When the E came I was instantly yelling like "THE THE it's THE oh my god why is this so obvious?!" Nd then the 2 A's appeared and I knew that the word was Hangman. This was such a wholesome movie. Absolutely loved it.

An awesome idea, fantastically executed! I loved the sci-fi element of a mysterious piece of paper with an otherworldly source, real-time communicating with the protagonist. We often think of sci-fi being about robots and distant futures and worlds, and horror as blood and gore, terrifying monsters and spirits. But that's a simplistic view that places limitations on creators, and expectations on viewers. The two genres are very often intertwined. In my mind, sci-fi is about invoking imagination in the viewer, and crafting scenarios which are drastically outside of typical reality. Horror is about creating a feeling of suspense, fear, and the unexpected, while making the audience imagine how they would feel and what they would do if they were in the story. In my opinion, you've managed to do all of those things in one short film. Well done, I enjoyed every minute of it!

Too predictable but still made me feel dumb at the end.

Also the entity cheated!

[gilbertwilliams]

I have the choice to run out the front door or find out who's making that noise upstairs 😂😂😂

[juanescamilla]

The sound of someone or something running down the stairs when you're alone, freaks me the fuck out! I would shit in my pants if that happened to me. Good job on that aspect of the film. The writing on the paper by an entity is/was brilliant, excellent! Had it been me I would have ran out the house immediately and straight to my Catholic church. The ending in my opinion was okay. I was expecting an entity carrying a noose running down the stairs towards the actor to hang him. Overall I think it was a good short horror movie. Therefore I have subscribed to your post to motivate and inspire you to make more short horror films. Keep it up and good luck. Go Army!!! Airborne!!!

[americanitalianisrael]

BEAUTIFULLY DONE. EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT. THE MUSIC, ACTING ETC. GREAT JOB.

[tommylee]

How come movie shorts like this one that wins a lot of rewards don't get many views but other shorts with no awards have tons of views... lol.

[julianlippkefilms]

The flashlight shot at 2:35 is amazing! Well done!

[EvoHereLol]

2:42 im getting flashbacks when i first watched the blackening.

[phintycoon]

No fair, Hangman entity has to draw out all the parts, not the whole thing after 4 or 5 failures. Common!!!

[kaleoy]

He really filled the cup up with water.

[eddiemanuel]

Magnificent and brilliant creative ending is frightening and sad.

[gothicdragonwarriorqueen]

This is the coolest horror film ever!🙂🖤💀☠🧛‍♂️🧛‍♀️👻🦇⚰🪦🕷🕸

[sweetlin_]

We played this game in school when i was 6th std😒🙄

[luiscavalcanti]

Youve just found a piece of paper enticing challenging u to play a game and you simply go for it ? Without any explanation, any scary at all knowing, for sure, that’s something evil since you’re all alone at home ? Pretty dumbasss guy
He deserved what he got

Btw, great stuff
