Best movie short I've seen in any genre, hands down! That was so creative, and so fast-paced. Coming from someone who has always had a hard time writing executive summaries for my 38 page in-depth studies, I so admire your work! How does one capture, in under 15 minutes, the essence of so many lives? The hardened killer who kills for the job without conscience, the reluctant, probably hip-deep in debt, or blackmailed killer, and the self-made serial killer who kills for the thrill of it. I applaud you for doing all that in such a thorough and entertaining manner. I'd love to see more of your work!
Great short! Everyone did an excellent job! The one time he should have pulled the trigger he didn't and now we have a cold blooded killer on the loose. Hope no one he loves comes in contact with the kid.
this is how most start ....if they show these sick acts they should be committed then ...or just done away with ...i have no pity for these demented pathetic things
man animals being harmed/killed really gets me also "I'm just a kid" bro you hurt animals get therapy or something spoilers . . . . . . . . IS THE TWIST THAT THE DOG KILLER IS THE HITMAN'S KID?
im late but im here 😁 great one as usual 👌 and i swear i am addicted to horror movies and im VERY hard to please but yet screamfest did not disappoint me not even once ! 🏆🎬
I feel like it's not like he really felt pity for the kid, he saw how messed up he was, and he seems to deal with messed up people, and well that ''kid'' was some seconds from murdering him so it's not ''I'm just a kid'' that makes him change his mind. He just was not capable of murder, he wanted an excuse to get away from there that's it. Maybe the whole incident will make him change to a more honest profession for his family's sake.
11:38 Serial killer project there got lucky this guy fell for it. And how did that man even continue with his life knowing this monster is on the loose? Well, he was there to kill a man after all, I guess he's no hypocrite then.
As a huge animal lover, I had to shut this off. When I saw that the title was called First Kill, I thought it was going to be about bad guys in the woods trying to kill each other or something like that. But, after about 10 minutes and then seeing about a dozen dead dogs all tortured all over the woods in different ways among other animals, I had no interest. This is definitely not my type of movie, but thanks anyways for the upload. Even though animals aren't really harmed in movies, I still have a hard time watching them get killed or tortured because of the concept itself. It just triggers a huge amount of sadness in me :(
i really couldn't watch anymore after I saw so many of those dogs dead and just forgotten. And yes, I know I'm a little baby --but hurting animals really really bothers me
Lo vi otra vez , para entender bien el film . Para entender mejor a los personajes !! Que horror lo que cuentan , pero no deja de ser muy buena como obra dramática . 🤦🐈🐈🐆🐆😪😪
okayyyy that was REALLLLY good !!! spoilers: that “kid” should’ve gotten HELL given to him i swearrrrr. i would’ve fucked that kid up so GOOD. even if i won’t kill an innocent person, i would without a DOUBT in my mind horribly fuck up a monster like that before putting him out of his misery. i feel bad for Rayburn, but unlike the kid in the beginning, the animal murderer deserved the worst.
It was more noir crime than 'horror' but it was absolutely brilliant in every aspect - set locations, camera work, the acting but particularly the script. There was just enough there - no fat or 'info' dumping but everything we needed to know communicated. I loved the 'kicker' at the end. I usually like the Screamfest shorts but this was far and away the best one I've seen - just a brilliant piece of film-making.
Worst hitman ever. He's been just told not to talk to them, also unable to shoot someone who just wanted to kill him a second ago. There were a couple of shorts I didn't like, but this is the most terrible one so far.
Albert Chehade It seems to me there is no lesson, just a warning. Don’t do anything your not 100% sure you can do. Since he couldn’t take the “kid” out he let a budding serial killer free to roam the streets. That’s what I got.
I can see that. But the partner who tripped and became helpless was the only one who learned that. The other two got to go home and have dinner with their families. Once again this movie was just straight up unsettling. So well done! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Panulli4 that’s the wrong generalization about animal lovers. My mom is a vegan but not an animal lover. But it doesn’t also mean she’s cruel to them. She doesn’t hurt them. We have differences. Just open your mind, widen up your brains. Not all vegan are animal lovers and not all meat eaters are cruel to animals.
Domalsin Noreen "Not all vegans are animal lovers.“ - Sure! But do you really think that the opposite is true? How can you love someone and pay for their death just because you like the taste. BTW: I hope your mom is not one of those militant vegans.
Basically what I got from it... what goes around comes around lmao ... but seriously how in the fuck did slipping off a fucking log into a crick disable this man for that long to where he’s straight up paralyzed on the ground lol only to fit the movie’s plot haha yet in another scene he could prolly get shot 3 or 4 times and barely even notice lmao
Hired killers are different from psychopaths. It's just business. He should have killed the psycho when he saw the dead animals. There is an excellent suspense film, in which the bandit enters the house to steal, and is faced with a house full of traps. A psychopath, who collected body parts from women. He found himself in a trap. A bandit and a psychopath, in the same space. Bright.
Wow Screamfest the best yo let's go that was a really cool story it had everything in it action drama creepy I love this story it's really awesome great job on this one Screamfest the best let's keep the classic hits coming🤔🙏👊
Spoiler alert..
And that my friends is a serial killer. Starts with animal's and works his way up to big game.
Thank you Sreamfest for your ❤
It's really too bad that he did not pull the trigger.
just for the dogs he would have deserved that.
I found the actor who plays Rayburn mesmerizing to watch. He was excellent at playing an emotionally conflicted killer.
For those poor dogs alone it would have been a different ending with me in the story.
im with you m8
Yeah pretty clear that kid wasn't going to turn out to be president of the USA or something.
Just baiting the comment section
@@pakde8002 don't be so sure about it.

Being an animal lover, this one was really hard to watch! 😿
Rayburn probably needed money and got it from someone who would ask a favor later.
That's why he couldn't do it.
Not weak just has empathy.
A young bed wetting, fire starting, animal torturer serial killer in the making...a fine lad!
Great flick. Thanks for a nice suspenseful upload, Screamfest. You did it again. Made my day 😊
That ending was just phenomenal. “What did you learn in school today?” “Nothing”
Thanks for watching!
I’m loving these FSU shorts. They really need their own channel.
We have another one coming next week.
Screamfest excellent! I could truly watch these films all day. 🤗
Intense drowning scene had me squirming. Brilliant short. Rock on Screamfest 👌💙
man animals being harmed/killed really gets me

IS THE TWIST THAT THE DOG KILLER IS THE HITMAN'S KID?
No, he's just an upper middle class suburban teen living a normal upper middle class suburban life. That's the twisted ending.
@@pakde8002 also that he didn't learn his lesson either
Are you also one of those militant vegans? lol
@@panulli4 bro what
how is not wanting to see dead animals, particularly cats and dogs make me a vegan?
Leola Wee Well since you care about animals, I thought you were vegan.
This is one of best short films I've seen so far. ⭐🔥
Good movie.Sort of movie you don't want it to end.Thumbs up.
One thing I've learned...never drop your weapon.
Loved this! Great film!
im late but im here 😁 great one as usual 👌 and i swear i am addicted to horror movies and im VERY hard to please but yet screamfest did not disappoint me not even once ! 🏆🎬
Because of the feelings this film brought to me, I felt like a monster.
Nice twist!
Seems the kid is twisted already.
Thanks for the upload
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Amazing short, really well done!
When you are supposed to kill humans for a living but you can’t stand hurting animals...that is called dilemma.
Nah, that's called being normal.
Another great one. Well worth watching
Whatever you do, don't hurt the animals.
Are you also one of those militant vegans? lol
Great work!! I really enjoyed that one!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Nice Job: You have a great eye for Tension and Action. We look forward to more from you guys. Cheers!
Great channel. Superb quality, stellar acting, music and storylines...🇨🇦🌬🌬
Thanks for watching!!
The theatrical treatment was brilliant. The director needs to do features.
I feel like it's not like he really felt pity for the kid, he saw how messed up he was, and he seems to deal with messed up people, and well that ''kid'' was some seconds from murdering him so it's not ''I'm just a kid'' that makes him change his mind. He just was not capable of murder, he wanted an excuse to get away from there that's it.
Maybe the whole incident will make him change to a more honest profession for his family's sake.
This was awesome. Fyi tho...no freshly dead persons head stays upright when being dragged like that
Great storytelling! Very inspiring for aspiring filmmakers like us and our future short horror films.
The coward acted so bad that got on my nerves
Honestly, he was just such an irritating coward
Eseoghene Charles ha ha ha I bet that pisses you off in the same way ha ha ha
@@luiscavalcanti3431 Yes brother, it pissed me off in the same way. Like he should make up his mind already. Too weak
Who completely grossed out when he was cutting the fingers?🤪
The hand @2:54 hahaha gotcha!
Que trama , muy buena !! Me impactó . Gracias Screamfest 😘😘❤❤❤❤

Very Very Interesting!!!!!,! ManyThanx From Costa Mesa CA!!
That was really fun!
❤️ Thanks for watching!
Just looking at sum comments n it’s funny how when animals are harmed/killed we seem to be more shocked! Well done SF yet again 👍👏🏼
Yeah there is a film that shows exactly how much mankind values animals life than people. Watch Birdshot on netflix
beauty full - thanks for that, yeh I’ll try to see it x
beauty full as they should be. humans are literal garbage..
Gripping. Great work.
Great story and very good acting!
Nothing like a new short horror film on a lonely Friday night 😱 SCREAMFEST always brings the best to us 💀 #SHORTHORRORFILM
This looked like a documentary to me since that is how they turn out.
i really couldn't watch anymore after I saw so many of those dogs dead and just forgotten. And yes, I know I'm a little baby --but hurting animals really really bothers me
Why you don't keep the movie till the end, I mean the credits in full screen anymore?
Now that’s what u call a stressful day at work .
What a weakling Rayburn is, and because of him, many people will die at the hands of that killer. Nonsense.
I'm a fan of Screamfest but I'm not a fan of seeing animals injured or dead (whether it's fake or not)...it's just not necessary. Just ruins for me.
Wow. Super intense 🙆🏿♀️
😍😍😍
Cool! 👍
Powerful message
Kid will grow up to be a politician one day!
😂
I'm impressed..good movie
👏👏👏 Benissime actum! Plaudite omnes, plaudite!

He let a future serial killer go... what if he ends up killing his son in the future
Will it seems the professional killers got out smarter from a psychopath teenager.
noooo not the dogs😭😭😭😭 i think this is my limit
It was tough!!
Ayyyy Florida State film school! I'm FSU alumni!
❤️ FSU! We several on the channel.

Will you pls upload your shorts with English subtitles? (Even they are English dubbed...) Thx in advance.
PLEASE u can show dead kids, old ladyies and priests in terror... BUT NEVER SHOW DEAD DOGS without advising :( ;( :((((
Nice job 👏
Thanks for watching!
People who comments on how they are more concern about the killing of animal will definitely enjoy Birdshot
Worst hitman ever. He's been just told not to talk to them, also unable to shoot someone who just wanted to kill him a second ago. There were a couple of shorts I didn't like, but this is the most terrible one so far.
Some play for fame, some play for money and some play for the love of the game.
First shot... slide stays back indicating empty.
it was incredible, from the acting to the twist, and the locations were just so beautiful. Awesome work!
Kid was a cat in his previous life.
Not bad. Better than your football team is going to be.
MTV's Kurt Louder!...
What!?!..
I don't think this is good.....no lesson to be learned.....he's sitting at home all comfy eating steak.....not good.
Albert Chehade It seems to me there is no lesson, just a warning. Don’t do anything your not 100% sure you can do. Since he couldn’t take the “kid” out he let a budding serial killer free to roam the streets. That’s what I got.

OK. Thanks :)
Sure thing! 😉
I thought it was a simple "Live by the sword, Die by the sword" kind of lesson.
I can see that. But the partner who tripped and became helpless was the only one who learned that. The other two got to go home and have dinner with their families. Once again this movie was just straight up unsettling. So well done!

Can't handle killing or harming animals specially those sweet poppies.
Are you also one of those militant vegans?

It really bothered me that he drove home soaked in dog carcass water.

It was a tough one for sure.

Great idea/concept but I think it gets lost due to the way it's filmed/shown.
3 minutes good to know 😌 lol
Cruelty to animals stories are so hard to watch.
Agree!
