This film really moved me, the best I've seen yet; outstanding acting especially the fight scenes. Thank You

@jmconradie_VARIETY_playlists 9 месяцев назад

Dan Berridge, you are a genius! I absolutely loved the music soundtrack. I also liked the fresh idea of an armed leg as weapon. I wondered why his kick is so lethal. That is a really fresh idea. How often do we get fresh ideas on RU-vid short movies now? Almost never, this is precious. To balance the narrow-minded comments below, the absence of language in it is a fresh and impressive depiction of what humans will become at Point Zero☑☑ I really hope that self-medication does not die with the apocalypse. Basic knowledge about wounds and sanitation would've helped that couple. They do have fire, so why no boiled water for the location of the injection and for treating his wound? The man touching his own wound with germ-infested hands at the end made me cringe. It could be normal for mankind, but I really really hope it is not. Surely we all know better? Knowledge of herbs may be dying out, but basic sanitation and boiled water should never. On the bright side, dirtiest hands, best wound I've seen. Make-up artists here deserve an award too. Hollywood could learn from you.🏆 Finally, I wish I had such abilities to film my RU-vid-story Apophis Apocalypse, instead of just doing audiobooks. This film is very convincing.

@banamalipanigrahi9972 4 года назад

I didn't feel this is a short movie, so many things they covered in just a short notice. Such a great work...much appreciated

@dannycrockett9878 6 лет назад

Fight scene was more realistic than some (many) I've seen in 70 million dollar budgets. Nice work......

@coryburns834 4 года назад

I don't know how anybody could judge this as realistic we don't know yet

@dscrappygolani7981 2 года назад

Yeah, I mean there's this small detail of someone being able to ninja even after being stabbed in the stomach. But you're right..... Having unfortunately been in a similar situation many years ago, this is more or less how it went. It's a rather disconcerting experience.

Very well made film, I love the Universal touch of no talking just action and events..

@evanabbott2737 5 лет назад

I really liked that too, no bullshit dialogue👍

@gargoyle38 6 лет назад

Totally gritty, down and dirty, picture of survival in a ruined world

@markferguson3745 5 лет назад

Yup, - that's closer to the reality I'd imagine,- filthy, infectious, squalor, with everyone brutally scratching and clawing for the last few crumbs.So chaotic that any possibility of a reset would only come when the population was whittled down to a few scattered survivors, too far apart to try to steal from and kill each other.It's a true cliche that civility is a thin veneer, easily worn through.Props all around,- well acted, written , choreographed, and shot. EF Hollywood.

@guidolyons4912 4 года назад

That hit you right in the gut. No cheesy dialog required.

@dajo492 7 лет назад

Very good. To answer any criticism I personally see it as he had one job. Single focus. He got the medicine or serum the pregnant lady needed. Delivered and administered it. Very well done. They allude to the fact the guys he stole from were bad as they were beating up that one guy but you don't know. It's up to our interpretation.

@wildemind1 5 лет назад

Please give this director a guest director's slot on "The Walking Dead."

@davidbates8295 4 года назад

He should even be on Fear of the Walking dead also.

@Declan-pg8cg 6 лет назад

Fuck me, that was a viciously brilliant fight scene with energy and desperation. Excellently done. Instead of the formulaic mad Max style weapon, that blunt force shin hammer was an excellently understated and realistic touch(in context of course). I'd love to see some more of your stuff.

@tenfoldblessing 4 года назад

This truly shows that a big budget means crap without creativity.Excellent work!👍

@aresgodaware0369 6 лет назад

I was wondering why the guy went down after being kicked in the shin...then at the end he reveals a steel shin guard with a sharp edge on it. Nice weapon

You have to stick around for the last line.....SHOT IN SOISSONS FRANCE IN JUNE 2009, USING THE RED ONE CAMERA so yeah it has CGI in it. A damn fine effort. First thing i thought was "damn, this looks real" during the fight scenes. Outstanding job kids. Top shelf. Best of luck to you.

@tommywalker1795 7 лет назад

Found this randomly. I cannot believe this has only 1,258 views. Compelling, thrilling, action-packed and downright brilliant.

@shannonking3043 7 лет назад

I have watched hundreds of these short films but this one was the best I have ever seen! This is the type that makes the viewers hope for a continuation or a Part 2. The main character is a better actor than most famous actors in the multi-million dollar movies. This had better and more realistic fight scenes as well. Awesome writing, directing and acting. I absolutely loved it and I hope to see more in the future. The only thing I was curious about though was the medicine or serum he risked his life for to give to the pregnant lady. I'm curious to know if it was some type of medicine for her or the baby, or a vaccination to prevent them from turning like the others did.

@HogonAhondaFROST0050 6 лет назад

Excellent job of picking film locations.Very realistic,great acting and just overall a fantastic job!The one long fight scene had to be the most spot on to what fights are usually like in real life.I was a bit disappointed when he was running away being chased by a good sized man.He turned and with a sweep kick put him down rolling on the ground.Then wala,trying not to give too much info,the end when he sat down I said damn that's how he did it.Fantastic!Now I am going to watch it again.

@dalebecause2467 5 лет назад

LOL...what were you watching?? Those fight scenes were a joke....SMH

@dogfacedboy6947 5 лет назад

I was more impressed with how he got over being stabbed for long enough to kick everybody's ass and get so far away just by stumbling for a few seconds that he didn't need to go any further and could go back to being stabbed again. I've tried telling myself that these are just short little teasers and I don't know the plot but, more and more, it seems like getting stabbed, stumbling around, fighting MUST BE the plot because that's all we ever see. Can you get PAID to film this kinda thing?

@sulaco799 4 года назад

Body acting by the protagonist is superlative. As a sometime cinema and theater fight coach I can say he's talented in and makes the most of this aspect. It's worth it just to watch him work.

@FACup-eu2dt 6 лет назад

Very well done, Arthur. You have every right to be proud of your work.

@jmconradie_VARIETY_playlists 9 месяцев назад

To balance the narrow-minded comments below, the absence of language is a fresh and impressive depiction of what humans will become at Point Zero☑☑ Who made that decision, was it Arthur Cauras? You deserve an award for even just that. It is a top notch liturgical idea, stroke of genius.

@videolabguy 5 лет назад

What? When? Where? How? Why? Well made. Good acting. All feels. It left me feeling that this man, woman and child stand no chance at all.

@wayneg2139 5 лет назад

Another post apocalyptic short. How about something original ? ? ? Like surviving the apocalypse as it happens? Locations choices was well done, realistically gritty. Fight scene was to long, and you would NEVER EVER leave your sick pregnant wife out in the open. Gut wounds are very bad if intestines got punctured, three or four days to live horrible way to die.

@reinereine1896 2 года назад

Very good! Is a sequel coming? PS sorry for a stupid question but what was the medicin he gave to he's girlfriend? I was very moved by the intense moment between them when he came back to her and just hope that they will be allright. As I said: I want a sequel 😍

Aaaaaaah grblaaahaaaah.....aaaaahhhghgh ! which means I liked it. Great atmo and locations. The fight scenes were good. Showed some desperation rather than "everyone knows kung fu/karate/mma". A film that kept me engaged for 17+ minutes without uttering a single word.

@mohican6227 6 лет назад

@Reziac 5 лет назад

Nice work all around. One thing I noticed right away -- this guy is used to his environment (regular problem in otherwhen settings is characters who act like it's all new to them). Good body language from the actor. Hopefully someday we'll see more of this. And something I found curious -- the zombies seem to react only to each other's calls, not to miscellaneous noises (such as from the fight, hardly silent). It's like they're disconnected from every reality but their own.

@manfredknight5014 7 лет назад

This was great! Just sort of appeared in my selections. Exciting, good acting, realistic backdrop, the video filtering gave it an air of other-worldly surrealism. I wish I could have seen more.

@maryspeight2840 5 лет назад

The absolute BEST short film that i have watched to date. The fight scene was probably The most realistic that you will most likely encounter in real life. Would give this (4) stars any day . Gave up on Netflix some time ago due to their bullshit politics , may have to say good bye to Amazon as well. Again, Very well done. G.S.

@StanTheObserver-lo8rx 4 года назад

It reminded me of warriors who for centuries fought and the lucky were killed quickly. The others who were wounded must have had horrific slow deaths from infections. Dirty conditions like in this movie must have made even a flesh wound a month of agonizing pain..then die.

@Windkisssed 6 лет назад

Very nicely done! The human emotions he achieved were incredible. I loved how that one guy just wouldn’t go down. So many big films these days are so dummied up for simple minds. In this film it wasn’t fight=win....rather he had to really earn his win. The vomiting due to the increased adrenaline, the scene at the end where it looked like he was about to cry - all very realistic human reactions!! Also there was just enough information. This film didn’t leave you with more unanswered questions than action. Thank you!

@gumnentkilla5093 6 лет назад

All things cinema here are: AMAZING! I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. What has always eluded me most about film making is the ability to convey 'story' with images and very little dialogue. Your incredible work, here, has NO dialogue, and yet the action and imagery, shot so majestically, tells a multi-leveled story. POINT ZERO is a MASTERPIECE!

@blademan6075 5 лет назад

The guy could have been a lot more careful when entering the building, keeping a better watch out behind him and definitely using that knife of his immediately! It would have saved him a lot of trouble and injury. He was not a very stealthy dude, very careless. Reality is however; most people would have acted the same way, so he is a more realistic subject. I suppose that’s what keeps it exciting.
