I just came from GotdamnZo and when I tell you I was shocked. I expected it to be the guy in front of the father. Then it made me think it was the man who wouldn’t get out of the car. Then, I finally believed it was the man helping the father search for his daughter. I couldn’t believe my eyes after seeing who it was the whole time. This film is incredible.
Phenomenal acting, suspenseful all the way through, realistic - this was the best short I’ve seen so far this year by a long shot. This is the way it should be done! Bravo, excellent work!
I also first saw it at the Cleveland International Film Festival. Good to see that it came around to Short of the Week and expand it's audience further. This was a wonderfully written and suspenseful script. Moe Dunford did a great job in the lead.
Please a need a part 2 because I have a million and one questions that need to be answered what’s in the other boot why is that man in the woods so sketchy it’s a lot of explaining that needs to be done great movie
This is something that could really happen to anyone. This is a real-world scenario type of horror film. The ending, with its lovely twist, leads to an overall believable film. Thanks Little Mermaid... Lovely...👍👍👍👍
I moderated the Q&A for this film when it came to the Savannah Film Festival - still one of my favorite films I saw while a student there. The group of filmmakers who came where also fantastic - highlight of my junior year of college!
Throughout the whole film I was wondering why the heck this guy is wandering all over the place and not talking to the Police Officer. It all makes sense now. Rishabh if you're watching this . dekhliya karr achi cheeze.
I know it been a year but please make a part 2 I need it as much as everybody else you can just make a good short film and end it like that it is too good and I have a lot of questions that need to be answered make a part 2 please
No elaboration of the characters’ stories, that guy in the end didn’t even open his trunk, though people heard a painting breathing there - what the hell?? Amazing amount of people didn’t care about the kid missing, no one wanted to cooperate. It can’t happen in real life - that amount of douche bags on the same road! That guy from the car behind was acting weird and telling shitty and disgusting things. The man from the woods was too suspicious, they didn’t even get to that camp, why to tell about it at all then??? And what are the chances to find a girl in the woods at all? Like 1%?? Nonsense! And the police was there already, why father didn’t ask for help immediately? Why not close the door to the car at all when your kid is inside? But okay, not the biggest problem about this movie. The biggest is - who the hell is that woman in the trunk and why is she there? Is it Karen? What happened to her? Why didn’t he close the car if there was a dead woman there? NO ELABORATION AT ALL. And really - what was in the truck of the guy who didn’t want to open it? Like nobody cared???
The women was the kids mom and the guys wife he kidnapped the girl and killed his wife and was going to dump her body when until he got stuck in traffic
It was him the whole time the man looking for his daughter!!! The daughter left the car because he heard the woman in the trunk say her name…. At the beginning he said he argued with the woman who was supposed to babysit her and she refused!!! And the car in the end doesn’t have a sunroof
I thought at the end the dad would be the one who killed her and had her in the trunk , maybe he was just be hallucinating his daughter from guilt I think that would have been a better ending I was confused by the ending But amazing short anyway
The monster is the father - that's his wife, bloodied and tied up in the trunk .She called out to Emma when the trunk was opened. At the start of the film he was trying to get his sister to look after Emma as he said something about his wife not being cooperative. And when Emma was found she said she'd "heard the monster scratching in the car" - this made the father realize the wife was still alive (presumably he'd tried to kill her) and so now he wanted to rush back to the car - "We have to run"...
I think the lady in the trunk is Karen, a wife who had a big argument with the man. Maybe after the argument he beat his wife almost to the dead, and put her in the trunk. I just don't know why Emma notice her mother in the trunk.
@@camez2345 I guess he was just some weirdo - harmless but virulently antisocial, just didn't want anyone too close. Also, a good trick by the director to purposely mislead us (especially since the other players also found him suspicious!)
That was Emma’s mom. The first scene he’s asking a female to watch Emma and states Karen can’t because they had a fight. Emma heard the moaning and it scared her so she ran,unaware it was her mom. Great twist!

That doubtful person turned into a good person...What a film...I just loved it❤
I remember seeing this at the Cleveland Film Festival back in 2017 and it's been on my mind since. Such a phenomenal short film.

Outstanding! The ending tho. What a crazy twist!!
Fantastic thriller! Never a dull moment, great ending.
This is the best short movie I’ve ever seen 😭. Please make a part 2 to this!!
the man who was silent,why didn't he open his car?
Maybe he had a condition. Some people just freak out by noise
Excellent short story, actors all believable, kudos to all

Nice catch. Very subtle!
What a brilliant short!
Oh wow I was at the edge of seat with this one! Probably one of the best ones I’ve seen… Bravo 👏

Hey well that was bloody great, intriguing from the start, gripping throughout with a touch of pain & suffering, then surprising & awesome by the end.
It was him the whole time the man looking for his daughter!!! The daughter left the car because he heard the woman in the trunk say her name…. At the beginning he said he argued with the woman who was supposed to babysit her and she refused!!! And the car in the end doesn’t have a sunroof
What was the point of putting the entire films spoiler in the comments without any warning, ur fun at parties I bet

Thanks Janet!
Cool short but...................Nobody saw the little girl run off??? Really? Come on.
This is a great thriller
😆they call trunks "boots" ..funny ....I like this accent ..like a leprechaun
Oh. My. God.
I thought at the end the dad would be the one who killed her and had her in the trunk , maybe he was just be hallucinating his daughter from guilt
I think that would have been a better ending
I was confused by the ending
But amazing short anyway
That would have certainly been a dark twist!
that plot has already done in Fractured
Nice 👍
So who was the monster she was hiding from?
Guys the real bad guy is the father..i mean the women in the car called EMMAS name sooo yeahhh
Part 2?
I don't understand the ending. Who's the monster and who's the lady in the trunk?
The monster is the father - that's his wife, bloodied and tied up in the trunk .She called out to Emma when the trunk was opened. At the start of the film he was trying to get his sister to look after Emma as he said something about his wife not being cooperative.
And when Emma was found she said she'd "heard the monster scratching in the car" - this made the father realize the wife was still alive (presumably he'd tried to kill her) and so now he wanted to rush back to the car - "We have to run"...
I think the lady in the trunk is Karen, a wife who had a big argument with the man. Maybe after the argument he beat his wife almost to the dead, and put her in the trunk. I just don't know why Emma notice her mother in the trunk.
@@rgarlinyc Ah, ok. But then who is the quiet nerd guy who won't open his window or trunk? Is he just symbolic and not actually there?
@@camez2345 I guess he was just some weirdo - harmless but virulently antisocial, just didn't want anyone too close. Also, a good trick by the director to purposely mislead us (especially since the other players also found him suspicious!)
@@rgarlinyc But the woman is in his car, not the dad's. Why? Who is he?
Do we have next part
There's no more unfortunately, this is it!
But what was in the other trunk? He was willing to run everyone over
Men bad, women good.
wait i don’t get it
And who is the woman calling EMMA from the Car's booth. Monster?
That was Emma’s mom. The first scene he’s asking a female to watch Emma and states Karen can’t because they had a fight. Emma heard the moaning and it scared her so she ran,unaware it was her mom. Great twist!
@@remedy9648 ,oh yeah. I appreciate your reply in the comment sections
wait.. was that the dads car with the body?
Yes
Good acting but like a lot of the rest it doesn't make any sense.
Its my doll😂
Этевульф?
Mommy's in the boot! Nobody saw the girl wander off... total nonsense!
