More than scared, i was feeling sad for the old man that he was bound to stay in that condition just for her sake. He could not leave even if he wanted to.
Why sad for a murderer? The mf old man was responsibile for death of many care taker (as it has been implied ) in last scene, he has no compunction for his deeds, he is a monster like his dead psychopathic wife, both are to be equally blamed, he could sacrifice his own life an save innocent girls who came for him, both will go to hell
Sadly, this is a spot on, accurate, depiction of a lot of the home bound elderly are living. I quit home healthcare and went into the military because of houses just like this. The elderly were neglected and/ or in dire poverty stricken, vermin infested dwellings. Most cases were either heartbreaking, horrendous or both. That work absolutely broke my spirit...
Great work, very detailed and very well done.
I'm not trying to joke about any of this, but the last part, was there a pun intended?
"Who will look after me?"
What a haunting ending. Well done!
We knew from the beginning that there was to be a terrible end to a super cute and nice girl. The rotten squalor that the elder man lives in…reality for many seniors worldwide. Everything about this clip was very well done, including the acting. Thank you.
Unbelievable how much the sound contributed to the mood of this film. Give the sound crew and editor a raise!
Man, I really didn't want that poor girl to die, even though you knew it was coming!
Very well done short, kudos! Why is this guy not listed on IMDb?
Great movie short, I became concerned for both characters. The old man's stubbornness and her desire to help save him from himself. Sad and creepy.
My mama used to do work with elders in poorer parts of a nearby city. She has so many stories, and a lot of them really break my heart. God, we as a society really need to work on supporting and respecting our elders and helping them be okay with accepting support.
Sorry you can't afford it because the increase of migrants. You can't have both, the money supply is to little to help all at once, and of course we have Ukraine. Well our trusted leaders know exactly how to priorize.
@@reinereine1896you truly are indoctrinated!! The richest country in the world who find billions of dollars to send to Israel.... A new sucker is born every second ... When you 👉 you get the gist....
This is a fantastic take on the ghost story genre. It was effective. You genuinely feel for the old man and the case worker.
The apartment set fit the situation and was accurate on what elder neglect could look. Props to make-up as that legvwas gnarly.
The story take was the strong point and the two leads nailed it. The whole vibe was effective.
Great job to James Kennedy and all involved. You felt the shot of that chair.
Peace.
JEEZ THE WAY I JUMPED WHEN I SAW THE WOMAN IN THE DOOR WAY AT 9:13 I LITTERALY HAD TO LOOK AWAY. THIS IS SO SCARY AND WELL DONE BRAVO!!!!!
Amazing acting and storytelling through and through. I’m surprised the government hasn’t sent a whole SWAT team to this mans house regarding how many carers have disappeared. You can’t just keep sending lone women there 😭
She is just lovely. Wonderful performances. They played off one another remarkably well.
What a charming young girl! She was.
Both actors stole my heart
THANK YOU FOR NOT USING LOUD MUSIC FOR A JUNP SCARE IN THE DOORWAY! So much more effective how it was!! 🙌🙌🙌
9:23 THIS SHIT THE CRAP OUT OF ME I LITERALLY JUMPED.
ANDD THERESS NOT EVEN A SOUND EFFECT IT WAS PURE SILENCE.
pure horror cuz thats what would it be like in real life if ghosts just decided to show up :0
Bravo!!!! That was the best Ghost Movie Ever!!!! I have grown tired of movies about ghosts, then Maggie comes along and Turns it up to 11!!! Great Job!!!!
This was really different and unique horror short from others, i feel pity for both old man and young lady with helping nature 😊
Horror or not, this was excellent acting in this feature ...two thumbs up plus my two big toes which gives it four up all the way around, again EXCELLENT
Hey all *ALTER* fans 🙋♀️❤️
Hi
❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was great. Gave me monster house vibes lol 10/10
Poor old man. Poor girl too ):
well done as a carer i can tell you that this was very well done
This has to be one of my favourites from Alter so far. What a terrific story and excellent acting from both. Love everything about it.
it's hard leaving someone we love even if that love is hurting us ... both of them is condamned by love , he can't leave her and doesn't care about his health because to him it's not worthy after her and she is crazy about him and do all her best to keep him with her ...we can see that she turned to something evel and that she became his curse but all what I see is that she's the cursed one ... love it ALTER it reminds me of my dad when my mom passed away in 2007 he kept talking about her like she is present , he couldn't marry or even think about it after her , he even sold every thing because to him if mom wasn't there nothing worth keeping ...those days we convinced him to marry but he is living her lost again like it was yesterday because of that ...
WoW! What a fantastic story! I felt so sorry for the old man 😔...forced to live in filth because he was unable to care for his house or himself and having to do the evil spirit of his dead wife's bidding!! 😮
Great short!❤
Dang, I really liked Sandra. She didn't stand a chance though. Also makes me wonder if he can leave to seek medical care.
poor gal only wanted to help... she didn't deserve that fate
Incredible acting! Scary and heartbreaking all at once! I really enjoyed this film a lot.
Interesting. It reminds me of a “ghostly” relationship between Paul and Annie, in Stephen King’s, “Misery”!!!!
Def been Altered after watching this! Great job!
wow. setting character chemistry color grade all fantastic. felt as if I were. watching a Hollywood film. 10/10
Excellent short horror film, my congratulations! 👹👏
Incredible, incredible acting omg. What a story.
One of the better ones I've seen them post lately. It's definitely a new favorite of mine and a tragic one for sure.
This was one of the best short movies I've seen. The subtleties are what really made the film for me. The cinematic choices regarding music score, the use of the ticking timer, and that moment when he turned off his hearing aid to foreshadow! WOW!!!! ART!!!
Bro is like: “this is fine”
This was FANTASTIC!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Wow... That was intense... A really good one, good camera work, lighting, actors. And damn... 9:24 was so subtle bug good... damn...
This is a really "bloody" good one! Good job😊
I really like the film! Nice!
Chilling. Well done
The set was great, very well done!!
What a lovely wife he had... Well done horror movie! Intense atmosphere! 👍
This one was really good!!! 😃
Great short film, great all.
That was AWESOME!! Now, that's what u call Horror & Art. ALTER NEVER DISAPPOINTS!!❤❤
Cinema-worthy! Excellent scenario, story line and acting
That was really good! Thanks.
Just brilliant!!
That man was one of the best actors I’ve seen in a long time. Tell him for me
I'm so thankful that I stumbled across Alter few mths ago... Recommend to all my friends and family..keep it up loved this one .
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good story, excellent vibes with the environment, and some A+ acting.
It was incredible. Love the story
Wonderful acting, real suspense and a great story
Wow this was fantastic! Well done to everyone involved in this production because absolutely every part of it was just perfect.
This deserves lots of awards 👌
Thoroughly enjoyed that. Well Done !!
Terrific acting on both actors ****camera and music was just amazing **** wonderful performance…enjoyed ❤️🌹❤️
If I was him I'll just accept her help, and she's nice and kind to him
it doesn’t seem like maggie will allow that…
@@bipolarbear9163stupid maggie
Love this one! Cinematography is so spot on from beginning to end! Especially the black and white film noir. 15:22
Sometimes loneliness is the better option.
Intense!!! Brilliant!
In Bharat, we eat a noodles called MAGGIE.
In Holland and Barrett we eat chewable vitamins
In Thimur, we dont
Yes in INDIA we do
is that what you call them
and believe me my friend it's daamn spicy.@@anthony7490
No. Fight. You can fight it.
WOW!!! THIS IS EPIC!!!
Oh this was excellent 👏 👌 👍 Super acting and set. ❤
It’s wild with the amount of times he has called and the amount of home health care nurses that have come and never returned, you would think they’d be concerned 😭 overall this is heartbreaking
I felt bad for the man but if I was the girl, I would've just asked Maggie if she was Ok with me tidying up so nobody else might come there and try taking her hubby away from her? As soon as I saw him talking to a spirit, and when he called and said nobody's been coming there, that it had something to do with the spirit offing the nurses who also tried getting him help? This kind of reminds me of "Monster House?" Also, when are ppl going to stop threatening someone right where they're at where something bad can happen to them? She should've left, went back to her manager and explained the situation? Maggie's probably OK with the nurses until they start trying to make that phone call? Even if Maggie loved him when she was alive, she doesn't now? She's trying to keep him trapped there for her selfish benefit?
maggie was the nurse
this is giving Monster House vibes. I really like this short, the dynamics with the characters were a mix of depressing and intriguing.
Bravo!! This was amazing!!! Keep ip worh the good work. Maggie is brilliant ❤❤❤
Wow - powerful. Well done!
Gripped from start to finish ❤
Outstanding!!!
Alter always has me jumping outta my sear scared😮😮😮
My grandfather always said, ''Don't watch your money, watch your health.''
So one day while I was watching my health, my grandfather stole my money.
Short horror the best
i once knew a tall one who was pretty good
Yeah that was more sad than anything. 🔥 🔥 🔥
When the acting Is great, the short Is great too, 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
😰 (Gasping shockingly) Maggie?!! My good gods. 😢😢
Interestingly kinda similar to another short film you uploaded this month, Leech. I really enjoyed both.
EXCELLENT !!!!
I loved this
LOVED IT .
My heart is broken for Mr Tom Harrow, the maggots in his leg wound just as a lure for Maggie(Margaret) to get prey from caregivers and nurses.
she sounds like she is from South Africa☺beautiful
Although she was caring and trying to be helpful. Sometimes it's best to mind the business that, minds you. Especially, if you hearing bumpi😮ng around in a setting as such.
Other than that..... Great horror short film indeed!!!
The effects were, BLOW MY MIND
ALTER. I EFFIN LOVE YOU
Well that was disturbing. I mean, very.
Love your videos
This is a genuine horror movie.
Very good, very grim. Well done.
Magical !
How awesome!
Outstanding acting.
Ooooh 😮
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
So well done 🏆
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Too good ❤ but sad to see the old man in such a condition where he can’t even move out ♥️
This was deep. ❤
Uma poltrona causando medo! Excelente. Thank you.
So his dead wife's a ghost and he just sits on his couch while his carers get killed by the dead wife?! Fat lot of use he is when Sandra was in pain
This man is A WONDERFUL, AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL ACTOR❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
