One thing I love about creators who don't overuse jumpscares: when they do use them, it really takes you by surprise. The noises when he's mutilating her, the description and the gore were all done really well also, really made me uncomfortable.
I felt the "jumpscare" when Mr. Crasswell is standing there menacingly, unmoving - which at least wasn't a simple loud noise + rush towards the camera - could've been skipped in favour of something else, or slightly improved upon. But that's about the only thing I CAN think of on the spot, and I'll usually be very harsh and focus on small things with my critique. I get there are people who like jumpscares, and ofc there are some amazing uses of jumpscares (cat hissing in Alien is a well-used example) but I am personally not a fan of them, they do nothing for me.
I feel similarly about this moment! I would've preferred if he actually never coughed (breaking the tension in the doorway) and instead just began to slowly walk toward her in the silence. We shot it like that, but none of the takes ended up working for one reason or another. The take we shot where he "coughs" was the only one that worked! Alas -- so it goes. Appreciate the feedback on this!
@@dylanclark Aw man, that's a shame. Because how you describe it, sounds absolutely more dread-inducing to me! Love your work man, keep it up. You have made some of the best horror I've ever seen, ever!
Ok, I love the red shower curtain. Nothing happened with it, but the striking red matching the blanket filled me with so much dread and uneasiness. If she opened the door and there was a simple white curtain, I wouldn't have given it a second thought, but the red? I was so worried something was going to happen. And nothing did happen. Just great letting us viewers make our own terror out of "nothing". Just a simple, matching, shower curtain
Tbh I thought it was a nod to that old horror movie "Psycho" since; Red curtains, bathroom and those high pitched music noises when she pulls the curtains aside to climb into the bathtub.
@@Mindboggles oh no, no! Psycho is in black and white. Maybe I too put Shining into my mind. I watched Psycho and The Shining before. I suppose red just translated to blood in my mind and with that music when she pushes the curtains aside I was just reminded of the famous scene in Psycho and even though the blood is black, due to being shot in black and white, it's still pretty obvious that's blood
The image of the red blanket in the door way slightly obscured by darkness with the eerily normal bathroom in the foreground might go down as one of the most iconic horror shots I’ve ever seen
@@jostockton. Well the jumpscare could have been far stronger if they had executed it in 4-5 seconds but instead they held it for about 8. It's less effective but still really good. The 3-6 second region is generally a point of extreme fear of a jumpscare. A jumpscare is very effective in this time zone. During this time though you also experience extreme fear. So instead of cutting it short he pushed the jump scares quality back to increase the amount of fear present before and after the jumpscare. I've watched this twice today and the mere silent suspense has me fucking dying.
@@dylanclark Silent Hill taught me that. On many occasions playing the first and second game, I thought something very bad would happen after going down the stairs or after crossing that corner.... But nothing happened, pulling that garter tighter and tighter in front of my face until I couldn't take it anymore And by the way, what an excellent short film! I am delighted with your work :D
Horror with a touch of self aware humour. This was brilliant. And the short runtime really is perfect for this. Not a single second was wasted. It was captivating from start to finish.
Great use of audio and letting our imagination fill in the horror of what’s being described in the audiobook. Excellent pacing, editing, directing, acting, and gore!
We we're studying how to make short horror film and our friend suggested your portrait of god. Then we we're shocked to see there's a newly released one and we loved it! Thank you for inspiring us with this newest short horror film!
Making a horror story the monster in a horror film is amazing. Even a bland horror story can cause so much terror of someone remembers this film while listening
I love how this is a horror film that is making a commentary on horror films where the main monster is horror itself. meta. And the analysis on how, in some ways, we want to be scared, is really deep.
As someone who constantly listens to true crime podcasts while home alone, this one gave me a particular kind of chills. Well done! Can’t wait for the behind-the-scenes video!
2:03. I like how the author directly alluded to that feeling when you're hearing a story and relate it to your situation in some sense and that fear that we associate with the events we're experiencing.
So much that I loved about this. The camera tilts and push ins were beautifully done and I loved the colour grading. And the concept itself is just brilliant. Loved the small detail towards the end where the podcast skips itself. Amazing work all around.
I have never seen anyone "pop", hah, out bangers after bangers like this. After the Face of God I've made sure to spread your work as much as I can, 102k subs is CRIMINALLY underrated.
Damn, I haven't felt such intense terror in a long time, literally, he is very, very immersed in the situation and my fingers even ended up shaking after watching it... 10/10
You really think Hollywood directors and writers can't make short films like this (and way better than this)? They absolutely can. It's easy to make a great short film (relative to skill, obviously I can't make one myself), because you don't have to build up any type of background or story or give any answers. A 90 minute film is much harder, and it's why the vast VAST majority of people who make great short films never do anything else. Because they can't. The difference between a short and a full movie is insane, and it's incredibly difficult to take a 7 minute story that has no intro, no character development, no background, no storyline, no lore, no answers, etc etc etc, and turn it into an actual movie which DOES contain all of those things.
@@tbaxter07 I'm sure that there are still talented folks in Hollywood who given free rain could do some impressive things, but in the last 30ish years I can't off the top of my head think of a single big budget piece that didn't leave me feeling "meh". I obviously haven't seen every single horror film that has come out but I do try to keep my eyes open as stuff comes out. Can you recommend to me anything worth watching that had significant financial backing, be it a short or full length feature, that you believe does a better job of creating a sense of tension/suspense/dread? I would be even happier if you could show me one that leaves you with a sense that the people involved in the films creation had a lot of fun doing so like Dylan's works do.
I am a short film addict. I don't much care for horror films, no matter the length, but I wanted to tell you that you are a genius! You are at the top of your game, sir. Peak entertainment. I love it. Watched Portrait of God a while back and was amazed. I'm starting Remains now. Keep at it. You have a gift.
@@jannatulferdous8003 I sure could, depends what you are after though. If you like Lovecraftian/ Cosmic Horror I could definitely help you out. I have some other suggestions as well, though I am not a big of 'ghost/ vampire/ werewolf' stories etc.
I hesitate to say this, because all of your work is so good, but this is seriously next level. One of my favorite horror shorts I’ve ever seen. Great stuff, Dylan
I was searching for some shorter films that were genuinely creepy and stumbled upon a separate channel with good films who had recommended you in the comments of one of their videos. Have to say I am not the least bit disappointed. Every last moment of this was captivating and well thought out. The little details really shine through and this overall was one of the best films I have ever seen. Incredible work my friend.
This one’s editing is REALLY top notch, it’s nuts to do a binge of your films from years back and jump to this one’s amazing quality! You weren’t kidding with that “headphones recommended” part either, this audio is your BEST yet! The switches from mono to binaural are so immersive and definitely my favorite part about this new short! Not to mention the color palette. I LOVE wine red + blue-green, it’s a match made in heaven, and you all RULED it! ❤ I think our protagonist believes the premise a bit too quickly and acts a bit odd compared to some of some smarter characters in the past, but you always manage to catch the biggest horror pitfalls before they happen. “Don’t open the door” in that invasive, uncharacteristically harsh tone from the narrator was awesome. Props to Sam Roberts! I have to say, my favorite scare was the shape in the hallway coughing. So much tension released in a PERFECT jumpscare. No ear-bleeding loud noise, no over the top visual, just beautiful tension and a payoff that confirms fears. Outstanding work there. Again, give yourself and your whole team a high five for more beautiful work! I hope you guys get to work on full horror films one day - I’d see it in theaters in a heartbeat! You’re all wonderful, thank you for sharing your skills with us! 💖💖💖
The color grading, build up, jump scares, narration and suspense! I'm impressed. This felt like an experience, like a thrill ride at a halloween theme park. So good
The color design in this was amazing I love how you kinda used a limited pallet with just red, white, black and greys it really really sets an eerie tone that was just so good
Truly a work of art. This takes sound design in horror films to another level. The story was fantastic and had an original concept which you dont see every day. Truly inspiring. I loved the acting and the cinematography. Well done :)
This was excellent! LOVE Sydney!! Please keep her in your stories. She’s incredibly believable and adds so much additional tension and investment with her acting. 👍🏻
This is the best short I have seen in a very long time. The camera placement at the end captured the terror of what the main character must have been facing. No pun intended. That story.... working in healthcare can be unsettling. That actress... is is amazing. She plays frightened very convincingly. Well done!
Wow, this is really excellent work by everyone. The actors, the director cinematography, special effects, sound etc. I watch tons of horror shorts and most are pretty good .Especially if you appreciate that they're made with small budgets and limited resources.but every now and then something like THIS comes along and just amazes me. Great job!
Best short I’ve seen in quite a while! The sound design is superb and every single transition is wonderfully executed and effective! Great story and performance! Again the direction is superb! I rarely comment on anything but this was excellent!
The TINY detail of seeing the playhead skip forward to the very end is AMAZING. You put so much work into these projects and it really shows! Its been so long since I've stumbled across such a characteristically unique and fresh batch of short stories like the ones you make here.
I loved every bit of it. The danger of anxiety inducing red and dead coldness of greenish blue contasting each other. The popping image of evil beneath the red blanket. The frame work that traps the girl into an unimaginable horror. The sound design that leads us into inner turmoil. The fan over her head that indicates her doom. The slow built up and slow burn of the story. The jumpscare that was placed so well and the narrators voice that was supposed to be reassuring while turning out cruel and evil at the end of it. Good job!
Hell yeah my man! Very well done! I especially LOVED the little detail at the end where you can just barley see the playhead zip forward, GREAT attention to detail!
I’ve only discovered your channel recently and have been binging through the older videos since. It’s my first time witnessing the release of a new one, and you can really tell each short improves drastically from the last. Please keep making videos; they’re all so good.
This is excellent work. You guys NAILED IT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I'm not sure If this could be a full movie or not, but I would love to see it. The acting was awesome, the narrator's voice is perfection. The lighting, the effects, everything just perfect. I have to follow and I'm looking forward to seeing more.
I thoroughly enjoyed that. I wasn't the biggest fan of the previous short (I know I was in the minority on that opinion) but I really enjoyed this one. The visuals were fantastic, the audio, whether the music or sfx, were spot on & really added to the experience. Amazing job. Mr. Clark.
The narrator has an immediate immersive tone. Whatever he reads would be so interesting. Great story, or maybe not because I listen to a lot of podcasts and audiobooks lol. Great job as usual. Keep up the amazing work to you and your team
Everything about this was amazing, from the story to the sound design to the casting... Poor girl. Just hearing what happens to her in the background as Mr. Creswell soothingly narrates her demise in real time never fails to send chills down my spine 😬
Fantastically well done. I've been watching a lot of short form horror recently and this artist really understands the medium. Everything is efficiently chosen with purpose and there is a clear idea of where you want to go and how to get there in such a short time.
Extremely well done... innovative and creepy with a suffocating sense of dread that builds, and then flashes to a crescendo at the end. Thank you for sharing this fine piece of work.
To me this felt like Dylan making it known that he doesnt need some horrifying creature like in Remains or Portrait of God to scare people and that all he needs is a bedsheet and excellent sound design. Another masterpiece. I cant get enough of this channel.
HOLY SHIT. I'VE BEEN WATCHING HORROR SHORTS IN RUclips SINCE MY TEEN YEARS, AND THIS ONE TAKES THE CAKE. It may not have the emotional heft that others possess, but for what it sets out to do, it did so in a masterful way. I mean from the cinematography to the sound design, to the pacing and the acting, and also it was SOOOOO FREAKING FUN. It might just be my mood right now influencing how much I dig your film, but I am looking forward to more success for your channel and for that feature film. You now have gained a fan from the Philippines.
I just so happened to stumble upon portrait of god a week or so back, after that I almost immediately binged the rest of your catalogue. Def a big fan of your works now!
Having watched all the previous films, I was expecting another creepy-faced creature. So I actually love the subversion that we never see what's under the red sheet. It's one of those simple but genius ideas, and you guys pulled it off so well! Bravo!
Wow! Brutal! Packing that much horror content, so well done in 7 minutes!?! Very impressive! That 7 minutes was better than a lot of horror movies I've seen that are around 2 hours.
lol fin hell man... great... just great. you are using sound and stereo placement of sfx so effectively. the end was truly snashing. nice dark lacquer flooring in the apt. couldn't peel my eyes/ears from the floors. subbing. you and your team are great. carry on

That you had the restraint to not show what Mr. Cresswell looked like under the blanket made it more impactful
Dear god the sacrifice of the bathroom jumpscare for pure suspense was brutal.
Sacrifice?

Let's go another movie! You are very creative and amazing filmmaker good job❤️ the quality is amazing❤️ thank you
There is nothing better than letting the audience use their imagination. Bravo! Brilliantly executed

The TINY detail of seeing the playhead skip forward to the very end is AMAZING. You put so much work into these projects and it really shows! Its been so long since I've stumbled across such a characteristically unique and fresh batch of short stories like the ones you make here.
who’s from tiktok
this is incredibly well written, and genuinely scary with simple effects and good edit
well done this is amazing
this is excellent. i love the use of colour and how bright the reds are. such a cool concept.
Deserves a full movie for itself, no cheap jumpscares, very well done. This is the best film I’ve seen in awhile
The ending was brilliant, rewinding to think she can escape only for a great jumpscare to play out
I loved every bit of it. The danger of anxiety inducing red and dead coldness of greenish blue contasting each other. The popping image of evil beneath the red blanket. The frame work that traps the girl into an unimaginable horror. The sound design that leads us into inner turmoil. The fan over her head that indicates her doom. The slow built up and slow burn of the story. The jumpscare that was placed so well and the narrators voice that was supposed to be reassuring while turning out cruel and evil at the end of it. Good job!
Excellent work! Everything draws you in: the narration, artistic sound, use of color… everything
once again such a good film so unsettling and so well put together
Absolute horror perfection. Your short films continue to be among the best of the best.
Hell yeah my man! Very well done!
I especially LOVED the little detail at the end where you can just barley see the playhead zip forward, GREAT attention to detail!
What do you mean?
Thanks Taylor! Glad you noticed that detail haha. Had fun adding that in.
Love this. One of the few short film channels I believe deserves more eyes.
I’ve only discovered your channel recently and have been binging through the older videos since. It’s my first time witnessing the release of a new one, and you can really tell each short improves drastically from the last. Please keep making videos; they’re all so good.
This is excellent work. You guys NAILED IT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm not sure If this could be a full movie or not, but I would love to see it. The acting was awesome, the narrator's voice is perfection. The lighting, the effects, everything just perfect. I have to follow and I'm looking forward to seeing more.
I thoroughly enjoyed that. I wasn't the biggest fan of the previous short (I know I was in the minority on that opinion) but I really enjoyed this one. The visuals were fantastic, the audio, whether the music or sfx, were spot on & really added to the experience. Amazing job. Mr. Clark.
The narrator has an immediate immersive tone. Whatever he reads would be so interesting. Great story, or maybe not because I listen to a lot of podcasts and audiobooks lol. Great job as usual. Keep up the amazing work to you and your team
This is by far one of the best horror short films I’ve ever see! Well done to you all! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Everything about this was amazing, from the story to the sound design to the casting... Poor girl. Just hearing what happens to her in the background as Mr. Creswell soothingly narrates her demise in real time never fails to send chills down my spine 😬
This short film is absolutely breathtaking ❣️I love the color scheme
Dude! How the F are you not a mainstream director yet??? You keep getting better with every short horror! Can't wait to see more.
This one is one of the best ones I’ve seen this and Lights out
Loved it. Brilliant work
Banger after banger after banger, kudos to the team, keep creating, this is definitely the set up for an amazing legacy of good horror films
Very laconic and beautiful, very scary. This is how stories with deep suspense should be directed!
Fantastically well done. I've been watching a lot of short form horror recently and this artist really understands the medium. Everything is efficiently chosen with purpose and there is a clear idea of where you want to go and how to get there in such a short time.
These 7 minutes were scarier than every horror movie that has come out this year.
Extremely well done... innovative and creepy with a suffocating sense of dread that builds, and then flashes to a crescendo at the end. Thank you for sharing this fine piece of work.
To me this felt like Dylan making it known that he doesnt need some horrifying creature like in Remains or Portrait of God to scare people and that all he needs is a bedsheet and excellent sound design. Another masterpiece. I cant get enough of this channel.
HOLY SHIT. I'VE BEEN WATCHING HORROR SHORTS IN RUclips SINCE MY TEEN YEARS, AND THIS ONE TAKES THE CAKE. It may not have the emotional heft that others possess, but for what it sets out to do, it did so in a masterful way. I mean from the cinematography to the sound design, to the pacing and the acting, and also it was SOOOOO FREAKING FUN. It might just be my mood right now influencing how much I dig your film, but I am looking forward to more success for your channel and for that feature film. You now have gained a fan from the Philippines.
One of the best horror short I've seen, really well done!!
Serious thumbs up. Very, very nicely done! Special props to Ms. Brumfield for drawing us in.
I just so happened to stumble upon portrait of god a week or so back, after that I almost immediately binged the rest of your catalogue. Def a big fan of your works now!
Having watched all the previous films, I was expecting another creepy-faced creature. So I actually love the subversion that we never see what's under the red sheet. It's one of those simple but genius ideas, and you guys pulled it off so well! Bravo!
Thank you! We toyed with some ideas about showing just a little more, but the classic less-is-more won out as the scariest version. Glad you dug it!
Wow! Brutal! Packing that much horror content, so well done in 7 minutes!?! Very impressive! That 7 minutes was better than a lot of horror movies I've seen that are around 2 hours.
The man doesn't miss. Nice one Dylan!
