Just loved when "Eyes Without a Face" started playing; the song was inspired by the 60's French horror film "Les Yeux Sans Visage" - literally, eyes without a face. Good tie-in all around.

The difference is that, Billy Idol sang the song more as an ode - via "dope poetry", regarding his own heroin addiction. And Idol's now ex-wife, who sang in the song's background "les yeux sans visage" ("eyes without a face"): she was also a dancer, who would perform with the great, late STeve STrange and his leading "New Romanic" group, *VISAGE.* Befitting.

Phenomenal story! In reality, it was a game that she shouldn't have WANTED to win. If she had left the box alone at the end, she really would have won, in a sense. She wanted to take a shortcut in order to remove her fear. That usually doesn't work in the real world and it sure didn't work here, either. Insanely creepy ending. It was perfect! Plus, the house setting is gorgeous, too. And the dark background music, along with the spots of suspense when there is no music at all, make for the best kind of fear film. I loved every second of this short horror film. I'm looking forward to watching more from you!

I actually disagree! She had a phobia, a true one, and I believe the box could have cured her of that. I don't believe it to be cheating, because she WAS working on herself - or trying to - that's why she got the chance to use it at all. Problem with mystical objects is they don't give a toss WHY you broke 'The Rules,' you just did. Her fate was sealed when she did, and she brought it literally on herself with every move after the initial rule break.

This is Perfect. Nice storyline, nice effect and the actress played her role very well. On the side note, just a piece of advice. If your job is to pet sit a cat, just fucking pet sit a cat and don't do anything rather than that, it will save you from a lot of trouble. Awesome film!!!

You didn't fail to take it far enough, you didn't go too far, didn't make the classic mistakes of showing the elephant or losing the psychological element or resorting to cheap jumpscares... your story made internal sense and was so much more satisfying than simple blood or death. The final song was truly the cherry on top, too. I started laughing after the first few notes because I recognized it immediately. What a clever joke and perfect chaser.

We dont need her whole back story and watching her go to dinner and 10 minutes of driving. They just cut to the chase and give you the meat of the story which is all we want anyway.

This was really good. It brings in all the classic horror tricks; startled cat, darkness, unexplained noises and a scared young girl. Any additional characters would spoil it. Really good.

dude that was sick... loved it.. was totally zoned in!

Loved this. Two of my favorite parts from this is probably the way it displayed how the woman was afraid of the dark and saw things in it that weren't there and the ending that the box took the woman's eyes as a punishment, so now the woman is forced to forever see nothing but darkness and live in fear forever. The punishment that was given was pretty dark (pun intended) but also seemed fitting for the situation/phobia. One thing I would like to ask is if you guys are gonna make another one of these videos but have the player win? I just would like to see what exactly happens when someone successfully completes the box's challenge.

Brilliant film making! I love the little ironic details such as "the best is yet to come" bottle opener! Definitely a superior talent on show here. Massive 👍
