Great story and food for thought. It's interesting how the victim's father looked more and more unkempt as the punishment went on.
I'd have been drinking a toast every moment of it.
@@theblackflame4002 PERIOD
@@theblackflame4002yes because maiming and torture TOTALLY helps bring your loved one back
@@Ambelicait's not about finding a solution it's about punishment and retribution
@@sugarcane4648doing worse than what he did? and in real life he somebody coulve been framed of this then this happens to them. then what?
The fact that i felt bad for him in the middle really shows how good the actor is and how human minds can sympathize with just about anything if the person looks the right amount of miserable.
i would feel bad but remember this was only happening to him because he raped and murdered a little girl then i stopped feeling bad
It’s interesting you ended up feeling that way. When he was like “please stop please don’t do this” was probably the last words his victim said to him, any and all sympathy that had an iota of significance died. People who protest morality in favor of those who commit heinous crimes are just as questionable. The actor did amazing though kudos
I feel the same. I have empathy for anyone when they're in pain no matter who they are unless they're in that moment in front of me harming another. To the other person who flagged that empathy as questionable, I would argue that they are more questionable with their morality
i mean yeah. state sanctioned intrusion of bodily autonomy is always reprehensible. wether it be abortion bans or whatever this is.
@@sincerelyserene5666 I'm surprised this needs to be said, but the state murdering (or in this case mutilating) someone is morally completely different than a person doing it to another person. Like how a lone mass shooter is one thing, but if the President told the police to open fire on a crowd of people it would be way, way, WAY worse.
The thing that stuck with me most was how they paraded him around schools.
What happened when there was a kid or teacher who was missing limbs? Would society assume they were criminals? How long before amputees get upset? Cause one person's exsistance as another person's punishment is pretty bleak.
This is why we can’t use words such as ‘suicide’, because someone is offended. Really, if you don’t want to be offended… just watch Disney.
@daynasafranek7807 you are the only substantially offended one here which is interesting
If you really think about it I doubt they would assume they were amputees because just like in this short film. It wasn’t even the victim who kept asking for him to keep having the surgeries. I’d think majority of the victims families would keep going until there was almost little to nothing left to sustain them or dead.
No one gets released with this punishment. It’s explained as “punishment to the most severe crimes.” The thought of “they are missing (what ever body part) so they are a criminal.” Out in public wouldn’t occur.
I never thought of this at all!
There's a reason "cruel and unusual" isn't allowed. Because humanity rarely knows where to draw a line. It would take less than 20 people for this to end up claiming someone wrongly convicted, or for this to drive doctors and families to insanity.
Exactly. Heinous crimes can be committed, but there is no need to perpetuate more and more violence and insanity. It’s a scary thought that once people get a taste of that sort of thing, it’s hard to control.
It looked like the father was addicted to watching the man get mutilated.
Seeing people saying that they think this sort of punishment is a good idea makes me wonder what they would think of it happening to someone who later turned out to have been wrongly convicted.
If that someone is not related to me or care for, it would be fine obviously 😅
@@hanselbarlowe2575 Don't you see a purely logical flaw in such approach?
If you're OK with concept of mutilating innocents basing on personal preferences, the consequence is you are OK with the same directed towards yourself and ones you care of, and that is a logical contradiction.
@@GVerny how am i ok how can you twist my comment in a 360 XD? if its related to me, guilty or not such punishment is not ok. To others i couldn't care less. It's simple to understand you redid my comment entirely what an idiot
@@GVerny how am i ok god its a simple, most human trait i am displaying how did you redid my comment to a complete 360? XD
Guilty or not i don't want this happening to anyone dear to me, to others i couldn't care less.
@@hanselbarlowe2575 With all respect - all I did was pointing out the logical flaw in your egocentric approach.
As soon as you approve the idea of mutilating the innocent as a concept, that idea immediately backfires and covers all innocents, including people around you.
Just because your objection (except ones dear to me) is neglectable compared to ten billion egoists who say "except ones dear to me" and thus will be ignored.
At the beginning when he was crying, you could see the pain he felt, I honestly dont know how to feel about this concept, props to the actor you could really feel his pain
Same….
😔
Of course I'd watch this right before I go to bed.
Me rn
Me fr
Hahaha same.
Enjoyed your nightmare? 😂
Same
It's a punishment that inflicts pain on the father as well. He clearly wishes he was punished similarly and could not forgive himself for being unable to protect his daughter. He feels he needs to be there until he has suffered enough.
Interesting perspective. I doubt he wishes he was punished similarly.
Weird take... But ok.
The 4th Surgery, The Father said Please Commence instead of Please Proceed, almost to give the Doctors a subliminal order to continue working without thinking.
Thats what i took away at least
He was relaying the message via phone to the supervisor. You don’t hear the father give the order
Probably the most horrifying short film ive watched next to like one other
What was the other
@@Ambelicayour mom
The Strange Thing About The Johnsons is up there with this.
Wow. That was DARK
I don't really think justice was served here - everyone lost a part of themselves in the end.
The fact you have to point this out is depressing indeed.
I think it was personally but hey 🤷🏾♀️
At least he wouldn't be able to reoffend 🤷♂
Even the father looked much worse till the end of it, as though this way of revenge only prevented him from moving on with his life & didn't get him any closure
I think it was at first but it went too far
Anger, Resentment and unforgiveness kills us slowly, and take parts of our soul with it just as this film showed on Willie. The Father lost his soul, Willie lost his will to live. Great film with an extremely important message! Well done! 👏🏻
This has a great little Edgar Allan Poe vibe with the narration. Love it.
Horror in the deepest sense of the word. Excellent story. I don't think I've seen a film from Alter this terrifying, and not a drop of blood or gore was shown.
can you explain to me what happened at the end i don’t get it
@@bootangalang I doubt you watched the video. If you did, how could you not get it?
@@bootangalangWillie last everything meaning he can’t really feel and refuses to move or anything. The dad has WORSE depression now. And the case worker might of framed Willie
@@bootangalangare you talking about the highschool part? It’s just like they were doing earlier, each Friday he takes him to a school and shows him off
@@darkestasian6921where did the framing idea come from? Genuinely curious, I didn’t get that from it
Sometimes the punishment goes beyond the crime.. The problem is it adversely effect the victims family...Not Just the prisoner......
At least he can't hurt anyone anymore 🤷🏾♀️
@@gothictomboy3791then just cut out his arm and legs why the hell did they cut his nose his ears and tip of his tongue
@@abdelhakimkherfani6832 because he raped and killed a little girl. So why not? 💀
“Goes beyond the crime”
Nah, they didn’t go far enough in my opinion
what about the victim of this crime?
Already I’m disturbed in just the few minutes I started watching this. Just at the part where the family’s watching the surgery. And, I’m eating too!
Okay. This is going to haunt me forever now.
Brilliant, very thought provoking. The victims family poisoned themselves with their punishment of him, even though it was deserved. Great story & acting. This will stay with me 😮😮
I thought he said he didn’t do it or was that proven a lie
@@aurevoirshoshanna900 he did it he said it was the drinks fault, meaning he’s saying as a sober person that wasn’t him. That’s my take on it 😩
“Even though it was deserved” are you dense? THIS is clearly NOT a suitable punishment. It’s much, much worse than what he did. This is inhumane. The point is that THIS IS NOT GOOD.
@@illogical001 really dense yea 👍🏻
Woah... This one is heavy.. I felt uncomfortable the entire time. Very well done. Damn...
Holy moly that was dark! I found this way more freaky and scary than most of the alter videos
Great work!
Absolutely stunned by the fact that the VOA gives off the same gravitas as the ones I watch on actual true crime channels
The story line is excellent! Subtle, and intense.
Wow!! 😮 that was friggin DARK! Love it!!! That was brilliant!!! I’ve never seen anything quite like that before!! Fantastic job guys!! Bravo!
I started feeling bad for him then remembered why this is happening. I dont feel bad for him
You should feel bad for Willie, it’s kinda implied at the end that his representative was the one who mutilated the girl and framed Willie
@@joselynnkirby8841what?💀
@@joselynnkirby8841how?
@joselynnkirby8841 can you explain? I'm interested now.
@@SadieShort110 his representative at the end says ”that’s when Mr. Bingham and I visit the high schools” and Willie can’t remember murdering the girl they say he murdered, so it can be implied that his representative got Willie drunk and high and framed him
I've seen some people in the comments section say that they would be fine with this. State sanctioned mutilation is not justice. I can't believe this has to be said.
Omg I am also scrolling through these comments at the same time as you and thinking the exact same thing. 💀 These people need to be watched. Absolutely sick.
@@illogical001 Lmao the fact that your username is "illogical001" and yet you're one of the few people who actually have some sense around here. 🤣
@@illogical001For real I hope they get put on a watchlist. This is insane.
Loved the concept, absolutely brilliant!👌
Here after a short about this 🥰
Excellent story!!
I watched this one the first time around. But, this time, it made me nauseous.
This took me to a different level of pain and suffering!!!! I so applaud the writers and actors in this short ****brilliantly done*** I was so focus but yet so disturbed with feelings of continuous pain and emotion for the family *****😢
I love the disturbing and gorey videos Alter has, They're like rare gems you find scrolling through the vids...
Love your short films
I never comment on videos but my God this was insane, I feel sick and so grossed out meaning this was such a well produced production and EXTREMELY impressive. The acting, the idea, everything.
Would have been truly horrifying if after all that, it was discovered they convicted the wrong man.
A rape case trial runs more than you know.. And in beginning he already confessed he did the inhuman thing to the girl under influence
Wow, an amazing dark creepy story, with a creepy narrator telling the story of Willie. Some of those scenes wigged me out. I would like to see a part 2 of this. The cast was great in their roles to this. Never do crime unless you want to be severely punished by losing body parts.
G’day from Australia 🇦🇺
It’s refreshing to see an Aussie short film thrown in the mix!! 😃👍
I’m a true advocate for Aussie talents and this here shows we can give as good as we get!! Thanx for this today…the heavy rains allow me to stay in binge on THIS stuff all day! 🥳🎉😱😁😱😁😱😁
There are a few Australian horror shot films by ALTER. If you haven’t seen them already, I advise you check them out. Enjoy, mate.
FANTASTIC SHORT!! I ❤ IT!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK 👍 ❤😊
i love alter, these are always so good
Very strong and solid story, a potential new gem of this channel. Just pay attention to many important details of narrative, such as disruption of victim's family, synchronized with executions.
Yes, the father was looking rather weathered at the end. The girls couldn't hang...understandably.
Definitely....altered.........great acting by the actors......❤
Wow! That is truly horror!
This is a really interesting concept. Great short horror
That was COLD and SICK!!! Good clip!!!
Cold and sick is to morder someone
@@danielegarotti7884ok so it’s fine to do this in a war with them feeling everything? it’s fine to do this to an innocent person?
@@danielegarotti7884two wrongs never make a right. Now the victims family is depressed
Excellent short film! Really well done and creepy as hell!
Perfect! Manmade horrors beyond my comprehension :D
Him showing up to art class was so random, that could've been in the auditorium or something.
I swear this short movie haunts me. I'vw watched it when it first came out and ever since then, it gets recommended to me once in a while. Now this.... ;_;
Truly horrifying.
Well done. Ngl it was the most horrifying short film i've watched.
This was intense. damn Alter!
Felicidades al equipo, realmente un corto horrorifico
The vibes of this short is 'Black Mirror makes a PSA' and I love it
Now THIS is good stuff.
Her arms were cut off, her legs were cut off, her ears were cut off, her younger was cut off.
Reminds me of one of my Rimworld playthroughs.
Ha I get it!
Really great story, so thought provoking as it was haunting and eerie. If it were your child, how far would you go? How far is too far? Really interesting and definitely loved it!❤
I would let my child and the law decide that. There already being punished by being in jail bc there going to be tortured and graped by other inmates
Wonderful job ❤
idk if i can finish it seeing him so sad before the 3rd surgery i cant
don't force yourself. it's not like it's your homework. and go watch the dodo if you need to
Oh my God! Hard to watch. Very depressing. But great horror. 😱😱😱😢😢😢
Why did the hipster decline surgery?
The anesthetic wasn't local.
????
Lmao
Short film that masterfully establishes the darkest side of the victims. Detailed and comparative piece of a much more normalized situation today, but equally atrocious in any reflection, the attendance of relatives at the executions of those condemned to death. About whom a significant number were later proven innocent and in whose scenarios the only light of humanity, understanding and civilization emanated from the Catholics who accompanied them in their last moments, as has been the example of Helen Prejean and so many others.
Amen. The Most frightening part is the quote "DNA doesn't lie", perhaps not, but as we are seeing, men ams women do every day, especially for the sake of misplaced vengeance.
Wow! I'm glad that I watched this AFTER my surgery two weeks ago...😂
lol
This was incredible and should be studied in schools. Reminds me of all the batshit correspondence I received when I worked in Justice policy.
I like how original this is from the viewpoint of it being a horror film...in that stance/outlook its more of a realistic real life type of horror....like 1984 and orwellian existential angst and dread (dark films about eg death penalty/capital punishment etc or wars/horrors of war ,etc)
I sincerely I don't really know if it would be right, but deep down there's a lot of hate capable of that, even though I know it would be wrong...
He shouldn't have raped and killed that little girl 🤷🏾♀️
Ya but think of the familys. Imagine you know and the judge and jury knows that they have the killer in custody and is imprisoned for life BUT the killer won't tell anyone where the body is. Perfect fit for the family of the missing
@@anyquestions9931 at the end of the day that man still deserves to be punished. Doesn't matter if he tells them where the body is or not. The body is there but the soul is not. So it doesn't really matter if the body is found or not. It only matters that the killer is found.
@@gothictomboy3791 no doubt. But it's a battle of give and take with some prisoners. Take everything away from them, even the knowledge of where they dumped the body. Otherwise they feel like they have a 1up on their shoulders, you know what I mean.
@@anyquestions9931 I get that yeah
Horrifying 😮😮...terrible indeed !
Guys please help me find this one horror short film I watched on this channel years ago but I don't remember the name... It was about a girl and was about to go to sleep but felt someone was there in the room. When that someone ambushed her got so scared that she jumped on them and trashed their face with a torch... The scene ends with the parents of the girl at the door holding a birthday cake and her brother laying under her with his face in a pool of blood.
HELP IDK
i think its called your mom
now I want to know what it is too 😭
@@L0veIyLambsame
Now I want to know too lol
increíble!
Willy learned a lesson as old as light: Behave like an animal and you'll be paraded as one.
Very good
I wonder how did this got through to the medical board since doctors oath prevents harming human
I completely understand the desire for vengeance but what wounds does it heal?
At leat a few of them
On the bright side, the character can't re-offend, and the punishment acts as a deterrent to others.
@@angelavolkov1126there is no bright side to this
@@angelavolkov1126 Yeah I think as a victim's family I'd be demanding the "namesake" the most and stop there. That is the truest "eye for an eye" punishment these people can get. They'll completely lose any drive and reason to re-offend, at least. Maybe that's sick but I think doing those things to a little girl is so much sicker.
It doesn't, we falsely think our pain will heal in exchange for someone else's, but survivor guilt will continue. Grief will continue.
That was one of the most fucked things I’ve ever watched. Bravo
This is like if wes Anderson made a hardcore horror movie. so good
Reminds me of a nightmare in the book the stuff of nightmares
this is depressing. somewhat reminiscent of that black mirror episode, except i find that concept a bit worse because they had no memory of their crime whatsoever. very sad. people are meant to be rehabilitated, not detracted from. when the only goal is punishment, people become heinous monsters as they always have.
So Always remember Mr Bingham kids and say no to that glass of beer
I've watched this a couple of times now. Disturbing and dark concept.
This could be spun out a longer film. For example, we don't really see the effects of this on the family. It's hinted at... initially there are three members, then the daughters no longer come to watch, and the final scene is the father looking haggard as he signs off on the final amputation.
Was the father satisfied? Or did he eventually learn that nothing would ever quench the grief inside him? Did the need for revenge tear apart his family, i.e. everyone lost? How about the lawyer and the medical staff? How does it affect them to be a part of this process?
Good acting on the parts of the two leads...
Looks like the opening scenes were filmed at Pentridge, yeah?
I seen this. Really sad
A lot of people in the comments seem to be missing the point of this one. Scary.
What is the point of it
What do you think the point is?
why don't you explain it then
how are you gonna tell us we are missing the point and not tell us what the point it actually is
I'm starting to think you wanting to look or act smart when in fact you're the one who's missing the point...unless if you can't back up your point 😂
I've seen this before but can't remember if it was on this channel or somewhere else.really makes you think if they did do this to criminals.
Swear i saw this like
3 years ago
How would the audience feel if it was shown what Willie did to the murdered girl?
The expression "Two wrongs don't make a right." springs to mind.
Still doesn't make it right, in fact the father became more monstrous than Willie especially as he kept going even after his kids knew what was happening was wrong.
@@shaunmccomish8572 of course. That's why I was talking about the feelings of the audience, not about legal philosophical considerations.
I’d still be like this is wrong because this is wrong. 💀💀 Prison is punishment enough. You’re wasting your life away in a cell. How is that not already cruel enough?
@@shaunmccomish8572well according to this logic, imprisoning him would be wrong too tho.
Its interesting to see a film on a punishment that is actually widely discussed. Some countries are starting chemical/physical Castration is found guilty in a r@pe trial. But could you imagine being slowly picked apart, and while your body is healing, youre only left with your thoughts and the next surgery scheduled? That is the true tourture. Though this can be taken as a kinda barberic version, its not a bad idea to glimpse into once again, as it was a thought that was deemed "too inhumane" by the public, but opinions have changed
My arms and legs hurt
To think ...as Simple as that.
I still confused about the last of story, where was Mr. Bingham?
If you approve of such punishment, you are just as not-fit for living in human society as the people you approve this for, no difference at all
That is true this is brutal and shouldnt be done to any human being. If we started to normalize these kind of punishments who knows what would be done next? This process would be torturing for the people doing it and for the subject.
Bizarre
Forgive him. God is the Judge not human.
I've watched it some where quiet a long back... I can't remember where or is it a re upload...
That's why in the US we have an amendment against cruel and unusual punishment.
Y'all read Unwind by Neal Shusterman
8:41 is the bit that got me the most
Not certain why all in that moment
But being in the position as a medical professional who wishes to do no harm
Thats heavy even if its a short film
C'est extrêmement bien pensé . Un châtiment qui, sous des airs " d'œil pour œil , dent pour dent ", serait une torture sans fin ni issue pour quiconque, car bourreau et victime s'inverseraient . Il y a un côté Dorian Gray, où des changements physiques et psychologiques opèrent sur celui qui devient le miroir de l'âme de l'autre. C'est très dur . Brillante idée, bravo 👏👏👏👏👏
This reminds me a lot of the book series Unwind
I swear I've seen a version of this concept before on ALTER. Either this is a derivation or a re-post.
Watched Black Mirror White Bear reminds me of this a bit. Psychological death sentence.
