Thanks mom for teaching me to lock the doors as soon as I reach home 😎
I will never understand why people leave the doors unlocked until they decide to go to bed... Like... You didn't care all day but when you go to sleep, it somehow matters.

The door was locked she just put the extra safety chain on. Can't really have a chain lock on when you need to get in and out of your houose during the day. Plus her door was locked when she came home because she had to open it with a key. So the stranger must have broken in somewhere else other than the front door.

Very good. No monster, no demons no jump scares. Just a real threat. That alone is horrifying. And to think he was there for so long.😣
If you are living alone you should keep checking your security cameras. And no matter how safe ur house is don't forget to lock your door.
Filmmakers, please remember that most of your viewers can't see in the dark. I feel like I missed some scenes that are important to the plot. What happened at the end?
I always understand I leave the door locked until I decide to go to bed like I don't care at all but when I get to sleep it somehow matters to me
I think I'll sleep with lights on tonight.

You can take a shower without hairwash? Her hair is in a bun... Most women do that...
why does she keep throwing everything on the floor. 😂😂😂
The actress is sensual and innocent at the same time

The buildup and suspense is definitely there...dark settings,..expected something in the basement scene!! would like to see more.⭐
That house way too big and dark without lights on, thats scarey enough
Actually, I scared all along with the darkness and the thought of monster will jump out, appear at any moment in that house.
Turn all the lights on girl
Very nice work on building the mood of it. I'll definitely give the rest of your content a look!

Why make it so dark, its like seeing into a black hole. Can hardly see some scenes.
Great suspense all the way through. Do a monster under the bed film. I think you’d do that concept a real justice

Great job! I can't believe you did all of this in just 9 hours and with 3 people! That's incredible. I like the prolonged suspenseful pacing. Nice cinematography too. Good job by the actress as well! She was likable and didn't oversell being scared or uncomfortable. I even liked the Christmas setting. Feels even more isolated. Make more movies!

I like it! Good suspense, nice picture considering crew of only 3 people, but I think it's too long. Some detailes I would have taken away
The first 3.5 minutes try too hard to be scary and as a result, they aren't. I'd start in the bathroom. Simple things, like removing the music and using natural sound as she walks up the house would help. It's scarier to talk into a dark house, then one full light. If we saw the snowman as she walked up to the port, they would be eerie.

Not bad at all! From a fellow filmmaker, I would just suggest going back and cutting your edits in a few places to pace it a little quicker. I was most saddened that it was open ended! Cool choice for the intruder, but otherwise, good work.

Gotta disagree! Too many horror shorts leave too little time between scares; this film's pace was slow enough that it let the suspense build, which really worked in the film's favor.

I imagine people will have different responses, but I liked that it was left open-ended. The protagonist usually has that point of realization--it's just a matter of when it will happen--and then the battle ensues. But leaving her completely vulnerable to the end really elevated the tension for me.
i just like her sweatshirt
Most time we see in USA and other countries where single person or two persons stay in a single building but that things may not be possible for us I think that's why they can utilise their brains fully without disturbance and they do what they want when I see that I miss it in my study period and I request that girl can you make me your partner
Unnecessary suspense

Why did she draw the curtains at the bath if she was sure of being alone. And while taking out the towel too she was careful enough to extend her hand out of curtains without drawing them apart as if someone was there. Perhaps the crew of the film were there! 🤣

not bad, reminds me of my first short except yours is much darker in term of color wise and barely dialogues. shots great, and tips for musics (only in australia), if you're using CC free musics make sure to credit them. doesnt matter if you are profitting off it. Trust me, because you don't want licensing issues and yes free music has those.

She gets in shower. Gets out. No water.
what happens next? is he going to kill her or kidnap her? leaves you thinking
Really slow with nothing much happening. Luckily the lead was attractive (enough). U should watch stuff like When A Stranger Calls. That one has lots of stuff happening without actually much happening if u catch my drift

افلام تافه ماعندكم شىء جديد
It's interesting to note that she never wears underpants. I'm already in love!
1) To call a movie "horror" it must have a supernatural entity, that's what the literature says. This is obviously not horror. 2) A part of that, it lasts for 11 minutes and nothing happens for more then 9 minutes, this makes the movie slow and boring, sorry to say. Some suggestions: 1) Cut everything 2) Do some good scenes playing with some shades in the dark area of the several rooms, maybe some sinister sounds coming from somewhere in the house 3) Everybody must see that there is a monster: which can be the shade itself that slips on the walls/ceilings/doors. This will create the atmosphere 4) She is not afraid, thinks it's only her imagination 5) Slowly create the tension, like sometime let her go out of the frame and make everybody sees the shade moving on the wall right behind her. 6) Then you'll have everything set up for the big jump scary at the end, when the monster finally reveals itself to kill her just an idea to work on what you have: a big house and a loneness girl. Good luck.
