Explain the meaning behind this story. I didn't understand it properly.
@@PrabhaviArushika me either
I couldn't really invest much into this one for some reason... how ever I did enjoy the audio side of it.... what was used for the initial thumping/Banging that got Susies attention at the start?
This one was the worst of the shorts featured by ALTER so far(most of them are great!). Can anyone tell what was it even about? ALTER maybe...?
ANOTHER MASTERPIECE, THANK YOU FOR THE FILM, YOU CAN TAKE NEW HORROR STORIES AS A BASIS, IT TURNED OUT VERY COOL | ОЧЕРЕДНОЙ ШЕДЕВР, СПАСИБО ЗА ФИЛЬМ, МОЖНО БРАТЬ ЗА ОСНОВУ НОВЫХ СТРАШИЛОК, ОЧЕНЬ КРУТО ПОЛУЧИЛОСЬ
I'm going to treat this like a UFO.. I definitely viewed something, but I'm not quite sure what it was or how to describe it.
I support this comment 100%.
Exactly how I feel about it.
Perfectly and cleverly said
Sad it’s out everyone being right in their room So she killed the other point of view!
You made my day 🤣🤣🤣
When she was describing how life feels like it doesn’t exist outside of a room, I definitely felt that. More so about depression but still…..
For everyone asking the meaning, this is from the website: “Susie and Andy’s relationship has become toxic. In order to deal with Andy’s controlling and emotionally damaging actions, Susie begins to manifest a real and physical horror.”
When Susie starts manifesting these things her girlfriend kills her. Does she do it out of fear or because she’s losing control of Susie? The thing Susie created as a defense mechanism ended up causing her death.
wow you have a good explaination
they did a horrible job of conveying that visually.
@@Billssock Agreed
Its Always like that, even in real Life.
The information herein is not contained in the film.
It seems that a true entity
of darkness arrived.
From where?
That information is not conveyed.
Susie is a recent potential
'Possession'
by a malignant entity
of manifested force.
Her girlfriend saves her life from actually (in possession)
walking off the Roof.
At the end when she feels
she is cured?
The entity has jumped.
The entity wanted Susie's demise.
The information as to why
we do not know.
Suffice to say The entity is a malignant Entity.
The entity possesses her roommate and kills Susie.
The End
Well this was definitely a film and I definitely just watched it.
😂 I feel the same
Now I’m scared 💀
CRYPT TV and ALTER are now my quarantine's combo for short horror film.
Yeah man, crypt tv is really good too. There monster verse is really cool
Then there's Dust (scifi+scifi horror) and Omeleto horror too 😊
Oh, and screamfest.. 💀🔪
You’re in quarantine?
This really made me think about the relationship we tend to have with ourselves and how it affects our social interactions. How do you talk to yourself? Do you feel stuck inside your own head?
Yep sometimes
I predict this relationship will not last.
😂I think you’re very right about that
Some really strong editing choices turned out beautifully. And great job soudn designer!
it feels like watching a full movie in just 15 minutes... lovely...
“How can yo be such a bummer and anyone love you at all??” Burn 🔥
I'm not sure I see the abuse in this relationship. They both have issues, and seem to be in a bad place, but I don't think I'd call Andy abusive. She seems depressed, and Susie seems dismissive. I don't think I saw anything "controlling" either. Andy doesn't want to go to a party since it seems like she's having a really bad day, but she goes anyway to make Susie happy. When their friend is telling a story, she's putting on a face, and when she can't take being fake anymore, she politely leaves so she doesn't spoil their fun. She seems concerned about Susie picking at her nails and drinking excessively. Maybe she's not the nicest about it, but she doesn't yell at her once or command that she does what she wants. Am I missing something? I've seen abuse, and this doesn't seem like it to me.....
maybe not full on abuse but it's definitely (and I hate that I'm even using this word because it's way overused) a toxic relationship at the very least.
Just 2 different gals. Maybe they shouldn't have ever been in a relationship? Idk
Right they seem like a regular everyday couple
@@youtubeuser4943it’s not it’s normal to have arguments women have issues sometimes we all do. Everyone acts like you should leave when it’s not perfect. Women that stick it out because they won’t quit someone over a few flaws shouldn’t be called toxic. Nobody ever stays with each other today and with the internet being so important it can ruin fragile relationships. I had guys fall in love way too quick then dump me when I started to become available which is too common now a days. But I’m now married and we met broken but worked through the pain and now have much better communication. People need to stop giving up so fast on everything and everyone
Susie has suicidal tendencies and it's clearly depicted in the film (Susie may be a wordplay for the word 'Suicide'). Andy looks like she has trouble connecting with other people and has negative attitude towards them. Although she tries for the sake of her partner, it doesn't end well. This, in turn, affects Susie in a negative way. Shen tries to connect with her partner but gets turned down.
This must have been a cycle and both of them gets stuck in the relationship (which is what the clock is trying to represent where it was shown a couple of times telling the same time). Susie desperately wants to get out of it (represented by the loud banging on the door or running out of their apartment) but maybe out of guilt, couldn't leave Andy who genuinely cares about her.
Towards the end, a fight must have broken out and Andy accidentally stabs Susie which is what she may have wanted after all by saying 'I have fixed it'.
Or not.
I feel like this is the breakdown in Andy's head, almost like it's happening in a split second right as she stabs susie. This is her psychotic break and is playing back in her head as if she's the one who is being mistreated, like a justification. An immediate psychotic break flashing in the instant she sees what she does, the brain attempting to justify her actions.
sort of an “anti-persona” where the characters fight the growing distance between themselves, rather than fighting the merging of two persons as shown in persona
Mwahahahaha!
it's a bit like corona distancing
Paranoid schizophrenia? Doesn’t really explain the ending but it’s the best I got. That or domestic abuse in a previous relationship and not wanting it to repeat, but that feels more like a reach
I’m with you on that one. Paranoia Schizophrenia was my first thought too.
i think paranoid schizophrenia is right, but it think that the girl that stabbed her has it instead of susie.
If living in your own paranoid decisions mean schizophrenia, then I concur.
@@bloody_pooodlez true
It's artistic and beautiful, but I think the problem with having very little idea of what is real, what is actually happening etc can cause the final product to have less impact. And unless there is a lot happening off screen, I don't know if I see the toxicity? For most of it Andy seems more like a depressed person with maybe problems expressing her thoughts/feelings rather than downright abuser, and Susie seems like she is the one having a mental breakdown. Right until the ending, which then made me go "...wait, what?".
I’m so confused
okay forgive me if this is absolutely incorrect but my take on this really disturbing well done video btw was this: The clock at night and in the morning is exactly in the same place and at other parts of the day. I took it so symbolically that this is about two people who's ideal time for each other has run out but they are both too scared to move on so they stay stuck in fear...unable to say they want out but unable to commit more. Of course I usually just watch films at a literal sense so it's also possible they are just stuck in some time imprint...but I really feel even then it's about them both being afraid of expressing their needs. The end though...I should have seen that was how it was going to happen based on her saying "don't do it to me" earlier but I didn't. I always love it when writers give you the most obvious clues and then surprise you. Captivating.
Honestly loved your take on this
Me too! And I don't think it's incorrect at all.
I also get the sense that both their histories and past relationships might be playing into why they stay together and that Susie used to be in an abusive relationship which is why she saw it coming but couldn't get out because of a learned trauma response.
@@Nirax3 I love your insight!
I totally agree and love you interpretation.
The mistery is how there is so much high quality short movies outhere without that much of a recognition
Alter is just the best in horror series
𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝑨𝒍𝒕𝒆𝒓...♡︎♡︎♡︎
Yasssssss
*"How can you be such a bummer and anyone loves you at all" I agree 100%*
Hii ya
A lot of these horror films seem to take their inspiration from Schizophrenia
They posted this 57 seconds ago and I am here watching it I feel like a stalker 😂😂😂
Join the Alter Stalking club! It gets competitive with the "First" comments. I have never yet been able to have a "first comment" One time I thought I was going to and then just as I was going to three came in before me
This one is confusing... not in a good way.
I thought it was a waste of time.
@@edrozenrozen9600 Yeah I agree. Most of shorts on Alter are cool, some of them have twist, some have deeper meaning but this was just bad and pointless.
@@kamilnurkowski I conceed that maybe there's a point in there somewhere...
I think you might have to have degrees in psychology, lesbian studies and filmmaking in order to see what it is!
It made no sense
It was deep that's for sure, she seem to be suffering from some kind of psychotic break down, awesome short!👍💯
I'm so confused. Utterly confused. Someone please explain
Same here
Susie has problems.
Ditto! Didn't get it without CC's.
@@MisterG2323 yup SERIOUS ones!! It's like she had dual personality disorder... In one scene she was talking to herself. Then on the roof....yeah she had issues.
Oh Suzie!! That's not going to make it go away.......
I love how there was this suspirian vibe kind of color grading in certain parts of the movie. Also , kudos to your stylist-the haircut and color of the two main characters somehow feels like they played a main factor in defining each role. 🔥
The lighting effects in these are always SO good!
Susie (Suzanne) is stronger than Andy (Andrea)... Andrea needs to control Susie. That's when things turn lethal.
The fact that ive literally been the person at parties at 2:31 makes this hit different
Susie ... girl don't run up on me like that . Freaked me tf out looking at me like that then you ran towards me all scary and shhit
Congratulations indeed to all. Wonderful short film in every respect.
Susie slices carrots and then goes to the party. This was my first clue that something really bad was about to happen
That talk about the room... I think I understand that feeling. When u are being abused and u can't go away u star thinking about other way to escape -dying.
When your coping skills with negative experiences are so undeveloped that they involve alcohol, you’re going to have a lot of negative experiences.
I was thinking, "Nice setup, suspence has been built, as long as, at the end, they don't... they did it."
From any reason cutting carrot scene was placed in many horrors. Usually they cut fingers together with carrot. But it is still interesting what is so cringe about this poor vegetable, why broccoli is not a black character for ex 🙂
Yeah 😆😆👍
there is an alter video with brocoli in it...and it's disturbing!
I was literally just wondering if carrot chopping was a weird horror trope?
Why I am thinking same thing
Broccoli? Did I read broccoli? So I bet you skipped "Home education", here on Alter. It's superb!
If at first you don't understand, watch it again. Pay attention
can you just like explain it i don't wanna watch it again
No.
So I think the both of them have some sort of mental illness?
Which is deluding the truth of how toxic the relationship is for each of them, and in an attempt to get out of it Susie creates an alternative mindset, which is speratic and scares Andy
Andy, who has trouble expressing her emotions might have become too controlling to Susie despite just trying to care for her. When the alternative mindset tries to free Susie via suicide, Andy becomes frightened even more and in an attempt to get Susie to stop, she uses a broken plate to stab her. Her mind warping the event to seem like Susie is the one stabbing her, both can't actually believe what's happening and they're both in denial.
Someone please explain
Yeah, I'm gonna need someone to explain this to me please. I have no idea why this is scary.
Same as me
Ditto!
I read many comment above this, the people said it is psycologic horror. . . but i still confused with the storyline.. . .
Man i have no idea what i am watching
Same
Movie had me tripping when I was high ngl. Loved it though
So here’s what I think, Susie got possessed/manifested an evil entity inside herself via mental illness and Andy didnt know how to help. This resulted in a toxic relationship where susie was struggling with her mental health and manifesting this demon as Andy swept it under the rug because she didn’t know the right ways to help. Andy becomes overbearing and less social and introverted and projects that onto susie and makes things worse.
Susie attempts to game-end herself and Andy had a breakdown wherein the possessed Susie antagonizes Andy into stabbing her.
Loud banging
is often
a sign of
noise.
I lol so hard when he said "I do love you though." !!!! Gross humor that could have worked both ways. GJ!
so it was the other girl? at the table with her friends i took it as she was not ina good mind set, so any other explanations .. is susie even real
There you go Krystal Lee! Susie may be the lamp lady with the lights over her shoulders in the beginning. I'll check it out again, tomorrow, after I try to forget the finger nail "yuck scare".
Can anyone explain
I just watched a few of Alter's vid and I'm lovin' it, great horror content
This may be one of the worst short films I’ve ever seen.
I decided to wait & watch this until tonight & within 2 minutes of starting the film, I suddenly start picking and peeling at my dark grey gel nail polish - and when the film hits 2:20 or so I am amazed and a little freaked at this coincidence?!
This is the earliest I’ve EVER been lucky to be watching it now!
If you're in the mood for more...
Yeah. This doesn't make any sense at all. If the other woman was controlling in the relationship it didn't show. In fact it seems she was caring. And suddenly out of nowhere 'bam' she stuck the other woman, non-sequitur. Was it somehow non-linear? Or needs a deeper dissection?
I don't get it
Oh my gosh me either
I flew in to see the comment section
I think this is the fastest I have clicked on a video and I ain't complaining 🥺
Loving these videos lately
Man, that Andy can sure dish it out... (groan)!
So sad that the selfish partner is still selfish to the end. Controlling, cheating and finally getting rid of “the relationship problem”.
I saw the patterns in this short in many real lives.
I never clicked so fast on a notification lmaooo
Yes you have
What does IMAO mean
@@anilrai8571 I meow at ostriches
@@quantheterrible3285 nice
OK, so I’ve watched this film several times over a period of time… and I figured it out, I finally figured out this film….and it was the same type of epiphany that I had when I figured out the shining. This was brilliant, and now that I understand it I enjoy even more. Hint: listen closely to what she says @13:15. She says that she’s not sure if anything exists outside “the room”, and she feels trapped in a box, and that she’s not sure if anything really exists outside of this box and sometimes she gets scared or so worked up that she has to leave “the room” to make sure…. The knocking represent something… maybe a change….come on people figure this out!!!! Its awesome so much better when you figure it out yourself, rather then when somebody tells you. I’m trying to give you some hints!
do tell.....
Please bestow upon us the information necessary to understand this film o knowledgeable one.
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
metaphor about being trans?
Very nice Cerebral Sci Fi Short! Loved it!❤
Will someone explain this one to me?
Completely lost on this one. I'll have to watch it again.
Same as me
@@rosminiabdulghafar1063 Might dig our films as well
I misread the video as "sussy" ඞ
And this, my friends, is why you shouldn't have a pink glow in the dark clock on your wall 😌
Now this one is a bit obscure.
WTF? I am very confused!
Not horrory
wow! That was atrip . Fever dream and so sad. Controlling behavior is a slow death.
Susie is TOXIC
Don't call a friend, call 👏🏻 a 👏🏻 professional 👏🏻 and go stay at a friend's house 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Well that's definitely not the ending I saw coming. I love a good stabbing twist to confuse the hell out of me. And the horror on both of their faces just makes it complete. 🥰👏👏👏👏
Really👍👍 Scarry one..
Thats why loving so much this channel❤❤❤
Didnt exspect the ending very disturbing and well acted and sad so many emotions in one enjoyed it ❤
my earliest
Somebody gave Susie a
Cosby Cocktail at the party.
It was some kind of psychic disorder with the main character or demon possession ?
IMO, this isn’t one of this channel’s better offerings.
Cool, it remember me to Mulholland Drive movie!! well done
no!
This is incredible! I'd love to offer an interpretation, but I'm not there yet. Not even close. Though, for now, it has sort of a Picasso-esque multi-perspective, multi-aspect montage quality to it. It does not all have to cohere beyond the theme level.
Talk about a mind-bender. I feel like my mind just got stuck in taffee puller.
Compelling work here! Love it!

Mmkay...guess I'll just say it's supposed to be 'art', and leave it at that.
I really like the Alter videos. But my english is terrible and many of them don't have the translation option in the bar, could you fix this please?
This was intense, bravo
I heard if you say your favorite RUclips name 3 times they will pin you.

love your vids
I've heard that joke retold in so many different ways, in a different country too. Interesting.
I need more horror
Not sure about this whole thing, but her thoughts at 13:10 resonated.
the other girl, not Susie, is really uncharitable and selfish.
I LOVE ALTER
It only took me 3 sessions to finish th15 min movie 🍿
Short and sweet horror movie best 😍😍😍😍
Alter,perfect as always .
The thumbnail tho 😏
Humm🤔 I didn't get this one... anyone who did care to enlighten? I would appreciate it! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I love this one
This is the worst Alter film I’ve seen so far! Disappointed
