I guess with such a high heartrate he would have difficulty retaining the not breathing function. Try running around for a few minutes before holding you breath and see the difference. Or he is just british
@@IGot7RevtinyArmyStayOnceBlink well he did say that you have to hold your breath for one minute for her to disappear and he didn't so maybe that's why Shes still there
@@IGot7RevtinyArmyStayOnceBlink I dont think the rules sounded like that at all. " she comes and you have to hold your breath for a minute then she'll disappear. If you hold your breath she can't get you." Nah, sorry... I just don't hear the "only YOU will be in danger and the rest of the house if fine" part. And, even if so, mightve messed up going into where she was summoned
Ok, so who else was holding your breath along with the kid? It's kind of hard to hold it for a minute with that thing bearing down on you, isn't it? Great short video. One of the best I've seen in a while. Should be a full length movie.
Thanks Thomas, yeah absolutely. It sounds easy enough, but when you're scared it's nearly impossible. Working on turning it into a feature. So fingers crossed.
Really depends on your experience in holding your breath, swimmers and climbers can do this challenge no problem, same with runners, average joe? yeah you kinda fucked.
It is a good subject for short movie, but not for full length movie imo. What would the movie be about ? A pack of teenagers holding their breath for 1,5h, with a cgi monster trying to catch them ? I dont like this hollywood type of horror movies, which got reduced just to boo-boo-boo monsters and jumpscares. Honestly, most today's horror movies could be made in a 10minute short movie.
Probably because it's all concentrated into just a few minutes instead of spread out into a full movie. And that's why short horrors going full length usually are very bad. It's way easier to come up with one or two great ideas than making a great full length movie.
Just goes to show, you don't need million dollar special effects to genuinely put the frighteners on people; just a great story, a couple of decent actors and good direction. Enjoyed this.
Dude the guy must have excellent memory??. I would straight up scare the guy who waited downstairs. Ain't nobody gonna throw the "girl will like you" card at me.
Watch the one, "I Heard It Too" I was done after that. But yet I'm here again. This one sucked 2 me and why would his friend not go with him o do it. It made no sense but the other one I named was better but you might think it's not that great. Lol
Man, that is one of the most lenient ghosts I've seen. Not only is she rather slow, but you get multiple opportunities to hold your breath for a reasonable 1 minute AND you're allowed to move while doing so while she's stuck in place
" You only have to hold your breath for a minute". "What!? Hell no! I cant do that now jus standing here." "Ok. lets see how long you can hold it... " 20 seconds. Yea, this is a bad idea. Imagine if we would've actually doneit..."
Me too. And every time he relit the candle, I was praying that we weren't going to see whatever was getting out of the tub, by creepy candlelight, standing right behind him.
I agree. I also think when she got to the stairs, the combination of her descent and the tight space heightened the suspense. I kept saying, get up! But I knew she was going to get him.
@@MattSears Haha! Yes...But I was in the house alone at night..with the extortionate price of electricity, I can't afford to be sleeping with the lights on 😂
Ah thank you so much! Yeah they were both great. Really happy with their performances. The makeup was actually VFX so i'm really happy with that comment! ha
My only complaint was this wasn't long enough! She looked so damn creepy after he fell down the stairs and she slowly peaked around the corner. I'd be dead if I had to hold my breath for a minute 😅
@Matt Sears Thanks awesome to hear. I don't know the first thing about getting all this done lol and I'm sure it's far from simple but maybe try to get ahold of Blumhouse? I'm sure that's way easier said than done though.
I feel like I’d have gotten immediately spooked with this atmosphere if there hadn’t been background ‘music’ (tones, really) in that first half. It already has a scary setting. The music sort of makes it feel like it’s telling me it’s supposed to be spooky. But I don’t need it. It’s already spooky. Even the flashlights they’re using freak me out because they’re not the kind that you can aim at something and see what you’re looking at. They’re more of an immediate space illuminator. Not really for scary adventures. So that alone gave me the anxiety I’m sure you were aiming for lol
😱That was Awesome 😳🥴🤢saving this to watch again. It's hard to hold your breath when you're scared and for one minute???with that thing in your face ...ahhh hell, forget it😢.Great horror film...❤❤❤❤
Ok. That was SO AWESOME!!! Cool concept. Great acting by the young gentlemen. Absolutely PERFECT setting for a horror flick. And the FX work on the monster was beautifully unsettling. A definite 10 on my HEEBIE JEEBIES meter. 😱😱😱👏👏👏
Many myths & legends are often rooted in some form of truth , we all know the story here , ya wanna play ya gotta pay . Remember to read the fine print if you make others play you get to play as well like it or not & man when that door slams at the end it's round two .. A most excellent short !!!! My guess is now both brothers are together again forever & we know in horror evil just does not care that your sorry .
Thanks Paul! Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah you got it. I was hinting that when Andrew plays the game, his physical body never leaves the bathroom, but his soul enters the ghosts realm until he completes the game. Mike comes to his rescue but ends up entering that realm as well.
@@MattSears Thank you Matt i did enjoy it & as you share your talents with us i as a guitarist would share a bit of my music if you care to give a listen. Just an old audio track here. Please feel free to leave a comment on my page if you like what you hear. Much appreciated. good thing my playing isn't as scary as your films . LOL Really nice writing & production on your part. ua-cam.com/video/RHj04fFTrZI/v-deo.html
….wow y’all really outdid most of the recent major horror productions with a pair of brothers and your wife. Reminded me of Mama, I loved that too. Excellent, excellent work. Edit: I have spent the last ~3h binging short horror films. This was the only one I liked so I had to come back here and say well done again.
@@rachelmckitterick that's very kind! Can't wait to show you the next one. Check out abandon us and boltcutter by bury tomorrow. They're horror music videos I've written and directed
I managed to hold my breath, unfortunately I can't say the same for my urine. That has to be one of the scariest movie monsters I've seen in years, she made 'Mama' look like Ma Larkin.
He can't hold his breath all the time, so I'm afraid that a ghost will approach him every time he breathes.😱 The child who played Andrew was good at acting.
I really like these short horror films. Seems like the creativity is much better than anything Hollywood spews out these days. Its funny to say but it almost seems like a short film with a small budget has more freedom to focus on what they’re trying to accomplish with the story. Big movies with big budgets have so many different aspects to address are constrained to work within a set of parameters. They always have people looking over their shoulders. So the movies become machine printed spectacles. Where as short films like this are the purest form of the art. Well done. I really enjoyed this one. Have to go change my underwear now though.
Thanks so much, really glad you enjoyed it! There's definitely a lot of creativity and talent out there. I'm amazed by some of the work I see on UA-cam and at festivals.

I’m just shocked he remembered the rhyme after only hearing it once
Haha, yep - i'd have to write it down.
@@MattSears I swear I said the exact same thing!!!!☺️
Anything to get that girl
But didn’t remember to hold his breath
I was thinking that too. 😅
Moral of the story: don’t give in to peer pressure.
Fr
: Or to air pressure.
NERD!!!!
Or actually try
Moral is hold breathe for 60 secs lolsss
He can actually go in there wait for few minutes, come out and tell his friend he did it.
Yeah, but than the short wouldn't be so cool. 😁
@@Frazsier-lx1gr or wouldn't be even filmed lol 💀
Sure but then there wouldn't be a story.
That wat I would have done
"mom can we have bloody mary?"
"No we have one at home."
bloody mary at home:
Bro has the lungs of a 90 year old smoker like how can he not hod, his breath for even 20 seconds
exactly
I guess with such a high heartrate he would have difficulty retaining the not breathing function. Try running around for a few minutes before holding you breath and see the difference.
Or he is just british
Ar you 10 iq? Try to not breth in this situation with 150+ heart rate when you near death..

Great to see she got the friend as well. He deserved it
That actually was Annoying. He did deserve it but the rules made it sound like she only takes the one who called for… so this was kind’ve dumb.

I would say this particular short wasn't too good.
Agreed
Ok so i can hold my breath for 30 secs but hell naw I ain't holding my breath for an entire godamn minute, i would die
I was like "bruh can't hold his breath for a minute" then i actually tried it and guess what i'll be taken by the ghost as well. 😂😂😂

@@MattSears thanks for taking the time to respond Matt. Keep 'em coming and I'll keep watching!
Ah peer pressure, the number one leading cause of teenage supernatural deaths
Normal ones too, don't forgot about the kid with the shark yikes
Dude the guy must have excellent memory??. I would straight up scare the guy who waited downstairs. Ain't nobody gonna throw the "girl will like you" card at me.
Ok girls, please let the guys know that summoning demons isn't the way to win your affection
It's not?!
in 99 percent horror stories monsters and ghosts are girls so its definetly a way to win a girls heart
I AM ADDICTED!!! award-winning short horror movies are way better than theater movies!!
A short film way better than dozens of full lenght! Fantastic job!
Love the monstrous woman. Very impressive image. Would love to see the full-length movie with this lady. She deserves more backstory and screen time.
When the second candle blows off ...all went dark,and i thought it was my phone screen problem
THIS IS SO SCARY!!‚ the way i‘m trying my best not to breath LMAOOO
Haha thank you!!! It's harder than you think
Watch the one, "I Heard It Too" I was done after that. But yet I'm here again. This one sucked 2 me and why would his friend not go with him o do it. It made no sense but the other one I named was better but you might think it's not that great. Lol

This should've been a 2 hour movie it's waaaaay to excellent to be such a short movie the cast is very talented poor poor Andrew
Thanks Jeffrey! I'd love to turn this into a feature. I'm working on a script atm, so fingers crossed I can bring it to you soon.
@@MattSearsplease do! I loved how scary this one was and I would love for you to make a longer version!
holy fuck no don't give them ideas please
I was thinking the same exact thing!
SHut up
Mike telling Andrew he needs a bath is a fun little laughing moment, I personally enjoyed that 😌
Amazing job, Matt. It was well scripted, well acted, great sfx/cgi- even the foley sound was great! I agree this should def be a feature film ❤
Thank you Peanut Taco Muffin (great name btw). Really appreciate the kind words. Fingers crossed we can make it soon.
@@MattSears thank you! Lol. I have faith- this is one of my favorite shorts in a long time. Best of luck!!
One of the best short horror films I've ever seen. That's saying alot. I've watched close to a thousand if not more literally. Great job
Tight storytelling. Nothing was wasted or extra, and the monster's makeup was perfect. Well done all around.
Agreed, the makeup/ fx were excellent for an independent short!
i zoned out for over a minute when he was getting ready to do it and I think I missed nothing
I swear that ghost be like wtf i can't believe these kids are actually so stupid to fall for my trap😂
You guys are truly amazing...This was one of the best and scariest short horrors I have seen in a good while. Keep up the good work, Bravo!
Thank you so much Tina! Very much appreciated. Hope to be back with another short soon!
The least realistic thing about all this is the fact that he remembered that McSh*t word for word, cuz I sure as hell couldn't do that.
"I don't want to do this anymore."
"Okay. Seems like a bad idea anyways."
Lady Beneath: "Hey!! No fair!"
The End
The good ending
" You only have to hold your breath for a minute".
"What!? Hell no! I cant do that now jus standing here."
"Ok. lets see how long you can hold it...
" 20 seconds. Yea, this is a bad idea. Imagine if we would've actually doneit..."
I agree with some of the other commenters - this should be a full-length film! This was excellent and very frightening!
really this was kinda like a 3/10 on the scary scale or whatever
(edit) but i do agree it should be a full-length film it would be great
I must admit that i managed to hold my breath for 30 seconds
Mine is 50 seconds
I barely made it to 60 seconds
Catch Your Breath and The Sky by Matt Sears --> never trust a "friend!" Both are excellent stories. Go Matt!!
Thank you!!! Go Debbie!!
Awesome short. The whole concept was well thought out. The buildup was compelling, and you really stuck the landing, so to speak.
Thank you! It was a concept i'd been working on for a while, so that's great to hear. Thanks for checking it out and the kind words.
@@MattSears You're welcome Matt, and my pleasure. I'm looking forward to seeing more.
As soon as that candle went out I HELD MY FUCKING BREATH

I absolutely agree!! This was making my heart pitter patter. I could hear it throug my headphones! This is truly a masterpiece. ❤️❤️❤️
@@MattSears tyhis shit was ass
don't lie to people
Really enjoyed this short film, I think “The Lady Beneath” was terrifying, loved the way her hair was moving, really nightmarish! 👍
Thank you Dante! Glad you mentioned that. A lot of hard work went into that hair haha.
@@MattSears It was very well done.. Mad hair.
I agree. I also think when she got to the stairs, the combination of her descent and the tight space heightened the suspense. I kept saying, get up! But I knew she was going to get him.
Agree, her floating hair was amazing!
Incredible! I can hardly believe this is only nine minutes long. It felt both much longer and much shorter. So well done.
Thank you Christine! So glad you enjoyed it.
@@MattSears I'm going to have to wait til daybreak to watch this fully!.
@@Oakleaf700 That's cheating!
@@MattSears Haha! Yes...But I was in the house alone at night..with the extortionate price of electricity, I can't afford to be sleeping with the lights on 😂
@@Oakleaf700 Ok yeah that's a fair point. Just use candle light....by the bathtub.....and then blow one out and see what happens.
love the play on red light green light holding the breathe and if he doesn't she gets to move.. GENIUS

A pleasure catching up to this one. It earns all the views! More excellence from the Sears crew!
Hahaha thank you!!! This is defo one of my favourites, so glad you enjoyed it.
the scariest thing in the short is that someone is paying the water bill at a vacant house
That design of Monster... is soooo impressive *___* Absolutely horrific (in a good way). Bravo!
Thank you!! Worked hard on the look of her, really glad you liked it.
He keeps telling him to wake up, as he's coughing lol
