Something like the end of a movie you didn't see -- "Elijah" is about an immortal monster that looks a lot like a young man. But mistaking him as the latter may cost his only friends their very mortal lives.
This is fucking incredible. So much to love about this.
I KNOW! There are so many factors that make this so good I can't decide what to comment on first!
Jude The Obscure I know right? There's something about these two that just clicks. They have similar styles, which is why I must like them so much.
I don't even know what to say, man...that was mesmerizing.
And that one continuous shot...holy shit.
YAAAAS THIRDPEW WATCHES DOM FERA
Fancy seeing you here :P
Man... How in hell do we have such similar tastes? Every time I see you on a channel I slow clap in my head and go watch all your videos again.
I am so happy to find you here. Two of my fave youtubers in the same place! :D
Very impressive continuous shot in the first half. Either you spent an entire day memorizing that, or… actually thats the only way I can see you guys being this good ^^.
James u watch Dom to? Lol
ZakAttack3008 If this didn't give you the impression that James is a fan of Dom, I don't know what will. :P

***** I have a meme for you on my google page
You talented bastard.

If you look closely, Eli is checking his watch throughout the whole sequence. He transforms at a certain hour of the night, so he's constantly worried about that and checking his watch to see how much time he has left before he changes. However, Kate and Lee changed the time on his watch, so Eli has a false idea of how much time he got left before he changes.
We then find out that whenever Eli is transforming, he loses some control of himself, so while he changes he cannot keep his mindgames on Lee, and that was the plan all along. Kate was buying time for Lee knowing that soon Eli would start changing and they would be able to escape.
Changing into what ?
@@rakadoni8403 No idea they don't show us, could be anything
This feels like the climax to a feature film... a feature film I'd pay good money to watch.
All one continuous shot for the first few minutes there, _very_ nicely done! The lighting was on point, too. It's harder than people realize to make a black and white film _feel_ right. 10/10 would Elijah again
Kind of like a prequel to Die now or live forever
I'm no film buff, but I have to say it. It took some real artistic prowess to make that interesting, without even using any special effects or explaining any of that.
feels like a prequel to 'Die Now or Live Forever'
In a facebook post he posted a script to the sequel of die now or live forever and revealed drake's real name is Elijah
I fucking love the line
"You better start sleeping with a night light, kids"
Its just great.
Oh also this was clearly really well done. No context at first, but you pick it up slowly and then you're there. And also really well acted, shot, composed, etc... Just a great skit. It's weird how good you are at horror/suspense considering you rarely do it.
Jesus fucking Christ that was spot on.
Dat Legendary Logo gate.
This was rad. I think an alternate title could be, "Die Now, or Butter Up the Booty." What I'm saying is, I liked the concept of messing with reality simply by saying stuff, and I'd love to see a more fleshed out reality of this world and that ability.
Superb, guys. Could watch a full-length film like this if you did it. The acting was great, the camera was smooth, the idea and execution was spot on. Loved it like always.
Seems like they knew a Vampire Hunter that wanted to "help" Elijah by putting him down.
God dammit, I wish this could be a movie. I really think it would have been awesome.
I loved how it was filmed all in one continuous shot as he was in control, but as soon as that was broken, it ended. Amazing job.
"Something like the end of a movie you didn't see" YES PERFECT
It's short and it's creepy and there's no exposition but you can go with it and I love it
That one shot, too…daaaamn I'm impressed
I love this, I've watched this several times now. If this was a full short or even a whole film I would absolutely see if I could buy it. Great job!
Why is this not its own 30 minutes movie!? You of all people Dom would make this the best!
This is one of the best shorts I've seen in a long time...like others are saying, would love to see a longer version of this. Simply Great.
So....I would pay to see the whole movie of this....
hi chowder
Joel Jennings that's not chowder you can clearly tell by the mooostash
This is amazing! 3 minutes and 15 seconds of one straight take! VERY well done! The acting was superb as well! Great job, Dom! Great job!
Almost 4 years later, and I just now noticed the ticking in the soundtrack. Masterful, plain and simple
Amazing! Truly remarkable! To create something that gripping/mesmerising in one continuous shot and in only 4 minutes takes serious skill
This is very clever, the one continuous shot was fantastic and I loved the variety in how you can interpret the rest of the film- i loved it a lot!
This is so amazing, everything is on point. Especially the music. I can't get past how well timed and selected it is. A+++++
Hot damn, that was incredible! Acting, sound design, lighting, editing, it was all great. I was expecting some sort of absurdist comedy sketch (which I also love) but this was kick-ass.
You're and incredible director, actor and an absolutely wonderful scriptwriter! I just love this so much
Incredible. Each new video just gets better and better. Keep up the great work!
This kind of short really shows what you can do with an image of a house and one room to film in. Brilliant work Dom!
This is amazing. Dom, your skills in filmmaking are only getting better, and I am excited for your next video. Keep doing you, Dom, keep doing you.
that was amazing, its incredible how you are able to consistently upload hilarious or dramatic masterpieces!!
This gave me chills. Brilliant job again Dom! I really want to see you make a full movie!
You are fantastically talented Dom, both as a writer and an actor
It's so hard to make an audience feel a situation is real, and you've done so completely out of context
You my friend, are what Hollywood needs!
I've been binge watching short films for the past week, and this is so good I don't really have words to describe it. Amazing stuff, and that long take that would make Inarritu proud
That was just perfect Dom, the camera work is really impressive.. needless to say that you guys are doing great acting!
This was amazing.. the lines were fantastic, each one delivered a real punch of sadistic brilliance.
my favorite short you've done!
You weren't kidding, the music really is some of your best work! Nice job!
Jesus what a mind-blowing and stunning photography. I’m overwhelmingly impressed with it . Damnnnnnnn
The whole thing was amazing! Always impressed by your acting, Dom.
How can 4 minutes be so captivating?!?!
Keep doing what you love Dom, you've got one hell of a talent.
Wow. That first shot was so well done. Great job Dom. Keep putting out content and keep doing great work!
This was actually incredibly well done. I've missed your short films. Great job, Dom!
thank you for another awesomely ha bisky short video that is just incredible i wish this was actually longer its so well made
As always, a beautiful cinematic piece. I love the one take thing you did.
Another A+ piece of work. Your acting style is so...organic. Del Toro had every right to pick you as a finalist. Great work man, this is just the beginning of greater things for you
Wow, that was amazing! I really wish you'd do more horror films because you're incredibly good at writing/acting in them. This is my new favourite, along with Die Now or Live Forever.
I'm so impressed with everything you make you and your crew are fantastic. Everything about this is great, I love how the ticking was going throughout just quietly and then gets louder at certain parts and I love that this told an entire story in just 4 minutes it's just so so good. Also holy shit was that one continuous shot incredible or what
Dude I've been watching your videos since Billy goat and I gotta say man your videos are amazing. I hope you keep doing what you do and that one day I can see one of your projects on the big screen.
Damn, that was cool as hell! Keep it coming Dom and friends!
Holy crap, this was fantastic. Dom this was perfect
Your range in genre and style is amazing! Go Dom! Congratulations!
That is incredible! Such a pity it's only 5 minutes long. I would love to know the whole story
but still this is incredible.
i am so unbelievably impressed.
Very classic feeling. I felt like I went on a time machine to hammer horror in the 30's but with modern camera work clothes etc. Very great acting too Dom and Seth and pretty lady. If only this was about 15 minutes longer :(
Very nice, the Legendary Pictures logo on the gate was very clever.
Wonderful, all of your videos are good, but your range in genre and style is amazing.
Finally!!!! Yay!! Another video! Thx Dom you made my day!
Holy crap, very good! Dom, your acting is so great because it honestly reminds me of your videos of you yelling at Reo, just less over-dramatized. Really enjoyed it, Hope you wither flesh out this concept into a full film or keep coming up with goodies like this one! So glad I'm subscribed to see these gems!
holy shit, that was awesome. Dom, your acting chops are fantastic!!
THIS is the kind of Dom Fera video we need more of.
Wow, top notch stuff again man. You have some serious talent when it comes to acting and writing.
Holy crap this is top notch! Man I want to see the rest of the movie now :D this is brilliant!
This was simply amazing!!!! Well done!!!
Fantastic acting, man. You really made it seem like that's how someone would be like in real life.
Filming most of the film in one shot really sealed the deal. Dang good job.
oooh please expand this concept, this scene was done so awesomely :D
Awesome work. Felt exactly like what I'd see out of a great movie ending.
Oh my god this is so good. The set is amazing.
Great! I just saw Nosferatu with live music last weekend so this is perfect timing.
Nice job guys!
Please make this a longer movie or a short series the idea is so coool an immortal monster who looks normal but can make you think your somewhere like if your blind or drowning. Well done it had good acting and really great music
This is amazing man!
that was so good, you impress me more and more with each video great work
A fantastic short Dom.
You should've made this a whole movie. It's fantastic.
Damn, Dom, your monster writing is incredible. First Die Now or Live Forever and now this one. Of course all your writing is great, but stuff like this really stands out to me. I'll be looking forward to everything you release as always and I'll keep my fingers crossed every time October rolls around that you'll have something for us for Halloween.
So well made and thought out soo good and this should be a movie
That was really unusual, but so damn good.
It was actually a really good example of how great of an actor you can be as well.
This is absolutely amazing
Very cool. A climax without context. I always love when I'm forced to think about a movie or short film after it's over.
Love it. Fantastic work once again.
That was very interesting. Keep up the great work!
Perfect for Halloween and just what I'd expect from Dom Fera!
Man, that was great. Was that all in one shot? I loved the acting as usual. Also, the Legendary Pictures logo in the gate was clever.
Yeah gavin
And at 3:21 in the top-right corner.
Wow dude! That was awesome!
This is amazingly done
Just noticed a majority of this was done a single shot, it didn't cut away until the very end. Intense!
This needs to be a thing.... I did read the description, but this would be a GREAT short film.
Dude. You don't post videos in forever and then you pull this?! This is like the ending to "Die Now or Live Forever" all over again! I watched that like ten times cuz its my favorite short film. Dammit Dom. I love ya. Stay you.
great work dom :) loved it
Back for maybe the 6th or 7th time. I can't even get enough. If it weren't so self-contained, and complete on it's own, I'd totally be all over a prequel, or some form of continuation to the story.
that continuous shot though.
Dude!!! So intense!!! I freaking love it! It's different and awesome!
ghaa i don't even know what to say this is just the coolest thing, i honestly cant stop rewatching it
Is Drake's watch significant in the same way? Oh man, oh man. Super excited to see more vampire stuff from this channel!
Dom, I demand a full lenght movie of this masterpiece, even a short film would be fine! I want to know the whole story behind this scene. Also, I would like to see a sequel to The End and Away, especially Away. You're one of the best at what you do.
Dominic's acting here seems to be much like that of the Ice Truck killer's in S1 of Dexter. I wonder if that has been an inspiration for this performance in any way.
Beautiful work, would love to see it in a full movie but this works so well
even the shorter ones are good my god give this man an award!!
