      except its NOT horror!
      alter has some of the best short films on youtube. high production values, good acting and writing. but what is it with your obsession of calling every film a horror film? this was an excellent film. (didn't like the ending though.) but its NOT a horror film. this is more in line with fantasy and science fiction.
      only about 20% of alter's shorts that i've seen actually qualifies as horror. but you still label them as such. they're still good films. so why misrepresent them as something they're not? just the name ALTER carries enough weight to get people to watch. so why bait them? just label them correctly and people will STILL watch!

    O.I. = "Original Idea"
    This story works well because the short format doesn't require it to have more than its very basic anatomy. The guy at the bar, the bartender, the businessman who walks in, and Chekhov's gun up there behind the bar.
    If this were much longer than it is, it would have to start answering various questions that would dilute its power. The punch line is also hilarious, where the story ends exactly how the man at the bar feared it would, but with a small wrinkle that keeps him in a state of mystery and uncertainty.

    One of the greatest short films I’ve ever seen, and I mean it. Not only is it one of my new favorites, but that musical score is up there for one of my favorite musical scores in _any_ media. Seriously, it’s perfect.
