Shoutout on this actress by the way, not easy to have yourself be the only actor in something, putting all that pressure of tension and delivery on you. She did great!
@uninterestedYam
I am obsessed with that exact moment where she's no longer grateful for being able to see him but instead starts to fear him. This is an awesome short film
@Zan140
One of the best tactics in horror movies is when the monster is barely visible, just visible enough to tell you it exists and its closer than you think. Love what you did here
@ky-ng6tr
That last shot of her is genius. The projector light right behind her head giving the impression of a halo or showing that she’s been “enlightened” adds a lot to the ending. The creature’s light, it’s like it’s a part of her now… make of that what you will.
@LogMan01-j1k
The fact that she's clutching that cross so hard that her fingers are drawing blood is so eerie and I love it
@elementallobsterx
BRO. The way he was getting more and more visible as she rolled up the screen was horrifying
@moralfuxery
This is the type of horror that only a short film can capture. You couldn't make this into a movie, it's strength lies in its shortness.
@tkhero7045
i love how despite being absolutely horrific "God" was never violent or even aggressive with her. Nothing but gentle even when showing her something humanity probably isnt ready to see
@blankarozinka2468
i swear to god, some short youtube horror movies are better and have more meaning than a lot of whole horror movies. good job.
@MrTony-rx7tk
The thing that disturbed me the most wasn’t the creature itself, but the shot of her timer running for over 3 hours. That just really got to me for some reason
@ian5756
Without jumpscares, without gore, without screaming... you made one of the best horror movies/short films. congrats
@paulnitsch7473
I liked how my eyes adjusted to her being the only bright thing on the screen, then each time the scene switched back to the black painting, I could see her silhouette. Honestly at first I thought this was the intended effect so we, the viewer, would "see" god's form in the blank black canvas.
@c00mgoblin
Holy shit this has the exact type of Lovecraftian horror I was hoping for. As soon as it started I had chills as the people described “God” it’s one of those things that you know you’re not supposed to see. Its incredible how it gave that feeling of perversion, like you’re looking at something you shouldn’t be. Perfection.
@Mindboggles
THIS, THIS IS THE KIND OF HORROR I WANT. The pure, psychological cosmic dread building and building. Not a single loud noise jumpscare, truly an expertly crafted piece of art.
@carnictus23
I love the small detail at 5:50 of "God"s hand touching her chin. The arm moves to her face while the figure itself doesn't move at all, and the hand comes from an angle that should be impossible given its positioning. Gives the impression that this entire surrounding of darkness IS the being, and the figure is just how it chooses to present itself
@georgemancia3261
I've never gotten goosebumps while watching a horror film, and this was my first time. When the figure begins to become increasingly visible, she retracts the projector screen, but the figure was still there. We see the arms and shoulders, first wave of goosebumps, but then the tiny glistening eyes, and I got a second wave of goosebumps all over my body. This incredible work shook me, even though I never fear horror films. Well done!
@wizardiron9875
The fact that it was behind her the whole time she didn't see it, but then disappeared for us to see it in the screen gives me goosebumps
@willd.4808
This is one of the only times "it was all in their head" actually hit for me. Probably because 1. it's not actually defined whether it WAS in her head or not, and 2. it fits the THEME of the painting being a "religious experience" and isn't just a cheap cop-out. It ADDS to the story rather than detracts from it.
@neondaybreak
That was one of the best short horror films I've seen in recent times! The moment where the screen got rolled up but "God" was still there actually gave me chills.
