There was too much jump scares and screeching noises tbh lol, not being mean but it ruined it for me. First jumpscare was great and made me jump, so 10 out of 10 for that one. After that though serious diminishing returns, i think. it also started off really creepy because you don't know what's going on and then it started going a bit downhill (in my opinion). When loud noises and jump scares are over used I think they start becoming a bit obnoxious instead of scary. I really don't think you need that much at all in it once the dread has been built up, especially since it's a short film. I think if you would have skipped the glowing eyes and loud noises it would have been way more creepy and would be more effective horror by building dread. Jump scares are great though when built up, but not when it's the majority of the horror. I think it's better to make the audience guess what's going on than having it shoved in your face like that, it's very on the nose. I think you could have also dragged it out a bit more for suspense too. I understand it's a short film but I think an extra few minutes of the mother walking around the house trying to figure out what was going on would have made the revelations towards the end more frightening. It's probably a bit challenging to pull of in a short film but No way at all impossible to perfect. An idea how you could have made it less on the nose is having her walk around the living room closing the blinds (having the father out of shot) with the daughter at the top of the stairs. Both the mother and daughter not knowing the father was standing in the room until she turns round. It could have been a natural jump scare doing it like that. The child would have been scared at the mother jumping back and maybe might have tried to come downtstairs worried about her mother, so you could have had the mother have numerous things to panic about. She can't look at him directly because the blinds are open and is right in front of her so she has to talk to him while she is looking away. She could maybe be dazed from hitting her head or something and would have trouble speaking as clearly. His voice could be very slow slightly warped and uncanny sounding, kind of like how you did towards the end too. Would make the audience guess if it was because she hit her head or because he's changed or controlled by something. Just an idea how I think it could have been a bit more scary and fear inducing. There is a lot of things you guys did well. The acting was pretty good, I was expecting worse. I did love the way he moved when he was standing at the window though, it was very uncanny and weird. That gentle swaying is a bit unsettling, at least for me anyway lol. I can see everyone involved put a lot of effort into it. I hope I didn't seem overly critical of your work, I still enjoyed it. I really love horror, and maybe hope to make my own one day if I ever got the time.

I've seen a version of it with Local58, which was great as analog horror, but to see it played out with actual people was so chilling. again, kudos to the entire team!

Well yeah, it's a basic jumpscare.

Fun story, I actually went on a walk tonight, and the moon was shining weirdly bright. Let’s just say I was absolutely terrified and immediately started speed-walking home. Also, this was genuinely so well-made! You can tell there was a lot of care and compassion that went making it. The general blue lighting and seemingly constant light wind set the mood perfectly, and really made you feel scared for the characters. On that topic, THE CHARACTERS. As soon as you start out, seeing Liz immediately going to her daughter’s room to check on her, you can tell she really worries and cares about her. The chemistry between actors was incredible, and Audrey did an amazing job. Also our wholesome cinnamon roll Jono is now absolutely terrifying so that’s something. Pretty sure I’ll have nightmares for weeks, you guys all did amazing. Thanks for making this to share with us, Alan, you truly did an incredible job.

Exactly. Not only that, when she locks her daughter and herself in the bedroom, she locks the door and just sits on the bed. Her crazed husband easily bursts through the door and gets to them. How dumb is that? She should have immediately moved heavy furniture in front of the door to block him out. It’s like she had a secret death wish.

The way that this movie drops you right into the situation is fantastic; wastes no time explaining, just gets right to the horror! Fantastic job to everyone!

The thing I love about this film most, is how it’s sets up this terrible situation, and something that couldn’t happen in real life, but made it clear to understand, while not trying to hard to make it feel scary, you did the perfect amount of spook. You also did it in a way that allows the viewer time to naturally immerse themselves which makes it so much more scary. It came out awesome, Alan, I can’t wait to see your projects in the future!

This is going to be weird but wholesome, but I want to see this because of the vibes BEHIND the camera. My besties and I worked for over a year making a fan-film of an older anime called Vampire Hunter D that wound up making it to Dark Horse Comics' corporate and Hideyuki Kikuchi, the creator of the series, screened our little film with his industry buddies in a conference in Shinjuku, because he liked it so much. We're nobodies from Idaho. We busted our asses in knee-deep wet snow for a ten-hour shoot for one minute-long scene, and the lightning-in-a-bottle comradery that comes from filming a passion project with the perfect crew on a shoestring budget is unparalleled.

This was quite an interesting short film to watch. The writers and actors wove many threads and motifs together, as well as a few dark humor moments, into a really strong piece. There is also an apocalyptic element to it without revealing a who or what and, unlike most "end of civilization" movies, the only reason humankind may be undone is because they had a natural reaction. Very well written and gives the audience a lot to think about after just a few minutes of view time. Would love to see more from these screenwriters!

I would love to see this turned into a full-length horror novel. It's a wonderful premise, and makes me so curious about the moon-zombies, or whatever they are - do they kill other people, do they force them to look at the moon, what happens to them after dawn? Very intriguing!

@@troin3925 First of all the idea of the moon causing madness is ancient and dates back to the 1540s. Hence the term lunacy. Why is anyone surprised that a few different people might make a video about it at the same time? If anything it's more surprising that it took someone so long to do it. Second of all, the moon is beautiful regardless of whether or not it is causing insanity. No one disputes this. Humans have had a fascination with it for as long as we have stared at the night sky. We have made numerous stories and theories about it and anthropomorphized it as a god or goddess throughout many cultures. Third, the term for coming up with a similar idea as someone else at the same time has a number of terms including zeitgeist, multiple discovery and simultaneous invention. It has happened many times throughout history. It will happen again in future. Fourth, white knighting is a lame term used by people with no argument to try and discredit those who disagree with them. It's really no different than calling anyone who says something you don't like sexist or racist to try to shut them down. Once you resort to calling people names it is a sure sign of having lost the argument. Be better than that. And make better arguments as well.

I hope you are still working toward an expansion of this piece. It is brilliant (due in no small part to the moonlight, no doubt)…..and remember, DON’T LOOK AT THE MOON! Just please simply create a feature film version so WE can look at the moon❤

This film was really really well done but the reveal of Rod’s Moonstruck eyes made me laugh. I don’t know whether it’s his expression or the way his eyes glow like that but it was far funnier than it should have been

that jono walking across the room jump scare got me the most 😭

God watching this at 3:30 in the morning with the moon out the window above my monitor scared the hell out of me, especially that first jump scare with Johnathan walking quickly in the background.

I loved it! All of these messages in the beginning makes you wonder what's going on and scares you. The idea that something so natural, usual as the moon can be dangerous is terrifying. The music and the acting are GREAT

I had a nightmare when I was really young that I was in my room in the dark, and my blinds were open and I could see the full moon, and the moon was moving closer and closer to the window and a really weird way until it crashed through my window. It scared me, and since then, I've still felt odd when I'm in a dark room, and I can see the light from the full moon coming through the window. This taps into not only a primal fear, but my own personal discomfort from a silly childhood dream. Well done! Very cool idea, very simple, yet effective. Well acted and filmed! I watch a lot of these short films and this was honestly one of my favorites!

I usually don't do horror (freaks me out too much), however this made me laugh. I don't think that's a bad thing, I would defo watch this again and I reckon if I was watching it in the nighttime I would be spooked. Rod sounding so innocent, as per Jono's persona IRL, was the but that made me laugh but was a good casting/writing. Jono is a character we wouldn't suspect.

"Stay away from the light Jackie" -The Darkness This was awesome Alan! And everyone who worked on it!

I’d love to see more episodes of this. Perspectives of people from all over (government, first responders, survivors in the aftermath, etc.)

Ok I’ll be honest. Normally glowing eyes in horror don’t phase me anymore but the shot of Ron’s glowing blue eyes legitimately creeped me out. Like he just looks so manic and unworldly

I wonder if Alan is a fan of Local58. The beginning reminds me of the Weather Service video and other ones about the moon. Well done, Alan! Excellent film!

I love it!! Usually in horror movies, they use an evil ghost or a serial killer/slasher but this movie is creative because you used the moon as an "evil anomaly". So it's different from other horror movies and less cliché. Also, the fact that there's no explanation or reason given for the moon to be evil and for infecting any people who look at it, is a good thing because it's scarier if we don't know everything. It is mysterious then, and has eerie vibes. Also the music and the lighting are very beautiful. Great cinematic! One of the best short horror movies I seen on KZread!! Congratulations from France.

I actually jumped at some parts in this, and the idea to not look at something that is a really common thing to look at like the moon was an amazing idea!!!

I said this in the livestream posted right after this, but!! This sort of almost reminds me of the pandemic, like the whole "look at the moon!" thing being like in early-mid 2020 with the whole "take off your masks!" thing... Crazy, because this Reddit prompt (The one that inspired this, as well as the Analog horror series Local 58, as acknowledged by Alan in the livestream) was posted in 2017, so over 2 years beforehand!! 😲

Absolutely loved the music and pacing! Shona was fantastic! Jonothan did a great job in his movements and nailed the slow anticipation to a fast action. Audrey was so good too! Excellent use of plastic As a night owl, and horror lover this was great to finally see! Big congrats to Alan and the entire team, can't wait for more!

The score is so terrific!!! Great job!

Gotta love this nice little hidden touch of the text message from "Al'lain Oceanwrong" in her notifications. I see what you did, Alan.

As someone from Ukraine who has received emergency notifications on their phone before I should add that she would've had a heart attack from the the notification sound and vibration. Trust me, it's REALLY LOUD, especially in the middle of the night when you're used to silence

@Andrew Havrylei - Please, you and everyone you know, stay unharmed. If I had a fighter tank, I would send it to you.

It reminds me The Owls of Ga'Hoole with all my good memories I can't wait to watch , Congratulations! our dearest Internet Dads

Awesome job. The text messages conveying the situation and then the news reports are great exposition done cleverly. Great acting and I liked the mix of sci-fi and horror. The ones I have been watching are mostly "monster" horror, but this is different and I liked it. Hope you guys keep up with the good quality.

This was so fun to watch! The sound-design and editing was incredible, congratulations on making such a great short film!!

This was mega kudos to everyone involved 👏 it gave me a mix of Us, The Invitation, Birdbox, and David F Samberg vibes - would definitely pay to see a full feature 🤙

Amazing how many it people it takes to make this: it shows that to get this level of quality you need mega resources, as well as the vision of it all

It makes no sense how epic the music score is for this short film. 🤯

Okay, but this was absolutely fantastic. Everyone did such a great job! Man it was weird seeing such a nice dude as a villain, but man did he act it so well! The way you wrote this idea was both wonderfully creative and so interesting. Great job everyone, this was genuinely a chilling experience.

It’s not creative. The idea is stolen from the analog horror channel Local 58

Why did you start with “okay but” as if no one liked it except you? That’s a worse opening phrase than “why is no one talking about...” when everyone is

@@Hey_Jamiebuddy we get it you don’t do your research

Damn, well done everyone. The vibe was so well-made: The score, the lighting, what angles the scened where shot from, they just played together beautifully. The actors did a great job, especially the actress who played the leading role really made me feel with the character. And now it's time to watch the therapist reacts to video for this xD Edit: Also I would definitely be one of the first to look at the moon and go crazy

This was awesome, such a great concept. Please, give us more, this deserves expansion!!! I came to support, I stayed for the lore!

The fingers in the door. Perfection.

I love a Horror film that remembers not to take itself too seriously. A great balance of creepy and camp here and I enjoyed it a lot. I left wanting to know more beyond this one moment in a family home. It deserves a full feature treatment to flesh out this interesting idea. Kudos, friends! 🌚

I love all the effects and sounds when the moon people screech it looks so cool

I hurried up and sub like... It's raining cloudy and cold... This is the perfect movie I love it!... Hopefully it's a part two... I can't wait

This should be a whole movie.

It's so great to finally see some of Alan's work as a director. I can't wait to see more!

Hell yeah! This was absolutely phenomenal. Watching this come together over the past year has been so much fun and you should all be so proud of what you did here. I can't wait to see what you guys do next.

Really awesome short you guys have done! Devastated that it isnt a full film ... I didn't want it to end i enjoyed it that much :)

Good job guys 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Proud of you for getting your amazing work out there!! Thank you Jono for falling down the stairs for us 🫶🏼

Watching this for the third time, the jump scare of Moono walking past got me more this time.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SPOOKY!! 🌝😱 And I LOVE it! Bravo to Alan and he entire crew for making this wonderful bit of cinema! Truly inspiriing! 🤩

"That's no moon. That's a space station."

Coincidentally my clock was a 2:13. That's so cool. Horror KZread channels should use the stats of the channel to make these things happen more often

This is like a really cool alternate version of Bird Box. Great work, and I want more!! 😊

*looks at the sun instead*

This just showed up in my feed. Wow! That was fantastic! If you make this feature length, I’m buying a ticket! Well done!

Well done ! Props to all the crew, behind and in front of the camera !

Geezeus. This is like SCP-001 When Day Breaks. And I am just as terrified of it! Magnificent work Alan and everyone!

I was more reminded of Local 58.

This was so fun to watch! I loved it ^-^ Especially your kiddo, she did so great! And the newscasting in the background was on point. You guys did well with the notifs on her phone too. OH! And I absolutely need those curtains!! This whole thing gives major 'Day of the Triffids' vibes :D ETA: Oh! And I really liked the heel-digging shot- it's so hard to get that feel with carpet, but you guys made it work. That was spot on.

Very very creepy and original!!!! Horror and unaspected idea! Best compliments!

Just started to watch this coming back from some evening shopping and there's a beautiful full Moon waxing outside. I love it how the danger is present right from the start, great use of light especially in this case.

The scariest/most surprising thing to me was seeing Jonathan playing the husband. I was so shocked! Jonathan can actually be scary 😧

Magnificent! Beautiful work of a true genius! The suspense is just killing, the actions of characters are perfectly justifiable, no tropes overuse. Simply put -- perfect!

I really can't the only one who want a series out of this, am I?😫😫😫

Coming out of my shell and actually watching horror because I want to support Alan with everything that i can

Thank you Alan and Team, i am terrified for weeks but i am happy

I've been waiting for this for a long time...awesome short film. I jumped a few times and Jono's screams scared me. Love the music.

Already worried about moon during day time

His Throne. REJOICE.

That was brilliantly done, thank you! Intriguing plot, great acting and the effects were perfect.

Chills. Literal chills. I am such a huge fan of short horror films!! This was fantastic. Looking forward to what comes next!!

​This is such a good short film, can't wait to show it to all my friends
