    I know everyone is saying they want a full movie, but what I like about these shorts is how they are concentrated and cut the fluff. The essence of horror.

      This is exactly why I watch short films. I am hooked on them. They get to the point, and the good thing about no absolute ending is you get to imagine what happens in you own mind, or discuss it with friends as to what they think the ending would be. Short films are great!

      Films produced by A24 are masterpieces. Psychologically crafty without your classic poorly executed scares with blaring additional sounds after predictable cliches to startle the audience. No, a much more profound, sophisticated horror relying on atmosphere and shock value and clever cinematography and superb acting.

      There are some psychological horror masterpieces out there that are astonishingly ingenious at instilling dread that gradually increases and doesnt fall away. The focus is on atmosphere and shock value which is a much more sophisticated aspect to horror. Fyi Hereditary is my favourite film. A24 in general is a legendary production company for the horror genre. Found footage films are also a gem. Host (2020), Hell House LLC, As Above so Below. Asvinns short horror is bloody horrifying (this one was nightmare feul). If your watching films that indulge in cliche thrills and excessive violence for scariness then you've been missing out imo.

      I really enjoyed the twists and would only say that this cake needs more bread under the frosting, and a full length movie would do that. Just so many great actors chewing up the scenery and quick quirky bits need some recovery time to recover from the sugar shock. Just the other day we where talking here about quantum entanglement and how you can't use it for communication due to measuring it changes it. This moving hinges on just that! Well, that and having one person for some unknown reason, can see old man Schrödinger. A back story for that would be cool, like... Ooooo! They got entangled enough to see each other?

    This movie should be a full length one. It is professionally done. The transition between shots is around 3-10 seconds, keeping your attention span engaged. The close ups are short while the wide shots pans, amazing. You got professional actors. The music is in the right spots, not constant ambience like "B" movies. The CGI work is amazing. The script is well written. This is a great "A" movie. Wonder what the budget is for this movie.

      Honestly, I see it more like her understanding that they screwed with forces beyond their comprehension, and she understands there are consequences. And the fact that one of the entities turned to shush her makes it clear she was not the ire of their wrath, but rather the doctor who was oblivious to the feeling that everyone else got when they understood they did something unforgivable. All she's doing is letting nature run its course, who else is on the receiving end is unknown, but safe to assume she's not.

Given the depth of the cast and crew (lots of high level folks there!) this one has to be in the 7 figure zone.. Was this a pilot? I think some folks and or studios float ideas on the interwebs just to get a pulse of what folks think and reactions. Way different than test screenings as it's a much broader audience.

      I agree that this is a perfectly encapsulated story that can stand on its own as a short subject matter, that being said it can easily be done as a movie, with the first 2 acts being done as character setup discovery back story, even some foreshadowing from a characters point of view on what led them to this, some suggestion of a main characters interaction with a childhood death that led them here. The final act this section is true gold, but like all things could be tweaked and drawn out a bit for increased tension, better effects larger scale,
      Id absolutely want this experiment to be conducted in the movie at some deep deep underground facility where extraneous EM can be shielded and some incredibly accurate bio bed scale to measure weight change at TOD. One could even add in some religious subplot of the catholic church as well, and some zealots secretly being part of the team

Everyone in the supporting cast all got the audition because they were friends, and they all auditioned up against some pretty big names who wanted the roll. Regarding the doctor being forgiven, I guess it all depends on what happens after they (and if they) open that door. If I was in charge of the door unlock button, I would have read the room and been like "Um, yeah, you are acting really weird Dr. Holloway, I am not opening that door."

      @Cam Robertson I just rewatched to check your observation. The gurney woman did several things that indicate she was doing more than the others. She air kissed the old guy good buy at the exact moment he died. She did the little song. She clearly could see something when the old man left, but she didn't tell anyone she could see what was happening. I'm not sure she was the same person in with the black holding the creepy dolly thing. The idea that she was more than she seemed is interesting. She was definitely a character the director chose to highlight, but I missed her significance. Interesting comment. I am also surprised that the doc clearly is deciding to let something potentially nasty happen to the director in the hope it might stop the experiment. Overall a well written and successfully creepy video.

    I’ve watched dozens and dozens of NDE’s and the idea of evil entering at death doesn’t figure.

Your hope is that when you die you experience nothing, when you define nothing from a (probably depressed) human standpoint. Have you ever thought that when you die, rather than experiencing nothing, you would actually experience everything the universe would have to offer all at once for all eternity? In a sense, that would also be a form of nothing. It certainly makes more sense for energy to sink back into the primordial soup of reality than for it to just dissipate into emptiness
      Can you imagine that? Experiencing endless whitenoise and visuals with no consciousness to actually enjoy or understand them? Truly nothing.

      "At once funny, wistful and unsettling, Sum is a dazzling exploration of unexpected afterlives-each presented as a vignette that offers a stunning lens through which to see ourselves in the here and now.
      In one afterlife, you may find that God is the size of a microbe and unaware of your existence. In another version, you work as a background character in other people's dreams. Or you may find that God is a married couple, or that the universe is running backward, or that you are forced to live out your afterlife with annoying versions of who you could have been. With a probing imagination and deep understanding of the human condition, acclaimed neuroscientist David Eagleman offers wonderfully imagined tales that shine a brilliant light on the here and now."

    Marisa Tomei & Minnie Driver are big name stars to some of us. I thought their acting performances were flawlessly executed. Paulo Costanzo's performance was also excellent, I hope there are more short and full feature length films with their top notch talents.
    They draw me into the story and for a few moments I forget the outside world and its challenges and problems don't exist, as I feel myself totally immersed in the little universes they create.

    This would make a fantastic, full, featured movie. You have to make a full-length production. Well done! Great acting, a great plot, excellent character development, great pacing, all in such a tiny amount of time, and it's original. Greenlight this thing!

    That was freaking awesome! It was so well done that it felt like I had just watched an entire feature length film. I gotta see more like this, you guys knocked it out of the park. Not to mention my all time biggest crush Marisa Tomei in the lead, great choice. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up here, great job.

    Morality plays hard here. Doc seems to seek vengeance. Upset at her "patient" very nearly losing his shot at redemption by the maniplations of the scientist lady, she sees the evil in the room and lies about it to cause malevolence. This all means that she allowed the evil to escape the room and afflict her. This shows the length and power of the tentacles of evil. Good effort

    Incredible directing, glimpses of vengeance even within good and the blurred lines of the nuances between what is good and evil.

    These shorts have come a LONG way since the advent of the interwebs.
    The production value alone of this one is amazing.
    These kinds of projects give the viewer the sense that these are truly works of art for the whole cast.
    As a stand alone this film is fantastic with stellar performances.
    The universe it opens up could be rich with story telling.
    Creative and wonderfully produced.
    More like this please.

      This is actually a similar plan if I end up having a terminal condition. But much more involved. I've told everyone, years ago, in my family this will happen. I want all types of scientists performing tests, psychics/mediums, religious leaders etc. very similar to this. I want them to prove something/anything happens at the time of death. Do we have a soul etc.? Whether it be spiritual/religious or scientific I want the world to know the answer. I'm agnostic. But it doesn't matter. Whichever way the science/proof points.....

      @@KM-nj3cm since it's unlikely that any of us conscious beings can predict what happens after we die, similarly I think it would be pretty improbable for us to invent a technology to detect whatever force the soul is.
