,I take care of your bullies?" The best person to have as a friend! To the writers,producers,directors love this film.
The Trend Exactly.
“I didn’t see anything. I don’t know anything”.
Yes!
Hi, This is Carlota Pereda, writer/director of "Piggy". Thank you so much in my name and all the cast and crew.Stay safe.
Agree, 5/5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
She said 🙋
The real horror here is how Sara is mistreated and bullied by the girls in the pool and the guys in the car... that was way more uncomfortable than the serial killer itself
I completely agree with you
What serial killer?... I only saw Superman.
@@POYSSI Not all superheroes wear capes 🤣
@@patrick1916 indeed 😂
Well..that´s the point of the short film!!!
I prefer this over the movie. Unlike the one in the movie, it’s kind of right to assume that instead of lusting after her, he felt a kinship towards her, probably because he was horrifically bullied in his youth. Until one day he snapped. He was there watching them drown her and it all came back to him. It’s kind of funny how a killer had more kindness in them than the “normal” girls. He basically did her a favor, though. She either would’ve killed them herself, becoming another serial killer, or would’ve killed herself to escape her suffering. At the end, it looks like she found a new sense of confidence, and I have a feeling she won’t let others push her around as easily anymore.
As a fat girl who's been bullied by mean popular girls when I was a teen at an extent that was pretty similar to that, this movie just feels so good. I can't count how many times i wished harm on those girls, I was hopeless and constantly daydreaming about scenarios like those one. This is weird, maybe, but it was the only thing I could do, because there was no one to talk to, no hope for anything to get better, so scenarios of violence wandered in my head more often than it should have. I relate so much to Sarah, because she was alone, vulnerable, and unable to defend herself. This movie was hard to watch, but i'm glad I did, because the ending was a big hug to my heart. But I don't think I'd be able to watch it again.
its not about the girl being beautiful or not, it's about having manners and being respectful to people, specially to people that never did something wrong to you, so yeah they deserved it.
And wtf who makes fun of big people when they're trying to work out?
Their pieces of shit for it but idk if they deserve to be tortured and killed
Killing is never necessary so they did not deserve it but yeah they are assholes and should’ve been punished a different way
@@aurevoirshoshanna900 True

Dude she is absolutely beautiful and wouldn’t mind taking her on a date
I was delighted when Sarah waved back at the 'killer'...the acting is impeccable here👌
She did not wave back, she agreed to their deal out of fright - he gave her back her stuff and she did not interfere with his serial shit
@@NewStarConstellation She agreed, but not out of fright. She felt relieved because the man was going to get rid of her bullies (at list the worst of them). That wave was like a "thank you" .
@@dicenqueeresantigua6415 She peed out of fright seconds before, and the girl was not the worst of her bullies - it was her former friend who was peer-pressured into mistreating her by the two other girls whose group she'd like to be part of.
On the other hand she surely was relieved and thankful to get her stuff back which the bullies took away.
I think we both are right on this. It is a very intense and complex scene which was extremely good acted by all involved; in fact I think this goes for the whole short.
@@NewStarConstellation your response is well thought out and awesome. But it shows how great the writing is if it can cause such debate but many view points on it while still being clear on its story and themes.

But why didnt the guys do anything,you think they good guys?
@@pickleeggs3340. Harassment, fat shaming, putting Sara in fear of some sort of assault. And a tight budget may have meant shortening that part.
I've got good news for you...
She was incredible.
When even for a serial killer the bullying is too much it means IT IS too much. Congratulations to the whole team and the girl who acted as Sarah. She conveyed so many emotions without saying a single word!
Every girlfriend I've ever had has told me that females can be brutally cruel to each other. This film is great at evoking strong feelings that shift violently. Well done!
Yup .your girlfriends were right about that tho.
@@jdsingh1440 woah?
@@theTrend7 Oh some men hold grudges don't even deny it.
@@jdsingh1440 do stupid incel fucks like you even know what simping is?
Typically when guys fight it's physical and then they let it go, with girls they typically don't let it go, and do everything they can to make that someone suffer without any blame coming back to you
Body shaming is one of the most horrible form of bullying. I really like it when Alter takes on crucial matters and turns them into remarkable short films and leave us with ever lasting impressions. 🌼 :)
Body shaming and harrassment are different. An adult might shame a fat person as for being concerned for a healthy community. What is shown in this video is harrassment, which is totally wrong. Body shaming for the sake of bullying and enjoyment are also wrong. Body shaming should be at the expense of guidance for the fat person to stay fit and healthy which is necessary for a better society.
Body shaming! Try being a murdering psychopath! It’s like everybody has the right to have a go! And a body you can change, easy, trust me; the bodies I have changed, and minds, too - but try straightening out a mind.... legless baby steps!
@@MT-qt9mw you are false, harassment , aggressive pressure or intimidation... they were calling her fat you dolt. They would not be harrassing her if they were comfortable with what her appearance was, those who think a society is better , with everyone fitting into a certain mold, is healthy, no that is hell. Shallow people worry about others appearance, those with empathy will regard everyone with compassion.
@@johnlane2395 If shallow people are the ones who worry about other's appearance and if its vanity to be conscious about your own, it's already a hell if we make matters subjective. To live in this consumerist world where industries and brands keep feeding us with propaganda and Idiocracy, where fat shaming is a generalized term, we as humans are desecrated from within our souls. That's not our greatest people in history stood for. A healthy body, noble bearing mind and structure, conscious about order and values in society. We live in a world where culture is dictated by movie stars and industrialists instead of artists and philosophers, so dont give me bullshit about shallow-mindedness.
Amen!
That pool water was scarier than anything else...
This poor girl, people need to grow up and stop judging others based off looks. All bodies are beautiful and the people that say otherwise don't deserve your friendship.
I think that the really scary thing is that Sara can’t possibly help these girls. She surely can’t outrun or outfight an adult, 100% armed man. The last minutes were the scariest for her because she spent them thinking that she’ll be the next victim, and she knew that if he wanted he could easily add her to the collection of corpses. THAT was the scariest part, especially for a young girl - to be completely at mercy of a violent stranger
Tem Tem ok gumball
BISHOP_THE_FIRST , sometimes I hate my profile pic 😂
Tem Tem The guy was HELPING Sara. Why would you want to save those girls when they tried drowning Sara earlier?! Like, wtf?
Jenni Tulls , dude, he was a killer. He didn’t kill those girls because of high morals, he killed them because they annoyed him and he had no problem with beating some girls to death. Actually helping the protagonist would be defending her when she was drowning, calling cops on those bitches, helping Sara to get home. Did he try to shoo away the girls and assist Sara? No. He stalked a bunch of chicks and destroyed them. He was not helping her, he was getting rid of a nuisance
I assumed that Sara might think about helping them because seeing someone bleed and scream is a bit horrifying. Some people have empathy. She may or may not want the girls to die, but that’s not the point I was trying to make.
The point is that she could have just as well become a victim of this guy cause she happened to be a witness, and her survival is not a grand gesture of sympathy, it’s a whim
Tem Tem 100%
Moral of the Story : If you can't lead your child to be a good person, later someone will erase them
Lol yep
Unfortunately this is not the case. Assholes do seem to often get to high posititons.
@@andreabrava6899 the Problem is, there's just so many of them!
That, or they mess themselves up. Best case scenario
Everyone can be cruel. The bullies. The strange man. And the victim turning a blind eye. We're all capable doing/letting things happen.
Ok so this was *EXTREMELY DISTURBING* . The bullying part was way more disturbing than the killing part. I was just imagining myself during my childhood when I was bullied in school for being introvert. Unfortunately/fortunately, all we gotta do is to stand up for ourselves. I changed when I was in class 6 and after that nobody dared to bully me again. The only way to help yourself from bullies is to show them their place (in whatever way possible)
Here's a thought I had: What if Sara was going to that river/pool regularly to swim, for exercise? Clearly she feels self conscious about her weight, so maybe she was trying to make a healthy choice and feel better, and then those nasty girls just have to come up and tease her, putting her down when she might've been really trying to do something for herself.
It's sad that stuff like this happens IRL too, people apparently having nothing better to do with their time than put others down.
TNTcommenter Awesome points really good insight!
That's part of why losing weight is so hard. People will mock overweight people for exercising, or even eating healthy food. Eventually you just feel like it doesn't matter what you do, so why not just sit around and eat?
When ur fat you people assume you spend your days laying in bed eating absolutely everything when in reality we're too self conscious of our bodies and at least had tried to lose weight at some point, often we have healthier habits than skinny people
And we're still the piglets
Your comment really hit Home for Me I was at the gym and I'm overweight and I was working out at the gym and that day at the gym I went to go lift some weights there was this lady who was slim and She saw Me walking over to go work out and pick up some barbells there was lots of room and space but She quickly walked away like I was a blob going to cause destruction Her way Lol She had rolled Her eyes and left but I still stayed and said to Myself oh well and continued to work out I gave up soda now for 2 years and going strong My Face is smaller People tell Me I lost weight but I still just don't see it but I'm working on Myself the best I can It's a daily Journey for Me to get better God Bless Everyone all over the World
bro dat ain't a thought dats true faxs waht u jus said mad respect for u g 👏😌
As a chubby girl myself, I feel her on an emotional level. I really felt bad for her being bullied and just wanted to hug her! So kudos to the actress on AN AMAZING job and all the other awesome actors as well!
And kudos to everyone who worked hard on this! It came out really well!
I hope your days get better 💜
Same. It's really sad that some people care about what's outside more than what's inside. Beauty is defined by society, unfortunately, even though it's only temporary.
♡
What struck me most about this film was the wonderful cinematography especially at the beginning. Beautiful and talented work. I was transported to another time and place, surely this is the essences of good film making. These elements and techniques could be extended deeper into future films and interwoven. Not easy to do!
I love how when she gets her phone there is this second where she considers calling someone but then she's like nah .. I saw nothing 😂😂
توبوا الى الله لأن بالصلاح والاسلام تحيا النفوس والقلوب
...Repent to Allah in Islam because by Islam live the souls and hearts
Where was this guy when I was getting bullied in school?
Yeah same here! I could've used a boyfriend like him when i was getting picked on
Oh, I needed him also...
im here tho im a girl well i know where it hurts
i got bullied for having anorexia 👁👄👁
Sameeee.
Very glad there is more to this story. Also, the actress is convincingly playing a teenager, and she's in her thirties. Some people are just blessed.
It's hard to tell how old fat people are 🤣
No, she looks like she's in her damn thirties. Stop with the lies!
She is immortal.
Unfortunately they didn't included the part in short film the serial killer gave her all her stolen possession. In the movie it was just one of the bullies towel.
That's crazy! It never crossed my mind that she was a day over 16.
I watched the movie. This Short was way better than the actual movie.... Props to Laura Galán! She did a great one on both Productions!
Am I the only one who found it friggin wholesome that Sara actually thanked the serial killer instead of doing the stereotypical 'gotta run, help or call the police'?
This is such an amazing short. A serial killer who is a sympathetic to a girl who is bullied and fat shamed. I can't wait to watch the full-length.
Я не думаю, что он ей сочувствует, у него другая "забота".
Yeahhhh I dont think that was sympathy
@@kaeki8175 I saw the movie over the weekend. Seemed like sympathy to me.
but on the other hand he kills beautiful girls like YOU, ha ha ha
that was the full movie😀
Bro... Sara's actress is absolutely gorgeous, and so good at what she does! Her acting was amazing and personally, even though it was used as an insult in script, I think the bikini was well suited and flattering.
Yeah, if only she'd pull the bottom half up though 😂
AGREED!
Unfortunately it's hard to express this without it coming off like virtue signaling, but she is seriously hot.
The bikini top was good, the bottom was - probably deliberatly - a little too small and thus emphasized her padding in an unfavorable way from behind and also emphasizing the belly flap that hung over it. Also the big dimple of her belly scar (cesarian? badly done liposcution in the past?) was a bit unsetteling. A great acting performance for sure, it takes a lot of courage to act in such a vulnerable role. Also I did find her quite attractive, she is curvy in all the right places and would look stunning in a more favorable bathing suit.
Oh I thought it was just me
Sara is just so beautiful absolutely stunning she didn't say a word but I felt everything she was thinking or feeling. Now That's an actress. She needs to be in more movies/tv . I can't think of a time where I saw someone convey what they think/feel without a single word. Great filmmaking as well. I saw this is now a movie wondering if anyone saw it and if it compares to this marvelous short film
Great script, story, excellent acting, happy ending. A main character we genuinely care about, and a likable serial killer. One of the best short films I've seen.
I'm really happy alter cover topics like this, they are using there platform to spread even more awareness
Thanks for watching Melissa! We firmly believe that films, and especially the horror genre, can point to the fears of today in a meaningful way. Because of that, we want good, scary films that also have something to chew on.
Stay ALTERed.
indeed
Same here
Yes, but word of advice. Don't be fat, hit that diet!
Bully happen everyday n it's the teenager n kids who r doing most of the bullying. But they make it too unrealistic with the road scene
My heart went out to her. I was bullied as a teen over my appearance and teenagers really are sociopaths. I loved this ending. Just perfect!
People can be extremely mean sometimes. Hope you’re doing well!❤
our modern societal system is what makes it so
That's so gross I hope you're doing well now❤😊
same here,👍
العله فيهم وليس فيك ..كوني محبه لنفسك واعتزي انك ملكه من الداخل ..تحياتي لك من فلسطين
People sometimes fall into a dark places or health issues happen.. there is a clear line from teasing and bullying... You never know what a person might be going through.....
This film deserves a short film award for both the film and actor.
I love how at the end you think she may use her phone to call the police but instead she just puts on music 😆
Yeah, this part is the best
😄😂
why should the bullied person care if someone is going to take care of their bully...
This is satisfying 😁😂😂
Actually he is the ♂️
Yea I luv how ya spoiled that for me
Made me cry. I was bullied for being fat whilst younger and this was cathartic to watch. Claudia especially is the worst - weak, giving in to peer pressure. Even though I know morally these girls shouldn't be murdered, knowing it's fiction I'm actually happy about it.
Me too!! It was Hell! Karma got them too! Not the same way, but got them nevertheless! I'm 66, and sometimes I still think about it!
Karma will decide who shall be murdered and not. That's not for us to decide, but karma knows what's up and who will die, when and where. Love it
Right. Claudia just wanted to be down with the other girls but you could tell she knew it was wrong. Too weak minded to take a stand. She was the last to perish.
That part with the pool skimmer gave me war flash backs to middle school. My bullies did something similar. They called it “whaling”.
Of all the things ive ever watched, horror or other, idk if I've ever laughed n cried at the same time,this is by far one of the best short films I've ever seen!!!
This...really hit a hard spot in my heart...because i used to be very very heavy... im chubby still but nothing like i was when i was younger....i felt her pain and her sadness...i just wanted to go down to her and give her my clothes off my back to give her comfort and support...i just want to cry...thank you for making this and reminding me on how to support and love someone no matter how heavy they are.
Have you been Murdering bullies? I'm not saying your wrong,asking for a friend. 😄
But in all seriousness you are right.
She might be somewhat over weight however, she looks ok to me.
Hi, I'm Carlota Pereda, writer director of "Piggy". Thank you for your words.
Same, I am actually one of the biggest girls in my entire school. I am in middle school and everyone here is very skinny and petite while I am very heavy set and so not skinny at all. I hate myself and I felt her pain.
@@shelbypayne7057 do not hate yourself, you are a goddess, do not let anyone tell you different!!!!
You can't get away with everything by just saying "I was kidding"
Exactly!
Ditto
and she didn't even say that, how rude.
I just stumbled on one of your videos and now subscribed. Man I'm thankful for that, you guys are doing great stuff! Would actually like to see a full film by you guys.
I was afraid that she might have drowned at the beginning and that's why the bullies ran off scared. Turns out it had a happy ending after all!
