This was very well done. I am extremely impressed with the 1940s aesthetic: Font, film grain, music, etc. This is honestly one of the best Lovecraft independent short films that I have seen.
Thanks a lot! Happy that you like it!
Sounds interesting that in Costa Rica is a great number of lovecraft's fans!
The ministery of education put some tales as part of the obligatory reading program in the high school!
Very true to the spirit of lovecrafts work. Also better than anything Hollywood is currently putting out. Well done.
Thanks a lot! Happy that you like it! :)
Nicely done! Lovecraft rarely gets updated, and war/horror is rare itself. I am impressed by how authentic their gear was.
Thanks for watching!
The Phillip Glass soundtrack is very effective to carry the tension of the plot.
this is why youtube is garbage. gems like this fall under the radar.
Great effort, very professional. My only criticism is that the dialogue is often difficult to understand due to the actors heavy accents and music and sound effects being too loud.
Angrypossums X I'm glad that you like it. Yeah, I'm totally agree with your criticism, our accents are strong. Probably I will make another version with english subtitles to solve this issue and everything will be more understandable. Also I will put down music and SFX to the voices are more clear.
Thanks for watch it! :)
Neffer Atta Thank you so much! Yeah, the music was get from classic horror films with expired royalties. We didn't had a composer at that time. But now our team is growing up, so we will have new OST for our works. Thank you for watching! Any feedback is welcome! :)
I agree, I did not find the accents to be the real problem. At first, it was a little jarring hearing a bunch of dog-face American soldiers with the thick accents, but after a few minutes you get used to it. I really loved the classic pulp horror/sci-fi music at the beginning and end, as it really added to the style. But I would ditch the music all-together during the film, except in a few moments where the tension reaches a climax. But I enjoyed the film. I would look forward to an updated version.
Dub it.
Roberto Julio Alamo. You're fired,
My first time seeing this. I like the production value and the black and white look. I do like the attempt to use English even if it wasn't the team's first language. However, I think it would have been fine in Spanish too with English subtitles. A good effort overall. 👌👍
Great short. Very enjoyable. I lovd the vision of the project abd the build up.
More money for effects would make it amazing
The Phillip Glass score for Dracula was a really nice call.
what a wonderful soundtrack. amazing.
This was great. It was like finding a lost episode of the twilight zone (one of the really good kind), which is one of my favorite shows ever. The photography, the story, the mood, everything was great. Great work and thank you.
Thank you! Happy that you like it!
Imagine a day when Fred visits the library and brings home some strange old books to
share with friends in the neighborhood.
Nicely done! a good effort was put into this one, cheers!
Thanks! Glad that you like it!
Great work Roberto!!! You are amazing!!! You do it all!! Congrats!!!
John Rhyman Thank you so much John!! I´m glad that you like it! :D
Cinematography is great.
Very Achtung! Cthulhu. Felicitaciones que les ha quedao fino
Lolz! I recognize those sounds at 13:30! They're from the cultists in an FPS game called Blood from 1997, aren't they?!
Siperos hahahaha yeah! Always loved this game 😊
Yep, exactly! ruclips.net/video/kHlJOMjon4Y/видео.htmlm6s :)
I loved blood to the choose. What a game
That game was great fun
This was just gold.
Thanks!
That facial change was great. And teeth in the 2mouths!!wow
Very well done! My only request would be the option of subtitles for those who are hearing impaired. Great work all around!
Thanks a lot! happy that you like it!
I´ll add the subtitles
@@Rolls3D Thanks!
EXCELLENT ✍️🎥🎟️😆
¡Trabajo increíble! Bien hecho - Lovecraft sería contento.
Muchas gracias!! Me alegro de que lo hayas disfrutado!
Although some of the CGI effects just look corny and out of place, and the narrator's accent is just plain weird this has an interesting concept....fuse Lovecraftian horror with the style of a classic WWII movie.
Amazing
Wow 😲
Brutal el final. Enhorabuena!!
Ruben Garcia Gracias!! Me alegro de que te guste :)
Oh Lovecraft. You know what you did with that title.
Ooh! Phillip Glass' score for "Dracula"! GOOD choice!
Thanks! 😊👍
Awesome stuff.
Thanks for watching, Austin! Happy that you like it
Absolutely outstanding video many thanks
Thanks for watching! :)
@@Rolls3D 😎👍🏻
Nice work!
Thanks!
Love the Universal music.
Darn those pesky Yermans! Kidding aside, very atmospheric. Well done, but the sound FX overcame the dialogue at times. Lookin' good, Shub! Lookin' good!
What a great effort! I find the use of b & w filming to add to the ambiance of the subject matter. Thank you for delving into the Mythos and using other beasties than Cthulhu. That's a welcome change. As a VERY long time fan of HPL (I discovered him when I was 12) I'm a senior now; I can tell you that I have seen big budget attempts that failed. And as someone who has also been a production assistant on an indie film; you did a great job. The special effects are different enough as to make this seem otherworldly - especially enjoyed the transformation of the facial features. The murder was a bit chilling since it was accomplished so dispassionately by the cultists and the inertness of the witnesses! I understood that they were in shock, but became angry at them (as soldiers) for not stopping it. Of course, there wouldn't have been a film if she hadn't been sacrificed.
Overall, very well done. I look forward to your further interpretation of the Master. And would echo kudos to the school system that incorporates classics in their reading curriculum. To all those willing to provide negative comments - have YOU ever financed, scripted, acted, been the boom man, modulated the sound or created special effects for a film? No, then don't complain.
Thank you so much for your words! It's always a reward the appreciation of a true Lovecraft fan.
Also is great to have the understanding of someone that share the experience making a film without very much budget :)
Right now we are preparing another works based on Lovecraft works. We'll take a while to complete it tho, we still at the preproduction stage, but we will upload it here when we are done.
@@Rolls3D You are very welcome for my reply. And that's fantastic that you will be tacking HPL's canon; I will certainly look forward to viewing it. Best of luck in the making of it, I hope all goes as planned.
Real good the Blak n Wyte contrast was pretty cool some parts felt rush or out of place example when soldiers run an all the hieroglyphs a symbols are in just one room each has a different Eaon connected to it. Also the German suicide soldier didn't have expression of Madness HOPE you make more LOVECRAFT inspired Movies LOVE the Intro of VOOR PRODUCTIONS N MADE WITH MEGAVISION MUSIK INTRO...SALUD
Thanks for watching! Yeah, some parts was rush, everything was recorded in three days. We will continue shooting new Lovecraftian shorts soon :)
@@Rolls3D Amazing 3 days, good quality can't wait to see more projects...
I love it, just hard to understand the accent and SFX makes it a bit harder... Please try to add Subtitles.. Awesome stuff!
Thanks for watching! We will add subtitles :)
Brilliant
Thanks!
brillinat!
Thank you! :) we are happy that you like it!
great work
Thanks!
very good...
Thanks!
I love it
nice.
Hahahaha. This was amazing and hilarious.
We are glad that you like it! :)
No closed captions for this a shame some people depend on them to enjoy it.
What countryside was that filmed in? ❤ it
Thanks Susan!
It was filmed in the countryside of Castilla la Mancha, a province of Spain.
Glad that you liked it :)
That is not dead which can eternal lie...
...and with strange aeons even death may die
Is this based on a particular book?
No, it's an original story based on the Lovecraft tales, but not based on a book
VooR Productions, I would like to use this short in a podcast if you are willing to give me permission.
Hello Duke! Yeah, no problem. As long VooR Productions is credited, you can show our videos in your podcast.
Let us know when you release it!
@@Rolls3D Thank you so much I will let you know.
@@ichgobankia that's great! 👍
Awsom made only sad that i couldn hear most of it
Yeah, next time we will improve the sound. Glad that you like it :)
Name of the song at the ending??
It’s part of Mozart’s Requiem.
@@-0rbital- thank you
the infinity 👍
Loved it, some old school visuals but I enjoyed it. Thanks
Thanks! I'm glad that you like it! :)
I came here after playing south park the fractured but whole.😅
Hmm, I found myself skipping through until the Shub Niggurath appeared, it was...
Too many self-made HP Lovecraft adaptations miss the mark; this is another, sorry.
Great cinematography! Really impressive.
Great choice of location too - worked great.
Good rythm - things kept moving along very well.
Great ending, with just the right suggestibility, not too explicit.
Less great: the bit where the soldiers just watch the cultists do their deed, while being armed and perfectly able to kill all 6 people. Why? Doesn't really work.
The cgi: not good really, and also pretty unnecessary - you could have achieved great effects without it - your technique is good enough for it.
The Shub-Niggurath monster was kinda more cute than anything. As a viewer, I couldn't connect to why seeing it should drive a man mad...
I would try to rework this sequence, in a darker environment (not broad daylight), putting more of an accent on the soldier's reaction.
All round an impressive piece of work🤗👏👏. Did not expect this quality. Thank you!
Thanks a lot, appreciate your review. Yeah some things was done such in a hurry, so the final result was affected.
I don´t think we re-edit this shortfilm, but we will work in some other lovecraftian shorts with this style but much refined :)
@@Rolls3D Wow, thanks for your response!
I can imagine that producing a whole movie means taking care of A LOT of stuff...
Will be looking forward to your other Lovecraft-inspired work.
Interesting 😚
thanks!
What an imagination ... all those mouths ... who would of thought to create this nasty beast but the one and only! ❤️
I love a happy ending.
hahahaha glad that you like it
Look who is watching now in 2018!.
Daimonomicon Saitanomicon me
I am
Nope. 2019.
Can't we have a sub version, please?
Sure, I will do one :) thanks for your interest
Are you italian? I have a version with Spanish subtitles, probably you will understand it if you are from Italy.
ruclips.net/video/gxw-ejbabXk/видео.html
Anyway I will be working in one version with English subs :)
Spanish is perfect! Thank you very much!
Luca Varinelli Great! Happy that it works for you :)
Thats RAYCIST
???
Neat
Thanks! we are glad that you like it!
Sorry for the delayed response, this was well-made. My favorite scene was the soldier running out and upon seeing such a horrible monstrosity, kills himself. The bleak ending accurately depicts the Lovecraftain narrative of the character going into despair, I think HP would like this.
Hi Shane! Thanks for your words, we really appreciate it. We are so happy that you like it. We really hope HP would like it! Thanks for watching! :)
la opcion de subtitulos habria sido de ayuda
This is nice, I like it. But what does the soldier say at 11:26? Why do they wait for the cultists to kill the girl?
I'm happy that you like it! :) yeah, about that, the idea of the script was that they was expecting that more germans arrive to the area, but instead they found this strange cult, so they are in shock during the sacrifice, barely believing what they are observing. Maybe that part of the script is not totally well expressed at that point.
It doesn't really matter. The film leaves a lot to imagination anyway. Many people complain about the accents. However, especially in times before WW2, many Europeans escaped to the USA in fear of Franco or the Germans. So it makes sense that US soldiers have a Spanish accent. Others complain about the way you write Subb Niggurath but Lovecraft's work is always subject to change and people who continue to tell stories in his universe may use and change names freely. I also like the music, I don't think the spirit of the film will remain the same with an original score.
Thanks! I appreciate your words! :) You are totally right about the soldiers, there was some units composed only by Spanish soldiers wearing all the US equipment that the US army provided them.
We was working in several shorts during these years. I invite you to visit our films channel if you are interested to watch more: ruclips.net/channel/UCg6V_f21CxtbLyr8Y_KGKxg
We didn´t continue doing lovecraftian films lately, but we want to come back to it soon :)
Thanks for watching and for comment!
Add subtitles, the sound effects are too loud. Great work, tho
I really hope this was supposed to be bad.
Subtitulado
0:33
Sounds like that music from "Batman Beggins" and "The Dark Night Rising". Am I the only one who has noticed it ?
hahaha it's not from Batman. Thanks for watching!
Why do these French soldiers have American flags on their uniforms?
They're also backwards.
Good try.
Were the fak is da captin
Yeah.. I'll come back when there's subtitles.
Ware zee fuk iz dee captin...
The dialogue was hilarious.
My only criticism is the music, I didn’t like it. It played the whole time it was distracting.
This gotta somehow be racist
??
@@Rolls3D It's no secret to anyone who knows anything about HP Lovecraft that, at least for a significant portion of his life, he held some pretty strong racist views toward black people....it is what it is. It Doesn't necessarily take away from his work and influence on the genre, but the title 'Subb Niggurath' comes off a bit suspect....at first glance anyway.
As for the film itself, it's pretty decent.
"An picture"? that does not sound like proper English.
"Copyleft MCXXMLVII" oki so the title cards are parodies.
MCXXMLVII is not proper Roman numeral order.
Oh man! That was too funny.
And stupid!
Come on... French speaking American Soldiers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
