The young actress will hopefully one day, grace our televisions, in a big budget film.
Her acting was immensely superb.
Thanks Kirty, we totally agree!
Same here, extremely talented actress..
Four years on, and still absolutely true.
Really
A mother was deathly terrified of public school education.
She insisted on providing maths, science, and history with her own adaptation.
Her husband's dead, "All lies!" she said, her daughter none the wiser.
Now mother's tied up, her girl unstable, and poor dad's a bag of fertilizer.
Love your poem, thanks Eric!!
Eric By Definition very nice
He was actually still breathing which was odd... like in the end when she vacuumed him he was breathing a little bit.
😂😂😂
Nice👏👏👏
Hard to believe this was a student project. Story was good. The script, music, editing, and scenery were all spot on, plus the acting was great.
Thank you Lisa :)
How old was the student?
Just wondering 😔
@@xanamontana5410 I was 24 when we made this :)
Andrea Niada woah
@@andreaniada I love it. but I'm very curious as to the meanings behind everything. It seems like I'm missing something or am I trying to read too much into it?
WHY ISN'T, "Rachel", on the big screen.....that kid has more talent than most
Kate Reed 😍😍😍😍😍😍🙌💯
I love the poem at the ending.
In the woods
In the woods is where I go
Whenever I am free
And when I go in the woods
I see the in-between
We don't know how the place works
But we do know that it's there
We all know it's the door
That opened here to there
Because that's where there is the space
That caught us in-between
The things we see right here
And the ones we haven't seen
And when we all go through that place
The world will turn around
There
Foxes fly, water is dry, and the trees are upside-down
The flies are in the sky
And the sky is on the ground
So we must keep on exploring
Until the day we doubt
But the way into nightmare
Is our only way out.
What the hell is she cooking? Cauliflower, chunks of rabbit, and eggs in the shell ?!?
Kristina Stewart psycho surprise
V B LOL
The egg moved, too😬
A British delicacy , called Blow Chunks Stew...
It's curry night !
I love these kinds of horror films. The actual existential dread instead of random startles followed by irritating characters being irritating till the next startle. Even if the dread leads to nothing I still find myself thinking about it days or even weeks later.
Thanks for the thoughtful comment zaerine, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
This gives me the chills.... it’s awkwardly creepy on a deranged but brilliant scale! We NEED a part 2 for this ASAP!!!!! If my “want” is stronger, will it make my want come true?! Cause my WANT for a part 2 is STRONG!!!!!
THANK YOU Rebecca! Your want definitely helps :D
A feature is in the works so stay tuned, if enough people want it, it will hopefully happen sooner...
me tooo
Andrea, I want it too! And all my 16 cats!
PLEASE put part 2 in the works!
Me too!
Not one monster, not one scare, but I was still unsettled, drawn to the edge of my seat. This was phenominal, in a world full of movies about monsters with endless pop ups and cheesy atmosphere, this is a masterpiece. A huge round of applause to the creators. The last horror movie/short movie to litterally make me feel this unsettled and uneasy was Gerard's Game, and this has topped it. Bravo!
Thanks for the thoughtful comment TenTickles, I'm happy you liked the film :)
You're welcome! Works of art like this need more recognition!
Watch "Grace" ,- so unsettling, you'll never want to be married or have children.
The girl’s acting was brilliant. And she’s pretty too.
Screamfest You earn a subbie. I’m promoting this on my Facebook account.☺️
Thanks Ami! Glad you liked it :)
True true
Man, this was a masterpiece! How does any parent get THAT screwed up? Compliments on the girl's acting as well! Awesome short guys!
Thanks Fuzzims! Glad you liked it so much!
I remember you, we always end up on the same videos throughout UA-cam!
Take Care,
Amanda Heath
Andrea Niada Oh wow, I wish I'd gotten the notification for your reply! So this girl was you? Are there more examples of your acting online somewhere? I REALLY loved this!
Debbie Heath Hi again Debbie! Kinda fun how we keep running into each other! 😊 I hope you have a great day! 😉
Fuzzims McFuzzface Yes, this time I got here last, maybe I'm stalking you....lol. I've only had a couple other people with such similar taste as me, on UA-cam. Have a great day/night too.
Take Care,
Amanda Heath
Gotta tell that lil girl is younger Anne Hathaway
Dillon Elsa Dobrev yeah I was thinking of it too
Dillon Elsa Dobrev That's what I was thinking
Thank you...i was trying to figure out who she looked like to me!
Was about to say this too!!
Gotta tell ya ur wrong it's Kate Reed also she is British not american .
When home schooling goes horribly wrong....
As it usually does
Lesson: don't home school your kids
Give a few examples where it didn't.( I'm sure there's a few,- don't be all nitpicky).
@@zethraelofteldrassil3149 I'd like to see the statistics on that. Home education is a large commitment in terms of time, resources and finances, it attracts more middle class families with the ability to afford help, tutoring or even guidance later on. Obviously there are exceptions, but still. That's extremely narrow-minded of you to say.
@@markferguson3745 I'm one of five children who did very well with home education. Education Otherwise and various other sites have online boards where you can access the abilities of the parents or guardians educating their children. While there are some sketchy cases, the majority of these boards seem to be families concerned with the welfare of their children when it comes to overcrowding, individual learning needs, accessibility, lack of one-on-one support, bullying, abuse of guidelines or legislation in education, an overly generalised, mandatory attitude to learning on all/specific subjects, lack of appropriate resources, and various other factors.
Prejudice is not an attractive trait in many people, and the same applies here. Get to know the people you're criticising. There will always be some radicalism in or out of school, but those numbers aren't prevalent here in the UK.
"Because no one wants to actually rot, Rachel" hahah love it. Great actors. High quality short film. Happy I stopped to watch this one.
Thanks a lot Patrick :) I appreciate it.
The fact that I read your comment about a second before it came in the film, haha!
Mum : "...cooking is dangerous..."
Rachel : "eating your food is much more dangerous..." 😅
Wow, such a great actress, the girl playing "Rachel" really seemed like she was born into this type of"belief", The story is great as well.
Thank you Zinat!
Ikr her acting is so good
" He's rotting a little bit to see how we react. " allrighty then.
Best I have seen yet.... Hope to see the girl actor on the big screen.... She really has a talent. .... Both cast members were exceptionaly freaky and that's hard to do believably.... Loved the story line, unique and new concept.... Would love to see more of from this director and writer. Well done!
Thank you so much for your kind words Ania! I appreciate it :)
I was thinking the same, she was really good and very beautiful!
You can see more of my work here if you like - ua-cam.com/channels/vsYHQr_gxs5Od7E2Qb7_Ng.html?view_as=subscriber
Thank you!
That girl is an AMAZING actress. Seriously. Everything was 100% believable. That’s really hard to do. Amazing. The whole thing was amazing.
Hello
I have so many questions. This would make an interesting full length film.
Screamfest THANK YOU. I hope I get to see it. Love you guys.
They, as in who?
Glad you liked it homesick1946, as Screamfest mentioned, we are currently developing the feature :)
You! OKAY!
Andrea Niada Will it get a wide release or in selected areas? I'd love to know more about Rachael's abilities to see into the im between and if her mother will straighten out.
Okay I'm still at the beginning where they're having a conversation about dust, but does anyone else wonder what in the heck is the mom preparing for dinner.?!! Lololol lolol 😱
a struggle meal lmaoo
@@laurenhaack2096 I also saw that. I am still waiting to see it hatch...
Looked like raw meat and boiled eggs.
We are all wondering that lol
Be nice to your children. They pick your retirement home. - A bumper sticker.
You can tell her education is good when her spelling book is spelled 'speling."
Good eye Matthew ;)
UK spelling people
It wouldn’t surprise me if this was based on a true story Cos I’m a country girl from England and I can tell you now a few of my mates mothers are like this mother lol x
Well done! It didn't scare me...it was an unsettling feeling. Yet it left me softly thoughtful. Also I felt triumph for the girl - letting her mother live in her illusion but protecting her own self from any further brainwashing. I feel a sequel to see where she goes without a guide into reality is needed. And she obviously has some psychic abilities once faced with particularly newly dead beings. The things she can hear in them. The in between she can see. Also why is her house surrounded by death? She'd be a great detective or forensics for homicides....all just thoughts it left me with. And ideas I definitely don't mind anyone using. It would put a great - perhaps scarier take on her unsettling upbringing.
Hey Ms. MolliLolli, thanks for your thoughtful comment, very insightful :) We actually have a feature in the works, which hopefully you'll enjoy! I love the idea of Rachel eventually becoming a detective!
The mom looks like Jack Nicholson. That's a compliment.
Woah...I can't believe this is a student film. It's so good! The acting is brilliant, they were both totally believable and believably creepy! Everyone involved should be super proud, especially the writer, it was such a strong and unique storyline. So good!!!
Thank you neatznotso! Glad you liked it!
Mold bacteria the most dangerous of mammals.
Have you ever had cheese made from the milk of bacteria?
Johnny Rivera What do mean by "milk of bacteria?".
Are they even mammals??
Every comment/question on this thread is retarded and in need of questioning, except for maybe that made by June passingthroughthegate
Emafex it’s not a mammal
Well done to the two actors! Excellent control, understanding, sympathy. Kate Reed deserves to go far with such an adaptable, expressive and, frankly, large face!
Thanks for watching Ian! Happy you liked it, and I agree, Kate is great!
Phew...with all the taxidermy going on in that house, I thought they were going to stuff Daddy so "He would be back."
Watch "Father Figurine"
No jumpscares, no blood and guts, no monsters or demons, no screaming. Creepy as hell. One of the best horror films I've seen in a long time.
On a different note: the girl is so damn cute I want to cry.
Thank you sirVhailor!
You knows exactly the people who started the Idea of home-schooling! Religious people!!!!
I feel like in the end she finds a way to conceptualize death without any substantive education, the idea that its presence is so strong she can understand it without being taught. Amazing!!
This was honestly really well made. Rachel's acting was incredible.
Thank you itsnotsolit, glad you liked it :)
A chilling tale of an ordinary family spiraling into insanity, isolation and death. Superb acting especially the daughter. Everything fitted the narrative perfectly. Well done to the cast and crew.
bacterias are mammals? seems legit.
Dad is actually is dead. Mum is just ignoring the fact.
Balazs Santa wow thanks Sherlock it TOTALLY wasn’t obvious
Balazs Santa 🎅
No shit, Columbo.
U don't say hun.....
She can’t cope with the fact that he’s dead. So they keep him under constant watch hoping he’ll wake up. That was obvious dude.
seriously what the hell is she cooking 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm sorry but us Brits just aren't that strange...now, i need to go and pickle my bananas and curtains.
Glad I'm not the only one who pickles their curtains...
Yea, now if it were Evangelicals in the US, I could see this actually happening.
Good to know, I mainly do it for the dust.
How do you pickle bananas and curtains?? What's that? 🙂
Alissa Telemaque don't ask...😉
The best horror short I've seen amazing job all around Bravo
Crypt Tv take notes
Thank you Jay!!
this short is amazing. it made none of the mistakes that i usually cant freakin stand in horror films. it didn't do too much, go overboard at the end with the plot. It didn't try and show us a fake "scary" monster. it didn't try to use any silly ridiculous gore or a bunch of old unoriginal jump scares. That young actress was fantastic. by far one of my favorite shorts of all time.
Thank you so much for the comment and for watching! Very happy you liked it :)
How it is possible that you guys don't have more followers? This was great!
Thank you so much! It means a lot :)
they got a new one from me. its not much but everyone counts right?
Ms.DeViL 2U

For some reason I like watching these as well am I scared. Dad is in a room dead and decaying, Mom is a psychopath. Rachel a confused daughter which the mom is provoking the confusion. Scary but brilliant!
Good analogy...👻
"You know lots of things, but sometimes they're wrong"
Oh honey, you have no idea lmao
Rachel is so pretty - she vaguely resembles Anne Hathaway.
And michael jackson
Screamfest HONESTLY makes the BEST short films! Can't stop watching!
Andria Niada this is the best short on here, can't wait for the full feature.
We all WANT it!!!
Thanks wednesday1031!! And thanks for subscribing to my channel :)
I can't wait to make the feature, but these things always take ages to get done!
Opinion: this is coping with abuse/ trauma on an epic scale more than most of us could imagine in our worst nightmare. That little girl fabricated her own idea of religion through the horror that was her “real” life. shows incredible strength. Bravo~
Thanks for watching!!
Young actress facial expression is so genuinely convincing i like her. Hope to see her in full length movie
I love actually scary and unsettling movies that don’t rely on cheap jump scares
Bravo! This should be made into a full thriller movie. I was captivated by their delusional state of minds and how the mother was programming her daughter to think the same way. As humans we need to understand that children are like huge sponges. They absorb what you tell them at a early age. I find feral children so fascinating as well because they had no one to teach them. This is why it's important to truly make sure the children's upbringing needs ro be done correctly. I pitied them towards the ending.
Thanks for watching and your insightful comment Jazhua :)
We are actually developing the feature film at the moment so stay tuned!
Andrea Niada Wow please keep us all posted. That would be something I definitely would go see!
I will!
When they say dust could they be talking about asbestos exposure? Did the father die from mesothelioma?!?!? OMG
I still think this is a clever find.
“Stop questioning things you know nothing about.”
And that is why you ended how how you did lady.
Love the ignorance of the mother. Saying we don't know where dust comes and that bacteria are mammals 😂
Ive watched so many amateur or independent short films on youtube and a lot of them are really poor. A few are good but still flawed for one reason or another. But this was ridiculously good and stands head and shoulders above almost everything else Ive seen. Absolutely stunning.
Thanks so much yeme, it really means a lot!!
yeme I second that ,they need to pursue this talent they have,and they seem to have a gold star in it,keep going,this was fascinating!
“Dust is bacteria which is mammals” ha ha
That is one messed up lady! Makes the girl throw a bone to “find things”. Almost a bronze age mind set!
Everything about this production is a testament for when highly creative minds and high-end production values collaborate in making a brilliant short film made by students.
Thanks Ross! That means a lot :)
The moment u know this story is amazing; when the audience is led to feel empathy towards the most disturbed character in it. This young actress needs to be in full length films if she hasn’t already.
Thanks Del!! So glad you enjoyed it :)
A great short film, I'd definitely love to see this be made into a longer movie with more backstory and whatnot. That little girl is an amazing actress, same with the older lady!
Thank you George! I have actually written the feature and it's in development, so stay tuned! Glad you liked it :)
What about the man? I thought he was great
These people can really act!
Where has this channel been all my life!! AWESOME!!
Mama is just a bit insane don't u think?
That was...different. And nicely creepy.
Horrifyingly, hypnotically creepy--probably partly because a household like this may actually exist somewhere. Kate Reed's pupils appear dilated throughout the film, which only adds to her eerie, spaced out portrayal. Great acting (even Richard Ginn, lol) and an imaginative story.
A definite "yes" vote for a feature film.
Thanks Scriptor13! Glad you liked it :)
I agree with the hundreds of others who'd like to see this be made into a full feature film.
Thanks Alli Ghoul, hopefully it will happen soon :)
Some of the best acting in a horror short that I've seen, from the girl and the mother. Kudos!
Thanks Kim!
That girl will become a great mother some day. Through I wonder whether the woman is actually the girl's birth mother.
Why? birth mothers can be crazy too.
“The way into the nightmare is our only way out”.. one of the best horror short film ive seen. So deep and beautifully acted and executed. I hope home schooling because of coronavirus does not end up like this.
Thank you bugx julian! I'm glad you liked it!!
“Dead people come back by lunch”
Good to know
It’s true
That Rachel girl is so BEAUTIFUL! ❤️
That woman is terrifying!!! Even though they kind of remind me of my Aunt and Uncle. They said they were Mormon... but I am not so sure.
That said... I was legit disgusted. My stomach felt weird watching past the 13 minute mark. Absolutely amazing! Haven't felt that way in a long time. Keep it up!
Thanks ChaosChick! I'm very happy the film had such a strong effect on you :)
9:29 when you smell something and go upstairs only to realize your dad farted
Ah, yes... the 3 Rs: reading, (w)riting and raving...
Good, eerie short!
The speeches making no sense, or when she said “but you just don’t let me” make it more realistic! Because then she remembers, and that’s a very realistic detail.
This knocked my socks off, had me like what the..... The whole time. Brilliant!
Thanks for watching B. B.! Glad you enjoyed it :)
So basically the mom taught her all these backward things in order to scare and control her, and convince her mother knows all. But by the end it backfires, instead reeling in fear of the bacteria her mother warns her they can't defeat, she dives head first into those ideas. The way out from under the control of her mother was to go deeper into the nightmare of her beliefs, where not even the mother was willing to go.
Great comment, thanks Whofan06!
i love this film but the film that made me laugh was she was "baa" and why on earth she threw the bone 😂❤️
OMG, the very first line was delivered in so "Penny Dreadful"-ish way... that woman's acCent reminded me of VaneSsa Ives! ❤😍❤
Screamfest Always a pleasure! 🌷
Syeda Rubab Jaffery yasss
Awesome movie !!
Only you & one other pump out genuinely brilliant short horror movies on UA-cam.
Thank you so much !! Excellent work :)
I do indeed
Love your movies & they are brilliantly acted too.
I certainly do let people know of your great movies :)
Thank you! And I agree Screamfest are the BEST!
Who's the other?
Ha Ha !! Crypt TV :)
Avebury Eddie haha yes!
Why do I do this to myself at half two in the morning while my husband is away
You should have made him come home to watch this stuff with him
+PinguSmokesWeed not that easy since he was in prison at the time
Kerrie Wilson oh shite
+PinguSmokesWeed it's cool he's out now on the tag. It's actually quite shocking that three years later he is still having trouble with this charge because the original charge was an offensive weapon because he was walking along the street and he almost tripped over a broken umbrella so he picked it up to put it to the side of the road to stop anyone else tripping over it and the police saw him picking it up and arrested him for an offensive weapon, he was remanded for three weeks for social enquiry reports then given three years probation, but he was breached for missing a couple of appointments and a warrant was put out for him and he got remanded again for another week then let out on the tag with a curfew for five months
Kerrie Wilson they put him in prison for that but actual criminals get slaps on the wrist and get let out on the streets.
That was another incredible short film from you n with so much depth, it had me hooked!
Thanks Michael :) Really happy you liked it!
I can't help smh-ing whenever her mom says something science-related...
Great acting in this one. Wow . Where did they find these two?.they deserve to be on the big screen indeed
The dinner-lunch conversation drives me crazy already, imagine years of living with that 'mother'.
The film and the actors are marvelous... I think Rachel looks like Michael Jackson.. Lol
Thank you Rituparna :)
What
I didn’t see it until you said it. She wa fantastic
Yes I saw that too...
yeah I thought so too
"Just because you know something doesn't mean you know everything!"

There is a sign that said, “A door is no use of the lock is not locked.”
How the hell do you get in if the door is locked?
The acting. The cinematography. The editing. The score. A true masterpiece must execute every element flawlessly. This film did. Absolutely amazing job.
Thanks so much SceneOfAction, it means a lot :)
This was really creepy,but absolutely brilliant.
Oooooooookay then...Thanks Screamfest. Now that I've dropped my coffee, does that mean mold and bacteria is going to grow into little mammals? I guess I better pickle my rug. ARRRRG!
I swear down Iv watched this about 5 times it’s brilliant, bizarre, real, captivating... I could go on ... I’m just about to share it Cos it should have way more views and likes x
Thanks Snowball 99! I really appreciate you having taken the time to watch it multiple times and happy you liked it!
Kate Reed. Fantastic performance. The only other thing IMDB has her in is another short (11 min) from the year before called "Our Broken Heart." UA-cam doesn't come up with it, though. I, too, would like to see more of her. She aced this film.
Man her poetry skills really developed over the course of this film
I just want to hug that girl and tell her that she’s smart, beautiful, and that I’m sorry she had such bad parents
The acting is incredible. Most disturbing British short horror film I've seen in a while. Well done. It gave me chills.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)
"Bacteria are mammles" This has all kinds of movie logic in it X,D this one was vary interesting and I really liked it. The girl was the best at her acting but the mom did a great job too.
Thanks Maru!
i'm getting hereditary vibes from this! great job!
No one wants to ACTUALLY rot, Rachel
It would be nice to spend the afternoon with this interesting couple. I'd enjoy hearing more of her theories on the physical world.
Heartfelt congratulations. Certainly the best short film I have Seen. Good acting, good lighting, good sound, good scenario, good filming. Far more powerful than most horror films.
Thanks so much! Really glad you liked it!!!
