BETTER OFF - Music Video | "Give It Love" by dazeychain & The Wildcardz
Almost everyone has experienced at least one relationship of some kind that was toxic for them in one way or another, and we all must undergo that same journey of discovering that we are better off without that person in our life (at least to some capacity).
Conceptualized, created, and first released in 2018. BETTER OFF was originally set to the song "better off" by Ariana Grande, but due to copyright and distribution issues, BETTER OFF (The 2023 Version) has found itself a beautiful new song by dazeychain and The Wildcardz called "Give It Love". This new version additionally features previously unseen footage, a fresh edit, fresh coloring, and overall pacing and technical improvements.
Thank you to everyone involved in the making of this music video! This project is extremely special to me, which is why I have unearthed and decided to share it in the most public way I can.

I watched only half of this...but seriously? She suspected someone got in her house and just locked herself in her room and went to bed instead of calling 911? Lol that doesn't really make any sense. Let's see what happenes next.
Amazing 😍
Call the frikkin cops!!!! Font go to sleep!!! Omg 😮😮😮😮
I always lock the door. With double kee . Thanks for the video
That's why you always lock your Apartment Door
Pretty Actress
So was it him so many unanswered questions need a part 2
Thank you for the support and comments! 😊 I would love to see a continuation of this story. There’s so much to still explore here.
Nope if my door open im going back to my on the way im calling the cops we dont go in seen way too many horror movies i know better no ma'am
Super muzon
I even lock my windows.
Same! Thanks for the comment. 😊
The ground beef wasn’t done
A famous serial killer made a music video of all of his killings but the drum track was lost and unable to be duplicated . I can't believe he killed all of those people without any re-percussion.
In my childhood, when me and my mother goes to school (she was teacher), she double checks and ask me repeatedly wheather the front door is locked. I used to laugh because the house was located in a trusted neighborhood and well away from roadways. But seeing this short, Now I know why..
-5 ⭐'s this films reminds me of a spoiled egg sandwich that i had in the 3rd grade. I just just want to pour a tall glass of ice cold toilet water. I would like 12 min and seconds of my time back. This video is unworthy of a rating. Please uninstall, do not pass go, please do not collect $200 and do not quit your day job.
Hello! Thank you for the feedback and the viewership. Your comment was quite colorful with descriptions. Also, you might like to know, I have not quit my day job yet; but there’s always hope! 😊
boring
Thank you for the feedback. I’m always looking to improve my releases.
Wow part 2 please… question I’ve went all through the songs you give… the scene with her on the bed… song comes in. “We’re not born to feel the pain x3… How can I dream if I’m never awake. Who is this? Great job.
Hi! Thank you so much for your kind words and support! I truly do hope I am able to give you guys some form of sequel/continuation to this story. The feedback has been so much better than I expected.
Who else is watching with tears in there eyes😢
I’m glad the piece was able to make you feel something. I hope feeling those feels was a good thing! ❤️🥹🤗

She should have locked her door before she left.😲Her door was locked??😞😲Oh No!
3:53 can someone pls tell me what's name of rock song that played????
Hello! The name of the song is “Heartless” by Paul Udarov and Jay Ray. Thank you for your support of UNLOCKED!
@@MichaelJosephSmithOfficial really great show i love ur movies and thanks for answering:) keep up making a good movie;)
@@isminartikadang7717 Thanks so much, friend! The motivation is always appreciated. Please look forward to more new content this year! 😁
When I was little may be 7 my father once left the front door opened. Early morning he checked house for an intruder but everything was good but after that incident one morning many appliances were missing😂it was a thief . After that day we lock every single door in our house when we go outside.
Oh my gosh! That’s so scary, and it’s awful that things were stolen. I’m so happy no one was hurt! Thank you for supporting our film! 🤗
@@MichaelJosephSmithOfficial actually he came inside and did his research even he made a key of main entrance . He came back after few days and took many things. Yes no one was hurt. It was my late grandmom who told us about the theif and missing things. It was really scary. We changed main gate and lock also. I still remember his footprints it was a dark rainy day. I became famous in school also after that incident. 😂And I love this movie also.
ohhh what a story...goshhh love from india ..
Thank you so much! I appreciate everyone that’s supporting this project, but international fans are extra special to me. Please look forward to new content soon! 🤗

Take the knife with you, idiot

Moral of the Story: Always Locked Your Doors Whenever You Leave The House Because Someone Might Break Into Your Home!
It could happen anytime, anywhere. You never know! 👻🚪🔑
I always must remember to lock my door when I leave my condo as I go on my errands or some strange person might come in. But when you have a doorman that doubles up as a security personnel, then all is good and safer than if you live in a typical apartment building.
Nice! I bet Charlotte wishes she had a doorman/security personnel. Thanks for the support and comment! :)
SHE FORGOT TO LOCK HER DOOR?!?!? UNSAFE!!!!!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks for the review and thank you for your support! I’m happy you enjoyed the film.
Cool movie
I’m so glad you liked UNLOCKED. Thank you for your support!
you need to put the 350 likes to do part 2 on the man stream in caps , not in a reply i only just saw it . dont make me hnnt you down ...... sorry too many horror flicks under my belt . 350 LIKES FOR PART 2 UNLOCKED
I appreciate the enthusiasm haha! I’m glad you enjoyed the film, and I would love the opportunity to continue this world. If there’s a story that’s right and the timing works out with my team, I would be delighted to do a continuation. There’s so much room to build upon what we’ve already created.
what an idiot 👧 girl
As soon as I saw the boots were missing I would have been the hell out of there so fast your head would spin. 😆😂🎉
Same! I don’t think I would’ve been able to go in without someone else hahaha 😂
She means come back to you
🥶👿🎃👻💀☠
Andrew
We are to this my family my day but I owe you but I trying micheal trying
I don't get it , the plot is unclear.
Hello! There is definitely a layer of included ambiguity for multiple reasons, but at its core UNLOCKED is a home invasion film that preys upon realistic horror and paranoia.
Anyone know the name of the band that plays in the empty room??????
Hey there! The rock music that can be heard coming from another room when Charlotte sits on the bed is “Heartless” by Paul Udarov and Jay Ray. I hope that helps! Thank you for the support 😁
Thank you Michael ! Excellent job on the film!!! Also, I am a music producer and do a lot of horror music if you ever want a hand. I would love to do some music or the audio track if ever interested. For free. Trying to get my name stamped on the scene ya know. Keep up the excellent work!!
@@joshuapool3025 Thank you so much, Joshua! I’ve been using Artlist for a lot of my work, but if I ever need something super specific for a horror project I’ll make sure to look up this message! I’ll be working on a horror expected for release mid next year.
@@MichaelJosephSmithOfficial Awesome! Appreciate you Michael
I love all of these horror short films for such a weird reason. They all capture such a raw and normal aesthetic, a lot of them are filmed in very humble locations (not in mansions or high quality high budget sets/locations) and it’s aesthetically pleasing to see places and houses that give off a nostalgic feeling for the middle class lifestyle I grew up with, especially night time scenes. Great work!
Yes! There’s a sort of unexplainable magic you can only achieve in a place that’s been lived in and that is in a middle-lower income area. There’s a life to it that’s hard to achieve if one had to create something like that from scratch through production design. Thank you so much for your comment and support! Please look forward to more releases on this channel!
@@MichaelJosephSmithOfficial It’s nice to see someone else who appreciates that kind of vibe. I’ll definitely be following your work to see how you progress, thanks for sharing your creativity with us!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✔
Bruh!!! Im done with you!!! Thank god this is your last flick. I was really into this one. Ive watched all your stuff. Then BAM!! You go & really leave me hanging. Well let me tell you this. You didn't do anything but make me, make her a non survivor. That's your fault. She can blame you for that one. 😤😤😤😤😤😤
well shes dead ,if the land lord didnt erase the recording .the police will watch and catch him .the film is great and the girl has guts so much better than thr typical screaming freak outs that are normal . she did every thing right for her self except a total house search .unless he made a key he was in the place all that time .he had plenty of time to kill her
Thank you so much for your comment and support! Yes, I totally agree and love what McKenzie brought to this character. I’m so glad that the ambiguity and open-endedness of the project has left so many wonderful interpretations and theories. It really inspires me to think about what this story would be if ever were to be expanded.
Scariest part was that she sleeps in socks.
She was either having a psychotic meltdown or it was real.
Yes, I think that’s the fun part about this film! It’s up for debate which Charlotte is experiencing, but I think we’ve left enough bread crumbs for people to come to a strong conclusion on their own. I would love to explore which of those realities is certain in a continuation film.
Why put the laptop under the pillow that will burn
That’s fair! I do baby my laptop too much. However, as much as I love my laptop, I wouldn’t think twice about it if I thought someone was in my apartment.
@@MichaelJosephSmithOfficial by the way I followed you because I follow people that has horror films because I love watching horror films
Thank you so much! That means a great deal to me! I’m currently making a drama film, but I’m writing a new horror film and plan to shoot it early next year.
@@MichaelJosephSmithOfficial wow next year I will probably watch it I always watch ur videos 🥰
That’s so cool to hear! I will work my hardest to get the best film out as soon as I can.
A tense thriller! - There’s definitely more to be explored here. Have you considered a sequel?
Thank you for your support! Yes, I would love to explore this world more and agree that’s there’s more here. I’m working on a few other projects right now, but if the support continues I’ll definitely be considering where to go next with these characters and concepts.
