MAN ON A TRAIN (Horror Short) 

I love How humans making unhuman movements can be more scary than ghosts or gore

He leans in and whispers softly in her ear…. “We’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty,”

She’s a brilliant actress. So much emotion. You can truly see her fear. So rare to find in short horror films.

this is literally what cats do

major props to the guy, he nailed those unsettling movements, without being over dramatic, so well

The thing I like the most about this is that there are no jump-scares. No things appearing out of nowhere, no sharp noises. It's pure atmosphere, and that is so rare to see these days.

This short film focuses on terror more than horror. The feeling that you know theres a threat, but no direct sign of danger. No jumpscares, scary noises. Just pure terror and eeriness, knowing that its there but looking and seeing that its gone. Love it

The lack of music made this so much more chilling!!

No ghosts, no darkness, no blood, yet very creepy. Good job!

This is how you do modern horror. I will always believe that people are scarier than anything else.

You know whats so unsettling? That guy looks exactly like one of those serial killer police sketches

She perfectly portrayed the feeling of panic. You can see it in her eyes, her body movements.

This made me go cold. Better than most modern day horror movies

The way that as she's trying not to look, we the audience aren't allowed to look either which makes it even more unnerving when she finally gives in and takes another peak. So well done!

Who's here from tiktok?

I'm 4 years late to this gem. Under 5 minutes horror is quite difficult to make. A Phenomenal work and the actress is awesome.

I gotta give props to the actress! Her expressions were so spot on! Plus, the fact that her response to what was happening was so quiet made me feel more claustrophobic and helpless - knowing that if I was her, no one was around and I gotta deal with the fact that I’m going to die that night. She killed that role! Bravo!

This perfectly captures the sensation of there being someone who you feel is a threat that you need to keep an eye on, but that you are scared to look at for fear of them engaging with you as a result.

He reached her ear slowly and whispered "look like you missed your spanish lesson today"

This short is almost like playing a game of chicken with yourself. At like 3 minute mark I was ready to turn it off, at the 3:38 mark I was like really, REALLY ready to turn it off but saw there was less than 40 seconds left and I needed to know how it ended and I could physically feel my heart pound. Well done.

The way she walked onto the train and looked around, staring at people for a while, at the same time showing a sort of anxiety... it makes me think that she's the type of person who has social anxiety. The idea of being seen is scarier for her than the idea of seeing others. She watches them, but she can't stand being watched. And that particular anxiety shines through when someone spots her and starts paying too much attention to her... getting close and closer... until she feels as though she's living in her own horror film. It gave me more of an insight on mental trauma than anything supernatural or based on senseless horror. Very interesting!!

K but... Why he gotta lean forward like that when he first stared at her?😂😂😂😂😂

I felt like I couldn’t breathe. Omg. These people are so talented. Everyone who took part in the film, on and off camera. I even wish it was longer.

The scariest thing for me was the darkening of his face and nose to suggest something not human.

Dang this was so good. That fear of not knowing where he was, had me holding my breath. The actress is what sold it for me. I don’t think I blinked once lol. Well done.

Probably the only short film that actually scared me

Masterpiece. One of the scariest short horror films ever.

Only a few horror short stories can make me ACTUALLY scared and this is one of them. I love how everyone just disappeared and it just kept getting closer and closer! Keep up the great work! 👏🏾

Saw a quick reaction vid on Tik Tok for this and that alone terrified me. The absolute level of discomfort this gave me almost instantly…my blood ran cold. I love all things spooky & scary. This was a different level of actual fear. I found myself instinctively wanting to cover my eyes. Just the small but powerful movements…made such an eerie yet massive impact. Well done. Ya got a girl hella spooked. 🤯😟

This short shows exactly how a negative thought could interfere with someone’s life. The man could represent the “negative thought”.You can see how once she notices the “negative thought” everything else just goes out the window. The more she focuses on it, the more it overtakes her mind until eventually there is no more positive and nothing but a negative fate is sneaking up on her.

The way the tension builds and the movements, it's amazing. Such a well crafted horror piece💛💛

this bro singlehandedly revived the horror genre in 4 mins

I had a mini heart attack when he leaned his head forward during the first encounter

The crazy thing is this scares me more than the modern day scary movies. I think about this everyday

Never take your eye off something that keeps coming closer to you

One of the few creepy short videos, actually giving me a shiver. I even knew he/it would appear in the reflection and still it was really creepy I also love the part where she looks at him/it multiple times. Eventually he/it response in a "normal" way and yet unsettling and I can't even pinpoint why unless I watch it again

This was a good horror short. Tameka Mortimer (the lead actress) emoted really well, without saying any lines. I liked it.

In my 48 years....this 4 minute short scared me more than any horror movie I’ve ever seen. I actually had to pause at the first glimpse of the guy and wait two days for my son to get home to watch the rest. I can’t even begin to tell you how this is going to haunt me. I’m not easily scared....this is what ruined me. I’ll never get that out of my head.

What made this scary is the fact that no jumpscare was forced and were still left with questions, Top tier.

Holy...I haven't felt fear and suspense build like that in many years. Well done!!!!!!!!

I think whats so scary about this is how somebody can just do this to you, at any time a person can just start fucking stalking and creeping closer to you with you having no idea where they are but you just know they are there

It’s crazy how making eye contact with strangers is so unsettling sometimes

Still one of the best short horrors I've ever seen!

This needs to be made into a longer movieeeee .. but then again it was perfect ! That dudes movements and weird fake outs were so good

This was a masterful piece of art in the worst possible way. You are a supremely talented filmmaker and you have tonality and richness of depth down to a tee. I will be following your journey enthusiastically, rooting for you the entire way.

No loud music or jump scare noises, you're literally in the moment with her. This is so realisticaly framed, simple, almost mundane, yet so scary BECAUSE of the realism. It's amazing.

Love it when a piece of horror can make me feel shivers without jump scares and random noises

When he leaned in the second time was the oh sh** moment for me.

This actually made the hair on my arms and neck stand up it gave me that uncontrolled raw and primal sense of warning like it flipped my fight or flight switch. It made me feel uneasy and I loved it. So simple and extremely well executed

He’d be so good at the squid game

i loved this! Phew~! That was pleasantly creepy 😆Thank you for uploading this. 4 years later and this is gem is still brilliant!

Who came here from Instagram?

The realism is what makes this so creepy and effective without needing to be over the top. Nicely done🙂

Edward Cullen “stalking” be like:

Had to hit pause whenever she's about to peek again..Had to ready my heart every time. It's really a good watch!

Got know about this from an insta reel

3:20 is extremely unsettling for me; the guys face looks ALMOST normal. There’s a head, glasses, a nose, but you get the impression that he is grinning, grinning in some horrible, sadistic way. Such an amazing short film Edit: Actually zooming into his face? He is grinning, and you can see his eyes, it’s fucking terrifying dear lord it made this so much worse when I rewatched it.

Seeing the expression on his face when he was between the seats was terrifying

The amount of times I've shown this to people to give them an example of perfect, 'simple' but effective horror is off the charts

i'm not sure if this is supposed to be an actual man or something else that just takes the form of one but there's this quote i'm reminded of that goes something like "there's almost nothing scarier than an ill-intended human being"

Saw a short edit of this on TikTok and it’s honestly amazing. So simple yet unsettling. Love when people make good scary mini films without using jump-scares. 10/10 :)

the sound design alone makes this really good. Very well done!

So that’s how I look like when I try to be friendly

I hollered when he threw his neck out at her lmaooo

No jump scares (thank god), no loud music, no over the top acting, bright light... and still (or mostly because of said things) one of the creepiest movies (be it short or full length) I have seen in the last months! Fantastic work all of you! Love the subtle and lifelike acting of all the characters, Tameka nails it. For someone that does not say one word, she succeeds that the viewer (me at least) worries about her more and more throughout the film. And god damn, this "man on the train" is creepy as it gets! Like I said before: fantastic work! Hollywood: watch and learn how it's done right!

Vous méritez un award pour ça ! Sérieux c'est trop bon. J'envoie toute mes votes pour ce vidéo c'est un des meilleurs...le meilleur selon moi !

It’s like you’re there with her, in the moment, yet alone at the same time. The mans quick movements and almost inhuman ducking makes the atmosphere eerie and terrifying. 9.7/10.

The part where he leans forward….ugh. Chills down my spine.

This is so impressive! The fact that you managed the strike actual anxiety and fear without distorting reality through dramatic editing and loud noises, without a monstrous appearance to the 'monster', so on. Top tier!

Here from instagram

Well-paced and superbly understated.

I actually burst out laughing when he moved his neck towards her like a pigeon, I thought it's actually funny tho a lil scary -Joe

This is exactly how horror should be! Creepy, no jumpscares and things that really get under your skin. Excelent work!

The scariest shots for me are the ones where tons of tension has been built of before hand and then the camera forces us to slowly look at whatever it that the character hasn’t been wanting to look at. No jump scare. No nothing. Just feeling completely vulnerable and helpless. Bravo 👏

Only just finding this now! Wow what a truly unsettling experience! Well done!

The tension in such a short clip! Incredible performance by Tameka Mortimer, I felt like I could read her thoughts. We need more of her on our screens.

The loud and incoherent chatter was my favorite thing about this video. Once the dialogue fades, you instantly know something sinister is about to happen. It worked so well

Oh my god this movie has scared me in 4 mins more than most horror films. Amazing , too good ❤❤❤

I just stumbled across this gem of a short. And I enjoyed every creepy second of it! No jumpscares, just very well done creepy atmosphere that builds up tension in a slow and very unsettling pace. Kudos to Tameka Mortimer who manages to make me be very worried about her from the moment on she's alone with that guy. Wonderful and very believable character (how do they say? The best acting is when the audience does not even think you're acting). Thumbs up and gonna go stalk your channel now :)

short films are always somehow more terrifying than bigger films with an even bigger production team

Holy crap that was creepy as hell. Especially since I take train to work and sometimes I'll be the only one in the car

I literally got a mini heart attack when that man got up from his seat and was about to run towards that woman 😭😱

Love this, you scared me without jumpscare or violence.

Okay, this was freaking awesome. I mean this took me to a new level of fear. I am thinking this man is a demon or something from the supernatural world. The train car was actually empty but this thing in the form of a man lured her into a false security, believing she was not alone and thus she would get comfortable and stay on the train. Right before her eyes the people were gone, because they never were there. There are so many possibilities that could have happened to her, wow. I am going to watch this way more than once. This is better than most full length horror movies. Amazing, all round great job. Well, this is my take on the film. You should win award for this.

This gives me heart attack. Very good!!!

I love scary like this...kept me on the edge of my couch with covers on my face...and his sound movements alone had me shook...this was great!

Damn I had literal chills 😵‍💫

The leaning forward is what got me, I am terrified of things running at me! 😂 In person or on a show, I cannot handle it!! So I made my husband watch it first 🤣 this was very good!! Made me feel uneasy

I feel like this represents the amount of sa and creeps women have experienced on trains or any public places in general.

Good name of a channel. This movie is really mini nightmare ,I was so scared watching this. Had to repeat to myself "It is only a movie". Great job. And best short horror movie I've ever seen.

I had to pause. The unsettling feeling it gave me. Great work!

Love that there's no loud jump scares, no sudden pop ups. Just pure creepiness. Love it

2:25 omg the man had pitch black eyes

This was great! 4 mins of pure terror 😮..

This is how you make a film. Fantastic work.

OMG! This was so creepy! This deserves more views. Keep up the good work! Thanks for sharing!

I started to watch this before bed and had to stop at 2:53 because I was getting more scared than any horror movie makes me. Re-watched the full short first thing in the morning, good way to wake me right up!

Way to go, guys!! Well done!🎉

She did such an incredible job in creating a genuinely scared/terrified feeling and the dude's movements were super creepy.

How y’all saying this isn’t scary??? I legit screamed out loud (yes LITERALLY) at 2:45 cause I thought the guy was gonna run towards her 😭😭 This was a creepy videoii
