Always loved the "nuclear family horror" concept, for whatever reason
You should watch We Need to Do Something
I LOVED THIS!!! It was so spooky and I appreciate the "happy" surprise at the end. It was a genius balance between a clear, non-ambiguous story, and a story that leaves us with a bit of mystery about where the game came from. I think this was my favorite alter so far!
but....the wife should have feed them his penis. The best part is the penis
So agree!!
"Dad cheated" has double meaning meaning here 😅 But with a different thumbnail the Plottwist would have been less obvious
Whait. There was only two women in the house. And one of them is his daughter!! 😮😮😮😮 So did he…. was cheating with her? `thats why she said sorry?
@@SketchTurnerZero "Cheated" as in "he cheated (broke the rules) in the game". Idk about whether he cheated on the other in real life too, I guess that is up to interpretation.
Written on the box at the end "For all Ages!" LOL! I can't imagine how much darker this could have been had the couple's children been younger, but this was a superb short film where the horror lies within the family's dysfunctional relationships.
Exactly! I saw that too & couldn’t imagine a little child playing that omgggg
That was a blast.
I love playing tabletop games but sometimes people can really get hurt and at times arguments can ensue as a result of the outcome. This film takes these ideas to the maximum level and it works. I liked that it also looked at the idea of how we can be pressured to do what we don't want to do. You'll make a great lawyer. Maybe but unlikely if you don't want to be one.
"It's just a stupid game" is usually said when things go awry. Competition is good yet can have a cost too. I think can be seen between the sister and brother.
The film also explores the more harmful emotional games of adulthood. Lying, withholding, and cheating are all dynamics that cause irrevocable damage.
I really enjoyed this film. Great work and congratulations to the Director Alexander Edep, the cast, and crew.
Peace.
AFUCKINGMEN DUDE!
Good small analysis.
That definitely could have been a full length movie, there are so many avenues they could have explored with just that family alone! And I assumed the game was just what their dad called the rules of their house but no it was an actual game!
I have so many questions! Where did it come from, and why them? And what were the other tasks? This was 5 stars right here 👏👏👏
I agree, this could be a great movie.
Most short films could easily be made into a movie if you think about it. I’ve even seen the concept of one (the smiling woman) made into a full movie, I don’t know if the movie is being made though I just saw an ad for it but it is possible
Agreed
but....the wife should have feed them his penis. The best part is the penis
These short film on Alter become full movies if they get enough attention! That’s what happened with Lights Out, and that really terrible movie called “The Hatred” was spawned from a short film featured on Alter (the short was way better), even Art the clown started out as a short film- keep watching this one and maybe it’ll be made into a full movie!
This was very cool! It reminds me of a dream I had about 10 years ago. There's a card game called "Trance or Pass". The deck is face down and a person draws the top card. It's some sort of scenario where if you pick trance, you go into it and once you do, you can't get out or even remember you're playing a game, and after you finish it, you get points. So burn to death might be worth 10 points. If you pick trance, you're taken away to some world where you don't remember you're playing a game but have to get burned to death. Then after it's over you're back in the real world and you get 10 points. There's some where you do something that might be hard for some but easy for others like go to a convent for an hour praying to God while some cards, like the get burned alive or get buried alive cards, just suck for everyone.
At first I thought you were talking about an actual game you’ve played and I was like hold up. What kinda drugs come wit this game that make you think it’s real lol.
@@diamondjules9 lol I thought the same thing🤣🤣
I’m just impressed how much detail you can remember from a dream 10 years ago! I can barely remember last night’s dream haha but that is creepy! It really could be made into a movie lol
Dude that should be a movie! I can totally see this being an actual game in some far-off dystopian future where you link your brain to a simulation of whichever trance you were given, and the other players can watch your turn on a screen.
So basically it’d be “Roy” from Rick and Morty but truth-or-dare flavored.
That sounds so cool! I love how detailed you was.
Moral: read ALL the rules carefully before playing the game.
P.S. Kudos!
A possible full length movie 🍿🎥 would be great!
Afuckingmen mam!
I swear this was amazing like i’m happy about the plot twist because it’s just so well planned and possibly revealed a family affair.Also the fact the box says all ages I swear that lighting said differently
If I would of yelled at my mother like that… I wouldn’t be alive to write this comment 😭
She would've made me look like the Hulk in Infinity War
@@seanpazdera6407 lmaooo 😂😂
Lmaooo me either
Sameee. . I'll be at the receiving end of her flip flops that's for sure...
@@suaier2952 lmaoo a flip flop, a switch ect 😂😂😂
Awesome concept!
SPOILER
When the daugther asks "Dad's not coming?" i felt the answer was "Dad's already at the table" LOL
So how did dude manage to walk around with no thigh bone? That's a whole game in itself.
What do you mean?... his thigh is still there in real life?
@@drinking_master she cut into a huge piece of meat that was supposed to be his leg( thigh/calf) and there was no bone in it. It was just the first thing I thought about when I saw that huge cut of meat.
I’m seeing this before watching so-
I said the same thing 😂😂😂😂
@@kd_kane9845 Mom took the bone out before cooking it, simple.
This film has a unique premise. I like the idea of making this into a feature-length movie! Well done!
This definitely reminded me of a Black Mirror episode 😏
ABSOLUTELY!!
For sure
If this dude stood up and fell over because of no leg and it ended like that would of took it to a whole new level.
This needs to be an entire movie like right now
Amazing, just plain amazing. Surely one of the best shorts in awhile.
I loved it. What a wonderful story, the actors are amazing. Can you imagine a long movie about it? Very creative, love it.
Very unique concept. Great acting, cinematography and building of suspense..with quite a twist at the end.
Good video, keep making more scary movies, you guys rock🤘.
Holy shit. That was a really great one! I totally ADORE everything about it!!!
im like actually addicted to ur channel !!
i’ve seen this before..trying to think where..?? at any rate, great short!!!❤️❤️❤️
Probably an old one, they repeat sometimes 🙃
Reminds me of a latter day Modern Family episode
yes, i remember too... watching this
Ancient Rome -
the ending felt like whatever happened in the game will repeat itself
Same. On the card in the game it said your husband had an affair. When in reality judging by the look on the mom's face and the similar way she walks off and Dad followed after he like in the game, made me think this will shortly come to reality. And both children as like in the game played similar roles. Son still doubts it all and looks at it all logically. Daughter is very emotional and speculative. Doesn't look too good for the reality after the game too.
My other theory is perhaps the mom knows about the affair and was the one to get the game to act out her rage. Because he went against the rules of "My House"
No
Awesome slow burn! Every element, every scene, every moment is effective!
was looking for one of flo riders songs but found this instead, was disappointed that it wasnt him but equally satisfied with this great short
A little bit predictable the stew part but I liked, great ending.
The stew part wasn't the twist, we all knew that.
This is totally my type of horror
All the videos in your channel are chef's kiss 💫🤞
I love the story! My only gripe with it is that it is too predictable; there was no twist for me. The only unpredictable thing was that it really was just a sick game the whole family was playing at the dinner table.
That's literally the twist
Duh. That's the twist.
And they could not get out until they completed it so they had to do awful shit to end it
As soon as I saw the mom preparing the meat I knew exactly what it was. Have I watched too many horror films?
We probably all knew, except the kids. I think that wasn't the horror for us.
That was so good I want to see more of this story.
Oh so they were playing a game! I thought they were kidnapped and forced to be there. Also love the soundtracj
6:15 thought my mans was gonna have a deeper voice, but he turned into elmo lmao
WELCOME TO MY HOUSE 😱I LOVED THIS MOVIE 😍
This one is brilliant, loved it, probably a top 3 for Short Horror.
That was fucking great... a breath of fresh air in a world of "the same old shit". Very original !!!
Black Mirror:
"Write that down! Write it down!"
Great film!! Also-- The closed caption at 5:20 “toe needle you don’t want us” instead of “turn you seem to not want us”😂
"...Have to do with that turn you dont seem to want us to know about? " sounds correct to me. Maybe we're using different sound systems.if listening through an Iphone I would say the quality had been falling off for the past few years especially if you bought it second or third hand so sound could not be up to par with other stuff. By just my opinion. 🤙😘😘
Also, yeah, not a bad short film. I couldn't pull this off
Great! Need the continue...
That was freaking awesome!!! Totally loved everything about it!!!
WooooooW
Such a crazy twist!!
I was NOT expecting that!
Holy crap when she called dinner she sounded a lot like my own mom and it was scary.
Dad's now an eye round roast!
The morale of the story is don’t play dollar store vr.
Soundtrack was chefs kiss! I love this one!
Wow!!!! That was great!!!! Thank you!!
I loved this one!! Def my favorite so far!
Great story ... Never saw the ending coming, and the actors did an absolutely wonderful job!
0:34 I *love* that retro radio. :)
I might never eat a meat-based dish again ... YIKES.
The concept could be a full movie
Wanna see a full length! Brilliant.
His wife looked at him like it’s gone happen soon 🤦🏿♂️
@2:49 a recipe for ham is shown. The meat they show right after which she is preparing is NOT ham but beef roast. Just wondering if the writer or director is vegetarian because that's a big mistake to say the least!
Great vid!
The sense of dread and tension were touchable! I liked it, a fresh idea for a well know concept (games that merge with reality).
A longer movie would be very interesting for the dynamics and family psychology, and also for a better explanation of how the game works. Good Job!
Not even gonna lie . This.. outta all alter videos creeps me tf out . Shook 😂😂
1.Você não pode imprimir uma nova carta. Todos os pedidos devem ser cumpridos. 2.Você tem a opção de mostrar ou não seu card para outros jogadores. 3.Cada Ordem deve Ser completado Dentro de 24 horas. 4. Você deve jogar suas jogadas em ordem. 5. SEM TRAPAÇA. O não cumprimento resultará em punição. 6. Deve completar todas as 15 jogadas para terminar o jogo.
I love the concept of this movie with the VR game! This would make a great full length movie in theaters!
I concur. there's great potential in this movie, providing Hollywood doesn't screw up this film.
so good
2:52 if I'm not mistaken that is beef not ham. Aha it was not beef. Great short.
I thought the same thing when I saw it, &+ didn't see the husband.
Excellent 👍
thanks 2m alter
interesting. that was really cool. enjoyed the music too
They could have just played Operation and had similar results.
As soon as I saw that pound of flesh, I knew EXACTLY what was going on
AND THEN I SAW THE ENDING
i have goosebumbs.
Boutta watch it 😁
This was exceptionally brilliant, enjoyed it very much!
That was creepy but good, thanks ALTER!👍
This would be the pinnacle of gaming and could be our future. I like how 'My House' makes us think of how something like this in a game that seems so real, what after effects could it have on our REAL lives when not playing the game. A lot of people are suspicious of their partners already, this kind of tech will make things much more complicated, for example. And would it be cheating with a fictional character in this way - in a game? So many morals to overcome, at least for the mainstream. The future sounds busy, but also very exciting imo.
I'd have ground the meat to make a more versatile and easily swallowed ingredient. I'm thinking burgers.
Damn!!! Takes the VR game in a whole different level. 👏😅
Very good, but ALTER seriously needs to stop RUINING every short with their thumbnails!
Good video, you should make vids with crypt tv
The was creepy, really liked this one!
I think it is amazing.
Yep, called it. The moment I saw he's missing and she's mincing meat I was like "yeah I don't wanna taste what she's cooking" xD
This one was good
Very enjoyable.... totally surprised at the ending. 2 thumbz up
How do I addition to be on these films !!!!
Super fun and good actors, well shot.
My favorite one so far !
THIS was incredible!!!
Cool concept. Love it!
Family game night just got real
what a twist ✨
I loved this video... Are they sure it is just a game🧐😈
Nice alter
EXCELLENT 🌹👏🏻👏🏻
Great video❣️👏👏👏🌹
Blessings to ALL~💫✨
🌛🌹🌜
Jumanji just got real!
My ?? Is when the game was over the dad says it's just a game to his daughter , but him and his wife look @ each other like he possibly is keeping something a secret. wife gets quickly after that. So is it possible he is having an affair and the "games rules" the wife has to carry out is because of his "secret?"
Great superb excellent outta this world film! Great job!
This was 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This was brilliant!!
Damn. That's a really interesting game. 😯
Lol, sick! That's why I stick to, Monopoly, Scrabble, cards, Chinese checkers, Chess, etc.. All the classic board games. May cause a little frustration, and tiffs, but not almost a nervous breakdown. 😱😂
good shit alex
Very nice 👍
ALTER....💝
Totally love it!
