this is an excellent reminder that life is short go be with your loved ones more, we will never get this time back. thank you to everyone involved in such an amazing film...

Lost my mom in 2022 from cancer & to think anyone would reject seeeing thier loved ones dying is the hardest thing to face but you need to be there & you need to say the things you must before they are gone . As hard as it it if you don't you will live with regret for the rest of your life . I was not one to run away as she does & i feel sorry for her at the end as she may think she will be OK but that's not going to really happen. A hard short to watch if you feel as she did cause once they are gone you can't go back. All the pills in the world won't fix what you do when you choose the wrong path. Grief is the real horror of losing a loved one.

This was well written, and the actress was phenomenal. As someone who went through the anxiety and depression of taking care of a dying parent, I understood what she was feeling.

Dealing with the imminent death of somebody we love is not obvious at all. Each person has his/her own way to cope with this inevitable and terrifying issue. The behavior of some people could be hard to understand for others. Most of the time, we're hasty to judge people who seem «odd», even reprehensive regarding our own values and standards. For instance, the behavior of this young woman can easily make us think she's a heartless and insensitive woman. In my opinion, she's afraid about seeing her mother die. The idea of loosing her mother is too much for her. All along this short movie, we can see the turmoil of this woman (the tranquilizing medication she takes is a proof of it), tormented by a mysterious and looked like ominous character, in the shadow. This woman is constantly teared between the guilt of not being with her dying mother and her fear of the terrible fate that awaits her. This is a harsh and demanding dilemma that a lot of people have to struggle with. At the end, we understand that this character is, in fact, the mother of this woman. The luminous end of this movie underlines very aptly, by contrast, the dark and harrowing atmosphere that prevailed before. And the calm, peaceful expression on the face of the main character is on the same wavelength with this bright mood. Please, forgive me to put myself under the spotlights. But I was the care giver of my mother a whole year (2015-6), while she was facing the lungs cancer that took her, eight years ago. For me, this demanding period was the most stressing and meaningful time of my life. Living with somebody you cherish the most in the world, knowing that this person will leave you definitively in a few months, makes you feel all the importance of being present and loving for those who count the most for you. Also, it makes us aware how much the life is fleeting and, therefore, precious. Even if I never have adopted the escaping behavior of this unfortunate woman, I can understand why she acts like this. And that's why I like so much this short movie.

IDK what to say. This hit way too close to home. I truly didn't know my Father was dying, all the medical staff said he was doing good. I had no idea what this short was about but when I realized what I was watching I had to stop & watch the rest later. Obviously the makers know how it feels.

The whole film gave me anxiety the dog was the only thing that gave some calm feeling 😭😭😭😭🙌🙌🙌❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

This was so sad. I have stage 4 breast cancer & when I was first diagnosed, my sibling refused to accept it. It wasn’t til I started losing my hair that they realized this was actually happening to me. It’s hard to face our mortality, & that of the people we love. This was so good.

I love the scene where she runs to the beach and sees the ghostly image of her mother. I was expecting it to be scarier though with horror in the title, but great job!

My mother is alive and relatively healthy. But she too will have to die one day. I already dread that day or the brief moments leading up to it, again and again. We don't have an intimate relationship, we're more like acquaintances. Nevertheless, I am afraid of my own emotions, which I fear I will no longer be able to control when my mother dies. I don't really want to go to the funeral either. That's how it is.

great job. Shed tears at the end. The ex is hot!

This was so good it was really moving. People don’t understand grief and pain. So of course they’ll say anything negative in this comment section. Heavily applauded nice work.😊

WOW, that really hits home. I remember my mother being ill but no one told me how bad she was. (I lived overseas so I guess no one wanted to worry me) It was only when my dad phoned to say that she wanted to see me that alarm bells rang in my head. I went back home only to find out how bad she really was, I stayed for a few days when she called me to her bedroom and said "Paul go home to your family there is nothing you can do here? I just want to go now but please don't tell your father." I gave her a kiss and I said "I won't see you again will I mum." I turned my back and left the room holding back my tears until I got to her garden. I went back to mine and two days later got the call that she had passed. That was over 11 years ago and is still in my mind like it was yesterday.

I love the way you shot this. Really good use of light.

Suffering the pain of grief and loss is always an extremely difficult time in a person's life. But even including the visions, here, I would not have classified this video as horror.

What a cool spin to tackle the grieving process. As someone who has lost one of my pillars in my life, my Dad, I can definitely relate. His loss felt like a horror movie at first. A haunting void filled with sadness and sorrow. Eventually you move on past that and can remember and enjoy the beautiful moments shared together. But before that, oh boy, I can relate. Greath short! Excellent use of music to create the atmosphere and loved the spin on grief as a “horror” movie. Shout out to all the actors who did a tremendous job. Specially the guy who acted as Chris. Not gonna lie, at first I thought he was the “Killer”. Those ears threw me off lol.

Excellent short. Great acting, scenario ,cinematography and sound track. Also a reminder to all about appreciating our loved ones whlist they're still alive.

not sure why some people are being purposely obtuse in the comments. this was one of the best psychological horror shorts i've seen in a while. excellent acting, great story, some beautiful visual queues. it can be a bit difficult for me to stick through some short films if they don't hook me early enough, but this one was a line hook and sinker. legit just stumbled across this while looking to get inspired. amazing job to everyone involved!

Great short, loved it !

The acting on these short films is superb... ☺️

This was a really good short. Had tears in my eyes by the end. I went through some loss recently and the emotions and behaviors depicted in here were spot on. Grief is hard, but the guilt of not seeing someone before they pass is unbearable.

This is much more on the side of highly uncomfortable rather than being horror. It was like awkwardly standing in the corner of the room with the grieving family of a total stranger.

Well done!

I'm already scared. That guy just appearing everywhere staring at her is creeping me out. 😨. That was pretty creepy. Definitely had me on the edge.

The horror of losing a parent to a slow degenerative disease is so sad

Can’t lie. I would’ve went upstairs if I were him

Absolutely beautiful ❤

Wonderful movie touched my heart.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Good movie short!!!👍💯😢

I mean if I see something spooky, I’m staying elsewhere. She’s a fine woman though.. Touching ending🎉!

Türkçe altyazı lütfen

Was not s horror. It eas a dhort film on guilt and not being able to face illness and death of a loved one. Seeing her mother everywhere but we were made to think it was a man.

Junk pfft don’t quit ur day job chief

Not for me

I didnt like it but I was expecting a Horror short

Why I thought this was Jessica biel playing the starring role 😂

So, we've got 1 honest comment and 1 paid comment. And now, we've got mine... This was really stupid.

Far too many horror movies just use the plot of "I'm a girl and that's scary!"

not really sure how i feel about this short. i def didnt like the way she spoke nasty to her loving dog, and its horrid when someone doesnt want to see a family member when their dying. 🤔

Wth why did she talk to her dog that way man??? Jeez

As scary as a second Trump Presidency

This was a waste of time! Stupid! It wasn't a horror film, i don't know what the heck it was!

Hate it

Lousy film👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

I watched this not knowing what it was about. I wouldn't consider it to be a horror film in the traditional sense but more of a film about the horrors of grief. The film was beautiful, as was the acting.

I think I am like a cat don’t what someone to see me dying

Awesome film and cinematography. I loved it! This is what horror is all about.
