Thanks to everyone for bringing it to life! ♥️😌

This story was more creepy than scary. I love not knowing what's going to happen next. It's very suspenseful. Love it...

A horror film where the protagonist survives? That's rare, these days.

Also, this was delightfully cerebral, instead of relying on jump scares.

The bus driver seemed awfully calm for someone who almost drove over a person. In fact he looked like he didnt give a shit.

[hildaelson]

As someone who almost jumped into a lake to end it all, almost 6 years ago, this hit hard. I’m glad I’m not currently haunting that particular lake at my uni.

What I particularly liked about this video is that beyond its «horrific» aspect, it offers us, through the speech of the ghost of the girl who mysteriously appears next to the young man waiting for the bus, a message of courage, of resilience and hope in life. What she tells the young man is that we must never give up in the face of adversity and that life is worth living, despite all the hardships it inflicts on us. In short, she encourages him not to commit the irreparable as she did, throwing herself in front of the bus several years ago, out of despair.

A horror story with a positive ending is really refreshing. And using the "epilogue" voiceover at the end to punctuate that is brilliant. What's also notable is that it didn't need to advertise itself as an "Award Winning Horror Story" as so many others do. In fact, that's very much in keeping with the quiet, understated feeling of the film itself. Well done! Please make more like this!

the way the girl was actually something more than I expected. Thankfully the boy survived

[VanessaShuShu]

I got rejected from uni of my dreams a while back and I know exactly how it feels when you are a teenager and everything is pressing on you and you pretty much feel like your life is over :/ I’m glad there is an ending where he survived and come back to him mum and tells her he loves her so it shows that he started to appreciate his family. Film itself is great, scary, intense, deep, love dialogues and music! Amazing work!

[ElijahHugh]

Really enjoyed the fact that this film is not like other cliche horror films with jump scares and monsters. You really need to watch it twice or more to see all hints and double meanings in dialogues. It’s deeper than it seems:) Great actors, great director and a crew 👏🏻 bravo

[Annabelle]

The way she said ‘die’ just gave me the chills

[jiangwanyeehaw]

I honestly love that this had a good ending. Got kinda tired of people dying at the end of horror films

[ElijahHugh]

Showed it to my son, he loved it. Good luck with the film! 😊

[jiyakapurfilms]

For a horror film this one played out so beautifully and had a sense of calm all around- loved the use of diffusion filter to create that dreamy vibe. Great work !

[harleyannafelzke]

"its said it comes back. Every once in a while." Best line in a horror film yet

[quikinn]

Placing an ad right as the climax of the film occurs really emphasizes the horror, good job

[thefurrybstard]

Nice to see a story about a Ghost whois trying to help albeit in her own frightening way. Enjoyable film, mate.

[professord]

Genuinely scary, but with a surprisingly wholesome ending. WELL-Done! :)

[senzanome]

It's perhaps the first horror film that made me cry. Wanting to end it is one of the wrongest and saddest choices you can make. Live.

[brianpan]

Nice little film. Great acting. The only thing which would have upped its game is if the bus driver opened the door for the lad and said, "Room for one more!"
