@@bellalegendre2644 I always felt exactly the same. When I was a teenager I didn't want to date and get pregnant or have breakup drama.

I think the guy represents an individual stuck in a toxic relationship, and the monster represents the toxic individual. The girl represents people that he loves, like friends and family, and the monster eats these people because it wants the guy for itself. It's pretty common in toxic relationships to isolate the partner and make them feel as if only they can love them. The ice cream thing represents the idea of, although the monster is exceptionally toxic, they still do feel love; the problem is that they don't know how to properly express love. The girl and guy's relationship also represents that you have two options in a toxic relationship: you can stay in it and "die," or you can leave and become stronger and learn to love someone who will treat you right once you learn to love yourself. This is just my thoughts about it, though, I'd love to hear what others would add onto this.
TheMonsterintheDarkness good analogy...a step further escaping said relationship(s) also leaves serious scars and traumas and especially a “loss of self” or partial loss of... like losing a part of you... and with that loss is severe pain...such as with the severing of one’s own hand...you get the idea 👏🏻❤️🇨🇦
He was a green piece of shit who can't get ONE attractive girl to take him seriously. So hes insanely jealous of any guy who can attention from many pretty women, and make it look easy. Luckily, there is balance to the universe so women invariably shove a 'nice guy' like him in the friend zone. Where you will emasculate, humiliate & devalue him because 'nice guys' dry your vaginas up.
I think that puts up her desperation. She choosed him because she was desperate for love for the first place. She keep coming back to him because of thirst for love
I'm glad so many people are pointing out this dude's toxic attitude. lol at first I thought I was just watching a really terrible rom com instead of a horror film. Horrific, maybe? Absolutely yes.

I think the man and the monster were two sides of the same person, and that the main character is representative of a person in an abusive relationship. At the beginning, the man seems sweet and likable, and many abuse victims have said that the beginning of a relationship with an abuser often seems great and normal. But, when his obsessive behaviors start to show up, the main character starts to catch glimpses of the monster here and there, and when she tries to walk away, he manipulates her with the often used abusers line "If you go, who else will love you?" taking advantage of her insecurities. The man and the creature are really the two sides of how the main character perceives the man she's dating. In order for her to escape an abusive relationship, she has to kill her perception that he was ever sweet or loving to see the monster behind the illusion. I also love how the man mentions that he "can't stop falling" and that if he doesn't, he'll "starve," alluding to the fact that a lot of abusers have a misconstrued understanding of love and treat it like an addiction, or something that is consumable. They try to force other people's love in order to feel satisfied with themselves. And escape, for the main character, means facing an extreme amount of pain and trauma as she literally "cuts herself off" from the relationship with him and runs away. And that last shot at the end isn't supposed to be sweet. It's supposed to show how the abuser's true nature will continue to feed the illusion that he's "really just a normal guy" to continue fooling the rest of the world, even when his secret's out.

Apart from the forgetting how knifes work and basic human anatomy unnecessarily towards the end, this was a pretty awesome short. The part were she has made it outside the first time and he tries to coax her back by saying he accepts her history and to think about if anyone else will... It was delivered so casual and subtle at the end of that scene it was brilliant! There are these little slips of manipulation that abusive people display that help them slowly chip away at their victims, insidiously laying snares so artfully most don't realise before its too late and they are trapped by them. That scene put a chill up my spine enough to yell at my monitor. So yeah, wd.

Carlos Idelone a psychopath is someone who is able to mimic emotions to an almost perfect replication, so yes, psychopathic EDIT: yes I know that it’s more complex than that, but that is a part of psychopathy
Commander Iceman but he wasn’t. so it was her fault. if someone told you they’ve seen the same guy with different girls come to the restaurant, you would think she would know better and not be so insecure.
Her hand shows what she had to let go in order to leave the “toxic relationship”, a piece of herself that she’ll never get back. And he was probably emotionally unavailable or something. He falls in love but then his charm wears off, his true self (aka the demon thing) shows which has possibly harmful habits. So he only reveals his true self once he’s in love (hence why he said the demon was proof he loved her) but he has harmful behaviors in the relationship that show themselves later on and end up hurting each woman he’s with. That’s what I got out of it, I liked this short!
Thank you! You are the real MVP! I had no idea what I just watched. After your breakdown, it actually made sense. I really wish they would just come out and say what they were going for on these films instead of leaving most of us guessing. Some of these films aren't as obvious as others. I still love the channel though .
Why is it that people are never in any kind of unbearable pain whenever they cut their own hands off in movies? They're always perfectly fine afterwards and just seem to go about their day.
Hey can someone just like give me the pizza worker's number? I'd love to hire him to join my private investigation team... He's quite insightful and observant.
It's actually scary how much people observe, When i worked at Dunkin donuts every regular that would come in the crew would know all kinds of crazy creepy shit. They observe a lot and study regulars like that's their actual job. It is quite scary to see just how much a customer doesn't know much about the worker but the worker will know things that would blow your mind from simply watching people over and over.
It's not nearly that easy to cut through bone with a kitchen knife. Also, if you're ever that desperate to get outa handcuffs, just cut your thumb off. No need to cut your entire hand off.
I thought they seemed like a real couple. Perhaps the acting was just that good, but I sensed chemistry between them. I loved her smile when she was seemingly falling for him.
Gaslighting is so real 😢 I feel like the horror of the short really helped portray the feelings that come from that. Ive lived that before so it hit home
Some dumb ass she was ..like what is it with fat girls ..too many insecurities..and she was pretty cute ..atleast before she found out the guy was up to no good ..her eyes popped out ..🤣
@@just_caitlin No way she can cut her entire hand that easily but not the chain. Plus if you couldn't cut the handcuffs, peeling some skin would be a better option than amputating her hand lol.
I’m only 4 minutes in, but this is a very realistic portrayal of a date between a new couple. He’s satisfyingly odd in a normal guy sort of way...she’s intelligent enough to feel something is a bit off...but she’s also perfectly self-conscious to still fall for his compliments. This does not feel forced at all. Also, you can clearly feel her disquiet. She can sense that *something*...isn’t right. But she doubts her own intuition.

And I think their are allot of people who think gaps are interesting and cool and if your not one of them that's fine, but you don't have to act like an entitled dick.
I love this channel, not for the horror aspect, but the messages that are in these short films. A good film always has a message or symbol that has a deeper meaning. Most horror films don’t have these messages or symbols so they really aren’t that interesting. THESE HOWEVER have amazing life lessons and messages that the world should know about. THIS CHANNEL NEEDS MORE LOVE Peace out
He said "I love you" and I was like "whoa... that's kinda fast bruh", then the card popped up saying "is it weird to say I love you on the third date". And I was like "yooooo it's like it knows what I'm thinking. I gotta comment this!" So here I am. Hey everyone!
I think there was a deeper meaning behind this. People hear the word love and tend to get attached at that moment. the monster symbolized the mans need for love, possibly due to past experiences, but also abuse in a relationship. The handcuffs showed how she was locked into the relationship and seemingly couldn’t get out of it no matter what was happening. she overcame her abuse and ended it, literally. When she’s on the ground, she mentions how the man doesn’t love the woman as much as the guy did. this also shows how abused others in a relationship take it as love.
She ignored so many red flags and it really bothered me. Also, the way she kept dismissing her feelings! If you are unhappy or uncomfortable with something, speak up!
Coool...so it's about a guy who can't fall in love. If he does, a monster will eat them, and then as an apology, the monster will give the guy an ice cream sandwich ??? What is happening??
I though of everything as a representation. Like the monster represents the toxic individual (and that's why he eats the girls, so the guy is alone and he' can have him for himself). The girl represents the people the guy loves (friends, family, and more). The ice cream represents the fact that even if the monster is hurting him he is "apologizing" (as toxic people do, they apologize even if they don't mean it, just to give you the illusion of love). What do tou think?
The GamingNacho I wish I knew ! Nothing points to her having died but I guess since the tables turned on the monster something changed. Maybe with the guy dying, the monster, who lived him too, gave him that piece of candy. I’m not sure what happened there.
This is an absolute underrated masterpiece. i adore the concept, and the whole thing really made me think. Congratulations to the team and especially the actors for this incredible short!
Okay.. but the actors, are SO good, the script is SO good, everything plays off so natural. Love the sets, the lighting, the background music, the colors of the characters costumes playing off eachother (pink and blue). This is so good. The casting and delivery of the dialogue is my favorite, I hope I see this writer and these actors in other projects, I love this one so much.
I saw the poll "Is it weird to say I love you on a third date" I answered no because it depends on how long you've known them and how comfortable you are with them, its all relative to the situation. Since there wasn't an "explain your thinking" option to the comments I went lol anyway, great short I subbed because all the shorts I've seen are absolutely fantastic
No harm.in saying i love you on a first date ..she was just unlucky .besides going over to d creeps crib..at night all alone ..with all the red flags she had ..it was a no brainer she had it coming ..🤔🙄
Totally agree. My husband and I were best friends for 5 years before we started dating so saying it right away wasn't weird at all. Almost 10yrs later, musta been true lol
Yeah I thought there would be a twist and she would have a monster of her own that was maybe even worse. It really felt like it was going there but I miss read it. I am sure something like that scenario has played out in other stories and heck I may of seen or read one where the victim ends up not being the real victim.
I cried watching this. I’ve never known love. Just pain, suffering, sorrow and the yearning to be loved but it will never happen. I am envious of those that can die and take it for granted. To love and die in peace must be such a beautiful feeling.
Hey, this is the filmmaker behind the short. I don’t usually comment here, but I just wanted to say I appreciate this short gave you strong feelings, and while I don’t know your personal situation, I hope you know you will be loved. Don’t lose hope. Be well 🖤
So the monster was the representation of his love. And by cuffing them, he's trying to show them girls his love, which is the monster. and once her negative thoughts come about him, his negative thoughts get to him, then his monster comes and eats them til he can learn to move on and forgive himself? that's why the monster gave him the sandwich bars? cause his monster was his own love and trying to show him to love himself instead of another person. "If it starves, I starve"
He destroyed them because he can't find the means to love himself. And he doesn't love the women; he loves what they represent, how they make him feel. The monster (the guy) "eats" them (inflicting physical and emotional trauma) because its/his toxicity. The monster apologizes with the ice cream sandwiches. It's a vicious cycle of "I hurt you. I'm sorry. Ice cream sandwich (or some other gift). Forgive me. I love you." For the guy, the ice cream could be a way of rationalizing his own terrible behavior so it's easier for him to cope with and not have to take responsibility for said behavior. That's my take, at least.
you can't really, certainly not that fast. however, when under pressure, the human body can do things previously perceived as impossible, (such as use the full capacity of our muscles), and so maybe it is possible when afraid for your life to hack off your own hand in ten seconds with a serrated steak knife.
A stranger on OkCupid once told me I would die from stress if I don't take part in Marijuana Meditation with her! P.S: I'm not kidding. I wish I was. You can't make this stuff up!
Cutting her own hand off ruins the whole thing. I know its a horror movie but someone actually being able to dismember themselves with out barely a whimper is just bullshit and ruins it for me.
She saws her own hand off and barely flinches, he gets a small stab to the shoulder and nearly kills over. Moral of the story: love yourself and don't be a pathetic, desperate chick.
As the guy stated at the restaurant that ice cream helps him cheer up when his feeling down. In which the ending the monster give him an ice cream to cheer him up because he feels down after the monster eats whoever he loves.
Ikr?! No flowers, raggedy unbuttoned shirt. Kept sucking his teeth to draw attention to them. At least he held her hand while they were walking. It was almost romantic enough that that whole "gotta kill you now" thing could be overlooked.
This is ABSOLUTELY a metaphor for NARCISSISTIC ABUSE, if EVER I've seen one! BRAVO.....as a survivor, y'all really captured the pure essence of what it is like to be in one of these relationships & how it consumes you....for sure! & They also make sure to tell you that no one will ever love you like they do....

"I love you, but I love the monster even more."
Apart from the forgetting how knifes work and basic human anatomy unnecessarily towards the end, this was a pretty awesome short. The part were she has made it outside the first time and he tries to coax her back by saying he accepts her history and to think about if anyone else will... It was delivered so casual and subtle at the end of that scene it was brilliant! There are these little slips of manipulation that abusive people display that help them slowly chip away at their victims, insidiously laying snares so artfully most don't realise before its too late and they are trapped by them. That scene put a chill up my spine enough to yell at my monitor. So yeah, wd.

Thaaaat was pretty interesting, I wasn’t feeling her, but the creature was great, and the male actor’s calmness brought out a psychopathic vibe
I found the man emotional and remorseful, so not psychopathic.
Carlos Idelone a psychopath is someone who is able to mimic emotions to an almost perfect replication, so yes, psychopathic

MORAL OF THE STORY:
ALWAYS LISTEN TO THE PIZZA GUY.!😉
🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕⚠️
Except the pizza delivery guy from deadpool. He's a stalker.
The true horror was her wasting a perfectly good slice of pizza. 😢
😂😂😂 I am still crying 😢
It looked so good!
Should've listened to the warning from the pizza guy.
Commander Iceman but he wasn’t. so it was her fault. if someone told you they’ve seen the same guy with different girls come to the restaurant, you would think she would know better and not be so insecure.
Notice how he said "Just be careful", that doesn't sound jealous or envious !
If the guy truly loved her, he’d let himself starve rather than sacrifice her to that thing.
@@ajaiymy experience with people warning others away from me it's been because they are jealous
So don't just take his word for it.
Her hand shows what she had to let go in order to leave the “toxic relationship”, a piece of herself that she’ll never get back. And he was probably emotionally unavailable or something. He falls in love but then his charm wears off, his true self (aka the demon thing) shows which has possibly harmful habits. So he only reveals his true self once he’s in love (hence why he said the demon was proof he loved her) but he has harmful behaviors in the relationship that show themselves later on and end up hurting each woman he’s with. That’s what I got out of it, I liked this short!
Thank you. I don't get it, 'til I read your comment.

I still love the channel though .

Why is it that people are never in any kind of unbearable pain whenever they cut their own hands off in movies? They're always perfectly fine afterwards and just seem to go about their day.

It's actually scary how much people observe, When i worked at Dunkin donuts every regular that would come in the crew would know all kinds of crazy creepy shit. They observe a lot and study regulars like that's their actual job. It is quite scary to see just how much a customer doesn't know much about the worker but the worker will know things that would blow your mind from simply watching people over and over.
There's no way she could cut her hand off that easily
It was a serrated knife. 😜
@@vibo0430 okay now that makes sense lmao 🤘😝🤣
Haha Because the director said that she can do it despite the fact that cutting the hand with bones in it was harder than cutting the handcuff
WHY WOULD SHE DROP THE KNIFE WHEN SHE NEEDED IT MOST?!?!? GAHH!!!!!
I love the play on the "Third Date" here--the demon, in its own right, is the third member of this relationship, and thus the "third date:.
Moon Bird Good catch
Okay, but can we talk about the last scene where the monster layed down the icecream sandwich beside the dudes body for the last time? It's sad :(

It's not nearly that easy to cut through bone with a kitchen knife. Also, if you're ever that desperate to get outa handcuffs, just cut your thumb off. No need to cut your entire hand off.

There's no point to having a hand when you can't use ur thumb

I thought they seemed like a real couple. Perhaps the acting was just that good, but I sensed chemistry between them. I loved her smile when she was seemingly falling for him.
Gaslighting is so real 😢 I feel like the horror of the short really helped portray the feelings that come from that.

I’m only 4 minutes in, but this is a very realistic portrayal of a date between a new couple. He’s satisfyingly odd in a normal guy sort of way...she’s intelligent enough to feel something is a bit off...but she’s also perfectly self-conscious to still fall for his compliments. This does not feel forced at all. Also, you can clearly feel her disquiet. She can sense that *something*...isn’t right. But she doubts her own intuition.

I love this channel, not for the horror aspect, but the messages that are in these short films. A good film always has a message or symbol that has a deeper meaning. Most horror films don’t have these messages or symbols so they really aren’t that interesting. THESE HOWEVER have amazing life lessons and messages that the world should know about. THIS CHANNEL NEEDS MORE LOVE
Peace out
He said "I love you" and I was like "whoa... that's kinda fast bruh", then the card popped up saying "is it weird to say I love you on the third date". And I was like "yooooo it's like it knows what I'm thinking. I gotta comment this!" So here I am. Hey everyone!
😅🤣🤣🤣
I think there was a deeper meaning behind this. People hear the word love and tend to get attached at that moment. the monster symbolized the mans need for love, possibly due to past experiences, but also abuse in a relationship. The handcuffs showed how she was locked into the relationship and seemingly couldn’t get out of it no matter what was happening. she overcame her abuse and ended it, literally. When she’s on the ground, she mentions how the man doesn’t love the woman as much as the guy did. this also shows how abused others in a relationship take it as love.
Short: *begins with woman screaming*
Me: *puts on seatbelt* aight we got some kill bill level beginning here okay okay
Lolol
🤣🤣🤣
Served her right! She told the pizza guy to mind his own business while he was giving her some honest and sincere advice!!!
She ignored so many red flags and it really bothered me. Also, the way she kept dismissing her feelings! If you are unhappy or uncomfortable with something, speak up!
When people say love hurts
Me: Let me show you a video,,,
Lmboo D.A
Coool...so it's about a guy who can't fall in love. If he does, a monster will eat them, and then as an apology, the monster will give the guy an ice cream sandwich ??? What is happening??
I though of everything as a representation. Like the monster represents the toxic individual (and that's why he eats the girls, so the guy is alone and he' can have him for himself). The girl represents the people the guy loves (friends, family, and more). The ice cream represents the fact that even if the monster is hurting him he is "apologizing" (as toxic people do, they apologize even if they don't mean it, just to give you the illusion of love).
What do tou think?
He can only eat when the monster eats and the monster can only eat who the dude falls in love with...I think
@@marianab71 So did the girl end up dying? Cause he gave him the ice cream sandwich at the end
The GamingNacho I wish I knew ! Nothing points to her having died but I guess since the tables turned on the monster something changed. Maybe with the guy dying, the monster, who lived him too, gave him that piece of candy.
I’m not sure what happened there.
I felt like this was the epitome of a narcissistic abuse of relationship to a T
See kids that's why u stay off Tinder. 🇦🇺 🏴☠️
This is an absolute underrated masterpiece. i adore the concept, and the whole thing really made me think. Congratulations to the team and especially the actors for this incredible short!
Okay.. but the actors, are SO good, the script is SO good, everything plays off so natural. Love the sets, the lighting, the background music, the colors of the characters costumes playing off eachother (pink and blue). This is so good. The casting and delivery of the dialogue is my favorite, I hope I see this writer and these actors in other projects, I love this one so much.
I saw the poll "Is it weird to say I love you on a third date" I answered no because it depends on how long you've known them and how comfortable you are with them, its all relative to the situation. Since there wasn't an "explain your thinking" option to the comments I went lol
anyway, great short I subbed because all the shorts I've seen are absolutely fantastic
No harm.in saying i love you on a first date ..she was just unlucky .besides going over to d creeps crib..at night all alone ..with all the red flags she had ..it was a no brainer she had it coming ..🤔🙄
Totally agree. My husband and I were best friends for 5 years before we started dating so saying it right away wasn't weird at all. Almost 10yrs later, musta been true lol
I don't think it matters when you say "I love you," if you know how how you feel and don't have expectations.
Fun fact: 57% of all New York's apartments are in the process of renovation.
That's a Fact.
Facts bro
Said, serial killer
I thought when she said nobody could love her, that she was a monster too.
Me too! I thought that's where the story was headed. She would hold him captive and feed him.
Same! I'm kinda disappointed
Yeah I thought there would be a twist and she would have a monster of her own that was maybe even worse. It really felt like it was going there but I miss read it. I am sure something like that scenario has played out in other stories and heck I may of seen or read one where the victim ends up not being the real victim.
That would have been a nice twist!
I cried watching this. I’ve never known love. Just pain, suffering, sorrow and the yearning to be loved but it will never happen. I am envious of those that can die and take it for granted. To love and die in peace must be such a beautiful feeling.
Hey, this is the filmmaker behind the short. I don’t usually comment here, but I just wanted to say I appreciate this short gave you strong feelings, and while I don’t know your personal situation, I hope you know you will be loved. Don’t lose hope. Be well 🖤
❤
That line... people don't deserve people... really hits hard
So the monster was the representation of his love. And by cuffing them, he's trying to show them girls his love, which is the monster. and once her negative thoughts come about him,
his negative thoughts get to him, then his monster comes and eats them til he can learn to move on and forgive himself? that's why the monster gave him the sandwich bars? cause his monster was his own love and trying to show him to love himself instead of another person.
"If it starves, I starve"
What was her secret at the beginning? That’s what I can’t figure out
@@peachimeachi8170 She got in an accident and killed a child.
U really make me understand the whole story 😁🌸
So he only ate the girls he loved? (And I don't mean eat in a good way). Or fed them to the creature, whatever.
He destroyed them because he can't find the means to love himself. And he doesn't love the women; he loves what they represent, how they make him feel. The monster (the guy) "eats" them (inflicting physical and emotional trauma) because its/his toxicity. The monster apologizes with the ice cream sandwiches. It's a vicious cycle of "I hurt you. I'm sorry. Ice cream sandwich (or some other gift). Forgive me. I love you." For the guy, the ice cream could be a way of rationalizing his own terrible behavior so it's easier for him to cope with and not have to take responsibility for said behavior. That's my take, at least.
This was so sad :( I liked the girl, the guy, AND the monster
Me too! Why is that?
@@jayhi5479 natural reactions and good characters. The monster was being itself and the guy and woman progressed in a natural way.

Alter spoilers are worse than Endgame spoilers. I said it.

Great film 👏👍 🤓 .. How can u cut thru the wrist / arm bone with a butcher knife ? Much blood lost & not go into shock from it ? Just asking !
That part didn't make sense.
Panic and the need to survive can produce extraordinary results.
You should experimemt
She stabbed him with the butcher knife, she cut her hand off with a serrated steak knife.
you can't really, certainly not that fast. however, when under pressure, the human body can do things previously perceived as impossible, (such as use the full capacity of our muscles), and so maybe it is possible when afraid for your life to hack off your own hand in ten seconds with a serrated steak knife.
Gotta admit I would not have the guts to cut my hand off. But then again, I'd be able to shoot the monster, so it's a fair trade.
Except, all you would have to cut off is the thumb, not the whole hand.
@@BaneOfThanatos true.

Cutting her own hand off ruins the whole thing. I know its a horror movie but someone actually being able to dismember themselves with out barely a whimper is just bullshit and ruins it for me.
Maybe it's the adrenaline rush😅..Better not having a hand than a life😅

As the guy stated at the restaurant that ice cream helps him cheer up when his feeling down.
In which the ending the monster give him an ice cream to cheer him up because he feels down after the monster eats whoever he loves.
the monster is professional. giving out freaking icecream sandwhich instead of a normal icecream cone.

alter honestly presents some amazing social commentary through their films. so refreshing to see.
The description says the woman goes on a date with "charming young man" and I don't find him charming from anywhere 😂😂
Charm is subjective
I thought the pizza guy was charming, the other guy gave me to much of a player vibe. but that means they are doing here roles right i guess :P
Ikr?! No flowers, raggedy unbuttoned shirt. Kept sucking his teeth to draw attention to them. At least he held her hand while they were walking. It was almost romantic enough that that whole "gotta kill you now" thing could be overlooked.
He was charming in looks tho so that counts
Not charming in looks at all
This is ABSOLUTELY a metaphor for NARCISSISTIC ABUSE, if EVER I've seen one! BRAVO.....as a survivor, y'all really captured the pure essence of what it is like to be in one of these relationships & how it consumes you....for sure! & They also make sure to tell you that no one will ever love you like they do....
