THE THING IN THE APARTMENT | Horror Short Film 

Why don't you understand this is a movie? Turning on the lights may have startled it anyway. Why dont you think before you type?! 🙄

she did turn on the lamp as soon as she got there maybe there was no switch to turn on a light until she got to the lamp... I can't believe how you think its ok to criticize something so simply explained here! as if you have created a better film 🙄

I've heard the thing about the light switches a million times. I think maybe we did a take where she tried the switch and it didn't work, but we didn't use that take for whatever reason. I think if she tried the wall switch and it didn't work, people would just be complaining about why the overhead lights don't have power but the lamps do. If she tried them and they did work, the lighting would be really bright and flat and boring. When you're shooting this fast, you've got about five seconds to make these decisions or you fall behind. But we wanted low key atmospheric lighting, so I don't regret it. So she walks past two light switches. Maybe she didn't see them in the dark. Maybe she's really focused on what's in front of her and went for the lamps because she could see them. Or maybe she knows from being in Lindsay's apartment before that they don't work. Who cares? It's just what she did in the situation.

I totally agree with you 💯 enjoy the short film (or dont) then move on! This short is great.👍🏽👍🏽⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ it was a perfect decision to have her use the lamps I mean maybe she didn't even know where the dam light switches are but she could see a lamp...lol intelligent people understand these nuances... and personally when I'm freaked out in the dark it's scarier for me to reach out and turn on a lamp than be next to a wall scaling it for a switch. I mean what if something reaches out of the dark and grabs my wrist?! 😳😂 I really enjoyed this film. I'm an old lady and I have seen them all and it's been a long time since any made me jump but this one did! Anyone can be a monday morning barstool quarterback trying to say what would have played better but only truly gifted people can create a seriously spooky short with great acting😉 I'm sorry some people can't think outside the box, Please don't take it personally!

​@@Notou-iz2uc wow your spicky ! Calm down its just a comment. Sheesh

do you understand you were watching a movie? what kind of interesting would your version have been?

@@Notou-iz2uc He's got a point, though. It's noticeable how incessant she was about entering the appartment. It makes it harder to suspend disbelief when characters act abnormal. Her friend was freakin out and repeatedly told her she didn't want to go back, yet for some reason Sam insists that she's going to check it out. At the very least, she should've called the police first. As a writer, you have to come up with a good enough reason for the character to want to enter the creepy appartment, and I think this short kinda failed at that. The story needs Sam to go in, but the execution ends up feeling a bit forced.

I think the last thing Sam wants to do is bring Lindsay back to her apartment or call the police and make a whole night out of it. It doesn't seem like that kind of friendship dynamic at all. Just look at the way the characters interact. Sam clearly has her shit together but Lindsay doesn't. I think you could assume this isn't the first time Lindsay has called Sam about a freakout, so Sam knows from experience to be skeptical. That's why, after Lindsay tells her story, the first thing that Sam asks is, "What kind of sleeping pill?" She knows about Lindsay's problems and although she's sympathetic, she's getting kind of tired of dealing with them. The way Sam talks to Lindsay in the driveway of her apartment bears this out -- it's like she's talking to a child throwing a tantrum. Sam wants to get this over with and show Lindsay that there's nothing wrong so she can go home and go back to bed.

@johnwilliamcross: My thoughts exactly 💯!

@Xaeed: it's interesting that you aren't even considering being brave in that situation. I think maybe your critique is more about you than it is about the film because I wouldn't have called the police I would have gone in to see if there was something in there but I'm OG like that 😉

Lol No one forgets there cell 🤣

I wouldn't be sitting round explaining in the car lock door and get the fuc-k out of there ladies 😖😬

@@depresso9534 If you think you might be crazy, you might call someone who you know will listen to you.

Ghostbusters! A priest. or if I'm not sure if I'm losing my mind and I just took a sleeping pill I would call a friend. that's who I would call. I would not call the police if some crazy looking creature like this showed up at my house.

people who make horror movies, hate logical thinking. I personally get annoyed when people in horror movies are behaving stupidly, it's so unrealistic, it takes you out.

Better yet have a firearm, baseball bats, and/or pepper spray.

​@@mememefinally I get what you're saying but, at the same time, the girl who lived there was questioning her own reality what she only saw for a second and wondered if it would even appear again when the cops got there. What isn't talked about in the film is why she was taking sleeping pills in the first place. It seems like she already had mental issues and therefore didn't trust her own eyes.

No! NOOOOOOO!! Not the Valium! It'll put you to sleep! That's what the monster wants you to dooooo!!!

Please don't call the name of the Lord in vain

​@@faithogbonda9218Yes,thank you!!!!!😊

Okay so my dumb ass accidentally clicked the time stamp when reading your comment (at about the five minute mark) and I didn’t notice. So when the same scene played again I was like Oh wow. That does feel like a Deja vu. Then I realized what I did. 🙈 😂

Why don't you understand this is a movie meant to have elements of fright? Why dont you think before you type?!

because watching someone doing something boring in broad daylight is not interesting or frightening at all unless something crazy happens.

It’s a horror short movie, not that deep my guy.

Awesome, thanks! Please share!

Who cares it’s a fictional story?? This isn’t IRL, relax.

Thanks! I believe it was RED Epic Dragon

I’m right there with you, that seemed like a pretty cheap gag. Other than that, it was pretty well done overall.

that makes it much more terrifying when it can just pop up anywhere. duh. 🙄

Well, to be fair we don't know the 'type' of entity it is. Demon? Cryptid? Alien? It appeared in her apartment to start with, so who knows what abilities it has.

Me too.

same here😂

The car wouldn't start.

Eine Schlaue Freundin wäre hingefahren hätte aber vorher die Polizei angerufen...wäre besser gewesen als allein

yeah but are you going to go into a dark house with a possible intruder in there in the middle of the night? Who cares if cops are dumb and people freeze, that doesn't explain walking into danger for no reason. duuummmmmmmmb

she turned on two lamps did you not watch the movie?

@@Notou-iz2uc as soon as you walk in anywhere when it's dark.. you switch on the lights. Walk around with your phone light?? Yeah, I watched the video. Probably something you would do

Thank you for another demonstration of small mindedness. I might not turn on the lights right away so I dont alert an intruder I'm there. I might not know where the switches are but could see the lamps like she did... I might not be the sharpest tool but I'm certainly intelligent enough to know this movie is for ENTERTAINMENT. Its not meant to be a training video for how to get Boogeyman out of your house... Your comments only show the world how short-sighted you are 😉

Actually, no not in every apartment. Nor every condo, even. I found that out when home-hunting.

This about shadow people you mean?😮. Lol.Maybe?

It's a part of Crypt TV Monster Universe

6 years ago, Crypt TV. But it is by John.

Crypt TV licensed it but I wanted to post my original unedited version, remastered. I recommend visiting Crypt TV to watch the sequel.

@@johnwilliamross What's the sequel called on there?

@@DGneoseeker1 The Thing in the Apartment: Chapter 2 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xLx0M0-a_Ok.htmlsi=jQJGG79lRTa5Hvq4

I just added them.

she turned on two lamps did you not watch the movie?

​@@Notou-iz2ucAnd here you are again telling every one off. You really need to relax and just go with the flow. Is it really THAT important?

Welcome to the generation who can dish out opinions but can't take someone having an opinion about their opinion 🙄 who do you think you are to attempt to tell me how I should be? You're doing what you're telling me not to do😂😂😂
