More About "Laboratory Conditions":
At a hospital, late one night, a physician discovers that one of her patients is missing, and likely has passed away, as he was not expected to survive the night. The physician tracks the body to a nearby medical school, where students are in the midst of an illicit experiment. The physician faces an ethical dilemma that puts her clinical judgment up against the amoral ambition of the chair of the graduate school of neuroscience. Even if the doctor can save her patient, what about the next one? And the one after that? At what point should human compassion outweigh research science and “the need to know”?

@slagginobsidians1030 8 месяцев назад

There are some psychological horror masterpieces out there that are astonishingly ingenious at instilling dread that gradually increases and doesnt fall away. The focus is on atmosphere and shock value which is a much more sophisticated aspect to horror. Fyi Hereditary is my favourite film. A24 in general is a legendary production company for the horror genre. Found footage films are also a gem. Host (2020), Hell House LLC, As Above so Below. Asvinns short horror is bloody horrifying (this one was nightmare feul). If your watching films that indulge in cliche thrills and excessive violence for scariness then you've been missing out imo.

I really enjoyed the twists and would only say that this cake needs more bread under the frosting, and a full length movie would do that. Just so many great actors chewing up the scenery and quick quirky bits need some recovery time to recover from the sugar shock. Just the other day we where talking here about quantum entanglement and how you can't use it for communication due to measuring it changes it. This moving hinges on just that! Well, that and having one person for some unknown reason, can see old man Schrödinger. A back story for that would be cool, like... Ooooo! They got entangled enough to see each other?

It’s sad that the doctor who chose saving a life and do no harm, chose revenge in that last moment. Also, I thought the lady who was so eager to see him die would be more than she seemed.

@BeYouTiful_987 16 дней назад

She didn’t chose revenge, she wants them to stop experimenting on others so the souls don’t get trapped. She knows she couldn’t save all the others without lying to them. If she told the truth they will experiment on many others and their souls would be sacrificed. So she chose to let the curly lady to be sacrificed instead so they will stop the experiment and leave dying people at peace. It’s one sacrifice. I would chose the same.

@@sharzneynkandu7618 Those things were coming from "outside" anyway, attracted by the soul hanging a bit too long there... I would say those "demons" wanted some sort of payback for having been trapped there and miss their "prize" at the same time. And the chief of that experiment is somewhat trying to play God or find something that is not meant to be discovered. So maybe her soul is pretty dark too, more than the other ones participating in it... I don't know. Trying to make sense of it...

This movie should be a full length one. It is professionally done. The transition between shots is around 3-10 seconds, keeping your attention span engaged. The close ups are short while the wide shots pans, amazing. You got professional actors. The music is in the right spots, not constant ambience like "B" movies. The CGI work is amazing. The script is well written. This is a great "A" movie. Wonder what the budget is for this movie.

@JoeRussellProductions Год назад

Thanks Mike! Yeah, it was a really amazing experience working with Marisa / Minnie. Everyone in the supporting cast all got the audition because they were friends, and they all auditioned up against some pretty big names who wanted the roll. Regarding the doctor being forgiven, I guess it all depends on what happens after they (and if they) open that door. If I was in charge of the door unlock button, I would have read the room and been like "Um, yeah, you are acting really weird Dr. Holloway, I am not opening that door."

Dust is getting better and better. I am so glad I found this channel. This was beyond my expectations, even though you always have great shorts. This was such a dynamic idea for a story. So refreshing that the experiment was spiritually inclined. I was expecting some gruesome resurrection type scenario. I was surprised by Torme's reaction to seeing the demons and her response. I love to be surprised. Big thumbs up.

This is a perfect example of a great short story, a genre very well suited for Sci-Fi. It has the describing of the scenario and the main character very early, the plot and in the end the twist that blows your mind. Very nicely done. I wish I could describe more correctly my thoughts here, but English isn’t my first language.

@traceyphillips8641 Год назад

I agree that this is a perfectly encapsulated story that can stand on its own as a short subject matter, that being said it can easily be done as a movie, with the first 2 acts being done as character setup discovery back story, even some foreshadowing from a characters point of view on what led them to this, some suggestion of a main characters interaction with a childhood death that led them here. The final act this section is true gold, but like all things could be tweaked and drawn out a bit for increased tension, better effects larger scale, Id absolutely want this experiment to be conducted in the movie at some deep deep underground facility where extraneous EM can be shielded and some incredibly accurate bio bed scale to measure weight change at TOD. One could even add in some religious subplot of the catholic church as well, and some zealots secretly being part of the team

@paulmarkert5907 Год назад

Oh my goodness! That was as close to a perfect short as I've seen in a while! It was captivating, and frustratingly ended with me wanting to know what happens when that door is opened! This could be such a great story for a long-form! As a bonus, it was nice to see Marissa Tomei again! Well done!!!

As an avid reader of speculative fiction and a professor of literary studies -and a creative writer too-this is a fantastically written, filmed, directed piece. It is a round short fiction. Perfection (writing, filming, visual). I’ll use/cite it in my classes, papers, and publications on the genre. Thanks much director, producer, actors, entire team and @DUST for making it visible. (I can be found @MSU).

Over the years DUST has been a bit hit and miss. This was a definite hit. Really well done. Great acting from a good cast. Simple premise well executed. I wasn't expecting the end. The doc's answer surprised me.

@interestedinstuff1499 Год назад

@Cam Robertson I just rewatched to check your observation. The gurney woman did several things that indicate she was doing more than the others. She air kissed the old guy good buy at the exact moment he died. She did the little song. She clearly could see something when the old man left, but she didn't tell anyone she could see what was happening. I'm not sure she was the same person in with the black holding the creepy dolly thing. The idea that she was more than she seemed is interesting. She was definitely a character the director chose to highlight, but I missed her significance. Interesting comment. I am also surprised that the doc clearly is deciding to let something potentially nasty happen to the director in the hope it might stop the experiment. Overall a well written and successfully creepy video.

I remember seeing something several years ago about a scientific team having terminally ill volunteers sleep in specially made beds on scales to measure any weight loss at the time of death. There WAS a weight loss. The doctor running the experiment studdied near death experiences and because of his analysis he believed absolutely in the existence of souls. Many of us take this on faith. There is definitely a public interest in this. Dear Producer, If you you make a full length film on this people WILL come to the theater. I certainly will and so will my friends. Nice work.

@matthewedwards6454 I always find these views on "nothing" in the afterlife funny. Your hope is that when you die you experience nothing, when you define nothing from a (probably depressed) human standpoint. Have you ever thought that when you die, rather than experiencing nothing, you would actually experience everything the universe would have to offer all at once for all eternity? In a sense, that would also be a form of nothing. It certainly makes more sense for energy to sink back into the primordial soup of reality than for it to just dissipate into emptiness Can you imagine that? Experiencing endless whitenoise and visuals with no consciousness to actually enjoy or understand them? Truly nothing.

"Sum. forty tales from the afterlives" David Eagleman "At once funny, wistful and unsettling, Sum is a dazzling exploration of unexpected afterlives-each presented as a vignette that offers a stunning lens through which to see ourselves in the here and now. In one afterlife, you may find that God is the size of a microbe and unaware of your existence. In another version, you work as a background character in other people's dreams. Or you may find that God is a married couple, or that the universe is running backward, or that you are forced to live out your afterlife with annoying versions of who you could have been. With a probing imagination and deep understanding of the human condition, acclaimed neuroscientist David Eagleman offers wonderfully imagined tales that shine a brilliant light on the here and now."

I loved the concept and the ending, but i don't necessarily want a sequel or full-length movie. Think about it: do you really want to know what happens afterwards? How many people have been and will be victims of that sort of malevolent force? Are you so curious that you'd be willing to open the door and let out whatever got trapped inside, no matter the risk to your own safety and the safety of the team? In my opinion, it's better not to know some things, especially when it involves supernatural forces we cannot begin to fathom, let alone protect ourselves from.

Marisa Tomei & Minnie Driver are big name stars to some of us. I thought their acting performances were flawlessly executed. Paulo Costanzo's performance was also excellent, I hope there are more short and full feature length films with their top notch talents. They draw me into the story and for a few moments I forget the outside world and its challenges and problems don't exist, as I feel myself totally immersed in the little universes they create.
