There's no way I would have allowed myself to be locked in an old dark abandoned building alone - regardless of what that woman promised. In 4 months i will be 2 years alcohol free. No rehab. Daily intense exercise, meditation, music, friends and healthy eating.
@tianatasha I have been clean since 18/09/11. When I saw the 'H' it brought so much back. The living as if between this world and the next, the people on the scene, the tragedies. Much respect for you on keeping it together, it ain't no easy thing. Bath now has spice and all that other rubbish street drugs. Recovering addicts in the community are often isolated and cuckooed as well as disrespected and abused by some people in authority. I was once given some 'H' which almost killed because someone mixed it with something very harmful. I was at Barnabus House on the Paragon in Bath. The television was on in the background of my grotty little room and the film 'Barrabas' was playing as it was Easter weekend. I've lost count of those moments I have had when I've seen real dirty low downs and homeless liars get help by deceit. It's like that moment in front of the judiciary when the crowd vote for Barrabas and hate Jesus instead. In my solitude that is how it has felt for me on many occasion and inside I pity those who hate me through scorn, derision, insecurity and envy.
This was amazing and is exactly what addiction is to me. I quit drinking 14 years ago and addition is hell. Congratulations on your sobriety. I hope that everyone can find their way out ❤
I know it isn't as big as 6-12 years, but I've been sober from everything since 6/30/2023. I was addicted to H and fentanyl. I went through a 30 day recovery in patient program and fortunately that was enough for me. I never thought it was possible to be looked down upon by other addicts b4 but as soon as they found out H was my DOC, the judgment started. They were "just" alcoholics, coke, and meth addicts. Never stooped to my level of desperation. Fortunately there were a few other H addicts in there with me that knew how I felt and I was grateful for them. They helped me through my own personal hell and I tried to help them as well. None of them made it through the full 30 days and ended up relapsing the scary realization I got out of my recovery (whether it's right or wrong feel free to share your outlook) is that the councelors were in it for the money. None of them gave a damn about any of us or if we relapsed or not. It was made very apparent when I saw one of my counselors a week later and they didn't even remember my name or face. Not a hint of recognition after seeing them every day for 30 days and sharing my life story with them. When you basically spend 6 hours a day with a person for 30 days you would think they would remember you a week later.
Ok seriously this was the best horror short I've seen on here. It had everything I hoped for. Good acting, a solid backstory, a frightening premise. Well done, excellent job I loved it!! Five stars!
Oh god- I was on suboxone for a few months- and I ended up trading them for goodies. I’ve been on methadone for about 7 years and am almost off now- I’ve been clean for the last 5 years, at least. It would have been- different- with treatment like this! Thanks for the film- I’m enjoying it so far, only about a quarter of the way in, but it’s really good quality, good acting, and it’s keeping me really interested in where it’s going. Thanks again- I’d like to see more from you!
Congrats on being sober. Its a tough road sometimes. :) As to things being different if this type of treatment truly existed, I still think it was 100% a lie....and a trap. The Devil only wants souls. I bet she would have still been addicted.....plus her soul would belong to him. Chilling movie tale!

For now though, I worked hard to get and stay clean, and I’m not ready to throw in the towel.

I never write in caps unless it's extremely important and I can't believe it...here comes a whole sentence in caps....THIS WAS F-ING AWESOME!!!!!! Everything about it! Actors...audio....storyline..wow! Just everything!! More please???
WOW! Thanks so much for the kind words. We really worked hard on this one. We're glad you enjoyed it! We have another film coming soon, real soon, but it isn't horror.
Absolutely amazing acting and story. This wouldve been an incredible movie. I really hope anyone who worked on this got the recognition they deserved and have gone on to do bigger things!!
WOW!!! That was actually REALLY REALLY GOOD!! I love the turn of events, that was so clever! You could have made a whole movie on that, a good 90 minutes, or hay even 82! That was great, IT LEFT ME WANTING MORE!!! I WANTED TO SEE WHAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN TO THE OTHER LADY!!! There's soooooooo much potential here!! It's kinda like Silent Hill, I LOVE THOSE KINDA MOVIES!!!
This was awesome on so many levels!!! The irony that the deal was to not do drugs... in essence, a deal with the devil to actually erase the pain of those who've already fell into the trap... BUT the REAL coup de grâce is the fact that those who took the deal were never converted, and returned knowing God existed while being damned for making the deal in the first place... YET all the others who never returned died and would be stuck there while "not meant to be". So alas we have the ironic plot curve that the "Holy woman's" sin was that she was personally damning (wiping that smug look off their faces) the souls of those who took the deal for eternity, and torturing those who wouldn't, indefinitely.... therefore NOT such a "Holy woman" AT ALL, but believing she is (passing judgement by personally casting souls into hell)! She was damned from the start, but now will most definitely be taking "a deal" of some sort after being locked in there for a taste of her own medicine 💊... 😉 So much to unpack in such a tiny package!!! 📦 BRAVO!!!! This is BRILLIANT!!!! One new short, on a VERY short list of my all time favorites!!! KEEP IT COMING!!! 🙌 🎊 👏 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
@@GraveLakeMedia Pay no mind to the negative comments. The plot is brilliant, the story well written, and acting well executed. Simple minds prefer simple dialogue, & must've gotten lost on their way over to TikTok. This flew many miles over their heads. 😅
I love this. We have free will. We make our mistakes. We either learn& stop making them, or we learn to love them, & continue to make them. Even in the fear&trembling,maybe even death, we have our free will. Mia's "Maybe.Maybe not ," and her genius of trapping the sin of pride itself( " i love wiping that smug look off their faces...this is my sin...") with the devil, was the best part of this short. Wake up, you people who think you can plumb the depths of an addicts' pain, & cure them or damn them. Sick woman. At least Mia was honest. Screw good &evil. All hail the grey area, human folly, free will,& death. A++ short, just enough special fx to keep me wide eyed&shaking! - bb
Agreed. I still think she was evil-in-disguise. A worker for the Devil. But if she wasn't officially, she was his fool. She thought she was better than others, just because she was not an addict. She found out who was smarter, didn't she. :)
This was great! Best scene? When the guy begs for her to kill him! That actor had a bit part, but he killed it! Pun intended.loved the fact that she still didn't take the deal, free will is a great thing. Also loved that karma got hers! Will be looking out for more like this!
@@timelkin838 no. By doing the drugs she didn’t alter her past. If she said no this time, it would’ve been her accepting the deal. Accepting to have her memories stolen. When she did the drugs that’s why the devil’s messenger was angered.
I’ve been to rehab, currently with 5 years clean. This was spot on about the religious part of it. At least the one I went to push God as your higher power. Made everyone partake in bible studies. I’m not saying I don’t believe in God, but it shouldn’t be the tool used for sobriety. Everyone’s is different. Find what helps them and use that.
I’ve been too. It’s a little like a cult all that Bill W nonsense. There is no need for the religion aspect. It turns off atheists or generally people who can think for themselves, or at least value being able to.
Better than most movies out nowadays!! Even the actors executed the storyline in such an effective way, this definitely needs to be a full length movie 🙏🏼😊
Excellent short! One of the very best I've watched here! This gave me some serious "Grave Encounters" vibes! I would love to see this expanded into a full-length feature! There is so much more insanity that could be done! 👍👍
Seriously do mot undertand how this has less then 100,000 views, let alone under 10 Million. This is, by far, my favorite horror shot film I have seen. I love everything about it
9 years clean here. I loved this short but I'm a little confused about the deal. So, if she had said no to the "H", what would have happened? Was the religious lady really trying to help her? I know. I feel like an idiot for not getting it.
Congratulations on your sobriety! If she would’ve said no all memories of drug use would have been erased essentially removing her mental addiction to the drug. Technically it would cure her but probably doom her to repeat the same mistakes over again with never having learned her lesson. Plus she didn’t want to lose the memories of her mom. Agatha locks her in there knowing very well she could die and it doesn’t bother her. The religious lady is only helping because she enjoys the torturous process.
Whoa ..... 😲😧😲 I cannot understand HOW you managed to peak my interest from jump, (suboxone & rehab should resonate with far too many people sadly 🤷🏼♀️) rewind, pause, rewind, bite my nails, rewind again (cuz about 6 minutes in you realize its going to be THAT good, so get your beer and blanket and start it over 😂) and how you told an absolutely fascinating and unique story, scared the living daylights outta me and made me jump, read more comments, come back to the movie and you tied it up with a freaking BOW on the end (nice twist locking Judas in the building, so not expecting that!) and you did it ALL in under 30 minutes... The plot, the effects, the acting.. the end.. this wins best short horror bar none. Im honestly stunned at how good this was, i cant even form a proper sentence or compliment to the filmmakers... It was THAT good. You deserve medal for packing that much into a 25 minute short honestly. 🏆🏆🏆 Im only sad the others i plan on binging tonite will pale in comparison. Excellent job 👏🏼 And the guy at the computer..... U didnt do much, but you did it well. 😉😂👏🏼🏆🎉
I’ve read this review several times. Of all the accolades, and some ridicule, we’ve received on this film, your take on this has made me smile the most. Thank you.
Anyone who's actually been to treatment knows they have great food and you can eat 24hrs! At least in the ones I was lucky enough to go to! 12 years sober😊
Damn. I wish I went where you did! 3 meals a day, only enough to get one serving, if you didn’t like what it was then you aren’t eating, and then 2 little snack in between Breakfast and lunch and before bed. Make you be in bed at a certain time, turn the one tv off. Twas definitely a place I did not want to go back to.
Absolutely! The place I went, nothing special by the way, always had good food available! Breakfast, lunch and dinner were by far the best though! They definitely encourage eating. When I was bad, in to drinking, I barely ate, if at all. Seems it was the same no matter your vice, at least what I saw. Happy to say I'm 7 years sober and I've never felt better. Treatment is not so bad if you actually engage, the people there ARE genuinely trying to help. Stay strong to anyone struggling, and congrats to those that have survived addiction! Be safe out there.
That was excellent all around, plot, acting and filming all of it worthy of praise. The plot was about salvation. An addict seeking to be free of that substance she uses to escape reality. Yet when faced with supernatural horrors of trapped souls and a face to face with the devil, she has to decide whether her memories ( including previous ones of her mother) being wiped is worth being free from addiction. Then watching the sadistic woman who enjoys torturing and trapping souls in the house get a taste of her own medicine..perfect.
Well, that scared the shit out of me!!!!! I wasn’t expecting it to be so scary and so great❤❤❤ fantastic concept this should be a full length film for sure !! Kudos scariest thing I’ve seen in a couple years !!!
Great movie but prob should have done more research on addiction w real addicts. Suboxone isnt swallowed like a pill, its put under the tongue to melt and will not make u loopy and sleepy. Also shed be sweaty with chills etc and withdrawing hard. Vomit muscle aches etc. she wouldnt b so uppity and ready to tour an abandoned building...trust me she'd be sitting in a corner sick as a dog
Very true. We took some liberties. She needed to be an active protagonist in this story so we didn’t have her sit in a corner and withdrawal. The Suboxone has been mentioned. We could’ve been more clear with that. Based on what we filmed you can’t tell whether or not she swallows it or puts it underneath her tongue.
Fantastic !! :-) i agree with some of the other posters here this should be made into a full length movie. Great atmosphere and the acting was very good...and i have to say the camera work and sound were top notch too well done :-)
Fascinating filming style! But one thing confused me: How was GIVING IN to the drugs something that would anger the Devil?? Wouldn't giving in to sin...be appealing to him?
Saying no would be her agreeing to erase her memory of it. So instead, she just repeated the same act so as not to change anything in her life. She didn’t let the devil have her pain and memories, but she’ll still struggle with addiction the rest of her life.
@@GraveLakeMedia Oh, I see now. So by refusing to agree to their 'method' of taking her addiction away (costs her her memories plus her soul!) ironically by doing drugs , she will struggle like a human....but keeps her soul. Interesting.
@@GraveLakeMedia The lady mentioned 100% success but only for those who came out alive because they gave into the Devil. The girl did not give into the Devil and is ...the first... to not die from fright like the others whose souls are trapped in there forever.
Being clean for 15 years now, I connect with this because I felt forced at AA and rehab. The only thing that helped me was the hospital and God all mighty. You can't force someone to be sober and be surprised they bite back when you're cruel.
Ive been addicted to heroin for years and now im addicted to fentanyl. This horror movie hits so close to home its scary. Well done. Was this made by addicts/former addicts?
Heroin wasn't my problem, but I can say I've spent substantial time the in the rooms. I met several people battling addiction and some of their stories were the inspiration for this film. I hope you can eventually find peace and balance outside of addiction.
I've been an addict most of my life, when she says "maybe, maybe not" I actually applauded! I wish more movies had the guts(lol) to tell it like it is! Its not a fairytale!

The things a person will do to get clean! This was a great short! H is that good.... it's so good it kept me hostage for ten years, functional for eight of those. Meth before H COKE AND BOOXE SAND ACID BEFORE THAT AND BACK AND BACK TO 17 Clean from heroin 21years this year....and I would have done a lot to get off all the rotating emotional coverups I needed....I would have done anything to take the childhood trauma that made turn to drugs to begin with. Lol I still would....but now we have the childhood trauma, the addiction trauma and the medical trauma thatt trumps everything to get past. Yay.
Our location manager is a police officer in the city where those buildings exist. They need to be torn down, but because of the asbestos inside it will be very expensive for the city. So for now it just stays condemned. As cool as it was to shoot there, it was by far the most unsafe environment we’ve ever filmed in.
I loved it, I was peeking through my fingers 😂 The atmosphere in the building was so creepy! Where was it filmed? I’m sure I recognise the location from somewhere…
This was filmed in an actual abandoned water treatment facility in Willoughby Ohio. The building needs razed but they’d have to spend $$$$ to remove all the asbestos first. So it just sits and rots.
Scary, intense, and I loved it! The "deal" is completely opposite of the normal expectation, and that was truly different and interesting. Because why wouldn't the devil be tricky? A+
I'm a huge horror fan. I dont know how I'm the only comment that says this short wasn't very good. Not discouraging the creators of this from continuing to continue making shorts... but this could be way better than it was. Keep working at it y'all! Get better!
I disagree, and iwouldn't change a thing in this masterpiece. It was a thought provoking plot and was executed very well. Remember, this is a short movie, so you don't get to know the characters on a deeper level, so I get you may not have a connection to them. But you can connect to the premise of salvation.
There's no way I would have allowed myself to be locked in an old dark abandoned building alone - regardless of what that woman promised. In 4 months i will be 2 years alcohol free. No rehab. Daily intense exercise, meditation, music, friends and healthy eating.
Me neither.

WOW! Thanks so much for the kind words. We really worked hard on this one. We're glad you enjoyed it! We have another film coming soon, real soon, but it isn't horror.

I agree 💯! Ready for more!
Bravo & well done! GOLD short!! Absolutely brilliant! Gratitude for your great work!🌿
Thanks!
Absolutely amazing acting and story. This wouldve been an incredible movie. I really hope anyone who worked on this got the recognition they deserved and have gone on to do bigger things!!
Thanks for the kind words. We still live in the amateur movie-making world though.
WOW!!! That was actually REALLY REALLY GOOD!! I love the turn of events, that was so clever! You could have made a whole movie on that, a good 90 minutes, or hay even 82! That was great, IT LEFT ME WANTING MORE!!! I WANTED TO SEE WHAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN TO THE OTHER LADY!!! There's soooooooo much potential here!! It's kinda like Silent Hill, I LOVE THOSE KINDA MOVIES!!!
Thanks for the compliments! Trust me, we’re trying to get a feature off the ground. 🤞🏻
@@GraveLakeMedia best of luck to ya, ill most definitely be looking out!
This was awesome on so many levels!!! The irony that the deal was to not do drugs... in essence, a deal with the devil to actually erase the pain of those who've already fell into the trap... BUT the REAL coup de grâce is the fact that those who took the deal were never converted, and returned knowing God existed while being damned for making the deal in the first place... YET all the others who never returned died and would be stuck there while "not meant to be". So alas we have the ironic plot curve that the "Holy woman's" sin was that she was personally damning (wiping that smug look off their faces) the souls of those who took the deal for eternity, and torturing those who wouldn't, indefinitely.... therefore NOT such a "Holy woman" AT ALL, but believing she is (passing judgement by personally casting souls into hell)! She was damned from the start, but now will most definitely be taking "a deal" of some sort after being locked in there for a taste of her own medicine 💊... 😉
So much to unpack in such a tiny package!!! 📦
BRAVO!!!! This is BRILLIANT!!!!
One new short, on a VERY short list of my all time favorites!!!
KEEP IT COMING!!! 🙌 🎊 👏
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Love this review! Thank you so much!
@@GraveLakeMedia Pay no mind to the negative comments. The plot is brilliant, the story well written, and acting well executed. Simple minds prefer simple dialogue, & must've gotten lost on their way over to TikTok. This flew many miles over their heads. 😅
@@OGRH 😂
I love this. We have free will. We make our mistakes. We either learn& stop making them, or we learn to love them, & continue to make them. Even in the fear&trembling,maybe even death, we have our free will. Mia's "Maybe.Maybe not ," and her genius of trapping the sin of pride itself( " i love wiping that smug look off their faces...this is my sin...") with the devil, was the best part of this short. Wake up, you people who think you can plumb the depths of an addicts' pain, & cure them or damn them. Sick woman. At least Mia was honest. Screw good &evil. All hail the grey area, human folly, free will,& death. A++ short, just enough special fx to keep me wide eyed&shaking! - bb
Thanks for the kind words!
Learn to stop or learn to love and continue- this is actually a great summary of sinning
Very low views for such a pure horror film. Love it.
Some of the best horror I've seen in a long time. Addiction is the most evil monster to ever be unleashed on the world. Just a great film all around!
Thank you!
This made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Bravo! 👏
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice ending! I was getting really tired of Ms. Sanctimonious.
Thanks! We’re glad you liked it.
Agreed. I still think she was evil-in-disguise. A worker for the Devil. But if she wasn't officially, she was his fool. She thought she was better than others, just because she was not an addict. She found out who was smarter, didn't she. :)
@@taracollins5597if She s not that stupid, break a window at the entrance and she ll be
Ok , sneak out , when your life depends on it!
And she didn't take the phone with her, so she couldn't call 911?
This was great! Best scene? When the guy begs for her to kill him! That actor had a bit part, but he killed it! Pun intended.loved the fact that she still didn't take the deal, free will is a great thing. Also loved that karma got hers! Will be looking out for more like this!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
i thought she took the deal?
@@timelkin838 no. By doing the drugs she didn’t alter her past. If she said no this time, it would’ve been her accepting the deal. Accepting to have her memories stolen. When she did the drugs that’s why the devil’s messenger was angered.
This is one of the BEST shorts I have watched in a good while. GREAT JOB
Thanks!
holy crap... Just finished it. This is top tier, well done!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
I’ve been to rehab, currently with 5 years clean. This was spot on about the religious part of it. At least the one I went to push God as your higher power. Made everyone partake in bible studies. I’m not saying I don’t believe in God, but it shouldn’t be the tool used for sobriety. Everyone’s is different. Find what helps them and use that.
Congratulations on your sobriety.
AA/NA is a cult. SMART Recovery is much better for me.
I’ve been too. It’s a little like a cult all that Bill W nonsense. There is no need for the religion aspect. It turns off atheists or generally people who can think for themselves, or at least value being able to.
That was class! Nothing scares me these days, but that had me on edge. Best horror short in years.
Finally a movie that's not afraid to make completely crazy original audio effects.
This was amazing! Great Actors, great Story, great Atmo! One of the best Short Horror on UA-cam! I love it
Glad you enjoyed it!
Better than most movies out nowadays!! Even the actors executed the storyline in such an effective way, this definitely needs to be a full length movie 🙏🏼😊
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
If that's you in your DP, you're gorgeous.
@@PoochieCollins awe Ty !!
This short horror film is actually really good I’m surprised that this is a actual master piece ❤❤❤❤❤ put ur hand if u like this short horror movie 🤚
Excellent short! One of the very best I've watched here! This gave me some serious "Grave Encounters" vibes! I would love to see this expanded into a full-length feature! There is so much more insanity that could be done! 👍👍
Thanks! And we’d love to turn it into a feature. Always exploring our options.
Scariest short i’ve seen so far, i mean i feel like i need to go to church and get blessed but this was a really sick fucking short film. Well done
Thanks!!
Seriously do mot undertand how this has less then 100,000 views, let alone under 10 Million. This is, by far, my favorite horror shot film I have seen. I love everything about it
Thanks for the kind words!
Shocked! Loved it
This is a masterpiece 💯💯💯
9 years clean here. I loved this short but I'm a little confused about the deal. So, if she had said no to the "H", what would have happened? Was the religious lady really trying to help her? I know. I feel like an idiot for not getting it.
Congratulations on your sobriety! If she would’ve said no all memories of drug use would have been erased essentially removing her mental addiction to the drug. Technically it would cure her but probably doom her to repeat the same mistakes over again with never having learned her lesson. Plus she didn’t want to lose the memories of her mom. Agatha locks her in there knowing very well she could die and it doesn’t bother her. The religious lady is only helping because she enjoys the torturous process.
Watching this with my hands over my face lol just peeking between my fingers LOL I loved this!
Yep, me too!!! 😂
Would love to put every narcissist I know in there!
🎶 Good bye, farewell, adu, adU, ADU ... 🎶
Whoa ..... 😲😧😲
I cannot understand HOW you managed to peak my interest from jump, (suboxone & rehab should resonate with far too many people sadly 🤷🏼♀️)
rewind, pause, rewind, bite my nails, rewind again (cuz about 6 minutes in you realize its going to be THAT good, so get your beer and blanket and start it over 😂) and how you told an absolutely fascinating and unique story, scared the living daylights outta me and made me jump, read more comments, come back to the movie and you tied it up with a freaking BOW on the end (nice twist locking Judas in the building, so not expecting that!) and you did it ALL in under 30 minutes... The plot, the effects, the acting.. the end.. this wins best short horror bar none. Im honestly stunned at how good this was, i cant even form a proper sentence or compliment to the filmmakers... It was THAT good. You deserve medal for packing that much into a 25 minute short honestly. 🏆🏆🏆
Im only sad the others i plan on binging tonite will pale in comparison. Excellent job 👏🏼
And the guy at the computer..... U didnt do much, but you did it well. 😉😂👏🏼🏆🎉
I’ve read this review several times. Of all the accolades, and some ridicule, we’ve received on this film, your take on this has made me smile the most. Thank you.
Anyone who's actually been to treatment knows they have great food and you can eat 24hrs! At least in the ones I was lucky enough to go to! 12 years sober😊
Congrats on your sobriety.
Wow you got lucky then 😅 the treatment center I was in just had snacks until breakfast, lunch and dinner. But the food WAS good when we did get it
Damn. I wish I went where you did! 3 meals a day, only enough to get one serving, if you didn’t like what it was then you aren’t eating, and then 2 little snack in between Breakfast and lunch and before bed. Make you be in bed at a certain time, turn the one tv off. Twas definitely a place I did not want to go back to.
Absolutely! The place I went, nothing special by the way, always had good food available! Breakfast, lunch and dinner were by far the best though! They definitely encourage eating. When I was bad, in to drinking, I barely ate, if at all. Seems it was the same no matter your vice, at least what I saw. Happy to say I'm 7 years sober and I've never felt better. Treatment is not so bad if you actually engage, the people there ARE genuinely trying to help. Stay strong to anyone struggling, and congrats to those that have survived addiction! Be safe out there.
Well none at mine. Clean 4😊
Now this was enjoyable. Acting skills were sufficient to be believable. Special effects were worked really well and finally an ending that made sense.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks.
This was soooo good!!!!!
Thanks!
The most creepiest short I have seen so far. Very creepy and delightfully scary.😜
Thanks!
My pleasure ! Hope to see more like this 😉@@GraveLakeMedia
This is so damn good...
Why hasn't this blown up?!?
This definitely gave me grave encounters vibes. Great short film.
Thanks!
This was a very good short. Im not as smart as some of the other commenters and had to watch it twice to truly understand the deal part... brilliant.
Thanks!
B@@GraveLakeMedia ki baler thanks kichui buzhi naiii bal ☹️🤐😐‼️
That was excellent all around, plot, acting and filming all of it worthy of praise. The plot was about salvation. An addict seeking to be free of that substance she uses to escape reality. Yet when faced with supernatural horrors of trapped souls and a face to face with the devil, she has to decide whether her memories ( including previous ones of her mother) being wiped is worth being free from addiction. Then watching the sadistic woman who enjoys torturing and trapping souls in the house get a taste of her own medicine..perfect.
Thanks so much for the kind words. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
We do recover. This was SPOT ON. ❤
I loved the twist at the end. Nice work.
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
Well, that scared the shit out of me!!!!! I wasn’t expecting it to be so scary and so great❤❤❤
fantastic concept this should be a full length film for sure !!
Kudos scariest thing I’ve seen in a couple years !!!
Thanks!
Great movie but prob should have done more research on addiction w real addicts. Suboxone isnt swallowed like a pill, its put under the tongue to melt and will not make u loopy and sleepy. Also shed be sweaty with chills etc and withdrawing hard. Vomit muscle aches etc. she wouldnt b so uppity and ready to tour an abandoned building...trust me she'd be sitting in a corner sick as a dog
Very true. We took some liberties. She needed to be an active protagonist in this story so we didn’t have her sit in a corner and withdrawal. The Suboxone has been mentioned. We could’ve been more clear with that. Based on what we filmed you can’t tell whether or not she swallows it or puts it underneath her tongue.
🙂 Grave lake media I ♥️ your awesome new film 💯😘
Thanks!!
I loved it so so much! I’m a big horror fan and I see every horror short film that appears on my fyp but this one is definitely one of my favourites.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
That was a GREAT ending.
Thanks!
Fantastic !! :-) i agree with some of the other posters here this should be made into a full length movie. Great atmosphere and the acting was very good...and i have to say the camera work and sound were top notch too well done :-)
Thanks for the kind words! We’d love to make a feature out of this we just need some backing.
@@GraveLakeMedia maybe a kickstarter would be a good idea :-) i would be a backer
I wish I could like this 1000x. Utterly amazing.
Thanks!
Nice. Good ending. Totally worth the time.
Thank you!
This is the best short horror film I've seen in a long time. Well done. Bravo.
Thanks!
Best horror I've seen in a VERY long while!
Thanks for the kind words!
@@GraveLakeMediaIt's indeed one of the best horror shorts I've seen since The Motorist.
It feels like one of episodes from VHS movie. Nice
Well Done Excellent short film
Thanks!
This is so much better than I thought! I actually got spooked and that doesn’t happen often, great work 🎉❤
Thank you!
*THIS NEEDS TO BE A VIDEO GAME AF!*
As a recovering addict that has had all the same thoughts she had (I’m too young and good looking and smart) this really hits home. Well done.
Thank you! We’re glad you liked it.
Who could resist the blurb for this?
It reminded me of old style amusement park dark rides such as the house of horrors in Coney Island.
Okay, that was just terrifying 😮
Ahhhhh SHIT!!! Now THAT'S the scary I'm talking about! Phenomenal job!
Thank you!
"Don't ask questions."
a minute later:
"What is this place?"
Loved this. Superior horror. Well done!! More, please?
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
This would be a good story expanded for a whole movie, a book
Thanks! Glad you think it’d be worth exploring.
Fascinating filming style! But one thing confused me: How was GIVING IN to the drugs something that would anger the Devil?? Wouldn't giving in to sin...be appealing to him?
Saying no would be her agreeing to erase her memory of it. So instead, she just repeated the same act so as not to change anything in her life. She didn’t let the devil have her pain and memories, but she’ll still struggle with addiction the rest of her life.
@@GraveLakeMedia Oh, I see now. So by refusing to agree to their 'method' of taking her addiction away (costs her her memories plus her soul!) ironically by doing drugs , she will struggle like a human....but keeps her soul. Interesting.
@@taracollins5597yea I'll keep my soul. Life doesn't last long . But after life does lol
@@jborrego2406 Agreed. Addictions are tough to beat & cravings might reappear....but they'll vanish eventually. Unlike the afterlife. :)
@@GraveLakeMedia The lady mentioned 100% success but only for those who came out alive because they gave into the Devil. The girl did not give into the Devil and is ...the first... to not die from fright like the others whose souls are trapped in there forever.
Absolutely incredible
Thanks!
Love the ending! Very unexpected!
Glad you like it!
Being clean for 15 years now, I connect with this because I felt forced at AA and rehab. The only thing that helped me was the hospital and God all mighty. You can't force someone to be sober and be surprised they bite back when you're cruel.
Very good
Very good
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome! 👍
Excellent music 🎶
❤❤ loved this
Excellent…. Wow!!!
Many thanks!
Was so impressed with this one . What will I lose ? Everthing…
Mia rly went "*then perish*" and I truly respect her for that
Very fun and engaging!
Definitely enjoy this. Thanks
You’re welcome!
This was really well done! Thank you guys!
Thank you!
Daaaaaaaaaamn karma is a mofo!!! Awesome film!!!!
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
This is terrifying! Great work!!
Thanks!
Ive been addicted to heroin for years and now im addicted to fentanyl. This horror movie hits so close to home its scary. Well done. Was this made by addicts/former addicts?
Heroin wasn't my problem, but I can say I've spent substantial time the in the rooms. I met several people battling addiction and some of their stories were the inspiration for this film. I hope you can eventually find peace and balance outside of addiction.
I've been an addict most of my life, when she says "maybe, maybe not" I actually applauded! I wish more movies had the guts(lol) to tell it like it is! Its not a fairytale!

Been sober for 2 years. Im proud of myself. I got sick of feeling sick.
Very well done. I’m usually disappointed by short horror movies, but not this time.
Thanks! Glad you were not disappointed!
The things a person will do to get clean! This was a great short!
H is that good.... it's so good it kept me hostage for ten years, functional for eight of those. Meth before H COKE AND BOOXE SAND ACID BEFORE THAT AND BACK AND BACK TO 17
Clean from heroin 21years this year....and I would have done a lot to get off all the rotating emotional coverups I needed....I would have done anything to take the childhood trauma that made turn to drugs to begin with. Lol I still would....but now we have the childhood trauma, the addiction trauma and the medical trauma thatt trumps everything to get past. Yay.
Thanks for the kind words. Congratulations on 21 years!
Wow ! That was ... scary ! Well done, cast & crew ! Where do you guys find these derelict buildings ?!!!
Our location manager is a police officer in the city where those buildings exist. They need to be torn down, but because of the asbestos inside it will be very expensive for the city. So for now it just stays condemned. As cool as it was to shoot there, it was by far the most unsafe environment we’ve ever filmed in.
Thanks for the reply. Let's see if asbestos can kill that demon lurking inside !@@GraveLakeMedia
This one legit got me scared a few times, good work!!!
Thanks!
Wow! The jump scares are top notch. My chest hurts. I’m actually sweating. Oooh this one will stick.
Glad you liked it!
I loved it, I was peeking through my fingers 😂 The atmosphere in the building was so creepy! Where was it filmed? I’m sure I recognise the location from somewhere…
This was filmed in an actual abandoned water treatment facility in Willoughby Ohio. The building needs razed but they’d have to spend $$$$ to remove all the asbestos first. So it just sits and rots.
Scary, intense, and I loved it! The "deal" is completely opposite of the normal expectation, and that was truly different and interesting. Because why wouldn't the devil be tricky? A+
Thank you!
Awesome video!
My rehab was definitely not that fun! Cool short!!
Excellent ❤❤❤best Short horror i ever seen
Thanks!!
I'm a huge horror fan. I dont know how I'm the only comment that says this short wasn't very good. Not discouraging the creators of this from continuing to continue making shorts... but this could be way better than it was. Keep working at it y'all! Get better!
Not discouraged at all. What you think makes great horror might be something we’re not fans of and obviously vise versa. It’s all subjective.
I disagree, and iwouldn't change a thing in this masterpiece. It was a thought provoking plot and was executed very well.
Remember, this is a short movie, so you don't get to know the characters on a deeper level, so I get you may not have a connection to them. But you can connect to the premise of salvation.
Thanks for the awesome sauce video! God bless us all AMEN!
Define god in a coherent unambiguous and internally consistent way and prove it exists, because this film doesn't.
This is a very good film. Kept my mind...
