No idea what's going on here, but I would have stuck around for a hour or two to find out. Great cinematography. The family photo was a great addition. The girl's countenance of grim-acceptance was compelling and believable. Loved it. Give us more!

Breathtaking - she found her father the zombie. Holds up a pic trying to get him to understand she is his daughter. Then we see the full picture with her younger sister whom he has killed and eaten. Now she must put him down. Brilliant and the cinematography along with the lack of dialogue really pulled this together nicely.

Here is where silence is golden . The actors are excellent and carry the film with little effort . The imagery, sound effects, and overall mood also make this a great horror short

she forgot to put glasses on him, he didnt see the picture without them

the music, the acting, the dreary yet dreamy landscape and music. gorgeous

Great horror short. Zombie movies are sometimes sad not just scary. 😱😱😱

The double reveal of the photo is a stroke of genius. And so is the mislead with the two cards to make the encounter feel random. Then answering why she restrained him. The order of events chosen here is brilliant.
I enjoyed that immensely. Thank you so much.

The artistry and precision in your work are exemplary. Thank you for setting such high standards in the world of short film and cinema.

I love how everybody's praising the film, yet everybody's asking what had happened.😂😂😂

[Sofiafaee]

Oh my gosh, please do more realistic zombie movies. I love these are my favorite and there’s not enough of them that are good.

Great tension building. Thanks for not having a cheap jump scare at the end.

I like this as well as the other woods that had Patricia Clarkson and Bruce Campbell from the evil dead films. Both woods were great movies including this one. Thanks for posting this one. The actress was pretty good in this one as was the actor who played the zombie. I especially felt a little bad for him because he didn’t have a jacket on in the brutal cold wheather. Talk about being a trooper. How many actors are willing to go through such a thing? Great job by the cast and crew who put all of this together. And props to the director hope to see more great and awsome films from you guys real soon.

Other than the zombie this gave me The long dark vibes, loved it.

Ok, so whos car did she enter in the beginning? Was he alive? Did she steal from him? What....

[daniellloyd]

I really enjoyed this and appreciate the messaging of the story. Sometimes you just gotta let go.

As I read the comments the consensus seems to be that this great piece of work is about zombies. I was completely in another direction. Thought this guy was just a murderer and that she had drugged him to get control over him. She looks angry so I figured this “monster” had to have done something deliberately and not because of some zombie caused by a virus. Great cinematography and acting!

Well done to all involved, good story 👍

There was a little skull in the beginning
