Great film!! I love it. Fun fact: The Aztec death whistle is a pre-Columbian wind instrument that was used in Mesoamerican cultures. The whistles are known for their frightening, woman screaming like sound. Archaeologists believe the whistles were used in burials and sacrifice rituals to guide the souls of the deceased. Thanks Google. I have one, and MY DOGS HATE IT. 😢

great short. moral of the story... dont dabble with something you dont know about. well done to all involved

That is when you like a bratty kid, taking something that is not their own and playing with it then throwing it away and crying because they got caught, lol. Good on you. His best friend dies and decides to play with fire. Great film and great acting by all.

@@christibarrick1768 I don't think I said it was their kid, which I knew? Just that she was a bratty kid, lol She was a brat, taking something that was not hers off the shelf and when the adult asked for it back. She hid it behind her back and threw a tantrum, threw it to the ground and ran off crying for attention, lol. Then again, thank goodness for her brattiness because he got exactly what he deserved, lol.

Scary, suspenseful short, among the best I have watched. What a ghastly looking and sounding whistle.

I have that exact one. It's the best kind, and yes, it works like a charm (or a curse?), especially on Halloween. Good times.

I knew he wasn't going to just walk away from it after he's used it on others.

Exactly. He knowingly used it for a dark purpose & then thinks just throwing it away (and smiling no less!) will fix everything. No one works for free, particularly not Evil.

Brilliant horror, this poor man died also at the end. 🎉

Poor man?? He should have known better than to use something that he knows nothing about.....then to leave it around where his daughter can use it too! The Piper is never bilked.

When the innocent out plays the evil…

This short kept me at the edge of my seat! Thrilling and unexpected end to this short! Great writing, directing, and filming😳👀❤

Wow, great stuff. I was always fascinated by such whistles... And now even more. If you will need a composer for your next project -- here I am. Always wanted to try :)

I found it odd he never asked exactly how to use this thing so he just blows into it with zero thought & paid the price of losing his friend then everything else he does is also without though so he paid the full price . Best to know just what you have when it comes to mystical death items. Not a smart man as we all know once your stuck with it you can't just toss it away as they always come back . Interesting this thing was actually a whistle for the pre Columbian period. At least that may have been a real thing but I doubt they looked like this one did. They had a variety of shapes & this one we see I have seen for sale on Amazon as a toy.

Its scary what they 'turn' into toys, isn't it. But then again, Parker Brothers owns the rights to the Ouija....which is not a toy. They also had versions of the Zuni Fetish doll from Trilogy Of Terror on Amazon. Unbelievable after watching that film (and learning they are REAL) that anyone would buy such an object.

Straight-forward execution of a nice Stephen King-like set-up. While the acting was mediocre, I absolutely loved the music.

Do you mean the last scene? No, its showing the guy (and the viewer) that it 'reappeared' out of the water where he threw it.

Great film!!
