    So many ways to interpret this movie, from a gory horror angle, the depths of addiction to frightening psychosis, great pace & build up, very well made. The Jess actress is totally invested in the character & the Triffid plant predator is always a terrifying concept. I'll hope to see more work from FFP, thanks.

    Nice nice niceeeeee. Boyfriend’s acting was spot on with abusive gaslighting. I wasn’t sure if that’s what he was doing at first bc as a victim of gaslighting it is extremely hard to pin point if you’re not looking for it or don’t know the signs. Left me feeling really distressed listening to him and watching her reactions because that’s how it really looks and feels. Hit home. Nicely done.

    Pretty girl becomes abuse victim of handsome evil boyfriend. People should realize how this story happens in reality in real relationships. This story uses deep dark wild horrifying visual metaphorical drama to emphasize how severe these situations can become. I think this short film is brilliantly done presenting a solid effort toward raising awareness of these type relationships...they're so often hidden inside this busy world where victims become lost though they might be publically seen...abusers can be very crafty at disguising their crimes.

    “THE MUSEUM PROJECT” back in 2016.

    Really good Movie! Thx for sharing this with us. 99% of this movie takes place in the Main Character's head and it vaguely reminds me of Jacob's Ladder and even the videogame Silent Hill 5 Homecoming. I say the mangroves, and the woods represent her mind/brain; the root creature and ghostly humanoid beings represent her inner demons; The "Stay On The Path" signs represent that she MUST stay on the path of recovery, IF she is to change her predicament. The black wall poster in the Doctor's office blatantly spells this out, in addition to all the signs. The runtime is long, because :A)Of the HEAVY hellish nature of her recent past (then again, we don't know how long she's been in the hospital), which B)Causes her to revisit all the trauma in her psyche. In the end (pun intended), Her recovery is up to her-that's why the film ends the way it does. Also interesting how her appearance is somewhat corpselike-really drives home the gravity of the situation. Looking forward to seeing more films.

    I was SO surprised at how scary this movie is.....and I was really disappointed when it ended!!! Great metaphor for a life trapped in addiction. The plants and the woman that were trying to kill her was heroin.....

      You get it all wrong. It is nothing about addiction at all. It is about domestic violence.

    Did the A.I. write that starting dialogue?

    Interresting movie overall. Makes one wonder what drove each other, the psychiatric case, or the supernatural encounter ?
