Amazing film. very dark but light in places. I thought they would sleep together but glad they didn't (so predictable at times) but the ending was something else. Like people say, you NEVER know whats going on in someones brain. Excellent story, filming and for a short film it was packed with atmosphere. Well done to everyone behind this film. Keep on doing what you are doing.
@@KutWrite I think she was setting up her own death but pretending it was a storyline for the roommates play. The guy thought she was talking about him, but she was actually talking about her own suicide.
I specifically noticed myself just cause I smoke pot, the little nod as they smoke a joint the are you passin it or hittin it deal, look at them then look at the weed...did that well, and great story
@@bhing1483 Agree. We don't have to wait to learn it from a film to "find out & be aware". That happens every time, every day in front of us. We just pretend to be blind until a movie "teaches the public" to do so.
I am not sure what this film is trying to communicate.. Fred says that no matter how successful you seem to be, if you can't find peace with your inner self, you would find yourself running away from the real issues and once you run out of breath, you just helplessly succumb to your deep buried wounds. For Fred it is more easy to kill herself than pushing away the final battle with yourself as long as you can and when you have got nothing left but the battle, you must face it and there awaits your defeat following a slow death. To Fred this is the destiny of man no matter how happy and content is he with his material life. So she chose to not face that. She chose her way of death and the one who executes it and thereby she sort of has wrote her own destiny. Until the very end she was the one in control, using her pawns to do their job.
It took me 2 years but i think i got it. From lethargy to working, from curiosity to fear, from carelessness to passion, i think the story is about knowing that life is a war not a game. Life is too costly to be half asses.
SPOILER!!! . . Let me see if I got it. Did Sam think Fred was going to kill Justin out of jealousy, then maybe kill him in anger, but instead she killed herself?
It seems that way , but i also wondered if she was trying to frame him .. seen as she TOLD HIM to use GARLIC . But i guess it was still a suicide mission . Very messed up & bizarre.
Stunning! Literally a stunner of a finale. Huge congratulations to all involved in making this tricky masterpiece. The actors were so good I quickly became totally invested in the story & possible outcome, yet it was so subtly clever I didnt see that twist coming.🎉 Best piece of film ive seen in a while. So refreshing to be shocked at how intelligent & entertaining it was. love it! On 4th watch!
@@Colin-Fenix A little slow and drawn out for the overall prize, sure, but you'll have to explain how it was unbelievable. We're not given nearly enough information to say that imo.
@@thisisme5487 - I had to rewatch since I made this comment 6 months ago. Yup, I stick by the unbelievable. She committed suicide and covered it up as an accident? If nothing else, it's too "plot-twisty" for its own good. As you said, we aren't given enough story to really buy any of the plot, so perhaps I am just reacting to what I see as a trend in our modern "everyone gets a prize" YT culture and saying my opinion, it wasn't that good and no, I don't find the story or plot twist believable. His acting was okay, the other two... nah, not so much.
@@Colin-Fenix go watch some bluey or some shiz more along the lines of your attention span, this was a fantastic short that had me on the edge of my seat, literally
It seems way less traumatic than i thought. I think about taking my own life or disappearing ever since i was a kid. I've made multiple, very poorly, attempts and stopped recently because I don't want to traumatize people around me. But this made me think that sometimes people don't get trauma over this. Very bad memories for sure, but not necessarily trauma. And at last, you can get over trauma, you can manage it. I mean, i'm not affected by my bad memories anymore. If i believe in the people around me, I believe they can work through it.
If you still feel like taking your life those bad things are probably affecting you more than you think… please seek help. I say this from a place of compassion & empathy. You are loved & you would be sorely missed. So much to live for
The fact you are putting other peoples' well-being into consideration during a dark time shows you are a person full of empathy and love for others. The world needs more people like you, my friend. Please take care of yourself. The dark times will pass, as nothing is ever constant. You just need to help yourself, and let others help you. Keep in mind that it's okay to not be okay. I hope you know how strong you are. I wish for the best for you
@@lizziem Well, she did died alone. Cause she's the only one who's allergic to garlic. So what do you mean by that? Cause she had no intention of killing her cousin or his roommate. If she did, she would've sprinkled poison into the spaghetti.
A bit triggering as i lost my son last june 2023... I opened the door ..he d already crossed the street ...he looked good ,i fidnt call him back because i knew he d be back....but i never hugged him or said i loved him or looked into his big brown eyes again 🥺
@@stregahex Anaphylaxis is a life threatening allergic response to anything, not just garlic or onions. Most common is medication such as penicillin, and peanuts/nuts, shellfish, eggs, bee/wasp venom etc.
I was thinking as I was watching, when someone with psychological problems tells you they flushed their meds. You should probably find somewhere else to stay for a few days.
@@kaylinbalogun1853 so that she can be aware that he (her brother) might try something like this as well, and maybe she can prevent him from trying as such??)
I'm so conflicted with some of the Omeleto shorts. They're so well made, but the message is difficult. Just don't know. (Also spaghetti for breakfast? Only in Canada?)
Garlic allergies are rare, but do exist. Anaphylactic shock to a food-based allergen can cause the throat to swell, restricting breathing. It's possible to suffocate from this.
interesting - a stoner able to engage in repartee without breaking down into giggling fits or fixating on an empty 7-up bottle. then the girl shows up and its mumbled repartee and not as clever. So it 9:43 into the short, and there's still no story, only buildup. Maybe I'll watch some more later....
Well for once Asian people are making and eating non-Asian food, with out chopstix mind you. And there’s no medication she could be on that would kill the guy via spiking the food either. She would only be taking an anti-depressant or anti-psychotic which doesn’t kill, sorry but it’s a plot blunder

WOW, I did NOT see that coming at all. This is FANTASTIC! I loved all of you, but the woman is outstanding. I'm thrilled!
Ten minutes in and I have that “Omg, this is an Omeleto film so someone is going to die” moment. 😅
Great acting. Very natural. Good story line.
@Digby Dooright: I was confused too.

Absolutely love this film. Starts off casually and flows perfectly. And then it gets more interesting. Unexpected. Well done
Art imitates life imitating art. Full circle. Complete. Wholeness.
This was amazing. Didn't see that ending coming a mile away.
This was brilliant… loved the storytelling, had to watch twice.
Up to four times now. The subtleties grow with every view. Just like the aroma from slow roasted garlic.....
This plot was superb, didn't see that one coming at all
After watching this it makes me feel we all should be aware of others feelings and mental health.
We should have been all along.

I get how she felt. I’m weary of running, myself.
Really cool Hitchcock type film, loved it. Wasn't left without an ending like so many of these short films do. A+++
Heavy burden for the roommate and the cousin. Brilliantly created and acted film!
Tremendous acting, combined with a twist at the end. Congratulations to all involved.
Just Wow!!! Top marks.
It took me 2 years but i think i got it. From lethargy to working, from curiosity to fear, from carelessness to passion, i think the story is about knowing that life is a war not a game. Life is too costly to be half asses.
Watch it twice for the foreshadowing. Brill.
Love the video especially that the dog was in credits lol
I knew she would be his muse, but wow!

A natural death may provide you with answers before dying.
Wonderfully done!
I loved this. One of my favourites! (I also loved that it was based in Ontario!)
Ok, left me in my feelings but I really have to share it
One of the best.
Great script . . . great video!
So Fred wanted to commit suicide? That's why she told Sam to put garlic in the meatballs?
Weird, though to do it in front of others.
@@Cate7451 Maybe she's desperate enough to do it that way?
Yes, that way she doesn't have to die alone.
@@lizziem Well, she did died alone. Cause she's the only one who's allergic to garlic. So what do you mean by that? Cause she had no intention of killing her cousin or his roommate. If she did, she would've sprinkled poison into the spaghetti.
@@lizziem that’s a good point. Suicide is always in front of others.
I need to stop reading the damn comments before watching….ruin it for me every damn time
Same
An allergy to garlic? That's a new one on me.
Really? It's in every vampire story.
@@JustinHaskellWheelz Good point!
Unexpected twist.
Ooooo great modernism style suspense and drama. Great writing! Refreshing short and story.
This is so good. But so sad.
Everything was wrong about the cousin from second 1. She scared the roommate and she scared me.
A bit triggering as i lost my son last june 2023...
I opened the door ..he d already crossed the street ...he looked good ,i fidnt call him back because i knew he d be back....but i never hugged him or said i loved him or looked into his big brown eyes again 🥺
So very sorry.....
Total Hitchcockian!!
My thoughts exactly!
yeah they really hit it on the head
Love the unpredictability
Can someone please explain? Did she purposely put garlic in the meatballs so that she could die?
It depends on how well the roommate sells it.
Uh...yeah.
She didn't do it. "The roommate does."
No wonder she didn't touch the meat in the first place. But he follows her instructions pretty well.
@@stregahex Semantics. She PURPOSEFULLY told him to put it in. This was a pure case of suicide. Similar to "suicide by cop."
Yes she did. She told him to put 3 cloves of garlic in knowing she’s anaphylactic to garlic
I was really hoping they would get together.

That was quality!

Is this the actor Detective Llewelyn Watts from Murdoch Mysteries. I love his character on MM.
She killed herself over her adoption issues. Cousin mentioned it first, Sams hurtful comment when he wanted her to leave was the proverbial straw.
reallly liked this quintessential toronto life
I loved the music in the film
LOVED IT!
Ooohweeeeeeee that was fantastic. Great acting, story, plot.
Brilliant!
She was in a way too good mood - that gave me some clue about something... But not this tho 😁
Great catch! People who deside to commit suicide often seem to be in a better mood than they had been in.
Why try and frame him? Just so her family could have a better peace of mind.
Dark. Gloomy. Take if you hate happiness.
Behind every story there is a tragedy
I spoiled myself reading the comments 😞
First time on the internet?
Rojo Amanecer. #1 apartment movie.
I've seen the Bergman but I've totally forgotten it. lol
So she came here to kill herself. As she told him to put Garlic in the Meat Balls. Good & scary film 📼 though.
What a gripping ending! Very engaging. A tragic rainbow after the storm.
This was really creepy, but a good plot!
Nothing is simple anymore. Very hitchcockian
she left him with a story to write
Awesome
Is an allergy to garlic a real thing?
Or was she a vampire?
Yes. It is called Anaphylaxis. Being allergic to garlic & onions, shellfish, nuts, milk, eggs, etc.
@@stregahex Anaphylaxis is a life threatening allergic response to anything, not just garlic or onions. Most common is medication such as penicillin, and peanuts/nuts, shellfish, eggs, bee/wasp venom etc.
Not just garlic, nut allergy, dairy products allergy, etc. Even water allergy. I heard that once. It's very rare.
She was a vampire 🧛♀️
I was thinking as I was watching, when someone with psychological problems tells you they flushed their meds. You should probably find somewhere else to stay for a few days.
No, the apartment in Repulsion, is Not better than the one in Rosemary's Baby.
NEVER SAW ANY BERGMAN? They say like it's a good thing. Absurd. Bergman influenced every good Modern Diector because he's so damn great.
Clever
Did Sams comment about the reason her parents gave her up for adoption cement her decision?
WOW
I'm speechless.
He reminds me of mark rober.
This was so good. My wife's brother is dealing with suicidal idealation and going to have to show her this one.
What? Why?
what is wrong with you ? that's a terrible idea

Lunch. He said he was getting back by noon on Sunday.
They stayed up late and woke up at lunchtime
Not everything needs to have a message. What is this dar man lol
Huh, death by garlic?🤔
Garlic allergies are rare, but do exist. Anaphylactic shock to a food-based allergen can cause the throat to swell, restricting breathing. It's possible to suffocate from this.

It is not a plot blunder if Sam knows nothing about meds.
The whole "I wrote a script about writing a script" is already completely played out
I don't get it.
