two criminals face to face... a thief and a murderer.I don't know why but it reminds me of what we say in Bulgaria ''The thief yells:Catch the thief!''
This movie has been in my "watch later" list for months. Now I'm asking myself, why didn't I saw this before?? Loved James Kwon Lee work, and now I'm looking forward to see his other movies!! The main character is just *chef kiss*. Such amazing actor! I would love see him playing this character again and, of course, in another movie. For sure I'll look for his work, but If someone knows him from another movie, I would love see your recommendations! The whole cast work so well, really, one of the best movies I've watched in this channel. Congrats on your work, that was amazing!
Spoiler/tip: anyone that CANT see the tear in her eye at 13:33 try changing your quality up to 1080p! I couldn’t see it all before that. I was already unsettled from playing that part over looking for it and now that I actually see the tear it’s even more disturbing. 👁
Oh my God. This was truly horrifying. And I believe it reflects the world too. The nicer one gets it worse.. And the perfect slow burn set up. Like that was damn fine writing. That end with the tear though. DISTURBING!
Wow 😳 completely threw me off. I thought something was going to come out of the picture on the wall. But nope. This is sad and disturbing at the same time
When he started dancing with her, I thought, “for the love of everything, don’t blink, please don’t blink” I had a sick feeling that she was still alive even though her joints cracking the way they did, told me she was dead.
So SAD to me...that a "crime IS A CRIME" BUT SO MUCH WORSE WAS GOING ON IN THAT MANS HOUSE!! trying to keep the love of his life alive...and we suddenly (WELL SOME of us feel bad for the robbers?) What justifies the weight of equally horrible crimes 🤔...murder to ME is of course worse .. but in the end...the murderer was NOT the one caught. Despite how hard he begged to have them look and see.
This was so good! I was so tensed up especially at the end. I felt so bad for that guy that wanted "'out" of robbing houses. Figures it'd be him that gets caught and not the other guy. I really thought the cops were going to at least go inside and check it out, but inside they just take the locksmith/thief away in the car and don't even bother going inside to check if the guy is ok. I was so mad and sad, so this was incredible story writing! 10/10 story for me, the plot was interesting, and everyone portrayed their roles outstanding. Thank you so much for sharing, very entertaining 😄👍👌
I absolutely loved everything about this, especially the acting and the premise, except for one thing: the police. Without spoiling anything, I understand that, from the writer's standpoint, those things kind of had to happen like they did in order for the story to resolve itself in this way. However, as a fan of Live PD and someone currently taking a course on Criminal Investigation, the way that the police treated the situation seemed so uncharacteristic of real-life police that it was kind of frustrating. Something about it all just really bothers me. Aside from that, this is a masterpiece.
The robber's behavior (the one that survived) seemed also unnatural to me. He said he can't pick locks, so why did he attempt to do it instead of just broking the window...
Sad and romantic ending. Beautiful classic music. I suddenly felt sympathy for the killer who 's in despair and was still in love with his dead wife. For the burglar no pity feelings. The earned end of crime full life.
This was great. I watched it 3times. And idk i dont think the wife is dead. I swear there was a tear. And her body wldnt be able to stand so well. I think she was in an accident. And he finally found the right eye needed. I aslo feel the look of the actual lock picker when he said we have the wrong address he felt his ending. The actor was so charming and cute and they broke into his home. So that maybe why we feel empathy for him. Also officer hannon knows that house is tobe stayed away from. Im sure they have got calls on sounds or something but its creepy and left alone. We all have homes like that in our towns. Loved it
@@utkarshawasthi1665 many reasons. She is being picked up moved around and lack of proper blood flow. She may be on deaths door but its my opinion. We all have a right to an opinion if you dont like mine thats fine. Im not fussing.
THIS IS THE BEST OF ALL " ALTER " FILMS; GREAT ART DIRECTOR AS WELL. ABOVE ALL, UNLIKE SO MANY ALTER MOVIE USE DARKNESS TO COVER UP THEIR LOUSY CONTENTS, YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE WHAT WAS ON THE SCREEN, TO SAY THE LEAST!
Great film! I think the tear is definitely from the thief's eye. May have been purge. When I worked at a funeral home we had a young woman with "tears" running from her closed eyes all through the wake because she was a hefty woman and had retained so much water. It alarmed some guests and others were all sentimental about it. It was sad. However, this body in the film is dry as a bone. I don't think this film is supernatural horror, but one theory I have is maybe his obsessive love has trapped the "spirit" of his dead wife into the reassembled version of herself and she sees & hears everything but is powerless to stop it.
@@ttng626 Yes. Sometimes the harder ones were young people - children, a baby. After a while, it becomes a job and you're not hardened, but you get used to it.
@BrooklynGal I see, very heartbroken for them :'( life can be so unpredictable... Thanks so much for sharing your experience and spot-on analysis of the film's ending- you truly captured the essence and emotion of the film's intention.
3:52: Wow. What a respectful robber. He either knows what it's like to be married or he is or was married. 8:38: Wait. Why fid the murderer hide if he was going to pretend that he lives there? 9:21: Oh... that's why. 😐
The burglars became victims finally. I have pity on the guy who wanted to quit. I doubt why the policeman didn't go into the house. Obviously the guy stole something from the house and the police should look for the house owner. 🙄🙄🙄
@@haytijr5823 Wait, the cops knew that the owner of the house was a crazy killer keeping a corpse in the attic and yet let him be? Why on Earth would they do that?
Were the cops crooked as well? They had the same peel off decal job as the locksmiths and they sure as hell didn't bother to secure a crime scene nor do any further investigation.
This is exactly how some not all police officer do. They really don't listen then the real criminals gets away. But there's a lot of sick people who would do a crime similar to the guy who wants to rebuild his wife after death. If he really loved her, he should of given her the love in return by letting her rest in peace.
Jose's Vapors Choice in a real situation he would have told them instead of acting crazy the way he did and they would have arrested him then went to The house. This in fiction.
Most cops would have investigated the house and made sure the person that was trying to be robbed was okay. I get they couldn’t because we wouldn’t have seen, but if the other robber explained this the person they just tried to rob was gonna kill his partner, he wouldn’t have died. I wonder how that interrogation session will go...

That’s some really great policing right there... touching the van like that... not checking on the house the guy looked like he was trying to break into... not seeing if he had any accomplice... oh yeah.... great work boys... you should get a promotion!!! Lol
The guy that was arrested was so stupid. He should've said the other burglar was in the house! I know it would've ended differently but it still made me so mad and anxious! Lol
I'm amazed nobody noticed that his "masterpiece" shed a tear when he picked her up

* Pun intended!! 😁
I still can't see it...which eye? Jim's eye?
I noticed
@@monicataylor6145 13:33 Look at her left eye.
It's not tear. It's her eyes color that make it watery look
I always find that Alter short horrors to be so much better than the full length films of nowadays
Same here.
Check out MIRROR GAZING. 9 Minutes. Terrifying.💀☠
@@oldeskoolnana7543 I will definitely check it out, thank you
Because when its full length, they take so fucking long to get to the point
ALTER was created for short attention span. Many shorts are way better than the average Hollywood feature film with a leading star. Unknowns are sometimes better.
This has the potential to be made into a full fledged movie.
Totally agreed.
Yes, is really good
thats what everyone says in every movie
I don’t think so
i am really. weird. NOT why you here then?
His "don't mind me I was just cleaning house (under the table)" line was the perfect response to their "we were just fixing the lock (several steps inside). Like, what are they gonna respond with? Good komedic reflection.
Yuki Matsuzaki (Japanese actor) who play the villain is a cutie. I feel sorry for the guy who want to quit. 🥺
Yes he was too cute and looked good in his suit.
Yes, he's to die for
he is a good villain
Instead of leaving right away, the first thief tried to get back into the house to help his friend! I guess there is honor amongst thieves.
To be fair, if he didn't try to steal the garbage bag on the way out, none of this would've happened
He felt like he got his friend killed
Amazing! In less than 15 minutes you've given us crime drama, comedy, horror, love story, and probably more! Just brilliant! Great acting and production! You continue to ALTER my life!

Jeeze that was a REAL f’d up ending. Everybody loses...including the crazy one because he’s mentally broken
He will live the rest of his life, knowing that the sewn-up corpse is not her and he cannot bring her back. The delusion will fade away eventually...
Sometimes these short films are better than actual horror movies 😳
savannah wagner 🖤☺️
Not sometimes.... Almost ever
They picked the wrong lock and the 'artist' had the sickest luck and timing
Really unlucky 😟😢
two criminals face to face... a thief and a murderer.I don't know why but it reminds me of what we say in Bulgaria
''The thief yells:Catch the thief!''
“Leftovers, from a party I hosted. That’s a shame, all this wasted meat.” 😛
Ron Villejo 😂😂😂that is not a good excuse for a bunch of chopped up body parts

It’s always the excuse I use too.

Why am I sad that the better person (out of the two) had to die!
Also, that tear creeped me out...
Sadly that's how it usually plays out in real life.
yeah, and not to mention, the real killer didn't even get caught
don’t barge into others property just like that in other words don’t be a thief
By the way, the killer's name is Tadeshi Mori. You can see it below the photograpgh of his deceased wife at 1:49!
Before getting to the end, this remind of the movie “the collector” love it! Good twist.
Izrael Labastida I remember
That movie🖤
Izrael Labastida I absolutely love the collector! And all Alter films, of course
I love those movies
You need to watch atleast in 720p to see her shedding a tear. Awesome movie overall. And the good hearted guys had to die in the end.
Spoiler/tip:
anyone that CANT see the tear in her eye at 13:33 try changing your quality up to 1080p! I couldn’t see it all before that. I was already unsettled from playing that part over looking for it and now that I actually see the tear it’s even more disturbing. 👁
Tristan S. Omg thank u so much! I went back like 5 times and was like “what tear?!” Mine was on 480 before I changed it. 👏

Awesomely written! Great story. I was hooked from beginning to end
"Left overs". 😫😩 My goodness. I would of shed a tear as well knowing he did these things.
When he started dancing with her, I thought, “for the love of everything, don’t blink, please don’t blink” I had a sick feeling that she was still alive even though her joints cracking the way they did, told me she was dead.
the ending hit bruh

That'll teach him. Don't mess with someone else's trash.
Hahaha
I understand arresting the locksmith for theft and breaking & entering, but how the heck do the cops not even look into a possible murder?
Because cops are lazy, they got one guy so they don't care
The way the cop looks at the house. He probably knew what's happening inside.
Well, damn, that's fucked
Julie Alcin cuz they are dumb fucks! That’s why!
All he had to do was say "Yeah, we tried to break in. My partner is still inside." Still, a very good short film!
Moral of the Story: Don't rob a house
So many superb character arches. Could easily be a feature film.
:-)

13:33 that tear though
Every burglar should be afraid of a psycho on the other side of the door and think twice before breaking into people's home
Right Key.. Wrong house
I’ve got to say, I’ve never seen a croquet mallet used as a murder weapon. That’s new!
