Good grief, this was amazing. The sound design to the soundtrack and the seem less acting from everyone to death’s creaking bones and the dragging of the sythe was masterful!!
One of the very best depictions of Death on film , ever ! A philosophical rumination worthy of Horatio ! The actors - splendid performances ! Voiceover of Death - like a shaman beating his drum ! Lighting - the very background of suspense ! Direction - steady as she goes, Cap'n ! I've seen this film twice, and I'm sure I'll see it many more times. It's also a morality tale , and Jon , I will definitely try to be a good boy and stay on the nice side of 'he who scrapes metal' ! All the best !
This was insanely tense, and masterfully shot. Some good things did come out of the Pandemic, and this was one of them. Thank you kindly to all who made this happen. Those awards were well deserved, and I hope to see more in the future :) Have a fantastic day!
This drama was so creepy and captivating that I had to view it again, noticing things which I overlooked the first time round. There is much left to the imagination, but it is made clear that something very dark has been manifesting in this man's life.
This was something else.... Brilliant. Suspenseful and had you wondering right till the end.... Gotta love The Grim Reaper.... Fabulous voiceover. I'd imagine him sound just like that ⚰️
Mate this is sick! I've seen a lot of low budget short films that just look cheap but this is class , wouldn't have believed you if you told me it was only made for a couple of grand , the colour grading, lighting, sound design are all A++
This was stunning. So well shot, very creepy, amazing sound and design and really makes you think. This could make an incredible feature film. You have talent in both writing and directing. Keep up the amazing work.
Worthy of the awards! I hope one of them was for sound design, it was superb. I subscribed and rang the bell. I admire Koontz for his ability to bring hope and redemptive themes into even the most horrific stories. Now I'll have to admire Smith the same way! Was an unexpected surprise. Well done!
Thank you to all that made this. Incredibly involving, so atmospheric and acted brilliantly. The twist at the end was priceless. Thank you so much. Bring on more please.
I keep returning to this film, everything in this film is great, the actors , the music , and the lighting, everything is so good, thank you again , wish you and everyone that worked on this a great future and all the success ❤
Finally something that looks as realistic and less fantasyish. I like how they made the Spirit of Death look. Like a very simplistic and dark.....nothing super crazy. It was really good.
Absolutely amazing the acting the directing and producing totally top notch... cant believe this is a short small budget film..truly up there with the Hollywood blockbusters..well done to all those involved in making this mesmerising movie 👍 thumbs up
Awesome! Finally something with suspense, tension and uncertainty that has an actual story that was engaging and creepy as hell! So sick of the usual gory, bloody, slasher/porn version of horror. This is better than a lot of the full length movies I've seen lately. Great actors too! Keep up the good work!
This. This! Wonderful, cinematography, lighting, acting, score, and all of the incredible hard work put into this film. Bravo! I sincerely enjoyed every frame of this production!
This was an exceptionally good short film. It had a wonderfully sinister creepiness and foreboding atmosphere. Lighting, sound, locations, directing, and acting all superb. I really liked it. Bravo and thank you. 👏
Nightbreed endings used at opening. "Save me from my enemies" ❤ Ok just finished an the suprise awaiting us all omg thats hardcore! Seriously made me think how ive done ppl when young even now tryng be decent. Just great film qn writing ❤
Amazing! I have to watch it again cause i see in the comments there is a lot to miss, i probably did, but boy am i thinking about how i am living my life at the moment 😂
Man loved the shining music so intense and the greamripper looks darkness,creep,great movie well deserved those rewards the best short film i have ever seen
I like to think of a had a soul destroying nightmare hunting me I might keep more than a handgun and flashlight handy. And I certainly would NOT have a huge spooky basement😆
Well enacted and shot. But I think I'm missing something about the plot. The idea that you experience life as different people has been part of other stories before, but the protagonist doesn't go through that here. So the story comes across as: A man lingers after closing time, then leaves. Bartender drinks in the basement, then looks for something in the dark. A hood breaks in and gets shot. The story's title is, well, a mystery.
LAST ORDERS "An order" can be given by anyone to anyone, but the word "command", implies a pre-defined hierarchy in the manner that can only be given by a 'superior' to a lower-ranking person. The pub landlord had met the man at the bar twice before, and he had repeatedly warned the bartender, whose visit by Father Time could have been a vendetta, fate or destiny. Biblical proverb and many other ancient sources proclaim: "You reap what you sow." Literally, the crops you harvest are the seeds you plant, a botanical fact. Metaphorically: 1. Karma, as defined in various ways by philosophy and theology. 2. What goes around comes around, in one type of moral system. 3. Cause and effect, in the Logic of Causal Order. 4. Action and consequences, including unintended and unexpected results. 5. Action and reaction. Newton's Second Law of Motion.
Extremely lame. Don’t get talked into saying this is good because it’s blah blah blah and I’m hip for saying I like it. Story is thin, not enough info to be frightened, scared or interested. A high school kid could’ve written the story and dialogue. Go watch something that won’t make you regret having lost 21 minutes.
🟦... WAY too enigmatic for my taste,... My idea of enjoyment is not necessarily trying to guess what every part of a presentation means with no certainty forthcoming. A great deal more COULD have been done with this. ....I Couldn't even understand what THE VOICE said at the Very END!! ....Smh
I was super tired when I half watched this. Once it ended I realized that I have no idea what happened or what this was even about. The ending made no sense to me. Can someone please explain to me? Who was the grim reaper there for? What was with the diamonds? Does this guy kill people in the back and the grim reaper takes them away?
Good grief, this was amazing. The sound design to the soundtrack and the seem less acting from everyone to death’s creaking bones and the dragging of the sythe was masterful!!

I loved the Stanley Kurbrick musical references to the Shining and Eyes Wide Shut in this film.
Well spotted!

Thanks for the grade haha. Better than I got in ALevel Media
Nothing much happened and just flew right over my head 😂
So he's deaths best customer.
👍👌
I am confused
Me too
👍
❤
Hm, interesting
Tense….
Lmao. 😂. Cinematography is amazing. The story is comical. All in all a decent watch one time
Ok, agree it was well shot, acted, produced etc etc. But WTF was it about?
There's still time ,but The Witcher will maul him or whatever??:-=O😲Why!!EEEwww!!😞What??I know he's Death/ Satan.
I really hope this isnt a 21 min boring short film. Seems like it.
By horror do they mean horribly boring? This short felt really long.

Good story though if I had just 1 critique it would be the loud jarring instrument noise it doesnt fit with the video.
