@@driedfl0wer i am seriously sick of these misogynistic offensive words on the internet. U can't just call someone a b*tch or else just because they are a female. (And it doesn't even matter if you are a male or a female yourself) And yea, bitch or c*nt is used about males too, but still rare compared to all the f*cking misogyny females have to deal with daily. Damn
This is a perfect example of how good execution, talented acting and skilled filmography can take a fairly run of the mill horror story to the next level and create something that stands out. Was this story original? Absolutely not. There was a storm, the lights went out, creaks and bumps and something in the dark. All things we've seen before. But this was crafted wonderfully, and I found myself getting genuine chills.
I just want to let you know, that the score and End Credits of STICKS finally have been digitally released on Spotify, Itunes and other streaming platforms.
So sorry. I give these movies all a chance. The cinematography was awesome and the set was beautiful.. I loved how everything was antique except the monitor.. But I just felt like it was so extremely predictable. Without the score it wouldn't have had much surprise. But like any artist, we all learn through our mistakes! Good luck to the makers of this film. Weird. I never say this kind of thing. I feel kinda bad. Not hating just being honest. I guess that's what the comment section is for right? ❤
The scariest part was when she hid and didn't cover her mouth. I 'bout lost it!! Lololol No, but seriously...this was GOOD!!! Thank you so much for the entertainment!!
My reaction: -jeez, a real audiophile with magnetic tape version of moonlight sonata? -A kerosene lamp?! She is old school! -What, an Ikea baby monitor? wth -Was that a skeleton stood up in the corner of the nursery? okayyyyy -Is that a coat rack? WITH ARMS? Not scared
Spoilers! Cinematography was great. Acting was well great. Audio (a big thing for me) was great. But... the story. This had all the elements of a great horror short, but it felt like it had nowhere to go. 1. She comes home and doesn't lock the front door. "Well, that's just asking to be murdered.", I thought. 2. It seemed like the device that she heard the weird noises from was like a baby monitor, but there didn't appear to be a baby. Why was that device there? It seemed like it only existed to provide an ominous sound which she immediately ignores. 3. The power goes out, and she hears a noise from upstairs. Her first reaction is to go up to check it out - without anything to defend herself? "She really does want to be murdered.", I concluded. 4. She drops an oil lamp on the floor, but doesn't seem at all concerned about whether or not it will start a fire, or if she can get it relit (in fact, she never even looks at the lamp after she falls). She just opens the door. 5. Seeing the monster (ignoring the questions of how or why a tree monster got in her upstairs room - the windows aren't broken), she doesn't shut the door, she just runs downstairs to the front door (which she didn't lock in the beginning, but now it's locked). 6. Her keys are not where she left them, because apparently the monster is baiting her to get them. Why? This creature can move around much faster than she can (since it was able to beat her down the stairs to grab her keys without her noticing it), so why not just kill her if that's the goal? So, it might have made more sense if it had been set up that as she was coming home she saw a creepy looking tree and something about it frightened her, or if she had just hit a tree with her car and it wanted revenge, or if she was a climate change denier - anything! But there was no apparent reason for any of it. Instead, the only answer that makes sense is that she's lost her mind. A person who comes home during a raging thunderstorm and thinks "I should start vacuuming!" is already half-way to crazy town, so when the power goes out, she snaps. She sees a coatrack, and it becomes a fanciful monster. I don't like this idea, because there's not a lot to support it, and I don't think that was the intention of the filmmakers. Instead, it seems like some very talented people got together to make a horror short, and figured that if they just had an unexplained monster with no discernible goals in a well done atmosphere, that would be enough. And maybe for some people it is. But it would be nice to see what this group could do with a solid story. I bet it would be amazing... :)
Thanks for doing all that typing for me! I would have made each of your points if you hadnt done it for me! The oil lamp really irked me! That, and wondering why there was a baby monitor there to begin with...? Anyway... thanks!
*Horror Movie Victim DIY* : Never lock your doors when you come home or leave home✔ Leave your blinds open day and night✔ Make sure your house has alot of windows✔ React to everything like a nieve helpless fawn✔ Always have an cell phone at 1%✔ 3rd dates are bad luck💯
I Like Turtles also: ALWAYS have sex you are sure to die...separate from your friends, especially if you just did have sex and are female ... make sure you run through a forest trying to get away, you will trip and fall - especially if you keep looking back...don’t worry though your attacker or creature will only be walking briskly as you are in a full out run...always run upstairs rather than put the front door... surely there is no way out on the second floor
Always make sure you trip over when running.. even when there's nothing to trip over. Never turn on any lights and walk through the house while it's completely dark. If you hear a noise, call out 'hello' then investigate said noise. If you see something/someone attacking somebody, instead of running away while the killer's busy with the victim, just stand there and scream. If someone's turning into a Werewolf, see above (don't run while they're turning... just stand there and scream).
Well, let me tell you, as a mom and a grandma, if the baby monitor started making that kind of noise I’d be up those stairs in SECONDS. You need to somehow make it clear that there’s no baby in there
1. I hope the director follows all constructive criticism below and goes back to studying script writing and secure more appropriate funding for next projects (picture quality, monster props, editor etc) 2. I hope the composer’s agents find much, much higher quality projects that deserve his craft and ‘guest-star’ appearances.
The quality of sound and background music is really good in this...it really makes you think of all the different elements, over and above the story and the acting, that go towards making a good piece of atmosphere film. I really enjoyed this!
Hi There!!! I just want to let you know, that the score and End Credits of STICKS finally have been digitally released on Spotify, Itunes and other streaming platforms.
This is the second short horror story I've watched in which a character apparently needed keys to get OUT of a house? Is that even a thing? Why does she have a baby monitor (and turned on) and a crib but no baby? Or at least no baby she seems concerned about. How did her keys get moved?
Fantastic surprise to hear the mind-blowing piece with Tina Guo on end credits! I truly hope it goes viral. I have to give it up to the composer for using cello + voice in such an original and haunting way (including cello as monster ‘voice!’). The melody is stuck in my head now, as it’s truly beautiful and it has a ‘language’ of its own.

Hello Shephin, i was working as light assistant for Torsten Frøstrup (Light and Sound Master).

Hi Mark!!! I just want to let you know, that the score and End Credits of STICKS finally have been digitally released on Spotify, Itunes and other streaming platforms.
I watched this twice so I’ll invest in a hopefully useful comment. Silent horror movie - the oh no, don’t go there!!!!! kind - with some strange choices (vacuum, baby monitor, keys) but it kept my interest. Only, They must have run out of money at the end as the monster looks puny and ridiculous, like it cost $5 tops to put together. The actress is a bit wooden and lifeless at times but overall maintains the illusion throughout. Finally, there’s a reason why the comments, hail the score as the true winner of the piece: it’s just awesome! I realized that it was what kept me watching (listening). Man, you have to give it up to the Scandis for superior melodies. I’m with everyone on the end credits, really chilling and unique! Thinking about it, it’s like a cheap bicycle with a Corvette engine.
Luke, my friend. How are you? I just want to let you know, that the score and End Credits of STICKS finally have been digitally released on Spotify, Itunes and other streaming platforms.
I'm not sure why people are questioning the award; you can just google it and there is proof (I did). The score is truly exceptional! Just try to watch it without it and you will see! The score has so much freight and dimension to it, and Tina Guo - she works with Hans Zimmer! - would have not agreed to appear on anything lackluster or embarrassing! What I agree could be improved is: images are grainy, and the acting is flawed (for example, when she smiles at the end), and there are problems with the premise of the plot, and plot details, and also with the monster itself. Of course this is a low budget and a passion project - but why is it a low budget? I am sure there are Danish grants available and then, there you go, you can get a better writer and effects. Don't touch the music ;)
Hi Gab JEnks. I just want to let you know, that the score and End Credits of STICKS finally have been digitally released on Spotify, Itunes and other streaming platforms.
Wonderfully made! And such compelling credit music! One must wonder about the story...I noticed there were baby toys in the living room yet the crib was empty... I wonder if the creatures is the mother's guilt over the child? Either way, lovely film!❤ Movie pros: the suspense and strategically placed scares. Cons: almost made me spill my beefaroni.
Maybe....because not all of us have the time or opportunity to just sit back and relax listening to Beethoven....? Just maybe? I mean...I love Beethoven, and if I don't play his music when I'm doing other things I'd never be able to listen to it at all, so...you know, just sayin'....
The production was very well done, but it just felt like wasted potential, given that the monster seemed to have no purpose. The short had great atmosphere, but none of the woman's actions made any sense. Even if you accept that fear/panic might lead to bad choices, she never even thinks to find another exit (which would be the most likely fear response). No purpose and unbelievable actions leave what could have been an amazing short in the "Meh" category. I'd like to see what they could do with a good story... :)
Grazie mille! Mi fa molto piacere. Mi sono divertito molto a comporre la colonna sonora di Sticks, e spero di riuscire a farla ancora più da brivido la prossima volta! Tanti saluti, il compositore.
I love housewives’ horror short... this is a gold... I’m tired up of all cliche stories with singles, kids and group of friends. This is the cliche chemistry. Why not more stories with elderly ppl, housewives....
I know a lot went in to the production of this film and it was well done but I need a little more. I have too many questions like, what was the monitor for? Where did the monster come from? And WHY is she walking backwards? Lol! I guess I liked it, I just want more of it.
@@cindyfernandez1956 With all do respect, I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or sincere as text will often coming off awkwardly just as I noticed my comment may have seemed somewhat feigned.

Absolutely fantastic Gothic score! It builds all the heart pumping freight and dynamic in the movie, that would otherwise be underwhelming. The fixes (better premise/reason why the monster is after her, who she is - a maid? a nanny? where is the baby? how the monster looks, better picture quality) were easy to execute and it's a bit sad that the team didn't fully deliver. That excluding the music of course, which is insanely good!

Hi Sheila. I just want to let you know, that the score and End Credits of STICKS finally have been digitally released on Spotify, Itunes and other streaming platforms.
its was realy good overall. I liked it. just the end destroyed it, as you show the "monster" in full frontal while its moving and the viewer could clearly see its some kind of robot with robotic movement. that few seconds destroyed the whole thing. it was better when you just showed the monster during lightning, also the shadow of the monster scene was realy good where the victim runs away speechless (that was also good acting btw). oh well, sometimes showing less is better than too much.
Why did she not run away out of the house? Is the door of the house can be locked inside using a key? Because the common door I know is it can be locked inside by just clicking the circle in the middle of the doorknob. And it can be opened inside in just one snap. Just askin.
As I was watching this , I was confused cause it says Award winning next to the title. I guess not adding that the award was for best sound is how things are done these days on UA-cam if u want more clicks !!

There are a list of questions. This did not deserve the 8 minutes it took. It could have been done in 3. You took 8. There should have been way more here. She came home, vacuumed, went upstairs, saw not scary tree monster(?), ran downstairs, hid, left hiding, died. How did that take 8 minutes to convey??? What is the point of this story? How is it scary? What the hell monster is that suppose to be? Why should we care about this woman? Why is it just in her house? What purpose does this thing have for killing people? Is it because it needs souls? Blood? Food? Is it just killing for sport? Has she offended a forest? You see? Questions with no answers and you had 8 minutes to convey some kind of a story. People have done better in 2 minutes than you’ve done with 8. Yes 8 because I don’t count your 2 minutes of credits.
As a filmmaker myself I personally think it could have definitely been a bit shorter. The pacing is just a touch too slow but it wasn't to bad that it took me out of the moment. Also, as a short film it did it's job because it left you with so many questions and it wasn't such a bad film that you didn't finish it. Short films (from what I was taught) should feel like a segment of a story. They should play out like a scene from something bigger. As long as there's enough to easily turn it into a feature then mission accomplished. Because you have so many fair questions means the film was successful. Was it a great film? That's up to the individual.
good short but i gotta ask...where's the baby. she comes home, does not go check on junior.yet there;s a monitor downstairs and one on the crib? so is there a baby or not. if so she's a horrible mom. music was classic tho!

Finally, there’s a reason why the comments, hail the score as the true winner of the piece: it’s just awesome! I realized that it was what kept me watching (listening). Man, you have to give it up to the Scandis for superior melodies. I’m with everyone on the end credits, really chilling and unique!
Thinking about it, it’s like a cheap bicycle with a Corvette engine.
Luke, my friend. How are you? I just want to let you know, that the score and End Credits of STICKS finally have been digitally released on Spotify, Itunes and other streaming platforms.
Very creepy and atmospheric. Well done.
Creepy film.. love this ❤️
I'm not sure why people are questioning the award; you can just google it and there is proof (I did). The score is truly exceptional! Just try to watch it without it and you will see! The score has so much freight and dimension to it, and Tina Guo - she works with Hans Zimmer! - would have not agreed to appear on anything lackluster or embarrassing! What I agree could be improved is: images are grainy, and the acting is flawed (for example, when she smiles at the end), and there are problems with the premise of the plot, and plot details, and also with the monster itself. Of course this is a low budget and a passion project - but why is it a low budget? I am sure there are Danish grants available and then, there you go, you can get a better writer and effects. Don't touch the music ;)
Hi there! Composer of the score speaking! You're absolutely the best Gab!!! Thank you so much for your honest opinion, it's very appreciated!!!
Hi Gab JEnks. I just want to let you know, that the score and End Credits of STICKS finally have been digitally released on Spotify, Itunes and other streaming platforms.
Nice cinematography! Music was too loud at certain parts
Wonderfully made! And such compelling credit music! One must wonder about the story...I noticed there were baby toys in the living room yet the crib was empty... I wonder if the creatures is the mother's guilt over the child? Either way, lovely film!❤
Movie pros: the suspense and strategically placed scares.
Cons: almost made me spill my beefaroni.
Hope you had the chance to save your beefaroni 😉 thank you for the review
@Kenneth Truelsen oh wow thank you so much:))) Yes, I managed to save it^^
@@Canipeville happy to hear that 😉
Why do you turn on Moonlight sonata if you're gonna vacuum? That is to listen and relax, definitely not to vacuum
It’s a part of a ritual she’s having while cleaning the place.
Dumb fucking ritual
Maybe....because not all of us have the time or opportunity to just sit back and relax listening to Beethoven....? Just maybe? I mean...I love Beethoven, and if I don't play his music when I'm doing other things I'd never be able to listen to it at all, so...you know, just sayin'....
Thought you were going a different way but nicely done.
He just wanted to hug her, oh so cute 😂
They can't never seem to get out the front door....
Cinematography, directing and sound are superb! There's only one minor thing for me, vacuuming at night seems a little unnatural.
A lot of us do it 🤷🏻♀️
This is a great vid I don’t know why people are hateing
The production was very well done, but it just felt like wasted potential, given that the monster seemed to have no purpose. The short had great atmosphere, but none of the woman's actions made any sense. Even if you accept that fear/panic might lead to bad choices, she never even thinks to find another exit (which would be the most likely fear response). No purpose and unbelievable actions leave what could have been an amazing short in the "Meh" category. I'd like to see what they could do with a good story... :)
Thanks allia 😊
Colonna sonora da brividi: x poco me la faccio sotto!!!😵😵😵👍👍👍
Grazie mille! Mi fa molto piacere. Mi sono divertito molto a comporre la colonna sonora di Sticks, e spero di riuscire a farla ancora più da brivido la prossima volta! Tanti saluti, il compositore.
I love housewives’ horror short... this is a gold... I’m tired up of all cliche stories with singles, kids and group of friends. This is the cliche chemistry. Why not more stories with elderly ppl, housewives....
I know a lot went in to the production of this film and it was well done but I need a little more. I have too many questions like, what was the monitor for? Where did the monster come from? And WHY is she walking backwards? Lol! I guess I liked it, I just want more of it.
Use your imagination to answer those questions.
D Mac Oh wow, what a brilliant idea. 🤪
@@cindyfernandez1956 With all do respect, I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or sincere as text will often coming off awkwardly just as I noticed my comment may have seemed somewhat feigned. I apologize for that as I typed in a hurry. I had truly meant to convey that in a lot of film and maybe even more so with the short film to use your imagination to fill in the gaps as to not have the story run too long. I hope I was able to explain myself better? Enjoy your viewing. 😀
D Mac Probably a little of both. You’re so right though about texts being taken out of context. I apologize too. I love these short flicks but this just didn’t connect with my imagination like most do. I appreciate your reply. ✌️😁
enjoyed the suspense. disappointed in ending. music volume bothers me but i enjoy the music. lightning was great. acting really good.
I wish the whole film was that this lady was just cleaning the house with moonlight sonata and the sound of rain in the background.
Great suspense build only to fall totally flat.
Excellent movie!
Not bad for a starter film, but a bit predictable. I like creature features with more of a bite.
Always laugh at ur fears so that fear cant overtake u
Jesus l’m obsessed with the end credits. If l listen to it every day until the day I die, l will be happy with that! Someone tell me it’s on Spotify (Spain)
Celly Perea I love you give me Tu Your Number
Hi Celly!!! I just want to let you know, that the score and End Credits of STICKS finally have been digitally released on Spotify, Itunes and other streaming platforms.
Absolutely fantastic Gothic score! It builds all the heart pumping freight and dynamic in the movie, that would otherwise be underwhelming. The fixes (better premise/reason why the monster is after her, who she is - a maid? a nanny? where is the baby? how the monster looks, better picture quality) were easy to execute and it's a bit sad that the team didn't fully deliver. That excluding the music of course, which is insanely good!
Hi there! Composer of the score speaking! You're absolutely the best Jessa!!!
@@lasseelkjaer6191 Very solid score indeed. Gave the right amount of tension and drama without going over the top. Bravo. 👍

How do you lock yourself inside a house?
I wish I could like this !,000 times. it's gorgeously haunting. The monster is so perfect. And the cello. Are you f'ing serious?
Before the film was halfway finished, It was already scarier than most of the gore fest films on you tube! Masterfully engaging.

Gorgeous film! Great pacing! Clean audio and dynamic grading. I very much enjoyed. One question though, somebody's gotta please tell me what this was filmed on. It look like black magic footage.
Curtis Carrington thanks for the feedback! It’s shot on Red One
The music is moonlight in the sanata. It's classical
Honestly, I feel like the first 24 seconds could be the entire short film, and I would have left feeling satisfied & scared. Lol
No flashlight 🔦 No butcher's knife 🔪 and ur going upstairs ? I don't even think she locked the front door ( u know THEY NEVER do 😉) . I would've waited downstairs for Mr. Sticks .. Let's do this 😠 !
I did love the music scores, and I believe this short had real potential. The monster was totally disappointing and unbelievable. This would be great with a few changes.
Hi Nova. I just want to let you know, that the score and End Credits of STICKS finally have been digitally released on Spotify, Itunes and other streaming platforms.
The musical score strongly reminded me of Hellraiser
Highfive to you!!! ;-)
I love the music. Moonlight in sanata.

Nice work man
OMG, nice movie but is scarry
Good atmosphere. 🤗😊
Thank you 🙏
When I saw the title I thought this was the short story by Karl Edward Wagner. That would make a great movie if they stuck to the story.
its was realy good overall. I liked it. just the end destroyed it, as you show the "monster" in full frontal while its moving and the viewer could clearly see its some kind of robot with robotic movement. that few seconds destroyed the whole thing. it was better when you just showed the monster during lightning, also the shadow of the monster scene was realy good where the victim runs away speechless (that was also good acting btw). oh well, sometimes showing less is better than too much.
Good film really scary.
I don't get it. Why is it called "Sticks"?
This film needs no talking....just silent run and hide!!!
Nice job 👏
Why did she not run away out of the house? Is the door of the house can be locked inside using a key? Because the common door I know is it can be locked inside by just clicking the circle in the middle of the doorknob. And it can be opened inside in just one snap. Just askin.
Cant stay in such a big house alot
As I was watching this , I was confused cause it says Award winning next to the title.
I guess not adding that the award was for best sound is how things are done these days on UA-cam if u want more clicks !!
Anyway , I learned from now on to check description page before I watch video !!
Not scary at all !!

There are a list of questions. This did not deserve the 8 minutes it took. It could have been done in 3. You took 8. There should have been way more here. She came home, vacuumed, went upstairs, saw not scary tree monster(?), ran downstairs, hid, left hiding, died. How did that take 8 minutes to convey??? What is the point of this story? How is it scary? What the hell monster is that suppose to be? Why should we care about this woman? Why is it just in her house? What purpose does this thing have for killing people? Is it because it needs souls? Blood? Food? Is it just killing for sport? Has she offended a forest? You see? Questions with no answers and you had 8 minutes to convey some kind of a story. People have done better in 2 minutes than you’ve done with 8. Yes 8 because I don’t count your 2 minutes of credits.
:O
As a filmmaker myself I personally think it could have definitely been a bit shorter. The pacing is just a touch too slow but it wasn't to bad that it took me out of the moment. Also, as a short film it did it's job because it left you with so many questions and it wasn't such a bad film that you didn't finish it. Short films (from what I was taught) should feel like a segment of a story. They should play out like a scene from something bigger. As long as there's enough to easily turn it into a feature then mission accomplished. Because you have so many fair questions means the film was successful. Was it a great film? That's up to the individual.
Did she offend a forest... Hahahahaha
Behind the Scenes Video by Niklas Due ...where is behind the scene video?
Everything was absolutely wonderful except the plot fell right in the sticks!!!
Rtyuo
I liked the set up, but, I felt as if there wasn't enough background to the story..
good short but i gotta ask...where's the baby. she comes home, does not go check on junior.yet there;s a monitor downstairs and one on the crib? so is there a baby or not. if so she's a horrible mom. music was classic tho!

The scenery was good for the setup... suspense buildup was there....I liked everything except the actual monster at the end...a bit cheesy I might add...the suspense alone was quite scary after she opened that door...but end was too easily given away...all in all,not bad...3 stars.⭐⭐⭐
SCARY😳
