the second story did a phenomenal job of displaying how most women feel on public transport alone. All of these stories are fantastic, and those involved should be proud of their work.
Being a man, who frequently uses public transport alone, I can tell you, it's not just women who feel that way. When there are plenty of seats available, please keep your distance, stranger.
@@adcoleman3624 I think maybe my comment was a bit easy to misunderstand. I don't have a problem with strangers sitting next to me, when there are lots of other people around. If, however, it is just me and the stranger and there are no witnesses present, I grow wary. Particularly, if the other person, for no apparent good reason, decides to sit right next to me (as displayed in the film), when there are plenty of other seats available.
That first story was true horror. I am a poker playing woman from southern California, and I will BET MY HAND that any actor who has thought they made it yet couldn't keep it has said/felt/did the same as actor did. Age, time, and gravity are not your friends in the acting world...😵💫
Wow these are amazing. the LVRS one especially struck a personal chord with me (all those red warning flags that a woman can choose, or be manipulated, to ignore in an abusive relationship) and it played on my mind for ages
'Conventional,' is my favourite short horror film. Thanks for a phenomenal anthology. As a female who hopes to produce horror films, the range of talent on display here, is so inspiring and motivating. Thank you.
@@sakellarioudimitris7439 Birdie was depressing to me, cause that's what's it's honestly like on a train alone. The Herd, now that epitomizes horror. Real horror that trafficked women actually go through. 😟 Considering donating to a charity of trafficked Women or children.
I actually cried watching the herd, afterwards I was in so much rage and anger.... Sometimes some alter films just trigger me. 😂😂😂 But as always, magnificent!!!!! ❤❤❤
*Me:* 'Why the heck am I watching this at night, in the dark, by myself??' *Also me:* 'I'm just gonna draw and put headphones on to this, these are incredible!" XD
same, except the headphones are a good idea, some shorts are way louder than others, I fell asleep with the playlist running and woke to knarley monster sounds somehow in my groggy 4am stuper I though I saw somthing coming at me and slapped my laptop off my bed table... I'm probley the exception to the rule but my dirty clouths pile saved me hundreds.
I've seen all of these separately, and Conventional and Lovers are truly outstanding, with Lovers being my favourite. I won't get into the insidious ways abusers shape their victims, but the beautiful, haunting, and overall horriffic portrayal of this is just...wow. Truly standout.
... I don't get lovers. I get what you're saying it is because of abusers shaping their victims, but the kid in it makes no sense to me and we're never seeing him, just a reflection of her original self. I don't understand it. What am I missing with the kid and the reflection of her original self?
@Panda Funkey - I get that he's hurting her and shaping her into something monstrous - yet she doesn't see this because he's so good at manipulation, at showing her what she WANTS to see that she can't recognize herself for what she IS now. She still sees herself as she was in the beginning, with none of the 'battle scars' and signs of obvious loss. The boy I see as mostly just an aspect of the man that has never grown up (a hurt little boy hurts others). This part of the man warns her even as he maims her; he is both the perpetrator of the horror *and* genuinely horrified at his own actions. The boy could also be the 'spector' of a child the couple could have had, trying desperately to warn his 'mother' of her impending doom. So there are several ways of reading this, and I believe the creator wanted everyone's interpretations to be correct. Make more sense?
@@katw.6519 okay, now I understand what they're saying.... I've never seen or heard of any guy who is dumb enough to be an abusive person but clever enough to be good at manipulating how someone thinks they are. That said, I know people that evil do exist and am very happy I've never had any personal awareness of any specific individual who was able to do that. I still don't see how either interpretation of the boy is applicable, but I guess it's just because I never knew any little boys when I was one who just hurt people in such horrid ways just to hurt people. it was always emotional abuse and not some kind of physical torture. hmmm.... maybe the boy is her memories of some childhood version of her abuser and they grew up together? maybe her seeing and/or pointing him out is her reminding him of when they and more specifically he was a kid and he takes any reference to his "weak" childhood self as an attempt to disgrace and shame him? He acts like he thinks himself some kind of artist if you look at how he moves when torturing her so it may be he sees himself and so having an intolerant ego wouldn't necessarily be out of the question. In that line of thought with how the walls are all recordings being projected upon them in a lot of scenes, perhaps he's a failing amateur filmmaker taking out his failures on the woman whenever she reminds him of a past self (like his childhood) he views as weaker than the "artistic titan" he may seek to be?
@Panda Funkey , your ideas of the boy as a younger version of the man, and the man as an artist are very interesting! I don't believe anyone is wrong; I think we all take from it what makes the most sense to us. In psychology and psychoanalysis, many times the child figure often represents a being without 'sin,' an innocent. We also know that most killers and rapists have a personal history of childhood abuse as well. These are some of the main reasons I find that the child is a facet of the man who is horrified of the abuse and wants to help. I've definitely seen children who are abused at home, go to school, and bully others physically, mentally, or both. They grow up twisted and are able to show people exactly what they want to see - in themselves and in others. Clever and manipulative are not always the same thing.
@@katw.6519 true, though I've never known a manipulative individual who didn't know how to manipulate whoever and WEREN'T well aware they were manipulating someone and it was wrong.
Herd me cry because of the child that they killed I felt bad for the mothers that were used for their milk for the youth products and the last one I know what it felt like to be abused in relationships and especially in one marriage I was in luckily I I got out immediately because of issues mental and led to physical violence all in other words very good job films
woman and mirror man perfect example of narc victim relationships the shared fantasy the falling in Love with self and the truth of destruction. marvelous work
AMEN. I caught that from the very beginning. The whole "SEE Its YOUR FAULT I am taking THIS away from you & YOU should be HAPPY & APPRECIATIVE of what I TOOK UPON MYSELF TO GIVE YOU IN ITS PLACE, BTW YOU OWE ME FOR EVERY LAST THING I HAVE AFFORDED YOU". They keep with the plan until here is NOTHING of YOU LEFT and WHAT you do have is what they have ALLOWED you to hold...then once they have DESTROYED YOU COMPLETELY AND WHAT THEY SHAPED YOU INTO IS NOT WHAT THEY WANT SO THEY LEAVE YOU LAYING THERE BROKEN WITHOUT THE MEANS AND UNABLE TO REMEMBER HOW TO PICK YOURSELF UP AND RECOVER. I lived that b.s. for over 6 years. He had the nerve to say he "wanted his wife back, the woman he married". I told him "I MISSED ME TOO". "He must not have wanted or loved the woman he married THAT DAMN MUCH since he went out of his way to make sure the person I USED TO BE WAS DEAD. And how can he say that he DIDN'T LOVE ME ANYMORE AFTER MAKING ME THE WAY HE WANTED...that HE MADE THIS MONSTER." And "that you can't get mad about something YOU DID TO YOURSELF".
I was confused at first when I was watching Conventional because I thought I was either watching the wrong thing (because it was in the Anthology Fun Size Horror) but when I started watching Birdie the realization hit me that this is an anthology of bits and pieces of other anthologies. Great Picks too.Thank you for this.
Karen Gillian is one of my favorite actresses from *_Doctor Who_* , but in the short film _Conventional_ she really showed her chops playing out psychological torture and horror.
My first time seeing her, I noticed she wrote and directed, and thought I'd made a discovery, seems like I hurd dr who before, so i'm guessing some of these are established actors side projects, I know I saw one of the agents from odd squad (PBSkIds show with math misterys) on one too
The herd lends a new meaning to "horror!" Yes, disturbing indeed. Quite moving, it is, and very well done! I felt like I had watched a feature length film!
I developed a whole new appreciation for Karen Gillan! The first time I saw her was in Doctor Who, and it was so much fun watching her. Oculus didn’t really give her a way to shine (imo), but I love love _love_ watching her in Jumanji (guilty pleasure🤫). She is an unquestionably beautiful woman that successfully plays quirky, cute yet thoughtful characters with no problem. Although I’ve seen her in horror (Oculus), watching her in _”Conventional”_ (and knowing she wrote and directed it) gave me a whole new respect of her! The emotion and commentary behind the writing, the pain in the character... The scene with the hand sanitizer in the bathroom?! Wow! I literally shuddered; my body and mind both cringed. This entire thing was unlike anything I’d expect from her, and I can’t believe I didn’t fully recognize how talented she truly is before. In my opinion, the very best actors are those that have a range, the ones that succeed beyond a specific character and genre. Although I fully enjoyed her smart bubbly characters (and adore dear Amy Pond ❤️), I clearly underestimated her talent. I’m going to take a closer look at her films to see what else I’m missing! And yes, I know it was just approximately 10 minutes, but in my personal experience, it is harder to write an amazing short story than a good novel. You have less words to accomplish what is necessary. You need to word things just so; you need to know exactly what to say, where to say it, where it put it, how to word it. There can be no mistakes. There is no room for error, no room for a single unnecessary word. You have a paragraph to provide the reader with the protagonist’s emotions and conflict that would usually take pages to explain. Writing an *excellent* short story takes true talent.
In Lovers I can only guess that her reflection is how happy he was able to make her maybe at the highest point of the relationship. She's no longer looking at him or his actions presently but how he was able to make her feel. I was so happy once/before, I can still be that happy, we can be that happy again, he's the one that made me that happy before. He hurts her and the gestures are so grand when he "makes up" for it. I don't know if that boy is their son but if it is I think at the end the mirror is then a reflection of the abuse he's witnessed and could now manifest in him
The Herd is amazing Melanie. Saw it a couple of years ago. Hard to forget, great to rewatch & nearly as disturbing second time around. Uncompromising & uncomfortable, razor sharp & hard hitting. Everything that horror should be. If it was a feature film , I imagine it would run the risk of heavy censorship or even banning. Great work! Do you have other films?
I effing LOVE KAREN GILLAN! (The first short character). I loved her in the movie called GUNPOWDER MILKSHAKE, where Queen Cersei (GoT) plays her mother 😅 I love that she does funny characters. There’s another short film with her in it I just watched earlier today.
@@xijinping1189 yeah that end blerb is an attack on the dairy industry. Nords must drink milk to live. IF the mongrals of the world want to drink NutJuice thats fine, but if they are EVER precived as a true threat to Milk production they'd be done by days end. and trust that we believe those cows "horrific suffering" as they call it, is a life of ease and comfort in our eyes... they don't know the tree theyér shaking.
@@xijinping1189 there is definitely more than one interpretation! but your last comment posted is about how girls wearing gymnastics leotards are inherently sexual.. so i see why those other metaphors went over your head!
It's basically about the day-to-day fearful experiences faced by women at public places, how the roadside romeos take it as an excuse to bother them, just because she smiled a bit while looking at them.
@@dustinmcclure3487 ever given one single thought as to WHY it would be triggering in the first place? No, I guess that would involve actually having the ability to think.
Each one outstanding. Herd freaked me out, tho the end was unnecessary. Leave it open as we can read many things into it. LVRS blew me away. The imagery told us all we needed to know viscerally.
I don't know, but in Russia if smbody behave with woman like at 2nd movie, he will be kicked assed very quickly by Russian woman. No way she will tolerate such disrespect
I Knew that was Karen Gillian playing the lead in the first one, the voice and hair and beauty clearly showed through the fake lips, I also swear I thought I saw the one who played Rose on Doctor Who in a movie short!! Gary Bailey 💚🗾🇦🇮🍀🐉❣️🌹
Karen GILLAN is one of my favorite actresses. I love how she takes parts like these that are humorous and a little dark. 😊Also hilarious is how they gave her these huge inflated lips, because it’s exactly the type of actress she plays in the short that ends up getting those disgustingly huge fake lips. The insecurity in women like that is sadly palpable.
Supposed to portray the everyday fear of women in situations of travelling alone. Its basically all about the "What do they want from me?", the struggle between staying polite and hoping they just back off, or maybe finding your voice and defending yourself. The only thing she did was look at a guy and smile, which she did to be polite - though some men tend to over-interpret that. Him and his friend keep on looking in her direction, talking to themselves, makes her feel like they are plotting something, anything. When they get on the same train, they corner her. At first one stands at the entrance, the other one comes from the other side. Its in public transport but due to how little people she is in the section with, this pincer-attack kind of approach is 100% shady. Obviously, him coming closer and sitting next to her makes her feel like a cornered animal. In the end its just a "prank" and he gives her a sniff before leaving, taunting her with his friend through the window, clearly aware of how terrified she was. She screams "NO!" in the end when the next man tries to sit next to her, because all the pent up stress and fear just makes it burst out. Sure sounds stupid when I write it up like that but definitely a very real scenario. Many of these scenarios arent just pranks but end up in robbery, kidnapping and worse.
If there is anyone who can tell me what that short film is called with humans being caged like animals for their milk and meat, please let me know to share awareness that this is what the slaughter and dairy industry is all about? Thanks in advance.

People are reporting this shit like bro are you even listening, have you seen the warnings?
Really? LMBO! Why are they even here? It's HORROR short film(s) if they want "The Wind In The Willows" or "Toy Story" don't click on ALTER! 🤷🏻🙂↔️
Waiting
When only actual women feel the horror of the 2nd one...
Sadly true!! It had my stomach twisted into a horrible knot!! Omg!!
@@Kamilahsanders2006 the fear was poignant!!!
sexist comment, who's triggered? 😁
@@dustinmcclure3487 ever given one single thought as to WHY it would be triggering in the first place? No, I guess that would involve actually having the ability to think.
@@dustinmcclure3487 notice how no one is triggered...

I developed a whole new respect for
The herd,was intense and make me jump few times,so sad.
Each one outstanding. Herd freaked me out, tho the end was unnecessary. Leave it open as we can read many things into it. LVRS blew me away. The imagery told us all we needed to know viscerally.
The first story is the girl from Jumanji and the first dude with the axe is the arcade guy from Stranger Things!!!
That was just the meat industry in reverse.
Strange seeing Pollyanna McIntosh in "The Herd" as the baddie ... she is usually the badass.
Her biggest fan alright. Jumbled them insides. Lol
I don't know, but in Russia if smbody behave with woman like at 2nd movie, he will be kicked assed very quickly by Russian woman. No way she will tolerate such disrespect
Nice
The Herd had me so furious at those captors, I was ready to go to war with them on my own!!! Gary Bailey 🌹❣️🐉🍀🇦🇮🗾💚
The secon one about horror actress made my skin crawl no lie its been a long time
Conventional, that damn black guy stole the first scene 🤣🤣
6:50 her lips.... Why....
Today’s societal beauty standards just to fit in.
❤
The 2nd one Herd was super creepy!
WOW!
I Knew that was Karen Gillian playing the lead in the first one, the voice and hair and beauty clearly showed through the fake lips, I also swear I thought I saw the one who played Rose on Doctor Who in a movie short!! Gary Bailey 💚🗾🇦🇮🍀🐉❣️🌹
Karen GILLAN is one of my favorite actresses. I love how she takes parts like these that are humorous and a little dark. 😊Also hilarious is how they gave her these huge inflated lips, because it’s exactly the type of actress she plays in the short that ends up getting those disgustingly huge fake lips. The insecurity in women like that is sadly palpable.
Nice act first one
The last one LVRS was so good I couldn't look as he was cutting her up! 🔪 🩸
LOVERS??? WTF!!! HUH??? Somebody please explain???
❣❣❣🌹🌹PAZ PAZ PARA EL MUNDO!!! OREMOS A DIOS, QUE ASÍ SEA🌍🕊🕊🕊
Do're so good short films❤
Birdie???
Let's check it out
these were all pretty good...i just dont get what they mean
🙄
You know what else is good is the movie leopard heels
Is she the jumanji actor?
all hard to watch all differing fear's but the herd really got to me why cant they make a film using men as the lab rat ? The Lovers was brutal
The third story confirms we all should eat more meat!
Sad, as this is already reality for farmed animals.chilling
I don’t get the second one..?
I understood but don't know how to explain , bcz I can only feel the fear ,fear of something bad
2nd one was so scary , it make me uncomfortable
Supposed to portray the everyday fear of women in situations of travelling alone. Its basically all about the "What do they want from me?", the struggle between staying polite and hoping they just back off, or maybe finding your voice and defending yourself. The only thing she did was look at a guy and smile, which she did to be polite - though some men tend to over-interpret that. Him and his friend keep on looking in her direction, talking to themselves, makes her feel like they are plotting something, anything. When they get on the same train, they corner her. At first one stands at the entrance, the other one comes from the other side.
Its in public transport but due to how little people she is in the section with, this pincer-attack kind of approach is 100% shady. Obviously, him coming closer and sitting next to her makes her feel like a cornered animal. In the end its just a "prank" and he gives her a sniff before leaving, taunting her with his friend through the window, clearly aware of how terrified she was. She screams "NO!" in the end when the next man tries to sit next to her, because all the pent up stress and fear just makes it burst out.
Sure sounds stupid when I write it up like that but definitely a very real scenario. Many of these scenarios arent just pranks but end up in robbery, kidnapping and worse.
If there is anyone who can tell me what that short film is called with humans being caged like animals for their milk and meat, please let me know to share awareness that this is what the slaughter and dairy industry is all about? Thanks in
advance.
The Herd
The third one had me wondering if it was post apocalyptic and food was scarce or something. But no. It was for some hand cream.
First!
The Herd was so disturbing but sadly it is a reality for many cows.... I wish animals were treated with respect and humanity..
"Milk of life" Yeap Humans true monsters of all living creatured❤
I see you but you don't see me😱 the next horror movie please 😱👍
Psychothriller 👍
