I think Monica made a deal to disappear in Bryce's life & be with her own dreams in Hollywood which James would rather like than having her with Bryce.Bryce on the other hand did made a deal to erase what happens, of a crime. The nerdy James was just like playing a merry go 'round w/ them & each of their personal desires that would benefits their own. The trick starts when he blows a smoke🚬
My opinion: Monica made a deal to leave with James. The fight was an illusion so Bryce would make a deal to forget. Remember how eager she is to get to the party?
That is a good insight. However I don't think the writer of the movie assumed that everyone would think that deep. It's just too cunning for the average folk. I'm sticking with Monica being dead.
This was fantastic! I don't think that James is the literal devil! I say that because Bryce was telling Hector and the other guy "didn't you used to beat the shit out of him in High school?" The devil is not gonna let you bully him period!! I believe that James started dabbling into the occult. He was already known for doing magic tricks, which he probably learned so that people would like him. He tapped into something or contacted a supernatural force! He made a deal himself! What would James want?..He would want to be the person that everyone goes to for help after being invisible to his classmates. Since he was bullied and beaten he would also not want to be hurt, which is why Bryce hitting him with crutches to his back and face did nothing. In order for James to enjoy his newfound powers he has to collect souls. James is pretty much a Crossroads demon. (Supernatural analogy) Monica was moving to LA to pursue her dream of being an actress but ended up staying with Bryce because of his "accident" ,which was caused by James so that Hector could get his wish to play in front of the scouts. He killed 2 birds with 1 stone. He wanted Monica for himself and they made a deal which was going to be consummated in the bedroom when Bryce walked in. Everyone in that party has already made a deal with James, who now owns them. They have no choice but to do what he wants. That explains why Hector had to put a cigarette into his eye at James command. Which probably wasn't the first time. As for Bryce, in order for Monica's death to not be on his hands, James makes him forget all about her. What does Monica get out of all this? Not sure. Maybe she stays dead or now that Bryce has forgotten about her she can now go to LA and James will collect the debt later after her possible resurrection. Anyway I really enjoyed this and if anyone feels differently about my comment I have no problems with constructive feedback 🙂
I got the feeling they were all people who had made a deal with James. Remember the scene where he coughed twice and everyone left the room.. there were a couple little instances such as that throughout
Yes! I mentioned in my comment 3:21 to 3:33 was my favourite timestamp. This is because he make sthose sounds and they just obey walking out and Monica is oblivious but we see how off everyone is
Amen. 💯 Scary thing is....people don't believe this most of the time. For some reason I've many dreams about hell that felt too real and we're unlike any other dreams I've ever had. I awake crying and praying for my soul and others to never go to hell. We have hope no matter what when we r on earth but afterwards ..there is no begging or pleasing or repenting from what we thought was....a lie. Desperation from God,who is love ...is...the worse...existence ever forever and ever without one single molecule or anything good. It's real. I hate it....but hell is real. The Holy spirit of God reaches out to us on multiple occasions .he knocks softly on out hearts...and is there for us in our tragedies......answer his light knocking, your life will change. ❤️

@@vladdracul5072 You hate flattery comments cause no one said anything good about you as you've done nothing in life except hatred.

Cigarette neuro nano technology? Lol ur too funny🤦🤣 Time travel and erases their minds with some sort of "magic" persay. I think the cigarette is relative really. It's symbolism but I don't think it holds too much significance. He took a cigarette out of a bottle and smoked it in the beginning. She said cool trick, but I don't think it was anything really.
Brilliant but I can't help wonder how much James twisted the deal with Bryce, Bryce doesn't seem the type who would walk out and make it go away. I believe he would have faced up to the accident - he already lost his promising sports career so what else did he have to lose after the death of his gf? I think he loved her enough to admit responsibility
Yea he said the deal made him Forget about Monica but when he left the bedroom the first time he was literally asking everyone where is Monica where is Monica that’s not a person who forgot who she was he didn’t forget into the end James tricked him
My theory is that the magician kid had previously summoned a demon hoping to become great. But he ended up having to pay the piper, as one invariably does when making deals with devils and demons, and the demon is now at play in our realm via the medium of a bespectacled nerd.
No, he's not Satan. He was just bullied as a kid, and turned to magic as an escape. And because of that he learned it so well that he was actually able to do real magic.
So far, I can say, This is now on my top favorite. Beginning to the end. Well played. Horrifying plot and tricky at the same time. Kudos to the team behind this short film.
Clearly everyone here made a deal with that nerd to get something that they always wanted to be or have.... And by the end we see even Bryce makes a deal with him but what everyone missed is even Monica made a deal with that guy (try seeing the kitchen conversation again and you'll get it...) Loved the short. 🙂
@@alimunnaharsetu9415 she made a deal with him to go to Los Angeles & be a movie star. That’s what she was doing in the bed room, was I assume paying her debt. Bryce walked in and caught them killing Monica. I think James wanted Monica got himself, but when Bryce killed her he instead makes a deal with Bryce.
I'm a little confused. When they get to the party, everyone knows Monica but during the party nobody knew her. So did Bryce make the deal to forget about her? If Bryce walks out, it's like the situation never happened or Monica never existed.
When he said “what did you do with her?” And the guy with the glasses said “me? Maybe you should be asking yourself that question “ And we all saw what happened his girl and 4eyes were making out and he pulled her away and they both fell and it resulted in her death so basically it was 4eyes fault because he planned on it happening knowing that would be the end result even though he physically has nothing to do with it he is the reason she is dead so yea he did do something to her and it as a result of his actions what a jerk lol
I’m thinking that Monica was in James’ bedroom because she made a deal with him - she obviously had regrets that she gave up on her dreams to take care of Bryce. It was clear James wanted Monica from the get-go; perhaps Bryce was to be the forgotten one originally and Monica had to agree to be with James but then the accident happened. Here’s my overthinking it - they wouldn’t have been at the party at all if Bryce hadn’t had the car accident. And if James had a long time obsession with Monica, having them invited to the party was an ideal set up for him to get her. But then Bryce had to go and spoil it for him ( /s). Side note: Odd choice that James’ wielded his trick/power/deal via a cigarette- but it worked.
Pretty much what I was thinking too. The party was a set up from the jump. His sole purpose was to get to his long time crush Monica, and make her his woman, and erase Bryces memories of Monica. Notice how when Bryce was roughing Monica up in the bedroom. James just sat on the bed and watched the whole thing unfold, because he already knew what was about to go down. Thus giving him the perfect opportunity to finally get what he wants the most.
So they both made a deal with (what it seems) the devil. Monica wanted out of the relationship, only way she could do this was by making the deal with James for her to be forgotten in his memory; as if she never existed and Bryce with taking back what he did to Monica which lead to her death and of course, even Hector with obviously becoming the one that starts the game in front of the scouts which in turn meant that Bryce had to be in an accident to stop him from playing. I'm assuming Monica made her deal first then Bryce. Anyhow this was amazing! Mind-bending. This is what makes psychological horrors so interesting to watch!
I think the magician thing is his schtick to cover a darker purpose. I don’t believe that he has actually caused any of the good or bad things that have happened to his former acquaintances, but rather that he is a mentalist/hypnotist with an extraordinary ability to manipulate the human mind. He doesn’t have to have caused Bruce’s accident to be able to insert a memory into Hector’s mind that they had a conversation about it beforehand. He may have planted thoughts that the success of the diet and exercise the formerly overweight girl had done by herself was actually caused by his intervention. Sometimes people who are on the social periphery at school have no choice but to observe what is happening from the sidelines and to see the interconnections of the main players. He just had to get to people at pivotal moments of their lives, when their guards are down. The term “to blow smoke” means “to lie”. (To blow smoke “up someone’s ass” is “to flatter” or “to tell someone what they want to hear”). His use of the cigarette is his cue. The girlfriend had her part to play and she can now ride off into the sunset to pursue her dreams as an actress free from the guilt of leaving a boyfriend who will not remember her. Bryce may not remember her but he will know that he was saved from something bad or maybe get help in ,say, the form of medical bills or an opportunity. It doesn’t matter because he will have loyalty. Darkness at its best. My 2 cents…
Wizard/sorcerer or real Magician. He certainly rose up to higher things. Cool story and would love to see this in movie format. I'd definitely see it, over and over. Thanks and stay safe!
This one was well done! The actors absolutely nailed this, especially James and Bryce! Bravo!!!! Loved this one! Alter, I have to say your short movies are better than most of the blockbusters I have watched...by far!
ALTER is underrated... They need more recognition so people can fund more of their crew's ideas and make it into reality! (In film okay. Not the stories themselves)
Seems like watching evil is playing with someone brain and memory just to save the person from the fear and sad feeling, but there's a consequences for every deal you make in life...
Really good film! Curious as to their backstories and like others said, a longer film or even a prequel would be good. Maybe the nerd guy got involved in the dark arts so that he could get back at them later on. . .
Wow. That was fantastic. Acting superb. Directing, everything was great. I really got caught up emotionally with characters. All your efforts paid off. Kudos!
A lot of people here are saying not to mess with the devil. And while that is always very good advice, there is one that is just as important: Do not mess with a nerd. Their acts of revenge are fueled around their incredible intelligence which--unless you can match their witt--will get you into trouble every single time. 🧐
MAYBE Monica made a deal right before Brad and it was a deal to escape their relationship and to leave their town and history entirely to achieve her dreams in the big city so therefore that is what led to the kiss and Brad “killing her” and therefore forgetting she ever existed.
@@jasondiggs6740 I agree I feel it was no reason for that but at the same time why are you so bothered by it, you can tell you problems don't believe in religion but only what type of person would that bother?

This Alter short was very good, Alexandra Shipp's beauty and acting kept the my attention also the lighting was good, and all the other actors did their jobs very well, this would make a great full length horror movie, the short Left me wanting to see more. than you to all involved in this movie from the writers to the light crew and the actors, thank you for a movie that was worth watching.
Oh wow, that didn't work out the way I expected at all - poor Monica! really sucked for her. Excellent longish short, great acting from the leads. I wonder what James will be wanting from Bryce.
Wow this short really puts a new spin on seeing things through rose coloured glasses. Also, my favourite bit 8n this was the timestamp between 3:21 and 3:33
I've been here now for three days binge watching ALTER , i think i need rehab 🙃🤣🤣 ....i feel like i seen the character "Monica" in another movie. Not sure.
I think Monica made a deal to disappear in Bryce's life & be with her own dreams in Hollywood which James would rather like than having her with Bryce.Bryce on the other hand did made a deal to erase what happens, of a crime.
The nerdy James was just like playing a merry go 'round w/ them & each of their personal desires that would benefits their own.
The trick starts when he blows a smoke🚬
And ended up when James slyly dropped his cigarette and snuffed it out with his foot..
I reckon James made his own deal with the devil...
long enough as it is, everything was covered, we can now move on.
My opinion: Monica made a deal to leave with James. The fight was an illusion so Bryce would make a deal to forget. Remember how eager she is to get to the party?
Oooh u got me spooked with this one! I like this ✨

No matter how hard the circumstances are, never make a deal with the devil. Life is hard but don't take shortcuts because it might lead you to hell.

Right away I realized the guy who played Bryce is Kevin in the Fred movies! Either that or he looks exactly like him.
sooo intriguing!!! loved every moment of it.....especially James!!

Wow. That was fantastic. Acting superb. Directing, everything was great. I really got caught up emotionally with characters. All your efforts paid off. Kudos!
A lot of people here are saying not to mess with the devil. And while that is always very good advice, there is one that is just as important: Do not mess with a nerd. Their acts of revenge are fueled around their incredible intelligence which--unless you can match their witt--will get you into trouble every single time. 🧐
I just fucking love this wow! that nerd seriously is one of the most cunning and manipulative person on earth
Seems James must've dwelved into more than just basic 'magick' and "sold out"😬👹
Well done in all aspects!❣️👏👏👏💐
Stay 'safe', everyone❣️ Blessed be🌜
MAYBE Monica made a deal right before Brad and it was a deal to escape their relationship and to leave their town and history entirely to achieve her dreams in the big city so therefore that is what led to the kiss and Brad “killing her” and therefore forgetting she ever existed.
YESSSSS FINALLY A NEW SHORT FILM. When I saw this I tell you I got so freakin excited!😍✨🖤
Awesome short!!! Keep it up💯💯
I guess I’ll be late for work 🍿
That's what I'm talking about alter!! Keep making films!
Really wish this was a full length film ☺️
We all want to go back and correct our mistakes. Change everything. at some point but that wont make us a better person at all
@@mizscoleman wait ill change my comment now that ive read it i 4got smthng
What have i learned:
Never bully the nerds or weird ones. One never know what kind of twisted plans or revenge plans are crossing their heads xD
This was REALLY good! I love having no idea what's going to happen in a movie, even if i have a suspicion of what's going on.
_Awesome short. Loved it_
Wow, who knew time travelling could be so evil 😀. Great film guys 👍💯
Devil's trick.... Satan makes u fool everytime... We should follow the right path... Believe on God ❤❤❤
Nice try, Satan.
@@jackcristo1628 🤣🤣🤣
Why do people of the Abrahamic faiths have to take every supernatural show seriously instead of enjoying it🤔
@@jasondiggs6740 I agree I feel it was no reason for that but at the same time why are you so bothered by it, you can tell you problems don't believe in religion but only what type of person would that bother?
Religious nonsense. 🤣
ALTER & AZ SOON AZ I saw the cat from IT FOLLOWS😳🤗..I'm like oh DAYUM🙆🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️..here we go🥴😱..XCELLENT everything!!!! All the work in a short..👍🏼👏🏽💯💯💯
Lesson of the day nerds, can be mean and monsters too.
Thanks Alter, nothing like a hump day of learning😜
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
They are just getting justice for the abuse they endured.
She kept pushing him away in the beginning physically. Great short!
This Alter short was very good, Alexandra Shipp's beauty and acting kept the my attention also the lighting was good, and all the other actors did their jobs very well, this would make a great full length horror movie, the short Left me wanting to see more. than you to all involved in this movie from the writers to the light crew and the actors, thank you for a movie that was worth watching.
the devil disguised in a nerd
The best disguise. Most people have this antiquated idea, of horns, and hooves.
A nerd is not threatening. Therefore your guard isn’t activated. 😉
@@raymondweston8997 True. If people think you are a dummy nobody would try to be smart sround you thus you can see what they are doing. My life.
@I love shawarma more than my life The most dangerous person; is the one that you allow to get next to you. The one who knows the most about you.
Oh wow, that didn't work out the way I expected at all - poor Monica! really sucked for her.
Excellent longish short, great acting from the leads. I wonder what James will be wanting from Bryce.
Well done. The acting talent was 1st rate. This flick left room for the viewer to ponder the events. This was a cool take on the Faust pact.
Sooo manipulative...omg beautifully done
James can we make a deal pertaining to my "Monica" 🤣unless you gonna do it🤣🤣
Why do people always want more from these shorts, they are shorts for a reason. Excellent one by the way.
Ohk, I have to ask :- What is/was the inspiration behind this short?
Calling Moon for Monica is so smart! And sweet of course.
This is amazing !!!!
12:34 the devil undoing monica's death by completely erasing her from history is the perfect kinda evil genius that fits his character
This needs to be a movie with these same people, it'd be incredible! !
Wow this short really puts a new spin on seeing things through rose coloured glasses. Also, my favourite bit 8n this was the timestamp between 3:21 and 3:33
Thanks I was waiting for long time 😁
Without a doubt! The best short film I've ever seen... This should be a Full Length Movie 🎥 Where's Siskel & Ebert👍👍
Very good, clean. Would make for a great series
I loved this one reminds me of something that you would see on the twilight zone
I've been here now for three days binge watching ALTER , i think i need rehab 🙃🤣🤣 ....i feel like i seen the character "Monica" in another movie. Not sure.
This is why you need the doom slayer as one of your contacts in your phone
👩🏼...I always wanted to sit with the cool kids...
👦🏻....Um it was just lunch...
😂😭
The guy must be pretty lame if he has to trick people into being his friend.
So, I sort of get the idea that maybe neither Bryce or Monica are actually very nice people. So while it's cruel, it could also be karma.
Well that was more terrifying than any gory horror I've seen. Bravo! Lol
James tricked him into that deal he literally remembered who his girlfriend was until the end he played tf out him
Alter. Always bringing the good stuffs. Loved it.
