There are some psychological horror masterpieces out there that are astonishingly ingenious at instilling dread that gradually increases and doesnt fall away. The focus is on atmosphere and shock value which is a much more sophisticated aspect to horror. Fyi Hereditary is my favourite film. A24 in general is a legendary production company for the horror genre. Found footage films are also a gem. Host (2020), Hell House LLC, As Above so Below. Asvinns short horror is bloody horrifying (this one was nightmare feul). If your watching films that indulge in cliche thrills and excessive violence for scariness then you've been missing out imo.

I really enjoyed the twists and would only say that this cake needs more bread under the frosting, and a full length movie would do that. Just so many great actors chewing up the scenery and quick quirky bits need some recovery time to recover from the sugar shock. Just the other day we where talking here about quantum entanglement and how you can't use it for communication due to measuring it changes it. This moving hinges on just that! Well, that and having one person for some unknown reason, can see old man Schrödinger. A back story for that would be cool, like... Ooooo! They got entangled enough to see each other?

This needs to be a full film!! It was great and gives a different perspective on what death could be. Battling good and evil in life and good and evil in death! You gotta make this! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

She air kissed the old guy good buy at the exact moment he died. She did the little song. She clearly could see something when the old man left, but she didn't tell anyone she could see what was happening. I'm not sure she was the same person in with the black holding the creepy dolly thing. The idea that she was more than she seemed is interesting. She was definitely a character the director chose to highlight, but I missed her significance. Interesting comment. I am also surprised that the doc clearly is deciding to let something potentially nasty happen to the director in the hope it might stop the experiment.

The final act this section is true gold, but like all things could be tweaked and drawn out a bit for increased tension, better effects larger scale, Id absolutely want this experiment to be conducted in the movie at some deep deep underground facility where extraneous EM can be shielded and some incredibly accurate bio bed scale to measure weight change at TOD. One could even add in some religious subplot of the catholic church as well, and some zealots secretly being part of the team

Absolutely genius, film making is definitely your forte, great actors,great story. Captivated me from the beginning. Love, love love!!!!

Thanks! This was awesome! Only wish it was longer.

That was amazing. And needs a part 2...! Having Marisa Tomei was brilliant idea as she is an excellent actress and always gives brilliant performances which add realism and credibility to the story.

Chills literal chill. My goodness the plot and monster designs were haunting. You and your team deserve 👏. Ty for a tru solid horror experience. Better than most of the "horror" now a days.

Demons* they were after the lost soul

Wow heigh quality, great performance, fantastic actors… better than majority of the movies on Netflix. Keep up the quality and thank you for fantastic 17 minutes

Absolutely the bestest (if the word exists) movie I have seen till date. I so wish to see a movie that expands this idea further.

They absolutely killed it. Paulo especially. I love the cliffhanger end, it leaves the mind reeling, wonder what happened next but given enough to assume what could have happened. Its a great way to end a story because it keeps you thinking about it.

The most important question is not what happens at the moment of death, but what happens in eternity afterwards.

​@matthewedwards6454 I always find these views on "nothing" in the afterlife funny. Your hope is that when you die you experience nothing, when you define nothing from a (probably depressed) human standpoint. Have you ever thought that when you die, rather than experiencing nothing, you would actually experience everything the universe would have to offer all at once for all eternity? In a sense, that would also be a form of nothing. It certainly makes more sense for energy to sink back into the primordial soup of reality than for it to just dissipate into emptiness Can you imagine that? Experiencing endless whitenoise and visuals with no consciousness to actually enjoy or understand them? Truly nothing.

"Sum. forty tales from the afterlives" David Eagleman "At once funny, wistful and unsettling, Sum is a dazzling exploration of unexpected afterlives-each presented as a vignette that offers a stunning lens through which to see ourselves in the here and now. In one afterlife, you may find that God is the size of a microbe and unaware of your existence. In another version, you work as a background character in other people's dreams. Or you may find that God is a married couple, or that the universe is running backward, or that you are forced to live out your afterlife with annoying versions of who you could have been. With a probing imagination and deep understanding of the human condition, acclaimed neuroscientist David Eagleman offers wonderfully imagined tales that shine a brilliant light on the here and now."

Absolutely fantastic, more engaging and unsettling than any full-length horror movie I've seen for a while. Plus, it's always great to see Paulo Costanzo in anything.

Amazing!! This is what we need to bring back ❤

OH MY GOD THAT WAS AMAZING!!!! PLEASE MAKE IT A FULL LENGTH MOVIE!!!

That was BEAUTIFUL! The story is very exciting and elegantly laid out. I’m 60 and a 10 year Army Veteran. Not much frightens me. Seeing what was captured in the chamber is going to give me nightmares. Your work is fantastic. And Minnie looks great!

Marisa and Mininie are such great actresses. This film would make an awesome series that blends the big questions with faith and horror.

I remember seeing something several years ago about a scientific team having terminally ill volunteers sleep in specially made beds on scales to measure any weight loss at the time of death. There WAS a weight loss. The doctor running the experiment studdied near death experiences and because of his analysis he believed absolutely in the existence of souls. Many of us take this on faith. There is definitely a public interest in this. Dear Producer, If you you make a full length film on this people WILL come to the theater. I certainly will and so will my friends. Nice work.

Air has weight. As the lungs deflate, that weight would be lost.

This is great. Very well done. Better than most full length movies/tv shows.

It's perfect as it is, no need to pad it out to be a full length film. The world needs more short form visual storytelling! I can envision a feature film length collection of such tales.

Pls make a sequel, open the door !

Fantastic short! I’d love to see this explored as a movie! Well done by very talented actors and crew!

This short film had me at the edge of my seat, what you did was a masterpiece. I will say, you definitely have something that’s willing to go far. I want to see what happens next.

Riveting. I am impressed by the quality of talent you were able to bring to this project. Have always been a big fan of Marisa Tomei ever since "My Cousin Vinnie" and of course Minnie Driver is topknotch, but the other performances were really convincing as well.

Terrific. I love how quickly we understand the mystery of the missing body and then the explanation of what is going on. Bravo to the Director. Great story telling. A total 10. Congrats.

This is one of the best ive seen from dust.. Two thumbs up!

This was amazing we need a pt 2 please!😮

*Best DUST Film yet* This was one of the best that the company has produced. Not just the bigger named stars; other DUST productions have had excellent acting. Personally, I think the singing nurse, creepy as she was, falling into borderline sociopathic was the best person in the cast. She literally caused an emotional response beyond those getting their line correct and being at the right spot at the right time. Fantastic job everyone!!!

Dust doesn't produce most of the content on their page, they just help it reach more people than it would if uploaded by a channel with less subscribers. Unless it says that it's a Dust original/ Dust exclusive, it's independently made. Just letting you know so you can give credit where it's due.

Wow...just fckn wow.... From picture story to sound tracks...just wow ..it's been a minute since you got one like this DUST 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Why do so many of you viewers ask for a series? Why not just keep it special and watch it again now and then? Isn't that better than watching a brilliant idea become a recycled formula and eventually dissipate threadbare?
