Horror Short Film "GONE" 

this is an excellent reminder that life is short go be with your loved ones more, we will never get this time back. thank you to everyone involved in such an amazing film...

This was well written, and the actress was phenomenal. As someone who went through the anxiety and depression of taking care of a dying parent, I understood what she was feeling.

WOW, that really hits home. I remember my mother being ill but no one told me how bad she was. (I lived overseas so I guess no one wanted to worry me) It was only when my dad phoned to say that she wanted to see me that alarm bells rang in my head. I went back home only to find out how bad she really was, I stayed for a few days when she called me to her bedroom and said "Paul go home to your family there is nothing you can do here? I just want to go now but please don't tell your father." I gave her a kiss and I said "I won't see you again will I mum." I turned my back and left the room holding back my tears until I got to her garden. I went back to mine and two days later got the call that she had passed. That was over 11 years ago and is still in my mind like it was yesterday.

Like many people, I've dealt with coming to terms and dealing with the loss of family members who had succumbed to cancer. I kept it together until she finally said, "I don't want you to go." I really lost it. Can't stop crying. This was well done.

Really hit me. I lost both my parents within 9 months of each other. Rest in Peace Mamma e Papa.

IDK what to say. This hit way too close to home. I truly didn't know my Father was dying, all the medical staff said he was doing good. I had no idea what this short was about but when I realized what I was watching I had to stop & watch the rest later. Obviously the makers know how it feels.

Lost my mom in 2022 from cancer & to think anyone would reject seeeing thier loved ones dying is the hardest thing to face but you need to be there & you need to say the things you must before they are gone . As hard as it it if you don't you will live with regret for the rest of your life . I was not one to run away as she does & i feel sorry for her at the end as she may think she will be OK but that's not going to really happen. A hard short to watch if you feel as she did cause once they are gone you can't go back. All the pills in the world won't fix what you do when you choose the wrong path. Grief is the real horror of losing a loved one.

God please shine your light on the people that are in some dark places, please forgive us for any sins and hatred or pride we may have and know that its you who we want to see greet us at our dying day to wake with you and the past loved ones by our side! Thank you dear glorious lord . May we see your light in our hearts ❤

Dealing with the imminent death of somebody we love is not obvious at all. Each person has his/her own way to cope with this inevitable and terrifying issue. The behavior of some people could be hard to understand for others. Most of the time, we're hasty to judge people who seem «odd», even reprehensive regarding our own values and standards. For instance, the behavior of this young woman can easily make us think she's a heartless and insensitive woman. In my opinion, she's afraid about seeing her mother die. The idea of loosing her mother is too much for her. All along this short movie, we can see the turmoil of this woman (the tranquilizing medication she takes is a proof of it), tormented by a mysterious and looked like ominous character, in the shadow. This woman is constantly teared between the guilt of not being with her dying mother and her fear of the terrible fate that awaits her. This is a harsh and demanding dilemma that a lot of people have to struggle with. At the end, we understand that this character is, in fact, the mother of this woman. The luminous end of this movie underlines very aptly, by contrast, the dark and harrowing atmosphere that prevailed before. And the calm, peaceful expression on the face of the main character is on the same wavelength with this bright mood. Please, forgive me to put myself under the spotlights. But I was the care giver of my mother a whole year (2015-6), while she was facing the lungs cancer that took her, eight years ago. For me, this demanding period was the most stressing and meaningful time of my life. Living with somebody you cherish the most in the world, knowing that this person will leave you definitively in a few months, makes you feel all the importance of being present and loving for those who count the most for you. Also, it makes us aware how much the life is fleeting and, therefore, precious. Even if I never have adopted the escaping behavior of this unfortunate woman, I can understand why she acts like this. And that's why I like so much this short movie.

The acting on these short films is superb... ☺️

The whole film gave me anxiety the dog was the only thing that gave some calm feeling 😭😭😭😭🙌🙌🙌❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

This was so good it was really moving. People don’t understand grief and pain. So of course they’ll say anything negative in this comment section. Heavily applauded nice work.😊

Suffering the pain of grief and loss is always an extremely difficult time in a person's life. But even including the visions, here, I would not have classified this video as horror.

Watching this on Mother's Day was not a good idea.. RIP, Mom.

This was so sad. I have stage 4 breast cancer & when I was first diagnosed, my sibling refused to accept it. It wasn’t til I started losing my hair that they realized this was actually happening to me. It’s hard to face our mortality, & that of the people we love. This was so good.

The horror of losing a parent to a slow degenerative disease is so sad

I love the scene where she runs to the beach and sees the ghostly image of her mother. I was expecting it to be scarier though with horror in the title, but great job!

AFTER WATCHING THIS I CAN SAY THAT ITS NOT A HORROR MOVIE BUT AN EMOTINAL MOVIE BUT ITS GOOD AT THAT.

Excellent!!!!

Excellent! Also has a good message.

I love the way you shot this. Really good use of light.

Awesome film and cinematography. I loved it! This is what horror is all about.

My mother is alive and relatively healthy. But she too will have to die one day. I already dread that day or the brief moments leading up to it, again and again. We don't have an intimate relationship, we're more like acquaintances. Nevertheless, I am afraid of my own emotions, which I fear I will no longer be able to control when my mother dies. I don't really want to go to the funeral either. That's how it is.

Absolutely wonderful.

Can’t lie. I would’ve went upstairs if I were him

I watched this not knowing what it was about. I wouldn't consider it to be a horror film in the traditional sense but more of a film about the horrors of grief. The film was beautiful, as was the acting.

Excellent short. Great acting, scenario ,cinematography and sound track. Also a reminder to all about appreciating our loved ones whlist they're still alive.

I'm already scared. That guy just appearing everywhere staring at her is creeping me out. 😨. That was pretty creepy. Definitely had me on the edge.

Great short, loved it !

Well done!

great job. Shed tears at the end. The ex is hot!

Wonderful movie touched my heart.

Good movie short!!!👍💯😢

Beautifully scripted and performed. Thank you.

Been there and done it. 10yrs taking care of my Mother with a form of Dementia. She got to hear Andrea Bocelli all the way.🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🥰

Lost both foster parents to cancer one back in 1978 and the other around 99/2000 I’m already preparing to loose my adopted dad any day he is up there in his early 70s and has been sick a lot so I’m preparing myself after he is gone I will only have my brothers and my foster sister but yeah all of my parents my foster ones are both gone and my adopted father will soon be gone it’s like I will be the only one left with the exception of my adopted brothers and foster sister this was a very very good well acted film

damn. came for a fright, left with depression...Some of best acting ive seen form these horror shorts though.

Absolutely beautiful ❤

I mean if I see something spooky, I’m staying elsewhere. She’s a fine woman though.. Touching ending🎉!

😢

very good.

I enjoyed this short film.

Thanks

Very well done it felt special

Great job!!! Loved it!!!

One word - incredible!

Great film Loved the scene when she runs to the beach. Excellent work!

Yeah thats making me think now.. like i still have both of my parents.. my dad has a rare lung disease thats slowly slowing him down an he wont quit smoking, then theres my mom she has stage 3 lung cancer but shes a warrior an she fights everyday! Im still this 35 yr old that lives at home with them, has no life, no partner, suffering from anxiety, depression an PTSD that stays up all night either playing game or on youtube.. thats just to scared to make a life for myself. Idk i want to make my parents proud of their only son.. an stop being such a pathetic loser.. that has suicidal thoughts sometimes.

Wow!!So Sad and Frightening Gave me Shivers

Wow. This one brought me to tears 🖤

This resinates. Lost my brother a year ago. Great film

This is sad my aunt died from cancer R.i.p

All Love horrormovies very much alsow and Forever ❤❤❤❤❤😮😮😮😮😮

This is the first 'horror' movie that actually made me cry. It's the horror of grief. The horror that we have lost someone. It hurts so bad. This hit me hard. I didn't want to say goodbye to my mother either because to do so would be letting her go. I miss her so much. Grief leaves such a huge hole that can't be filled with alcohol or drugs. It's so finite. A life 'gone'. 😭

Ery good I enjoyed it

10:37 needs to doggy oscar.

A woman living alone must lock the doors

❤TTTTTTT❤

Was not s horror. It eas a dhort film on guilt and not being able to face illness and death of a loved one. Seeing her mother everywhere but we were made to think it was a man.

🙌♥

Can someone please explain this film to me? For example, who was the person who wore the orange sweater?

Horror Short Film "GONE"

Little girl from my upstairs neighbor did the pulling hair and eyelashes

Good short...ghilty is one of the worst terror a human being could have...

Ba-roo @4:22🎉

Im going full speed in reverse

Howd they get Anthony Michael Hall to play the mom?!

Ok

So, we've got 1 honest comment and 1 paid comment. And now, we've got mine... This was really stupid.

Was ok , very dramatic , but ok !!

Far too many horror movies just use the plot of "I'm a girl and that's scary!"

Not for me

not really sure how i feel about this short. i def didnt like the way she spoke nasty to her loving dog, and its horrid when someone doesnt want to see a family member when their dying. 🤔

Why this is HORROR movie?? i call that "soup" drama bruh

Türkçe altyazı lütfen

I didn't have much sympathy for her she wouldn't even see her dying mum, she called her friend over for help only to tell him to f off, selfish woman!. Oh ignores the woman desperately trying to call her and yells at her dog man like I don't like people like that. I had to sit through two close people who I watched slowly waste away to death only to sit there and do all I could to help my dying mother in 2018 and my pregnant woman in 2003 died of a damn glioma yet this woman couldn't even call her mum. Otherwise good movie well done bro.

Hate it

As scary as a second Trump Presidency

I think I am like a cat don’t what someone to see me dying

not sure why some people are being purposely obtuse in the comments. this was one of the best psychological horror shorts i've seen in a while. excellent acting, great story, some beautiful visual queues. it can be a bit difficult for me to stick through some short films if they don't hook me early enough, but this one was a line hook and sinker. legit just stumbled across this while looking to get inspired. amazing job to everyone involved!

I love the way the Mom reached through the veil and loving touched her daughter at 16:31. Maybe it was otherworldly or maybe the people we love have a powerful influence on us, that can strengthen us in our darkest moments. Everyone involved in this film did an excellent job.

It is better to stay with your parents if it is possible. The family togetherness is important

What a cool spin to tackle the grieving process. As someone who has lost one of my pillars in my life, my Dad, I can definitely relate. His loss felt like a horror movie at first. A haunting void filled with sadness and sorrow. Eventually you move on past that and can remember and enjoy the beautiful moments shared together. But before that, oh boy, I can relate. Greath short! Excellent use of music to create the atmosphere and loved the spin on grief as a “horror” movie. Shout out to all the actors who did a tremendous job. Specially the guy who acted as Chris. Not gonna lie, at first I thought he was the “Killer”. Those ears threw me off lol.

This was such a heart-wrenching, terrifying film. Good job!

This should have alot more views then it did.

This is much more on the side of highly uncomfortable rather than being horror. It was like awkwardly standing in the corner of the room with the grieving family of a total stranger.

This was a really good short. Had tears in my eyes by the end. I went through some loss recently and the emotions and behaviors depicted in here were spot on. Grief is hard, but the guilt of not seeing someone before they pass is unbearable.

Junk pfft don’t quit ur day job chief

I wasn't able to say goodbye when my dad died, it was too sudden. One second he was fine and then next a coma. Anyways, I'll be sobbing on the kitchen floor thanks 😅

That was very good

this made me cry and the acting was good she was upset and angry that her mom was dying that's why she wouldn't see her she didn't want her to leave and yeah she didn't want to accept it and when she finally did it was too late but at least she got a gift from her mom even after she was gone this made me think of my grandma and grandpa i didn't want them to go i wanted it to be a bad dream it sucks losing loved ones

Triste histoire 😢😢

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Well, a few years ago when i was turning 30, i got the message that my dad died about a month ago. We werent in contact since 10 years. Since i'm an only child, it got me pretty hard - BUT my worst fear was always to get this message and that i need to organize his funeral. But noone told me, noone reached out to me. When a family member dies, there is no police to tell you this - it needs to be done by another family member. So, since he bought himself a little house, i moved into it. And i swear, it wasnt easy. I knew he died in the bedroom, i heard how his body changed in his last days and that he couldnt breath (he died of AstraZeneca btw). So every night when i was laying in bed, i saw him in this room, gasping for some air, looking at me. My brain couldnt stop it. There was an aura in this house, i felt like he was still here. But i wasnt really scared actually, i was sad. That i wasnt there, on his final days. Its true, we CAN live with it but it will always be a heavy bag on our backs. I got myself a dog a few months later and i didnt see this brain fart again since then :) live is better with a dog!

Reading through the comments...I hope you all know how extremely lucky you all are to have been born to real, actual parents. Instead of being unfairly born to 2 highly toxic, manipulative, abusive creatures as so called "parents" like I unfortunately was. The toxic former alcoholic that was supposed to be my "dad" died over a year ago from cancer, no surprise. Many unresolved traumas involving him...part of me was sad, another part of me could not care less that he's dead. My main tormentor though has been the highly toxic creature that's supposed to be my so called "mother"...that toxic creature completely ruined and crippled me on so many deep and complex levels.. i don't know what the hell I did to deserve to be born into such severely crippling toxicity. 😭💔😭💔

13:47 Bad idea Chris... i know a woman who did that in 2024 and it was worst decision he made in her life.

"jinkies im dealing with terrifying reality of death"

I like the scene where he runs at the door like freakin Scooby-Doo

That's weird and irresponsible of the main character.

I didnt like it but I was expecting a Horror short
