More About "Odd Girl":
Dylan, a popular and charismatic high school student, finds his perfect existence suddenly compromised by the unwelcome attentions of lonely outcast, Belinda. Much to Dylan's disappointment, his best friend, Mindi, takes pity and invites her into their inner circle. As Mindi and Belinda grow closer, Belinda lights up with new-found confidence while Mindi becomes cold and reclusive, distancing herself from Dylan and his friends. As this increasingly abnormal behaviour becomes intertwined with eerie supernatural forces, Dylan is compelled to dig deeper into Belinda's true character, but what he discovers next is something more menacing than he ever imagined.

Who else watched a horror film randomly and can’t stop watching them now
Me 😭
Lol same here! Now there are not even scarry.
🙋♀️
Meeee😂😁
Absolutely 3 am and I can't stop 😂
I like the concept of the popular girl being 'the nice one' and the outcast being the unsuspecting villain, as it makes the story less predictable. The relationship between Belinda and her mum reminds me of the mother/daughter relationship in 'Carrie'. Good acting here too 👍🏾
Lol that’s how it really be in real life, majority of popular people are genuinely nice that’s why people like them, if you went to a school with the cliche mean girls I’m so sorry you had to go through that
The relationship is not like carrie. Carrie hated her mom with good reason
I got Carrie vibes too.
... i dont believe the person is belindas mother ...
@@JillianVSJill yes, the popular ones are not usually bad or the bullies. I'd say that they tend to be different groups of people.
Hey everybody! I'm the writer/director of "Odd Girl" and on behalf of the team, I want to say a huge thank you to everyone that's watching! If you have any questions, send them my way and I'd be happy to answer them. Enjoy!
HII
Can you say hello to me pleeeeaaaase
that's an odd thing to say. 😐
i didn't understand a thing. who is that woman? what happend to this kids?
Hi @ I love your directing skills, well done on the film. But pls can you clear some questions for me.
1. The sound of neck breaking when the guy turned his head, was that a way to let the audience know that they have been turned too?
2. The dialogue that said the girl has been dead for over a week when the guy n all the friends saw the two girls the previous day, is that dialogue trying to tell the audience that other peoples mind was wiped off about seeing the girl the previous day?
3. The last photo that was shown n the guys had their face blurred in the picture, does it mean they have been turned too?
4. In my understanding of your story, is the girl sick n in need of a new body as time goes on n so she chooses which body she wants by befriending the person and her mother helps her by exchanging souls and then the girls old body appears dead with the other person soul in her dead body, while she keeps living in the new body? If that is it then what is the back story of the guy( the photo guys friend who had the same sound when he turned his neck) as well?
5. Or was the sound from the guys friend mean that he is also like that and he has targeted his photographer friend body, cos he was texting him constantly just as how the girl was constantly around Mindi and the picture showed his face blurred but not his friends face just as the pic he took of Mindi n the odd girl, so did he get scared after seeing the odd girls band on mindi n now he understood n knows he is being targeted just like Mindi was?
Thank you *smiling *
It seemed that the mother transferred Belinda's soul into Mindy and while Mindy's soul was in Belinda's body they made her die in a way no one would find out what Belinda and her mother did cause Belinda probably wanted to be like Mindy and she got what she wanted in the end.
Also water is wet and up is up.
@@andrewm4316 Emm what?
@@joyfrancis4833 A crass way of saying "obviously".
@@jcadult101 oh yeah
@@andrewm4316 I don’t get the last picture though
The ending definitely implies that Dylan’s best guy friend is going to switch bodies with him next.
Because they are in a photo together?
@@ango8466 Because Dylans face is blurred duh
@@ango8466 Because the faces were bled together in the last photo like mindy's and belinda's were and his friend's neck creaked in the paramedic scene when he turned to look at him, just like belinda's did.
@@fatalbreak I think that is the point their body actually died, when their neck made the cracking sound. They said that Bellinda's body was hanging there since a week. I presume Dylan has a week starting at that point.
@@purplem00n87Dylan has made the connection to identifying when something is about to happen. At this point, it's a matter of how far it has already spread. Kind of like invasion of the body snatchers. If the neck creaks, that person is already dead and taken over. They just haven't found Dylan's friend's body yet, but Dylan knows to stay away from his friend so the next step in the story would be him looking insane to everyone in the town while trying to explain what's going on and you'd likely see signs of others that had been merged.
Am I the only one who deeply regrets watching this late in the evening ... alone... in an old, creaky house?!
No ur not the only one I'm doing it right now
Ha I fully understand that one, as a young girl I used to read IT Stephen During the day on my breaks, but come night time out by myself in the batch built onto garage with loud metal door that was awful in the wind, I would read the old Catherine Cookson romance novels lol
Shut up I hope monster find you hahahahhahahahahashahahhahahahahahahhah 😠
They are going to get you 😮
Heyy
It's straightforward plot, Belinda and jock dude are necromancers and Belinda's "mother" is their arch-necromancer or covenant leader. They keep transferring their souls into new bodies as old one keep rotting away. It's very easy to follow. Every time Belinda and jock dude turn around their neck snaps because they are entering rigor mortis, as they are inhabiting dead bodies. That's why every time we see Belinda, she is more pale and has darker eye-bags, because she's rotting away, and it's the reason why she transfers her soul to Mindy (!?). The jock dude already knows her, you can see two of them exchange looks at the very beginning of the movie, despite Belinda supposedly being new transfer to the school. During the dinner scene with mother, Belinda doesn't eat anything, because she doesn't really need food. The photos are just visual clue for audience to show that their souls are being displaced, because Mindy and Dylan were being marked.
Its impossible to get that, especially when the film doesn't explain any of it, nor does it hint on it.
@@MrsJasmyn45 Did you watch the movie? It pretty much spells out everything.
Your quite perceptive.
I mean. Yeah. Realized that too, even the cracky wacky neck thingy. But the Jock? Can't even believe for a second
Nevermind. Saw it now. Damn, they be like Necromancers for sure.
man, i really wish you could turn your short movies into real blockbusters! i think based on how well these do, that the full movies with be through the roof!
This one could be a show high key lol
Thank you so much Elissa for the comment! We generally don't produce these short films, rather we curate and work with the filmmakers to host their work so as many people can watch them as possible. We would love to see Rami Kahlon make a feature or series from "Odd Girl". Be sure to follow her socials listed in the description above to keep up with her creative endeavors. Thanks for watching!
I wished that too but after some of them being turned into a movie I regretted it. some of them are not as good as this short films and in some way ruined it for me
@@learninghowto101 Aint that the truth? The point of the channel is to get great films in under the standard Hollywood time of 1h 40m. These horror shorts get straight to the heart of the matter. That's why I watch and to be pleasantly surprised! Many of these are way better than Hollywood formulaic productions.
@@ruthieworldtravels208 Agree 100%
This is such a refreshing take on the high school horror trope. I loved it. Kudos to the director and the cast.
I agree, it was a cracking good short horror film.........( as the brits would say....)
Ok
So I’m thinking while Belinda transferred over to Mindy that the same night the photographer’s friend killed himself as well and was back to start his own transfer process. The reason is that he was blowing up the photographer’s phone so much, like he was in crisis. Neck snap definitely made it clear he was already dead though. Hell, he could have been murdered. That’s my take on the end. This was amazing!
Friend was dead the same day Belinda was waiting for the at the locker. Check out the look they give each other 0:33
@@CroatanWolf44 also the friend mentions "the have lunch right here at the lockers" as they look at their next prey
@@orcajorca7215 ohhhhh, disguised the plan as sarcasm.....good catch!
No BBB
Neck snap? I think I missed that.
the language spoken during the incantation scene sounded pretty legit. if it's made up, it's masterful. either way, superbly acted bit
It was English actually. Just spoken backwards.
@@bobbywise2313 That was my guess as well. Anyone know what was said?
@@ayoelang I recorded it (in audacity) and reversed it. It is not English in reverse. I have no idea what it is.
@@tely5 Sounds Slavic. 'Nyet' being uttered several times is a pretty big clue. That said - muttering 'no' nyet , over 5 times is silly.
It was English in reverse. It’s actually a benediction. My pronunciation slipped a bit in filming, as it was all a bit intense! The only thing I can remember off the top of my head is “slewoahs rouah” which is “our souls”.
This was an interesting film. I think it has some room for interpretation.
The odd girl Belinda is lonely and reaching out. I think her soul is lonely and is seeking vessesls she can inhabit which would make her feel less lonely. I don't Belinda hated Mindi but rather wanted to be her. So she solicits her mother to help in a soul transfer. This is extremely creepy. How many times has the mother helped in this type of cycle? We don't know and are left to ponder the mothers motivation and if she can even see her daughter's soul anymore.
There is something supernatural occurring which brings the horror in spades.
Why Dylan is the next target is not obvious. Maybe it is to terrify him into silence or madness as a revenge for him being another one who saw Belinda as odd.
That's my interpretation.
The location of a real school was perfect and the teen performers were believable High School students. It was also a good use of photography in the plot.
Overall it was a good melding of how we treat others and a horror element of revenge and power.
congratulations to Rami Kahlon, cast and crew. Best of success. to you all.
Peace.
Belinda ain't normal. That girl is dark & sinister.
Thank you I didnt understand it but now I do
If you noticed throughout the film, every time Belinda would turn her head you’d hear bone cracking, like her body is rotting. Added from the fact that it looked like her body was decomposing from beginning to when “she” committed suicide. It seems like she’s a demon or undead soul who needs to actively switch bodies in order to avoid complete decomposition. Another note, looks like his friend at 10:20 is also possessed by a demon of some sort. Instead of comforting him as a friend, instead he’s completely dismissive of what happened, AND his bones were cracking just like Belindas. Just my two cents, loved the film!
I think Dylan's friend is gonna do the same to him, since he's also a... dead... spirit... thing.
Have to agree with being lonely - I thought just a demon but why be so down and out if your a demon you’d be more slick lol she seems to have a lost soul - never finding where she belongs and though still can be a demon souls taking over a body - explains why the guy is one when his neck creeks unless that’s the mom and she also tranfered? I wish we
Had more
Of the story or even a prequel - this was really fun to Debate in my head and many awesome ideas
Posted for sure
This is awesome because if Hollywood tried to make this into a full-length movie it wouldn’t turn out as well but with only about 10-15 minutes you can get the point across in a way that viewers have to use clues and infer certain plotpoints
I agree. All the people lamenting the shortness of these films seem to be missing the point.
the problem with these short films is that they are short, they are amazing and deserve a lot more
"Are you STRAIGHT for Mindy?!"
Ikr¿ 😅😂
There was also the super bizarre comment at 3:05 "you should've never came home from winter break"
Which makes no sense.
Like what did he mean?
@@VN3wton he said about Mindy „she never came home from winter break“ I think
At first I thought she was an ordinary girl and the others were the problem. But damn, she really was the problem!
Wait, you don't take over the body of those you like?
Perhaps I should take some time to look back on what I've done.
🤭
@@RealBradMiller no
😂
This gives a whole new meaning to the unpopular kid at school. Maybe they are legitimately weird and those cool kids? Future engineers.
@@jasminehouston-burns1691 i think theres been this weird idolization of quiet “weird” lkids because now they can spin themselves as the “good guys” and the populars as “bad guys” and appeal to a mass audience, but, and dont get me wrong popular kids can be hella mean for no reason, in reality the quiet kids can be genuinely weird and creepily vindictive asf (especially to women too, in my experience lol)
Belinda and Dylan's friend both were dead and wanted to switch their body with someone else, that's why evertime they moved their neck there was a cracking sound 3:19 10:27
Good point
Yep! Each time they steal a body, the new body dies (its rightful soul being ripped out and all), and they have to immediately find the next body to jump to. That’s why Belinda looked like she had been dead awhile.
It was refreshing to see how the “weird outcast” actually ending up being exactly what people expected her to be and judged her for. It’s almost ALWAYS the other way around. They OFTEN make the pretty girl into a vapid and conceited “mean girl” (or they will make her misunderstood and not actually mean like her friends) but when it comes to the weird girl, she is ALWAYS considered to be misunderstood and actually a beautiful person inside and out with a simple makeover by removing her glasses and ponytail like they did on “Not Another Teen Movie” as a spoof from
“She’s All That” and it was freaking hilarious! If y’all have never seen NATM then you HAVE TO. It stars a lot of amazing cast members but the two main stars (Chris Evans whose jock character is a spoof from Varsity Blues and She’s All That, and the lead female actress is the incredible Chyler Leigh from Grey’s Anatomy and Supergirl whose character is mostly spoofing from She’s All That) are just incredible and I was impressed by how funny Chyler was considering how this film was one of her very first roles!
Well that’s a good thing about this movie was different but the funny thing is her I keep saying that is a Twitter nice twist bubble and I’m like hold on in real life usually the problem people are usually conceited and mean it’s very rare how the weird girl in our girl out is actually the main one usually the popular one is me not all the time though I was never popular in school but I did have some friends that were somewhat popular and that’s why I made easy for people not to make fun of me so no I know not all of them are mean at all and they still got the soda for me but for the most part those movies that you’re talking about is usually what happens
Most of the time the weird one is just judged because they might be a bit awkward though
Those movies are trash
“I have no money, have to make my own dreeess…
Look at me, my titties perky, yes..” 😂
Maybe in teen romantic movies. But in horror movies, its always the outcast who’s sus lol

@@asowerofseed4896 I agree
Its a 12 minute film. Kids these days have no ability to sustain attention.
The bones cracking when she speaks to the mother is what got me. Creepy. Well done!
I love how our perspectives switch from showing empathy to the shy outcast, to rooting for the weirded out popular girl. I love all of your refreshing original ideas and how professionally directed and acted out they are. Great job @ALTER !!!
Why is this director not making full on movies yet 😭 id watch every single one
Damn these shortfilms are so underrated.
Like am I watching a high quality movie or what? Damn I'd be paying just to watch these ngl.
"It gets better!" What could be truer than that? Superb offering, Alter!
I want to know who makes these short films who directs them who writes their script everything is so on point. these films are better than any horror movie I watch for 2 hours
Each film has a different director, I think the info is in the description. They're not made by Alter per se, I've seen that some of these films were crowdfunded.
I think the girl that made this film commented above lol
11:33 That red thing on Belinda's wrist is the same red thing on Mindy's wrist 1:20
interesting
Good call.
Great short. We've all been the "odd one" in one way or another. Sometimes it's how we fit in where we are and sometimes it's other people's interpretation of us.
I literally found this channel last night snd have binged ever since. The directing is amazing and the writing is amazing. These deserve a bigger platform!

You've been Alter'd 🧟♂️
no but when he got a notif while his music was playing and it just interrupted the entire song 😭 hit way too close to home
i think it’s interesting that when belinda and her mom are having dinner, belinda’s plate is empty. i expected her mom to say something about her not eating but she never did.
also when belinda is toying with the red yarn later on, perhaps she’s making another “hair tie” for mindy like the one she wears on her wrist. maybe that’s what allows belinda to transfer bodies?
She’s dead. And her mother transform her soul to bodies she want. That’s why she don’t eat anything cuz she’s not actually alive
I absolutely love these short films!!! They get right to the point...no dragging on for 30 minutes like in long films, then you get a little bread crumb!!
At the beginning of the short, the real Belinda is already dead. The Belinda we see is the spirit that needs a new body every 7 days. The Belinda we see has a change of personality that is more outgoing and confident because the spirit wants Mindy's body.
The lady in the house is not Belinda's mom. She is just a medium who plays the role of a parent to whomever the spirit is possessing in a certain week. And this week is Belinda and next week is Mindy. And perhaps in a few weeks the spirit will move out from the school and move into a different community.
thanks for clearing that up lol I was so confused
This is probably one of my favorite films of this channel. So much interpretation and thought can be put into this. I feel like Belinda is trying to get revenge. She's definitely a tortured soul and the bullying probably made her want revenge
"A lot can change in a day."
Indeed.
I think the mother figure had a duaghter who died. and perforated the spirit realm and stole some sort of jin who takes on the form of children. and it manipulated the mother into luring hosts to it.
A ALTER short walks in the notification ; my thoughts:- great story , great acting, a message ....altogether this channel makes me fall in love with each short......happy to be an ALTERIAN
That's the problem of not setting boundaries and not saying no when you are uncomfortable, you might end up getting GTA-ed like Mindy.
Hey Alter
I randomly saw one of your Short horror films and I've been obsessed with your channel since then😭. Can't help it , it has become my Guilty Pleasure .
Keep up the good Work ! ✨❤️
Probably one of the more believable scenarios with the "odd" girl. Hollywood always goes too in your face, right out mean, this felt way more realistic and it really made the whole film work. Great job.
Cooool! Wish it was longer
My first thought was that the mother was a cultist or satanist that summoned a demon, trapped a host - her own daughter - and through a ritual the demon assumed her appearance while it consumed her soul, then they got Mindy to be its new host.
The red thread made me think of how the Fates seal our...Well, fates. When their neck cracks really loudly just by making a normal movement, it means they're screwed. So I think she was sealing Mindy's fate and then the weaving continues with Dylan and so on. I think maybe the blurred Dylan in the pics means that the demon has already latched on, maybe through the threads, and is already consuming his soul. I don't know what significance the pink hair tie could have, maybe it's just another signal that whatever was in Belinda had now transferred to Mindy, but the demon only fiddles with it once - when Belinda is waiting for Mindy to walk by.
That's what I came up with but I gotta say it has holes like swiss cheese. I like reading other people's interpretations in this channel so feel free to share
I was genuinely not expecting that twist! Awesome film!
Loved this film. Very macabre plot. Kept me engrossed in the storyline.
Goshh, please make a movie on this plot or idea, this is something else, loved it. We need concepts like this more. I like the actors I mean they really look like teenagers, not like the other movies with matured and adult actors who played the teenagers roles.
Directer: How many questions do you have?
Me: Yes
The worst kind of mean girls are the ones who pretend to be nice
This is good! I love how the ghoul was the manifestation of the boyfriend. This should be a full length film!
Is there anyone notice alter channel post more and more awesome shorts lately?! I can’t wait see more,good job!
Damn... I was having a really interesting and thoughtful conversation with someone about writing styles and it appears as though Alter deleted the initial comment because the person said (very respectfully and with good reason) that they didn't like the video...
I feel if they don't then don't watch. Really. Because it is what it is. They're shorts. But I enjoy them. I do wish that some were longer. I still enjoy watching. Just grateful that Alter is a stepping stone for some. It's great!🤗🤗

Great work! Horror and creepiness never gets old for me. Well done. So, Belinda is dead, for a week, but seen in school. Belinda’s soul is transferred to the popular girl (I forget her name) and is acting like Belinda and wearing her bracelet. Is this correct? What I’m not sure about is the last frame when he’s looking at the picture.
And didn’t the drama teacher that mentioned she had been there for a week just see Belinda a day ago along with all the other students? She acted like she hadn’t so that was confusing. Were they implying that the boy was dead too since his picture was blurred like the other two girls? Yea I didn’t get what he was looking at either since he already knew Belinda was in the pics.
Me neither . . . interesting point!
Well his face was distorted in The pic just like the one of the girls
@@wonderfulday77 yes the teacher said that “a lot can change in a day” when she was talking to the boy about finding Belinda…. And she also said “we need a new coroner though, they said her body was their first at least a week.” Basically she is saying Belinda could only be dead a day bc she saw her .
His picture was blurred like mindys was… so like the same thing was gonna happen to go as whatever did to mindy which is why he’s freaking out at the end
This is like along the same key points as Skeleton Key but totally different. Fantastically done. It took me a minute to realize what freaked him out about the wave so I went back and I was like "oh the bracelet! Damn!"
Dang! I've watched that, too. Same thought, lad
@@twelvemonths_ You know because of your comment I came back and watched again. I am not sure if I got these other little details the first time but now I am like, damn, this short is so well executed (haha, no pun intended) that like the 10:27 mark that is a huge indicator to the same sound with the Belinda talking to her mom at the beginning. I know I said it reminds me of the skeleton key but there is literally a skeleton key shown in this. And then the crows swooping in right after the guy says " Maybe she brainwashed her. Form to Belinda Call where the only rule is you have to look like you are hiding something" and at the exact same second where the other girl replies "at all times". I feel like there is one more thing I meant to mention and I haven't. I have to watch again maybe. I don't know. I just think this movie has excellent placement.

I loved the story, congrats. Major props for creating a message history for when Mindy sends a text. Big budget movies and series can't be arsed...
This was awesome 👌 the quality of acting, especially from the photographer lad, was great! Loved the film, thank you
Being a photographer, it was real cringy watching him develop photograph’s from a film camera making that fake ass digital sound 😂😂😂
“Is she straight for Mindy” 💀
I’ve been binge watching these !! Wish they had part 2!
This really ends on a cliffhanger, with Dylan tipped off to what really happened to Mindy, and aware that his own best friend has been running a parallel body snatching scam on him.
After Belinda's body is found, his friend, who only ever disparaged "Belinda," while she was up and about, suggests she should be respected, but in the same conversation asks what the dead body looked like. This suggests that he harbored a more sincere disrespect for Mindy, who was the actual occupant of that corpse.
It seems that accepting a ride home can lead to a dinner invitation, which is how the witch gains direct access to the victims, and that once things get this far their will is too eroded to resist the person taking control of them. Dylan has accepted rides home but not dinner invitations, but he can see in his photographs that what happened to Mindy is happening to him.
It doesn't seem like his friend knows he's caught on, though, since he's still texting him relentlessly wanting to hang out more, spend as much time together as possible, etc. So where does he go from there? Does he tell his body snatcher that he's a stupid loser and that he doesn't know why he ever liked hanging out with him, severing their friendship so the switch can't happen? Does he string him along for awhile so his body will decay and rot, but refuse to escalate their friendship or share car rides anywhere until he's too weak to find a new mark? What happens if he invites the guy to an isolated location and then just uses violence?
For a short horror, I found this story really interesting and elegant. It left me wanting more, and really understanding Dylan's fear at the story's end.
My take is that as soon as the body is snatched by the invading soul, it is dead. Then it’s immediately time to find the next body. That’s why the bone snapping occurs, rigor morris is setting in.
Thanks for clearing the ending up ❤
Bravo! 👏🏻 this movie was well done through and through!
The photographer boy saw the photo with the bracelet at the end but he didn’t see the photo that showed what will happen next to him.
My theory is that the photographer boy’s “best friend” has the same intentions as Belinda and will soon transfer his soul into the photographer boy’s body.
@@garygergel436 I know what you mean, when you say that the movie is pretty confusing. I agree 💯! I had to watch it a few times and really pay attention to every single detail to come up with the theory and as I saw, some of the other commenters think similarly.
The role of the mother is maybe that her daughter (Belinda) somehow died and she couldn’t cope, so she started to transfer her into other bodies or they both are witches and want to be “young” for ever?.?.
In my opinion, this movie is somehow similar to the skeleton key movie or the body snatchers (if you watched it).
As mentioned before, maybe there are a few of these families in the town to do this because they want to live for ever... (maybe they made a deal with a demon or ???)
As you said, there is the lack of explanation of what really is happening and who else is involved and why are they doing this. I totally understand. We all have different tastes and preferences and if you didn’t like the script you totally have the right to criticism as long as it’s constructive (which your totally is) and not hateful.
And I’ve watched a lot of short movies, that don’t explain themselves but they leave it open to the audience’s interpretation. The writer/director herself said that but she also wrote (in her comment here) that if anyone has any questions about the plot, don’t hesitate to ask and she’ll try to answer every question but she’s going to wait a little longer to explain the movie because it just recently aired and she doesn’t want to spoil it for the future viewers.
Have a great day/night and stay healthy! ✌🏻👍🏻
Short horror films like this one are not actually short for me as I have to read comments & watch the video again 2-3 times to understand. But even after that I can't stop myself watching short horror films. 😂😂😂.
I really like this one ^_^ I appreciate the twist at the end being something that's sorta 'familiar' but at the same time feels right and likely to the plot. Well-done!
The “bro” type friend really brought down the juvenille’s energy in the police raid scene
He was so well spoken and immersed himself deeply while trying to keep in touch with the given circumstances, bravo dude
Gave me chills! Great job!
Absolutely awesome!! I love it!! It's really a very, very good short!!
Much Love and best regards from Austria, stay healthy everyone and spread Love!!
👑✨🤎🦋🤎✨👑
that was awesome! definitely "movie worthy" good job :)
Better than 2 hours long horror movies..
Since I discovered Alter, I cannot stop watching their videos. ❤️
The title somehow said what this movie was going to be about it reminds me of the movie Carrie
Yepppp
Me too
The freaky girl who got her periods and ended up killing her entire class
1:00 "we'll be right back"
if anyone do unnderstand i mean 🤣🤣🤣
I would actually pay to see this in long form this is a great concept, it reminds me of the series switched but more horror feeling.
Really enjoyed this one - different! Not the same boring high school type slasher horror we see so often - Awesome job
Also I was so curious if Drama teacher had connection to the girls mother when she said "A lot can change in a day. The city needs a new coroner though. Said she'd been there at least a week" I took it at first that meant the girl was found in photo lab at least a week so I interpreted that he discovered something in dark magic timeframe as he discovered body same day...but now maybe it's more literal and they meant the girl was at morgue at least a week?
The coroner declared the girl's body had been dead for a week in the closet, which made the drama teacher think they were no good at their job seeing as she and the students had seen the girl "alive" that day, and thus leading the boy to figuring out the girl had been dead the whole time. The teacher was just a teacher.
@@DuchessofEarlGrey so when they met her the first day and said she will go to the locker, that means she’s still alive then until she gets locked?
@@Raiya_ru17 No, I think she's dead at that point. Her personality didn't change throughout the video, although by the fact she asks the other students if she could have lunch with them in the middle of the school year (as opposed to the beginning of the year, when kids tend to make new friends) suggests she was normally alone, and her asking them was out of character. She asked in order to get close to a potential host (the brown haired girl), not to make friends.
So Belinda killed the one person that was nice to her? She really was someone to avoid.
I liked it but I feel like a lot doesn't make sense right off the bat. How and when was the friend possessed, and by who? How did he suddenly realise the darker girl was possessed? If Belinda's soul left her body, how did she commit suicide?
Absolutely love these short horror stories
Cool concept! The bleeding photograph element is a really nice touch. I enjoyed this short film 👍
I love films with Lovecraftian themes. This one reminds me of HPL's story "The Thing on the Doorstep" where an ancient evil wizard possesses the bodies of unwary human hosts. Y'all should totally adapt one of Lovecraft's stories. I'd pay to see that
Well-written, well-acted, well-paced, an excellent short supernatural horror film.
I really want to see this as a series or feature film.
"We're having dinner at my house." As opposed to.inviting.her over to starve together?
I’m not sure why these help calm my anxiety, but I’m here for it! 🙏🙏
Great short!!! I can’t really understand the ending, but I still love it
i think they transferred her soul to the brown haired girl 🤣🤣🤣
Same
It’s 2024 guys I’m from the future and the world is the same and boring relying on horror stories to give us some excitement and trills😂
This was some spot-on and amazing stuff...
no because this is so good. the way im obsessed with alter is a crime.
Damn it Alter, this one is really deep and soooo dark...
And i like it..!!!
3 am horror short rabbit hole anyone?
It’s literally 2:30 am for me right now 😂
Great short. Could go in so many directions. Very subtle with the friend.
I adore you’re productions I watch them a lot especially at locker time in school this one caught my eye and I watched it it’s a really nice one has be a favorite of mine along with Piggy, doll maker, and Timothy!
Pardon me but I'm a little confused about the ending. Were thee others ghost too? That was awesome and certainly peaked my interest.
If you noticed throughout the film, every time Belinda would turn her head you’d hear bone cracking, like her body is rotting. Added from the fact that it looked like her body was decomposing from beginning to when “she” committed suicide. It seems like she’s a demon or undead soul who needs to actively switch bodies in order to avoid complete decomposition. I believe it is his friend who is also possessed by a demon of some sort. Instead of comforting him as a friend, instead he’s completely dismissive of what happened, AND his bones were cracking just like Belindas at the end of their conversation at 10:20.
@@christianenoch6038 that explains a lot thanks
okay so notice how the 1st reply said that the jocks bones cracked just like belindas ALSO check how they look at eachother 0:33 the jock is obviously dead but who is it coming to get?
They are not ghosts, they are necromancers\witches who keep transferring their souls into new hosts so they can keep on living. That's why Belinda looks more like corpse every time we see her, and her and jock's neck snap every time they turn around. "Mother" is their covenant leader who performs the rituals. The teacher mentions that "city news coroner" most likely because there was lot of dead in city in short period of time, most likely because necromancers are killing them. If you watch dinner scene, "Belinda" doesn't eat anything, because she's dead and doesn't need actually need food. If you watch beginning of the movie, jock and Belinda exchange looks and jock is surprised to see her, implying they already know each other, despite Belinda supposedly being new transfer student.
@@njmfff THANK YOU!!!!
