FOURTH DOOR | WINNER BEST SCI-FI SHORT FILM | 4K GH4 

When the water kept being left on, I started suspecting my kids were in his house.

I, too, like to fall asleep after immediately suspecting someone broke and entered into my house

Lol! "Dale!?" "I'm in the Basement..." Lmao.

Note to self: If Dale says he's in the basement, run! You don't know anyone named Dale! Good story and ending. The dubbing was obvious but no biggie.

THANK YOU to everyone who has been SHARING, LIKING, and COMMENTING. We appreciate the feedback, good or bad. We have learned a lot from creating this film and look forward to taking our craft to the next level! Please subscribe for updates to come. We have exciting content brewing that we want to share with you! :)

He's got some really nice faucets in the house 🏡

Why on earth does he never put the lights on in his own house? If you're that worried about an intruder, surely adding a little illumination would be the first thing you'd do?

I shouted at him not to go in the basement! But, of course, he did.

The audio .. vocals is distracting almost like it was dubbed over.

I think the acting could have been a little better but the tension and suspense were done just right. The way the story evolved to suggest that he might be a little crazy also worked very well. I'd watch another one.

I hope you enjoy our film. Watch in 4K! We apologize for issues with the audio sync. We appreciate the positive support, despite the technical issues. Also, please share your thoughts. We would love to hear what you liked or didn't like about the film (please be respectful) :)

It sounds and looks dubbed. I like the story, but that part is distracting.

AT LAST! A short SF film with a plot and an ending that makes sense, instead of an enigmatic series of scenes that just stop, with no resolution. The "dusty" kind, if ya know what I mean. This was pretty good!

Scary ending. But I would have liked it to not to end so suddenly. I would have liked for the brother to have have more experiences.

26:38 - The moment I saw the creature peeking around the corner, my stomach got a sick feeling. Nicely done! It is unpredictable and engrossing. 👍🏽

When they left to go to the movies, he didn't even lock the door. I guess he isn't as worried as he makes himself out to be then.

For a whole hott second, I really thought his brother was in on it....after the pill reveal, I thought maybe they wanted his house or something...then the twist at the end...pretty good.

17:10 -- I know this is not supposed to be a comedy, but ... Is that really the most substantial knife he's got in his kitchen??? He might as well pull out a vegetable peeler.

This is what Laurel and Beth need to see, what happens when they go off their meds. Bruno thanks for the support !

'the door was locked!', precedes to leave the house without locking the door. 'next time I'm calling the cops!' after the second day of obvious break and entering he gives a vague warning indicating hes not calling the police.. other than that comedic relief this was pretty damn coooool thanks for the good watch!

I liked this film, & the choice of Chlorpromazine as an 'antipsychotic' was perfect... For me anyway, it drove me up the wall - the drug of choice if you want to lose your mind & all your friends, nastily. And of course, once labelled as psychotic, no-one's ever going to believe your 'hallucinations', no matter how real they actually are. This hit the nail on the head.

Well I got strong goose bumps at the end.

Tension was spot on. Almost dropped my tablet at one point. Very jumpy ;~)

lol this dub, when they are outside it still sounds like he's talking into a mic in a studio environment.

What's funny, I have a very distinct memory of when I was about 15yrs old, I was reading pet cemetery in my room and I had a glass of juice on my nightstand. I reached 4 my glass and it was empty, and I had no recollection of drinking the entire glass. So weird, I've never forgotten it.

We need more good alien short films like this one! Good job!

This was good. Right up to the end, when the brother started seeing stuff too. Excellent.

the real horror here that a mans one sided love will never be realized Deal will forever be ... in the friend zone..

Better than a lot of scary movies I've seen on the big screen! Great work!

What some people are *conveniently* forgetting is that this is not a hollywood production and so you get reactions that sound quite childish. I liked this. The visual effects are just enough to tease the brain into thinking "What if?" It also shines a light on how we humans treat subject matters we do not/choose not to understand. Thumbs up!

If someone says, come down to the basement...DO NOT go down to the basement!

Holy Dentist Drill sound effect, Batman! (That was brilliant. Nobody digs that sound.)

Sometimes I wake up after a bender with a mysterious hickey.

Sorry dudes, this wasnt for me. Found the acting and dialogue a little wooden. But the overall production/direction was quite good.

I don't usually flinch at jump scare scenes. This actually got a jump out of me. Awesome.

Quite a classic! Now I know why there is “stranger danger”.

Good film-- had me scared- so this was good

Suspenseful right from the start. Those nasty E.T.s! Wanted to see more of them so I could recognize them if they ever came to my house. Very good.

I don't mind if invisible people wanna hang out in my house as long as they pick up things they knock down and turn off the water they leave on...and keep their invisible pets outside!!! Sheesh!

2:26 I see one of my cavies favorite chew toys. Also, the... protagonist... is a mouth breather.

Awesome and bone chilling! Great work! 👍👀

This one hit me right in the heart. As someone with a mentally ill sibling whom I fear is past the point of coming back to us and having witnessed this very same type of fear in front of my eyes, I’m crying like a baby. This isn’t just a movie, it’s a reality for some people.

There was only one door, you owe me three more doors.

gave me some chills, thanks for that

You can always tell how hard someone tried. Great job guys

This was really good. I don't know how I missed it. It really was tense and kept my interest all the way through. You folks have talent.

Liked it. The earth is 2/3 water, that's why they're here, that's why they're fascinated with the taps. That's why 'Signs' made no sense.

I got chills watching this!

Hey Hollywood! This is how to make a good movie!

So, Issac wasn't in the throws a paranoid schizophrenic after all.

Definitely creepy. Especially that noise the being/entity makes, like a rattle-growl. I really wanted to see the look on the brother's face when he sees what the younger brother has been experiencing. So many people have to SEE with their physical eyes before they can awaken to possibilities, never mind to reality. Would like to see another episode.

Yikes. No sleeping tonight. I might just have to look under my bed tonight. Super scary!! 👍👍👍

The only short that I've shared...great job!

Cody reminded me of a Bob Newhart character - that comic stress was fantastic. And for me, seeing unfamiliar actors gives a film a better sense of "reality". Great cast, script, story and direction. I love short films and this was a gem. Being an alien, I give it 3 thumbs up and a shout-out to my cousins in the basement.

Omg. This movie is super scary. Nice to see a guy terrorized for a change instead of some bimbo girl. Good job.

What he perceived to be real, was real all along. Everyone including the doctor thought he was a paranoid schizophrenic. I worked at a mental hospital for 25 years. It would at times freak me out. When a resident would be talking to someone who wasn't there. 😱

brings light to wonder for the extra-dimensional beings which only a few of us can assimilate into experience = how we are accustomed to categorize them as symptoms of an illness = hence live an perpetuation of separation.

There were moments I hold my breath for long and my heart was about to bump out. I was like I should stop watching it or will get stroke but thats the thing fear keeps us alive. Well done! Good job. 🙌❤ Look forward for more.

I really enjoyed this. Cody bolton and Jason Roy are very good actors.

Geez if this was the winner of the best sci-fi film Id hate to think what the worst was like.

8:17 this posture has been used quite unsuccessfully many times in the octagon.....

Great one...lil slow beginning but I loved it.

Who else watched this as the description said it was an award winning Sci fi short but only made it part way through?

When he picked up the empty glass 🥤 😱😱

I felt so sorry for the Eric character. I'm one that firmly believes there is a possibility people who suffer from schizophrenia are seeing real ghosts and there is a short circuit in the neurotransmitters that protect most humans from communicating with the spirit world. Unfortunately these people live with it 24/7. Which is not healthy, safe and of course would can cause serious mental health issues especially if you were raised in an environment that didn't know how to deal with it. So if you take medications that could also cause problems but could also leave you susceptible to the same problems as you are lowering your mind's ability to protect you from that which the normal everyday life of a humanoid person doesn't have activity in. it is well known that people who take medication hallucinate think they have seeing spirits Etc Who says they didn't?. Maybe what we're calling aliens could simply be another Realm or dimension which we would call ghosts it depends on your wording.. A ghost's going to do anything and present themselves as anyting including space aliens if that's what you believe in so this was very cute very sad and very suspenseful all at the same time. I honestly expected the brother to be in on it as a bad guy but I kind of like the idea when he suddenly realized wait a minute what are these Footprints and then you had the aliens behind him I'm wondering if the aliens chose the brother's house because the brothers mind was susceptible to calling them because he'd been using the medications. Or sadly had the aliens set the brother up and then the brother would end up away at the hospital while they had a place to play. Quite the interesting Tale. The filming was great wasn't impressed at the poker game too stiff but okay acting was great I know that the voice-over was needed and that was okay gave it a 1980s feel like the other remarks. I've watched a lot of these. it was a great little story suspense was awesome. Ending had a great twist better than most on here. and thank you for providing an ending . Hope you guys present more work.

I think this is one of the best short films I've ever seen. I actually teared up a little when he was saying goodbye to go to treatment. Then after he left I was wondering if his brother and that girl were in cahoots. But the ending, when the aliens peeked around the corner - scary but fun. Great work!

goosebumps. Truly. And YES, that is AN ACTOR !

It was great . The story , suspense build up. And then hallucinations thing. I was like "no it's not hallucination it's real" 😐 And end was good .

I thought the film was really well done! It kept the suspense factor going the entire time. It really shows that it doesn't take a million dollar budget to make a good film!

If I come home and hear someone running around upstairs, I am NOT going to timidly say, "ha hellooo" and then look over and see the water running and divert my attention to oh well, let me just forget about who's upstairs and turn off the water. I kept watching but when the other guy says gD, it was all over for me. Update: I went ahead and finished watching anyway. Okay, thumbs up. That was a good movie, after all.

you know shits about to get real when the faucet starts dripping.

Excellent! That face at the end creeped me out!

Thumbs up from me. Good suspense film like the old fashioned horror movies. I won't give any spoilers but I like this this a lot. Very credible acting and the main character was excellent as were the supporting cast. Perfect pacing, nice build up and classic ending. Well done.

Loved it

A very good mini movie. Jumpscare in places, don’t watch after midnight haha 😂 🤣

The basement reminded me of Fargo. Loved the film. Thank you.

I found this quite sad. Poor chap has a gift to see into another realm and its being poisoned and smothered by society and medication

Now THIS is quality work.

didn't see it taking that direction but pleasantly surprised it did 😁

Awesome work done guys the concept was best even the acting seemed real. Great job

I really liked it overall :) Sure, the audio could have been better, especially the ADR. But the pace of the film and camera moves were great 👍 Did you use a gimbal or steadycam? Keep them coming! :)

Great concept! The audio did seem a bit unnatural though. Did you have to add it back in later or something?Anyways, audio aside, its a really strong film! Great work!

I need a reboot of The Invaders just like this. A+, good luck in your future endeavors.

You know what light switches are for? Turning on. I didn’t see anything. It was dark. Very scary ending. Very good short film. Thank you for sharing.

Sound design was sooo distracting. Good story though, reminds me of "they look like people".

Don't you guys in the states have any lighting in your homes at night? Never was any in the X files either. Over here in UK it's so damned gloomy we leave them on all day! Good film though.

I found it a bit slow until the last 10 minutes, where it all came together.

Alternate ending. He jumps in the cab for the recovery center. (Next Scene) The camera starts panning out from a bright light. As it retreats, eerie music starts becoming audible. Then the camera pans out almost instantly, the bright light is just the reflection of a shiny beer keg. The music resolves into party music along with party noises. The ET's are dancing and partying with a couple, hot girl and alien, making out on the sofa. Camera pans in the corner where his brother, with a cigar in his mouth and a bottle of liquor, is playing a spirited game of poker with a couple of aliens. Slaps his cards on the table face up and screams at the aliens "pay up!".

Brilliantly atmospheric and scary short story. So, he's been taken away for 'treatment'... or has he? Could his photo be the next missing person... KAN 8.19 UK

That was excellent! The images reminded me of British shows. And I love that style. Great acting. Again, excellent piece!

Good for a typical scary house short. Expected ending...

He's looking for an intruder in his house, and the dripping water in the kitchen distracts him? Not On Your Life!

Very Good job ! Nice camera and nice production !! Super LIKE

Omg ending was scary 27:24 😖

Absolutey brilliant on every level

Very enjoyable and professional. Great talent acting, photography, music, lighting, directing.

Dialogue was kinda unnatural, and the audio for the voices wasn't quite recorded/mixed right. But otherwise not bad.

SO why is it called the Fourth Door?

Fantastic very good Congratulation by the music and sound impact

This was such a clever and well-acted video. Great job!!
