UPHEAVAL | COSMIC HORROR | OFFICIAL SHORT ANIMATION FILM | 2023

“The shivering whispers of a thousand prayers accusing their gods to relieve them from overwhelming and eternal darkness. A world in agony facing the truth, the lack of a divine being to retrieve their souls. And as their scream become silent a bleak veil drips down to earth and slowly turns to peaceful silence”

Zephid Realm - UPHEAVAL
--------------------------------------------
Upheaval is a dystopian visual journey into a world of cosmic horror, filled with darkness and chaos. Drawing on the lore of the Zephid cult, this short film interprets the arrival and birth of the Last Traveller, an invasive, dark entity that uses planets as hosts and breeding grounds to give birth to its matter of chaos. The born swarm intelligence takes over the surface of the planets, plunging all previous life into destruction and chaos. The Traveller and its Matter of Chaos are the beginning of an unstoppable cycle that will take over the entire universe in billions of years.

Proof that horror can be done without blood and guts. Very nicely done!

[Dr.JeremyDunks]

Holy cow, the visuals are absolutely stunning. Great job!

[VRCerys]

What an absolutely masterful animation, it's so encapsulating, I crave more like this! And it's actually astonishing this work of art isn't in the millions of views, criminally underrated! In less than 10 minutes you were able to create a more suspenseful and captivating horror than most of the genre in recent years! Your work warrants so much more praise and recognition than a measly few thousand, and I'd love to see you go far with your work! Bravo!

This is something I have seen in my Nightmares and of which I wrote poetry long ago about such things. I couldn't give the visual until now and watching this was very difficult. I felt like I was going to have a panic attack! I couldn't feel comfortable! Whoever made this animation has a terrifying gift to cause extreme unease, fathomless fear, and yet a fascination with the darkness, to uncover your own Hell.

What i understand is this.... so the worlds divine entity has abandoned them for unknown reasons. They have been overtaken by some "alien" or creature ( the black water stuff that morphing different shapes)... it somehow lives or combines itself somewhat with humans. It even makes different parts (organs) like the beating heart which was inserted.... after a certain amount of people are "made" on the assembly line it brings them to the area where that powerful alien with the 3 bright lights basically rips them apart.... idk why? So i think maybe the killed mutated people are reincarnated back to just be made again and destroyed... or it was just a one time thing... but the creature at the end seems like he xollects or destroys the actual soul... at first i thought the thing at the end with the lights might have been their god who abandoned them but has returned to collect their souls like it shoild have so they can rest in peace... but i think it wasnt their god... just a part of this weird species that seems to live off our pain or anyway hope this clears it up... watch it again and maybe what i think happened will make sense. I could be wrong AF tho lol

Atmosphericly superb! Chilling! BRAVO!

[Art_oftheNight]

This is f’ing out of this world. Fantastic job! Oozes cosmic horror!!

[spencerthu]

How can a person even think of creating something like this. It might sound odd but this seems like a higher dimension or a lifeform so advanced that its hard for our simple life form to even see it . Does anyone else hate that it seems like we just abandoned the cosmos or idk but when i watch this i imagine it being like this somewhere out in the vast universe. Itd be amazing to witness things like this. Well done

[sumandatta]

How did I just discover this channel? Your work is absolutely outstanding. And you do all of it yourself! Congrats. Insane. The vibe and the atmosphere you build is unparalleled.

[seanrosenau]

A perfect example of 'fear of the unknown'.

[Sharpened]

Great SFX. Super creepy vibe. When I watch this I really want to know more (which is, part of the fascination w/cosmic horror, being oblivious to the unfathomable threats that are out there, and trying to discover why, and needing more information.)

[ayu.dwi]

The sounds effect, the visuals, the cinematography and story telling …. Superb. Wanting for more, thanks for sharing
