I have two theories for this short film: Theory A: The three other people in this film are either figments of this guy's imagination, or people he has actually killed in the past, and he is simply reliving the memory of killing them. The end scene represents how he is a prisoner to his own mind, trapped in a continuous game of cat and mouse by his dark impulses. Theory B: The three other people in this short film are actually people the main character has killed in the past, and these are their spirits playing mind games/tormenting him, perhaps to prevent him from killing other people in the future or out of revenge. Maybe the main character is actually dead and this is his version of hell, but I feel that is a bit of a stretch.
Only explanation I can think of is, A Psycho- Not your usual serial killer! He has murdered a number of people in real life and re-visited the situations in his mind to play the cat and mouse game with his victims. A compelling storyline, good music and acceptable cinematography is what held this short film together. Yet another classic from ALTER. Thanks to the makers and no one but ALTER.
I also think the ending scene is a metaphor for how he is a prisoner to his own mind, trapped in a continuous loop of cat and mouse by his darker impulses.
Humans are the real monsters, and that's the most frightening thing about them. All we need to do is stroll around with our eyes open as life swarms with innocent killers. The protagonist played the cat's game because the monsters were inside his head, he kidnapped or dabbled in dreams and carried his monstrosity inside his mind. At the first scene he uses silence really well to increase the effect the film has on us and you can't be distracted. It has a good very dark plot to keep you engage. Even though the final act is far-fetched, this is a compelling and suspenseful short film. Still want to see one more time to understand even my own intelligence. The writing is neat, with nearly zero unwanted dialogues or scenes. ALTER always proves that he is the one who gives us a fantastic cinematic experience. Thank you.
Noor, I am sincerely blown away by your interpretation and review. You need to get out of our heads! Haha! Such a thorough and intelligent response to this film. Thank you oh so much for your feedback and for watching. There are more horror films we've made that you can find on our channel if you're interested. Also on our website, www.blueviewcinema.com. Have an awesome weekend. - Josh Taube, the director
When the psycho with a gun and feeding cat food to prisoners locked up in his cellar ISN’T the creepiest character in the film, you know you’re on to a winner. Thoroughly disturbing and wonderful too. Congratulations to the whole team involved.
I like the part where the characters do stuff and interact with eachother to move the plot forward. The fact that the camera catches all of this makes it easy to see.
i think all the alter films should be in a series on Netflix it would get them a lot of money and they can have Netflix exclusives and youtube exclusives

@@BlueViewCinema Hi Josh! You're very welcome, and wow, I am definitely going to subscribe and watch your other films; much appreciated! Wishing you all at Blue View Cinema an excellent 2021! ☮️
Ok I need a full length version of the song.... . can't be the only one... Edit: holy crap!!! The film is bomb!!! I couldn't predict till the end. 🥺 Edit 2: this is my theory.... The man is either a serial killer or a person plagued with the blood on his hands. He re-lives the torture to reminiscent the thrill of the games he played with the victim. Kind of like a morbid re-roll.
The song is called “Love Conquers All” by Arch Tremors. Thank you so much for the support! It means the world to us that you enjoyed it. Also I love your theory!
Also natsume. You should check out the original version of this film. We had to choose a different song for Alter. Curious to know your thoughts on which song you like better. www.blueviewcinema.com
@@BlueViewCinema just did. Aline by Christophe. Beautiful song. But I think I'm biased towards the Arch Tremors one you guys used in The Alter Version. My reasons being: 1. The lyrics about 4 people starting a trouble in a seemingly organised complacent situation.... mimics and plays right into the mood for the film with 4 charecters and an unanticipated change. 2. I'm a non native English speaker. But unfortunately I can't speak French. Which I guess is the case for many people. Even though it sounds exotic, I can't understand the lyrics of a French song. So it can be off putting. However, since I can understand the lyrics of the other English song it adds an element of anticipation. Like... Is this song an Easter egg to the plot? 3. The second song choice personally feels more suited to the mood of the film than the first one once that I've read the translated Lyrics of Aline. I saw the B&W version of the film too. That feels really good too!! Gave a vintage noir vibe.
@Adrian Curtet glad to hear it! The music is so hypnotic isn’t it? Hope you subscribed to our channel too! We plan to put up a couple more short films soon!
The opening song is beautiful, this is warped twisted and crazy and I loved every bit of it. I think it's like hell for him where past events keep replaying like a film on a loop to torture him but at the same time it's all in his head, amazing story thank you
@@BlueViewCinema "Update" just finished watching your film "The Groundening" holy crap If I saw a kid do that I'd run, his dad needs an exorcist.

@@BlueViewCinema thanks to you for providing us such a interesting and attractive stories ...I really fond of that.....eagerly waiting for your new stories ❣
This movie definitely is inspired partly by the William Hughes Mearns poem “Antigonish” A portion of it is on the side of the refrigerator: “Yesterday upon the stair I met a man who wasn’t there He wasn’t there again today I wish, I wish he’d go away” Consider this in your theories! He definitely is living in his own mind and the terrors there
Lori, you have no idea how happy our producer is to hear you took the time to read that poem. It's one of a couple small Easter eggs we dropped into the film! Great eye!
I love how this makes my skin crawl and my brain work at an increased rate to figure out whats going on in the video i absolutely love this great work!
OK...I get that the guy kidnapped 3 people and kept them in his basement and it appears one got out but was it the same person who beat the kidnapper guy with the lead pipe? And what of the events after the guy woke up? Was it a head-induced hallucination?
Hi Michelle! Great question! The ending demonstrates that this entire scenario was all in his head. That each person was one of his multiple personalities. He’s playing an unwinnable game with himself, hence why we call it “Cat’s Game.” There are little hints throughout that help explain. Sometimes a second viewing explains it better.
@@michellemccloy823 really appreciate your educated critique on this. We thought there could be some confusion. But we also were afraid to make it too obvious. Sometimes the extra thought or watch is more fun! Haha.
@@BlueViewCinema You're welcome! I sometimes have a producer/director mentality where I seem to overthink things and I think that life has a deeper meaning at times.
Wow, this is epic. My first thought when they all start laughing was that this is come kind of twisted role play, cos play to the extreme, and its all literally a game. Then the ending, and now what I'm thinking is this guy invaded a home, and took it over(much like the guy at the end of Unbreakable) and these were the family members he killed, and now that their gone there was no more "fun". When the guy who escaped says "your game is no longer fun, let's make it fun" it may be his psychoses reliving the event over and over like a sick choose your own adventure fantasy. Either way, the song at the beginning immediately set an eerie vibe, the main actor was excellent as were all the cast. Extremely well done.

When I saw the dead man laugh I instantly thought so he is either being haunted by his past victims or they are his demons ment to torture him all his life I'm going with the second one because of the end when he sees himself my question is is sinning worth the price you pay at life's end
My take: They all are the souls of the previous owners (different time periods)of this house who each did gruesome family killings by being driven into a madness/frenzy like state by the house, then committing suicide and are now stuck in a Limbo going through an endless loop/are just passing their time until the next occupant comes to stay and the loop gets started again.
@@BlueViewCinema Its an ambiguous ending but... Going by the timeline/the way all are dressed... The guy with the glasses seems like from the 1980's, the girl seems to be from 1960's, the guy in the white clothes seem to be from the 1940's and finally the other guy seems to be from the late 90'/00's so yeah... The latest occupant as per the timeline seems to be someone from 2020 who would be A family man/woman as usual... Someone who has a weak set of mind that the house and its long gone " residents" could easily manipulate into committing the same set of crimes they did before by killing their family and then finally taking his /her's own life. And thus they will be caught in an endless loop of cat and mouse till the next occupant will come in the next 20yrs or so
@@raghavrdxduggal oh wow. You even got it down by decade! This is really great. You should check out our other horror films. Would love for your interpretation of our film "Upp."
@@BlueViewCinema Thanks for the acknowledgement guys... Glad to know that you guys are making short flicks like these having ambiguous interpretations that can be put on by the viewer. Will surely watch more of your content.
I love it when we, the audience, think that we're getting 1 thing and it turns out to be something else. Because, opening scenes, of course you'd think: Ah, it's just that old cliche'd sick kidnapper scenario once again OK let's see what spin this particular filmaker or team puts on it. I actually viewed this 2X to pick up on things I missed the first time. Most of these horror shorts are Really Good Stuff and pschological type horror is my favorite because the scare factor & horror usually turns out to be human....a lot of times, our ownselves.

@@BlueViewCinema awwww. So it's DID. I thought it was a serial killer re-living his kills and the thrill of his victims over and over again like a morbid theatrical retake.
I felt a bit daft at first not really understanding what was going on, but now some kind soul has put me in the picture I loved the film. It could do with a few viewings so that the light of understanding comes on in your head. 💋
The song is called "Love Conquers All" by Arch Tremors. We have more shorts on our channel if you want to check them out. Thank you for watching our film!
Blue View, the intro music alone!! What a short👍🏽👍🏽💯💯 keep em coming & how many auditions did u have? That is always my question, to get such excellence in such a small time 🤗, ALTER🥰
Hi Artemis! We actually didn’t have auditions for this one. We used two veteran actors on our team. We’ve actually used the both of them in a few short films! This story was written, shot and edited within 2 weeks!
I found this so disturbing. I actually thought he was this sweet but crazy guy at the beginning who was making a really nice meal for his three cats (crazy cat guy) and then he opens the door of his victims and I am like...what???? But then he opens another door and a victim has escaped only to change up the game on him. Then I was thinking at one point...is this psychopath vs sociopath. As Crazy Cat guy didn't seem to have empathy but scary escapee victim (and his look at 5:32 mark...that was just terrifyingly chilling) seems to want to play with his toys (hence other victims) and not get bored. But then the end...I was like, "okay did he get done in by the sociopathic victim....or did that just imagine that is how he got done in? Did he get done in?" Then his eyes at the end said he was in his own hell when he saw himself and knew that he was going to have to go over and over this for penance for what he did while he was alive before he was killed off (or was he caught? and then killed?). I took it he had died based on him seeing himself and the dead victims all acting very alive and that this was his bed he made for the afterlife.
Monique I love the experience you had with our film! Sounds like you had a heck of a ride! We also have more horror films on our channel and a black and white version of the film as well!
@@BlueViewCinema I did find the film disturbing but what my first line of response was going to be was "I couldn't predict anything about this movie. Every time I thought i knew the direction it was going to go, it did something else" but then I think I was called by my son who wanted back rubs to help him sleep or maybe it was taking care of the goldfish...I don't know. What I do know is when I came back to write a comment I had lost the focused beginning train of thought and then i remembered after writing this and reading other comments and was going yo say more but then I have been commenting so much on so many films I am worried I am getting annoying to others so I just left it as the one comment. Yes, I had quite the ride with this film. You have your own channel. That could be highly dangerous for me as I already need AA (Alter Anonymous). Not sure I should add new addictions to the pile. But maybe?
I have two theories for this short film:
Theory A: The three other people in this film are either figments of this guy's imagination, or people he has actually killed in the past, and he is simply reliving the memory of killing them. The end scene represents how he is a prisoner to his own mind, trapped in a continuous game of cat and mouse by his dark impulses.

Maybe the main character is actually dead and this is his version of hell, but I feel that is a bit of a stretch.

you said it mind games, n the guy looks like Gary ridgway do u feel the same
@@jeffstevanspaul1995 There’s some resemblance, but I would say he really looks like the villain from Toy Story 2
@@cringyalienguy9787 i believ he's fatter than this guy 😂

The first thing I got was "The skeletons in his closet(Mind)"👀 🤔

Ótima indicação... refúgio cult
Obrigado por assistir!
Loved it
Thanks for watching our film!
Certified Gold!!!!!😁
Thank you for watching! So kind of you to say!
When I saw the dead man laugh I instantly thought so he is either being haunted by his past victims or they are his demons ment to torture him all his life
I'm going with the second one because of the end when he sees himself my question is is sinning worth the price you pay at life's end
No it's not. That's why I work hard to snide by the 10 every day.
The games you play after being quarantine for a year!!! 😂🤣
It's rough!
My take: They all are the souls of the previous owners (different time periods)of this house who each did gruesome family killings by being driven into a madness/frenzy like state by the house, then committing suicide and are now stuck in a Limbo going through an endless loop/are just passing their time until the next occupant comes to stay and the loop gets started again.
Love this take! Wow! What kind of person do you think will be the next occupant?
@@BlueViewCinema Its an ambiguous ending but... Going by the timeline/the way all are dressed... The guy with the glasses seems like from the 1980's, the girl seems to be from 1960's, the guy in the white clothes seem to be from the 1940's and finally the other guy seems to be from the late 90'/00's so yeah... The latest occupant as per the timeline seems to be someone from 2020 who would be A family man/woman as usual... Someone who has a weak set of mind that the house and its long gone " residents" could easily manipulate into committing the same set of crimes they did before by killing their family and then finally taking his /her's own life. And thus they will be caught in an endless loop of cat and mouse till the next occupant will come in the next 20yrs or so
@@raghavrdxduggal oh wow. You even got it down by decade! This is really great.
You should check out our other horror films. Would love for your interpretation of our film "Upp."
@@BlueViewCinema Thanks for the acknowledgement guys... Glad to know that you guys are making short flicks like these having ambiguous interpretations that can be put on by the viewer. Will surely watch more of your content.
Patiently waiting for alters first movie
Technically their company Gun Powder and Sky has already done so. It's called "Villians." It's awesome!
I love it when we, the audience, think that we're getting 1 thing and it turns out to be something else. Because, opening scenes, of course you'd think: Ah, it's just that old cliche'd sick kidnapper scenario once again OK let's see what spin this particular filmaker or team puts on it. I actually viewed this 2X to pick up on things I missed the first time. Most of these horror shorts are Really Good Stuff and pschological type horror is my favorite because the scare factor & horror usually turns out to be human....a lot of times, our ownselves.
So true! Thank you for watching our film! We have a bunch more on our channel if you're craving more!
Vincent deserves all of this
Haha yes. Yes he does!
Wow, what a crew...nice work fellas...kept me watching on the edge of my chair...almost fell off !
Thank you so much Chris! Feel free to check out more of our shorts on our channel!
Good job
Thank you John!
I didn’t get it! Someone please help 🤷🏻♀️
Hi! The ending demonstrates that this entire scenario was all in his head. That each person was one of his multiple personalities. He’s playing an unwinnable game with himself, hence why we call it “Cat’s Game.” There are little hints throughout that help explain. Sometimes a second viewing explains it better.
me either. I got lost after he opened up the third door and one victim escaped I guess.
@@BlueViewCinema awwww. So it's DID. I thought it was a serial killer re-living his kills and the thrill of his victims over and over again like a morbid theatrical retake.
@@natsumetakashi4856 I really love your take on it. Honestly that’s the best one we’ve heard so far.
I felt a bit daft at first not really understanding what was going on, but now some kind soul has put me in the picture I loved the film. It could do with a few viewings so that the light of understanding comes on in your head. 💋
Very horror short film👏
The ending was actually funny when they all started laughing
The protagonist's multiple personalities are battling for the spotlight for that person will be the one in control of his mind and actions
Nice Angel! Thanks for watching our film!
I really like short horror films. 😱😵😲
Thanks for watching our film!
Vim por indicação do refúgio cult
I almost thought there was a problem with the audio when the song kept skipping.
Not too shabby. Dude's got problems.
Dude, does have problems. Thanks for watching, Geoff!
Great job!!! Does anyone know the name of the song and who sings it?
The song is called "Love Conquers All" by Arch Tremors. We have more shorts on our channel if you want to check them out. Thank you for watching our film!
@@BlueViewCinema Thank you !!!
@2:10 , I thought there was a speaker problem with my phone😂😂
P.S: This short is basically based on split personalities, twas a good one!!
Haha! Love this! And you are dead on! We were hoping to play with you guys a little bit! We have more shorts on our channel if you liked this one!
Blue View, the intro music alone!! What a short👍🏽👍🏽💯💯 keep em coming & how many auditions did u have? That is always my question, to get such excellence in such a small time 🤗, ALTER🥰
Hi Artemis! We actually didn’t have auditions for this one. We used two veteran actors on our team. We’ve actually used the both of them in a few short films! This story was written, shot and edited within 2 weeks!
@@BlueViewCinema wow👍🏽thatz wzup..ty 4 replying, in my opinion, shorts are the best, stay safe 🙏🏽🥰
Honestly we are in complete agreement.
Now that's twisted!!
Thanks Dave! We have even more horror shorts on our channel if you want to see those too!
Yes! Truly original and fun. Just like. "Goodbye"!
Thank you, Michael! We have even more original shorts on our channel too!
Love all short films
Great stuff 👍👍👍
I found this so disturbing. I actually thought he was this sweet but crazy guy at the beginning who was making a really nice meal for his three cats (crazy cat guy) and then he opens the door of his victims and I am like...what???? But then he opens another door and a victim has escaped only to change up the game on him. Then I was thinking at one point...is this psychopath vs sociopath. As Crazy Cat guy didn't seem to have empathy but scary escapee victim (and his look at 5:32 mark...that was just terrifyingly chilling) seems to want to play with his toys (hence other victims) and not get bored. But then the end...I was like, "okay did he get done in by the sociopathic victim....or did that just imagine that is how he got done in? Did he get done in?" Then his eyes at the end said he was in his own hell when he saw himself and knew that he was going to have to go over and over this for penance for what he did while he was alive before he was killed off (or was he caught? and then killed?). I took it he had died based on him seeing himself and the dead victims all acting very alive and that this was his bed he made for the afterlife.
Monique I love the experience you had with our film! Sounds like you had a heck of a ride! We also have more horror films on our channel and a black and white version of the film as well!
@@BlueViewCinema I did find the film disturbing but what my first line of response was going to be was "I couldn't predict anything about this movie. Every time I thought i knew the direction it was going to go, it did something else" but then I think I was called by my son who wanted back rubs to help him sleep or maybe it was taking care of the goldfish...I don't know. What I do know is when I came back to write a comment I had lost the focused beginning train of thought and then i remembered after writing this and reading other comments and was going yo say more but then I have been commenting so much on so many films I am worried I am getting annoying to others so I just left it as the one comment. Yes, I had quite the ride with this film. You have your own channel. That could be highly dangerous for me as I already need AA (Alter Anonymous). Not sure I should add new addictions to the pile. But maybe?
Super 💞💞💞💞💞👍💓💞👍
Thank you for watching our film!
Wow ... WTF did I just watch! That was very, very weird. (Also very good. :) )
Thank you so much, MN! You're awesome! Feel free to check out more of our shorts on our channel!
