I dunno. I thought this entire story was an allegory for Alzheimers, which her Dad is in the grips of and which is creeping towards her (genetics hurt). Her Dad left the drill going, forgot to eat, was making the chairs in the same style, but missed how far afield he was going. He put the rabbit in the medicine cabinet. Dog is freaked out about their owner is acting and doors are open he thought he closed? He opened them and forgot about it. Brilliant way of showing how scary that disease is.

MrJoeboy101 I think you’re right. I saw that Natalie, the writer/director had a feature film called Relic & that is based on a family living with the effects of dementia. Haven’t seen it just speculating that it may be similar to this great short & in line with your thoughts

I think it is the son died at 16 1/2. His height measurement on the wall stops at that age. Sam is the girl. Charlie is the son that died. Charlie's spirit is attached to the Father. Notice at the end, when they show the entity slung over the Father's shoulder, the entity's back ( spine) is all deformed and crooked. Just like the chairs " backs" and " spines" were.

The scene in the woods is absolutely brilliant! You can just barely see something moving in the distance.. very haunting. It definitely gives you an uneasy feeling. I absolutely love this! A lot of fear and dread created in such a short time.

All thanks to Omeleto for this one! ❤ Creswick literally means 'house besides a cress/marsh'. Sam (Dana) has returned to her dad's place to help him shift from there. She encounters a sketchbook from her childhood in which she had made a drawing of a person standing far away midst tall trees. Her aging dad, (Chris) a carpenter who is busy making chairs, while talking to Sam states that her childhood belief is true; there was indeed a presence in their place. His son Charlie had died when he was 17 and now his entity has latched itself on him. The chair that looked like lungs with distorted bones is a work of the demon that's haunting the house and it is even preventing the duo from escaping from the house. Feel free to correct if I'm wrong!

I like how the sound effects of her walking from the shed to the house goes from dark, muffled to normal. It signifies how disturbed she was being in there and witnessing those disfigured chairs.

Brilliantly done. I appreciate how the chairs begin to look more human and skeletal. Like a spine, ribs, and a hip bone. A very nice detail that adds so much.

See you don't always need jump scares to have a scary short (even though I love a good jump scare) GREAT WORK

This short movie hits home for me. My mom and I grew up on the same old farm an in the same old house. We both had stuff making noises, moving stuff, and seeing shadows around. As a kid I just thought it was normal but those spirits would scare the crap out of me.

OMG i love this actress. She acted on the film where there was a condom on the floor , and she didn't know if it was her daughter's or her husband's

A well crafted short that leaves room to build and grow on the story and behavior. I especially enjoyed the atmospheric loneliness, sadness, emotional warmth, and bitter sweet melancholy (Sam's disturbing journal drawing and somewhat warm memories about the place) portrayed while also being beautiful. I really enjoyed the use of sonal and colorful contrasts to build tension, and to set scenes (Sam's room with the unsettling reveal of the sketch) and the environment (the still but subtly restless foreboding forest). I thought it was fantastic that you could see something move in the center of the forest as Sam first glanced down through it. I wondered why it was not replicated afterwards. I found the reveal disturbing not scary or shocking. I was clearly convinced that Sam, her father, and Duchess were not alone. I enjoyed this very much. Thank you.

That single shot of the chairs was more chilling than anything in "Hereditary"!

It was as if he had been carrying a backpack full of rocks and it was getting heavier and heavier day by day. And then it was really there...... His lost son. The pain.... The terrible pain.

Very good! How would anyone even come up with the idea of these deformed chairs? Never would I've imagined there could be anything creepy about forniture.

sometime their are morale at play you have to be there to understand

Sometimes what we believe to be supernatural it's just the product of our minds and emotions. The crooked chairs and the spinning tool in the shed represent in my opinion the fact that the dad has dementia or something similar so he forgets to turn off his tools and has altered perceptions of reality. Maybe someone died in the house (Charlie?), or maybe not but the house is haunted by memories, pain, the inability to let go of pain and the past. What she sees on her dad's shoulder is not a demon for me but the representation of what she perceives in the house, that is pain and her dad's progressive mental decay. That's the way I see it anyway. Loved it.

A good horror story with a smart protagonist and no jump scares. Glad I checked out the comments. Love the Alzheimer's and brother's accident theories.

The end scene with the trees looked exactly like her drawing at the beginning 😮

This one is by far the best one out of all omeleto horrors.

The trees and their lighting took me to a place I ones knew.

When abnormality's coexistence with normalcy is revealed, it can be heart-stopping. I mean, the chair "set"? C'mon! That is awesome! The first one is slightly weird. The finished set was grotesque in it's increasingly organic bizarreness. (I'm happily reminded of Swiss artist HR Giger.) Hapless dad. The dog looks freaked. And the cinematography is stunningly beautiful. Truly a horrifying film. Cheers!

Those bone chairs were way better than the others. I love them.

I usually read the comments first so I'll know what's going on. Sam was very believable and her expressions were spot-on. Very good performance.

There's an Asian folklore about an evil presence attaching itself to the back of its victims.. I'm not sure what it's called but I thought that this was an adaptation of it. Or maybe it is about shared family mental illnesses. Either way very well done!

Omeleto really needs to write HORROR if it’s horror genre before I click and am tempted to stay till the end

Disturbing and gloomy and creepy....LOVE THIS!!!!!

I really like these, there's a consistent high standard and I wish mainstream film makers would look at these and the ones from Screamfest and doubtless others, I think films would be better if they did! Of course the fact that they finish just when you decide you want to watch the thing like a whole film is really frustrating but I really like them!

This TERRIFIED me. I watched it with all the lights on and was still creeped out. Those chairs...Lord.

Blood went cold on that reveal. This was slow, subtle and eerie Nicely done with tension creeping in with each passing second

The presence on his back looked like Goldust for a sec lol it was interesting though.

I love everything about this film! Great job! 🤗🤗🤗 I want more like this. ❤

The subtle horror of this puts me in mind of Shirley Jackson's novels.

A truly eerie and terrifying short tale open to many interpretations of foreboding or encroaching madness.

That's my experience as well, this pretty much the sort of characters you get for carpentry apprenticeships these days.

The thing on the dad reminds me of the movie "Shutter".

Damn fine acting. Bloody brilliant!!

Brilliant!

Yes, very nicely done, no cheap effects, but the idea is very common. Who here does not carry something inside them? Who here knows exactly when something started? When it ended? Has it ended when we believe it did? How do you put an end to something? How to even start seeing yourself as a different, new, person? And above all - how easy it is to see that people carry things inside them. Too often you just don't want to see because it is too clear. And wanting or not too often you can't do a thing about it anyway.

I remember her in a another Omeleto, she was great!

I know that if I went back to my childhood home I would go effing nuts!!!

No, it isn't dementia! The perfectly fine chair that he builds in the morning proves that. There's a lot more that indicates of a presence: the stuffed bunny getting back in the house, the weird noises, the moving shadow, the dog sleeping outside, and the entity itself!! But, there's something nobody mentioned in the comments. The point of showing the drawing and the forest later on is to suggest that the entity has moved inside the house now. The drawing shows there was something in the forest but she doesn't see it there any more. You may have seen some movement but that's just light. Even the dog has no problem going to the forest with her. The father also says that the dog has started to sleep outside the house i.e. it wasn't the case before. So, the entity latches itself in the night and, probably, that's when the father goes to the workshop again and makes those grotesque chairs. That's why he feels weird about the open doors and possibly other stuff in the mornings and has decided to sell the house and move out from there.

@rachaelstanley7986

I certainly think that the entity is expressing itself in the chairs. I can't decide between dementia or supernatural but Sam felt the presence long ago before her father was old. She possibly felt the presence of death coming for her brother and now it has come for her father. I'm not convinced the entity is the dead son although he seems to refer to it as "son", the reason being the entity's deformity and short stature which is smaller than the heights drawn on the wall. May be he was calling Sam "son" and an indication of him getting confused in old age (although the actor is pretty fit).

Very ominous, creepy feeling. Would have liked to have seen more

I HAVE to give it an "A" for originality. GREAT FILM!

This short movie was a mix of horror and thriller. Hard to say if it was one or the another or a mix. LOL!

you can’t just stop it there😨

I don't even like horror, but this little film was excellent and scary.

this gives me The Haunting of Hill House vibes

Second viewing: it wasn't her childhood home, she lived with her mother. She felt the presence way before her brother died, therefore the entity existed before her brother died. May be the entity is a harbinger of impending death.
