FLAT | Short Thriller 

the fact that you believe everything you see in movies would probably worry me more than a man who doesn’t know how to change a tire

@@rafaelvillanueva1547 Lighten up Francis

​@@rafaelvillanueva1547literally the dood in the short film...... (Joke btw) also speaking genuinely kids 🤓

You got soft hands brother

Holy crap, I can't stop laughing about that comment 😂

Haha 😆

Agreed! She did a fantastic job! It was pleasure working with her and crafting her character.

I think she has a Jennifer Lawrence vibe specifically her voice and movement/mannerisms but with more dangerous predatory sex appeal. 👍 Great job to everyone and you should be proud.

@RPRosen-ki2fk I fully concur with your assessment, and still marvel at the splendid shape of her trousers.

Careful with that kind of thinking. It's the kind of thing that gets someone a long prison sentence because someone pulled into in his driveway and "I just assumed".....It comes from watching too much Fox News or too much RU-vid.

In my opinion,the woman who approached him in the dessert,is a kind of alien entity.She killed him and somehow transformed herself to look like him and then went to find his girlfriend at their home.

@@HopeWilhelmina Thank you for the explanation because I certainly didn’t get it either but now it makes sense. 👍😉

@@farristolesome4419 I 'm glad i helped!😊

Thank you! Appreciate it!

Well, clearly, evidently in the film, a body stealer - foremost. (Singular since we cannot presume there are others within any number of miles, or light years. We only witness evidence of a singular entity.) And as for not stealing blood (as you alluded), before the body swap with him after she had knocked him out, her face (its face, the one worn after being stolen from the missing woman on the news) was saturated/caked with blood. That isn't clear as to why. Unlike another short, not eating the victim's flesh, but switching into it. And if she drank his blood like vampires, then how could she then switch into the blood depleted vessel/body? I wonder what the intention was with the blood depicted on her/its face. And finally, as for soul stealing, when it showed up and spoke to his wife, it used the word "honey" which she noticed was odd/unusual, which indicates another way that the person standing at the door is not him. Since we only speculate about connection and differentiation with mind, soul, spirit, etc., it would appear that the creature has hijacked his biological form but is thinking and communicating as itself, while trying to act and behave convincingly as the owner of the body would have if they were still alive and in the body. So we can't know if his soul has departed. There's no evidence depicted that his soul or spirit or mind is battling inside with the occupier. Maybe it consumes the soul of the victims, with a chaser of a half pint of blood. Maybe that's what you meant by "soul stealer"? Not sure why this is labeled a "thriller" because it's sci-fi. Maybe sci-fi/thriller or sci-fi/mystery.

P.S. if shape shifter, then it would have adopted his form and wouldn't have carried the physical injury from when he'd been hit with the tire iron. That is just then something to have to explain to others and such things would be optimally avoided. If a creature could shape-shift, then it begs the question "why would it copy the injury instead of the body as it was at first encounter?".

😆

But cuter. Those dimples.

Glad to hear it! Thank you!!!

Hopefully one day. I’ve got 2 more horror films in the pipeline. With all of the comments about a sequel, maybe it’s something I’ll have to explore. Glad you enjoyed it!

Fantastic film and funny Thank you

Welcome to watch new movie channel

Thank you! I’ve gotten a lot of asks for a part 2. Definitely something I’m considering in the future. 😉

@@skanesfilms you're very welcome .Will be amazing im sure ❣️

Maybe that’s where I’ll begin the sequel… or feature… one day!

It looks like serial killer who is able to acquire the appearance of the person he (she? ) killed 🤔

Thank you!

Thank you! Really appreciate it!

Skinwalkers.

Wow,spot on about John Carpenter !

How long have you been with that woman?

Thank you so much! Yes, definitely more to come!

No one ever does...

Working on it! Mamu will release in October after its final festival. Currently, editing my next horror short, Parasomnia. You can check out my Instagram to get a sneak peek. 😉

no ghost..not horror

I think the ideas that she has to consume them to then become them 0.0

Thank you! Appreciate the feedback!

😄

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! Appreciate it!!!

Thank you! Much appreciated!

Thank you!

Thank you! Mamu will be dropping next month.

Thank you! Maybe in the future I’ll revisit this story. Definitely lots to explore here but glad to hear it!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you!!!

Thank you! Maybe one day…

No full movie. Please! That's why we love Alter. Although some great full features have been made from Alter Shorts . . . "Piggy" and "Smile" to name a couple.

Thank you! 😊

Thank you!

Thank you!!! I’m not much of a writer so I appreciate that. The next one will be even better now that I’ve teamed up with a great horror writer.

@@skanesfilms - Did you write this? Very good! Usually the victim becomes its/the/a perpetrator; but here´s something different; the perpetrator "becomes" its victim, and that´s interesting surprise.. Also as a parasite moving from one host to another, a serial killer which is is difficult traced...

Yes, I did. I wanted to write something that subverts the genre and is unexpected. I’m glad you enjoyed it!

What was the word play? I missed it

Thank you! I actually put it up on Vimeo a few years back after it’s festival run. Only recently migrated a few things to RU-vid.

Thank you!

Thank you! 😊 It was a challenge to shoot in the desert, but fun!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Completely agree! 😂 we didn’t have many options when we shot this so we used my car. But it worked out and I love the color contrast in the blue and orange desert we got from it.

Thanks!!

Thank you!!!

Thank you! That was the goal!

Glad to hear it!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

good acting, good shooting, good score, lame story

Thank you! I’m not the best writer, so glad everything else worked. The next one in post is way better because I partnered with a dope horror writer.

@@flamindigo hey watch out we got a Hollywood critic on the comments 🤔😳🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@skanesfilms you're a GREAT WRITER!! 👍🏾

Appreciate it! Thank you!

Appreciate that!!! 🙏

To avoid costly prosthetics, we discussed removing the clothes in a way that felt like removing a layer of skin. Probably could’ve shot that better to make it clear 🤷‍♂️ but yes, they are a shapeshifter.

I almost thought he picked up a hooker and buried her at the end. That’s why the wedding ring was in the pocket. Wanted you to think shape shifter, but really he was a serial killer…?

I'd like to shift my shape for hers.

Thank you!!!

Não entendi nada do filme, dei like pelas atuações, pode me explicar?

Thank you! Yeah, no problem. We shot with the Amira and a few vintage Cooke lenses (at least I believe those were the lenses). I’d need to double check with the D.P.

Appreciate it! I actually haven’t thought about submitting to Alter, but perhaps I will. Thank you! Good idea!

@@skanesfilmsI’m not in any way associated with them, but could be a way to get more views on this masterpiece

I absolutely agree…submit to Alter. This needs more views. It was fucking fantastic.

@@skanesfilms Alsoo absolutely agree, This is a masterpiece that deserves more Attention and support , Loooved everything , from the incredible nice cinematic, the Acting *Chefs kiss*, The Build in Humor^^- to the building up of the story/plot, loved that little detail in the beginning where The Tv News mentions the Murder of a woman(caitlyn) wich i guess was the shapeshifters victim before him bc it introduced its self as kate, understandable that it has to find a new target whos Death they can hide bc Caitlyn was known to be murderd, aaaah its just so goood and makes one really edged about the ongoing of the story

Thank you! 😊

Thank you! Appreciate it!

@@skanesfilms oww,o Brasil te ama 💞

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! That’s the idea. Yep! 😊 This is my proof of concept for a much larger story.

Yes we want

Thank you! Yeah, it wasn’t intended to be truly scary and more of a misdirection by switching genres from what appears to be a typical drama to more of a thriller/ sci-fi story. I left the ending sort of unexplained to possibly explore later, but I think she’s in hiding.
