    Am I the only one who feels that it might be a normal reaction to kill the person who had you locked in a cellar for your entire life? I mean sure he may have done that before and maybe thats why he is down there...but I would have that reaction if I tasted freedom and my oppressor captor was getting the upper hand. I dont care if it was my mother or not. He had a long time to sit and dwell and let the anger consume him so that would explain the absolute brutality

      I think the guy was insane and his mom kept him there cuz she didn’t want to kill him, but she knew she couldn’t let him free. I have to say that if I had a child like that in those times, I would’ve probably done the same thing. It’s not like they had rehabs back then

    I feel like most people missed the point. Jesse’s mom made him crazy and he reacted in a very understandable way. That girl is nuts, taking over this woman’s life and role as prison guard. Jesse is the only one whose motives I don’t question because killing your abuser makes perfect sense.

    I feel deeply sadden by the 3 of them, I'm not sure that I can feel horror or be scared at the story, we all want to protect those we love even when that protection is in no ones best interest ... we all feel the need to step up when we blame ourselves for some wrong we feel we have done or we feel we can protect someone from a wrong done to us ... who hasn't ever felt rage over a wrong done to them even when you yourself are no saint ... I can't help but think that their very humanity was their downfall ... that the very thing that made them human also made them prisoners ... a sad story the way I see it and one that was well told ... thanks for the upload "Screamfest"

    Some comments say the boy went mad with rage over being locked up but I know that it matters the mental state of the person. My brother and I were starved and beaten till the age of leaving home. We both reacted extremely different towards our parents. While my brother raged, I was reclusive. The way the person in the video was it was a sickness. Hope it gets resolved. Oops, my mind told me it was real for a moment. Yeesh.

      ....
      Mothers protect. From what says girlS mom says from those who want to cause pain:
      .....
      He is locked down there so no one can ever cause him pain or hurt him. She had no reason to bash the girl too... and when the man snaps and kills her it’s not a mother as he had no motherly bond... it’s impossible when he’s raised that way it’s just a captor to him after though he’s sad and very distraught remorseful which is something psychos don’t do... also he went to find the girl and wasn’t trying to hurt her in anyway he wants to be with her that’s all she showed him love and when mom went after her he protected her and killed his own mother to save her
      But guess what she did
      She broke his heart
      Chained him back up
      And left.
      Just what the mom was trying to prevent all those years. He got his heart broke and was betrayed by a woman he loved... so to speak. Ha.
      Mom is totally wacko it’s clear she’s the bad guy here not him. I’d do the same thing if I was chained in a basement for decades.

Instead of letting the world know she'd been knocked up without being married and face the shame that it would bring to her and her family she hid the pregnancy and locked him up downstairs, where no one would ever find him.
      Over the years he'd surely go mad... I mean think about it... he's mid twenties Id say, so 20+ years locked inside a basement with no windows, chained to a wall under the steps, with only candle light. All at the hands of the one who should have loved him the most.... Thats enough to make anyone snap...

    It used to be fairly common to keep people who were violently mentally ill or suffered from mental impairment chained up if the family was too poor to send them to an asylum. In fact, my husband's grandfather suffered what was called a "brain storm" and spent the last few years of his life chained to the leg of a kitchen table because his illness made him unpredictable and prone to wander off and terrorize the countryside. He was also said to be fantastically strong, and broke his chains a couple of times. Almost a century later, his grandson developed a blood clot in his liver that affected his body's ability to filter out its own naturally occuring DMT, and the last couple months of his life were a continuous bad trip...which is why I don't think I'm ever going to try taking DMT!

    Folks, it's obvioius what happened. The woman's husband left/died/went to war and they had a baby boy. She became unhinged living so long in the middle of nowhere. She promised herself no other man would leave her ever again (including her son) so she confined him to the celler where he grew up in chains. Everything was peachy keen until Mary showed up unannounced. Torn between lonliness and *protecting* the only man in her life, Mother helped Mary.

      @humbertojimmy 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      That could be a way of seeing it, among many others. The film doesn't give or show much to work with (which leaves lots of room for - legit - interpretation). I would take the (pre) plot to other more fictional areas, seeing as the atmosphere/reality of the film strangely relies on *isolation, agression* and a weird duality between (either) *confinement* or in turn *danger.* Maybe something happened on Earth, in the not-so-distant past, a disease, radiation, whatever, that made humans unpredictably switch between normality and bursts of agression. That made nobody trust *no one,* not even within families. As people killed each other, the landscape went more and more deserted. Parents that could protect their young would do it, but also making sure they would need to stay safe from them as well. Eventually, this meating between the girl and the woman happened, with each one not fully trusting the other, of course. That would explain why the woman was so hesitant in letting the girl stay, and also why she simply answered that "mothers protect... *from those who hurt"!* Notice the agression burst of the mother herself when she found them together, knocking her son down cold and going for a knife right away. Notice also how the boy switched between child-like and maniac within minutes! I think it's a fair way of imagining it all, also IMO.

      Katherine Meyer she could've gotten help from the authorities instead of continuing to hold a man hostage after he killed a psycho that was previously holding him hostage and probably abusing him. In situations like this he's just as much a victim as she was, presumably, by her father. They both need professional help.

      @@joybarker7906 I thought it was a deep short story. It just made me think how one woman is there when you enter life, and another one is there for when you leave and what you leave behind. Three characters appear in this story, but I think if you look at it, it's just two persons.
      Look at the "Mother" and the "Girl/Woman" Both know how to make "dough", they were both trained by their respective mothers, who had been trained in turn by their mothers, all the way back to the beginning. The dough gives them control, and the ability to protect the "Son/Man" from the destructive forces inside. Two opposite forces in equilibrium, both necessary for the wheel of life to turn.
      Yeah I guess I enjoyed this short a lot.

    Leaving all parts of the movie up to the viewers interpretation and watching everyone's comments are great.
    1.) I think the mom was like Carey's mom on the Stephen king movie, where she thinks ALL men are bad. Her son has a penis so he's naturally bad and she just had to keep him locked away.
    2.) Keeping a young kid tied in a basement all his life is abuse, and nobody needs to give them their privacy when abuse is happening.
    3.) You understand why he killed the mom. She was abusive.
    4.) For the girl to save him just to lock him up again, wow, what a dick move!

    Yes, this is a short motion picture with a virtue, and it.........as Alfred Hitchcock was wont to say, " points a little moral ". But, we needn't look too deeply. Looking too deeply into the virtues, and into the moral of the story, might take us farther from the entertainment value of this very superb motion picture. But, also let's not de - construct this piece. It's a near-perfect near-flawless example of incredible casting, writing, and directing that wastes not one single moment of space.....and THAT, alone. is worth the good commentary. All in all, this is a gem of a beautiful piece. Our director shows us the true beauty of restrained but effective acting by the three cast members. Thank you, to all cast and crew.

  • @amandaroman3471
    @amandaroman3471 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Lost.
    Did mother lock him up because he was violent and she had to protect everyone from being hurt by him when she said he will hurt
    Or
    does she mean someone will break his heart and make him hurt like the father did with her perhaps?
    Was he really violent and vicious or a normal reaction to be in chains for decades alone in a dark basement. He seemed to be overwhelmed by emotions which I feel would be expected in that
    Situation but once the adrenaline wore off he realized he had murdered his own mother and became overwelmed with sadness and guilt... hurt.
    He never had these emotions before being locked in the basement and with no interactions how would he know how to deal with anger and such?
    I am not sure what to think
    Did she lock him back up because she’s afraid of him or because she wants to help him never hurt again like a mother figure? Or was she simply insane as well from also being in captivity (she mentions getting free) and perhaps she seen a way to love someone while keeping him safe as well as gain a house and land. Perhaps she now feels like his mother and she must protect him so he never hurts like he did when he killed his mother.. ever again?
    I wish the creator would shine some light on this story ... it could be
    So many things and I don’t know if it’s meant to be confusing or a way to make you come to your own conclusion or if there’s a general storyline or reason for it all and has one true meaning?!?
    So lost.
