Wacth " The darkness Indian horror short film " a real Ghost story a trilling horror short film based on true story . Search it on youtube don't miss it
Cinematography : Awesome. Sound : Flawless. Acting : Good. Editing: 5 Stars Storytelling : 4 out of 5 It's not as easy as what most people think doing a short movie. Well done.
Ian Legend yeah, the directing in the newest conjuring movie was top notch. that whole sequence with the crooked man was master class. plus lights out was great too. James Wan id doing a great job in horror movies at the moment.
Has anyone heard of constructive criticism? If you have an issue with the film, express it. Give the creator tips on how to improve. Saying 'it's shit' isn't helping anyone.
Thank you. It makes me so mad to see people's hard work that they are proud of get shat on by little pretentious assholes that think they know everything. Social media has really ruined the film industry if you ask me.
One little criticism here... If you think you're being stalked, why in the world would you go into the woods? It's the perfect spot to be attacker since nobody is around to see (or try to save) you. Just a little bit of common sense- based insight.
Is there a reason he should at the time, be afraid to tie his shoe just because someone is standing in the middle of a field? Sheesh, if your that afraid you'd never leave the house.
@@JoJo-fm4tk if you see a man standing in the middle of a field just staring at you, you will be scared and you'd be an idiot if you let your guard down
This short was nicely done, I'm fairly certain little or no budget was afforded for this, which makes me consider previous comments comparing it to the Blair Witch Project, which did have a budget hilarious. Sure, there were a couple instances of obvious filming methods that perhaps felt a little intentional and could possibly take the viewer out of the suspension of disbelief momentarily because it may not have felt natural within the rest of the film. At any rate, it doesn't matter what minor flaws I spotted, the fact that it was a student film, with probably no production crew other than yourself, as mentioned in the description, makes the short all the more respectable. I personally thought it was amazing!
I actually asked myself ' who tf puts a question mark in google?' I only do it if im really drunk and just wanna seem like im still normal even tho thats the exact opposite of normality
And where are his parents? Large taken care of estate, veritable Mansion to live in, this person has no job no car, all he does is go jogging? Totally unbelievable from the very get-go.
The scariest part of this movie was that the main character chose to use a pre-Windows10 Windows Phone. That choice will haunt a guy worse than slender man ever could.
It should have ended with a missing poster with his photo and name on it. That's what was foreshadowed, why show us all the missing posters if you weren't going to give us a payoff?
Thank you very much to every one for the great feedback! Really didn't expect this amount of views or comments so it really is appreciated! It's also really cool to see that some of you are actually feeling inspired by the film which is awesome! So thanks again and keep the love coming!
You did a great job with the cinematography. I also liked that you weren't reliant upon tension building music. It's far creepier to just have silence. Keep it up with your creative work!
For a student, good job on the cinematography...but, I have to say the descriptions of the Slender Man he was reading was funny, and I also chuckled when he got knocked clean out from bumping his head on a little rock. But, so much potential keep going...
You told your friend on the phone that you'd be right over. You knock yourself out. You're out so long that it becomes pitch black out. Your mate doesn't bother to go looking for you. Thats one SHIT friend...
Through the whole thing I was like bipolar because this was me : "Omg he's going to die" "No he won't he's a survivor" "HAHAHA You're dead" "Who trips over a tree stump when they're looking at it" "NOOOOOO! He died" "Stupid, that's why you shouldn't have gone through the woods"
Very slow burn towards a haunting climax. Well done.My only crit would be adding the Slenderman game noise and screen distortion while he was in the woods. It really doesn't fit as none of this was suppossedly on camera and took me out of the movie when it happened. Its fine in the computer scene of if it had happened to his phone or some other recording device but for that moment it doesn't work.
I feel that any short that is 'low-budget' and 'student' is going to open itself up to a level of ridiculously harsh criticism, some people opting to close their minds to the cinematographic and directional talent on display. 15 minutes at this budget is an awful lot of work, a remarkable achievement in itself. The atmosphere achieved and sharp (subtle) edits were the high points for me. Oh, and I'd love to know how you managed that 'fluttering' focus effect on those blue-bells.
I greatly approve of this vid. It had me on the edge of my seat and it was amazing how accurate it depicted slender man. The FX in this video was great and this has become one of my favorite Short Films i've ever seen on youtube
I've watched a few of these kind of videos on TH-cam now. And have to say a lot are better than the mainstream horror movies. Independent films are also really good. They don't always focus on jumpscares. They focus on people's actual fears like maybe silence or darkness. So yeah. Really good
Many people are hating on this. Just remember: this is a *STUDENT* made film. It wasn't made by some top producer. If you consider who made this and the equipment available to them, it really was very well done. I loved it! :)
New video: th-cam.com/video/PyU-oJe2idU/w-d-xo.html A little different to say the least, it's a travel video of India haha! I do have some new horror plans in the works though, we should hopefully be filming a short horror series in 2017, so stay tuned!
Hey guys! If any one is interested, here is the link to the crowd funding page for a new upcoming film I am working on. We're looking to raise as much money as possible in order to make the film, so I would really appreciate it if you could take a minute to share around the link, or if you're feeling generous, maybe even donate a small amount ;) Every little helps! www.indiegogo.com/projects/fragments-a-short-noir-grad-film/x/12916906#/
listen.. it's our time to rise and make this world a better place. so of you put out a film that has a good message. I pray you live your life the same. day in day out. not clock work. but you clock in and you clock out. every day. till you change that one persons life.
Like many horror shorts, this one is too dark, has far too many landscape shots as filler, cuts to black multiple times, uses the camera and music cues to build false tension and ends with a scary face jump scare at the end. This one had Slenderman in it though.
rvdsm I often find that establishing shots are very effective in short films. What exactly do you mean by "false tension"? It's clear that the director used angles and music very well to create suspense. I think it dragged on a bit, but then again, we don't know what criteria he had to fit for the project.
+disturbed i think by false tension, he means creating tension that doesnt actually lead to anything. you know, the classic scary music building up to only an animal running across the screen scene. anyway, this is a great short film imo
First things first: I really liked the short. Good acting, nice style, hit the tonality of horror and the Slenderman looked great, but there are a also few things I didn't like. Some camera movements and cuts were not motivated and could have left out, your first AC needs a little bit more practice, but who doesn´t. What I got from the text the Slenderman is more a "psychological killer", getting you from peripheral sight. You should have played that more instead of putting him right in front of his victims face several times. That's it. Hope you keep up the good work and can understand my perspective.
Don't want to watch with the lights off; I live on my own! I watched to the end. But - Question one: He was walking by the backs of houses; where did they suddenly go? I was lulled into a false sense of security there!! Question Two: He is a jogger. Instead of walking at an extremely slow pace through the woods, why didn't he jog along the road to get to the station on time? At this point I wanted to shake some sense into him. Question Three: do people who don't smoke keep lighters in their pockets? Wait there's someone standing in my garden, no it can't be.....aaagh------------------
Every scream from one of his victims is a thread so he likes to scare people to get the most awesome suit ever...BTW if he had a mom she would have grounded him already
Awesome!!! Yeah everyone's hating on the face because they can see a nose poking through the white stockings but they can suck it. If you apply a little post fx on the face make it vibrate when he is in view it will keep the trolls happy.
For once someone in a horror film has the sense to run when he sees something scary! That doesn't just stand there and wait to be killed. Very well done!!!
Very nice work! Loved the camera angles, quality, editing. Wasn't scary however :p A good scary movie needs time to build up suspense and a story line, but i greatly respect your work.
I am a musician and an audio engineer I must say bravo you sound was great I do suggest though that because TH-cam cannot encode a surround DSP next time you should use the advantages of phase to make the ambient tracks more Omni directional and on those spots where you really want to send chills add in a 18.9hz sine wave it will work wonders for the fear factor of your short film ;)
I could see this being a really awesome film kinda like "The Woman in Black". Just being about how Slenderman keeps haunting this kid and popping up in unexpected places driving him insane to the point he starts losing touch with reality building up to this ending of the boy in the woods. Get the copy rights I wanna see you do it.
Very creepy and unsettling-in a good way! Camera shots were on a professional level and special effects were great. The locations were mesmerizing, both beautiful and creepy at the same time. Our protagonist finding out that Slender Man drives people insane, then noticing him in all those photographs, was very disturbing. But the best part was that it all seemed so convincing and realistic. Keep up the good work.
This is definitely one of if not the best Slender films online. So many have tried but this was haunting. So I collected all eight pages before leaving this comment.
What I like about this is that it simple, no jump scares, actually builds up the tension for fear instead of using cheap jump scares, seems pretty realistic in how someone would act in a situation like this instead of saying "hello" when hearing a noise. There was no falling over air. I like how the visual aesthetics told the story rather than dialogue, Also it was simple. The music and vibe was calm but yet somehow made it more scary. It focuses more on the plot rather than 30 minutes of nonsense. Also it's student film which is great
i had to walk through an entire forest once with my two younger brothers and my nana. i told my brothers about Slenderman and one of them got scared, then i got moaned at by my nana. so i had to apologise to my brother (and tell him Slenderman was not real) and i carried him through the rest of the forest but i kept looking behind me just to make sure i wasn't being followed by Slenderman...
Slender man is real. My cousin went to a mental ward for three years, because he claimed he was being stalked. Every one brushed it off as if he was asking for attention he didn't get as a child, by making himself seem important and helpless. He got out under supervision. He was still very obsessed with his stalker. I went into a detailed conversation with him about it once. It was horrifying. He disappeared 4 years ago. The part I don't understand is that he never left his home for fear of being taken. Then one day he just up and leaves??? You would have to know him on a personal level to know what really happened to him. There is no evidence to say he was even actually living in his house? Food had been rotten for months before he was reported taken, but he was visited by his care takers daily. It does not make any sense, I feel like he had slipped into a tear in time or something. He just, does not exist any more. He is fading, my mother did not even know who he was the last time I spoke about him. I brought him up today though and she remembered who he was but, DID NOT KNOW HE WAS MISSING?????!!!! I am starting to think I am crazy now...
The cinematography, the jump scares along with the concept are so well done!! I absolutely loved it. Kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through. Definitely in my top 10 of best short films!
Okay, I think this was a great short film! However, as a viewer and a person who has had an interest in Slenderman for many years I have some constructive criticism and faults with the video. Probably the thing that is nagging at me the most is the fact that when this kid was searching for Slenderman on Google a site clearly stated that he tortures his victims until they kill themselves in the article he was reading. However a few Missing posters can be clearly shown throughout the video, making me wonder if you realised that or just put in the posters for dramatic effect. Also, does this guy live alone or something? It makes me wonder. And the last thing I'll tell you (which you're probably relieved to know, I do tend to drag on a bit) is that I feel as if this is just a bit too unrealistic in the protagonist's actions. He trips and falls and BOOM, out like a light when what would actually happen is he would be terrified, get back up and leg the hell out of there unharmed. And when he does wake up, instead of being a normal person and calling someone to pick him up in the mysterious woods in the nighttime, he uses flash to search for this creature he's only seen twice. And the people he's supposed to meet up with? The fuck is going on with them? The friend, who clearly heard that he was going through the woods, where MULTIPLE KIDS WENT MISSING, didn't show up at all for several hours. What the hell, dude? Friendship goals, honestly. Sorry, but those are just some things I picked up. All in all though, pretty impressive photography and acting. Well done!
+Alyssa Ryan It seemed to me that this guy is a student, and might be living in an student apartment. I also felt the same about the ending. Let's say, he fell and passed out. His friends or whoever he was supposed to meet, should have been called him or would have come looking for him. Moreover, after he woke up, his instant instinct would have been to call someone for help. But, then, I thought, he was trying to get back home, it didn't really seem like to me that he was looking for Slenderman. He definitely looked scared, and was trying to find his way back home.
Really, really loved this! Excellent job on making me feel alone in the woods at night. Almost alone. I think it was good, too, that the viewer saw things that the victim didn't: flashes of the white face, even the missing poster. It enhanced the feeling of his danger. And thank you for leaving the ending just like this. Not too much nor too little. This is great!
It's not perfect, but you did it and it made me jump a few times! Most people do a lot worse with more money. Hire a good editor in the future and you're on to something!
Joking aside, I resolute to follow the channel. It’s only a few horror but with HQ, well-executed, good lines, good acting... I’m very impressed especially coz it gives the impression of being a independent channel. Well-done. It’s a slender man theme but you guys titled “ victim”..., very uncommon and absorbing
just wondering, did you film during night or day during the night scenes? i'm an unexperienced media student myself and would mean a lot if you gave me some tips on how to make it look good during night like you've done. Btw, you made me literally squeal.
Alex Nikolai I filmed the last scene in the woods late at night so it was actually pitch black. I just attached a pretty bright LED light to my camera, and then darkened it slightly in post so it wasn't that obvious that I was using a light. And the scene when he's asleep and sees Slender Man at the end of his bed was filmed during the day - I added a blue tint and altered the brightness/contrast to give it a night time look. Hope this helps! :)
wow, thank you so much! this helped a lot :) you're a really incredible filmmaker and i wish you heaps of luck in making more films in the future :)) i bet they'll be even more awesome than this one.
Brilliant job! It can’t be easy making a short film, and you clearly put effort and thought into this! I remember watching this when it came out and it scared the shit out of me!

EH, do you really think so?
Ian Legend yeah, the directing in the newest conjuring movie was top notch. that whole sequence with the crooked man was master class. plus lights out was great too. James Wan id doing a great job in horror movies at the moment.
this was made exactly like 90% of mediocre horror films these days.
Karly Berning it's not scary at all and I LOVE horror movies !!

I know this was 5 years ago but I have to say. "You obviously aren't familiar with horror cinema."
In the guys defense, everyone in horror movies are stupid, so they probably would go into the woods
So you see a person standing there in the middle of a field and you tie your shoe wow. Genius!
Every person on earth knows what the slander man looks like
This kid is a little on the dumb side lol

If Slenderman wants to stalk his victims and slowly make them crazy, why would he move in for the kill so soon??
He's slenderman
Bad idea to watch this at 3 am with earbubs in
haha
especially on the last part
Oh yeah thats the part that made me jump
Haha :D
Lol!! Poor people who wore ear buds. (Slender has killed their ears....)
Nigga done tapped his head on a rock and woke up 6 hours later
omg best comment ever XD
I was looking for this comment
That was the tiniest lil rock to knock someone out eva. I don't want to bash the kid who made this...but I was really disappointed.
Then you obviously know nothing that tiniest little rock can take someone's life.
Ever heard of David and Goliath?
You told your friend on the phone that you'd be right over. You knock yourself out. You're out so long that it becomes pitch black out. Your mate doesn't bother to go looking for you. Thats one SHIT friend...

I'm making my own Slenderman film this coming February, love the filming it's great.
I would never be taking "a shortcut through the woods" if I thought I was being stalked by slender man.

This could and should be so much more than just a short film on TH-cam. This would be a really amazing movie, I'd definitely go see in theaters.
Notice all the different "MISSING" posters up on a pole every where? SOON his will be up on a pole too!!!

Every scream from one of his victims is a thread so he likes to scare people to get the most awesome suit ever...BTW if he had a mom she would have grounded him already
Men's Warehouse. He's gonna like the way he looks, I guarantee it
That was very well done! Excellent job!
And it is also a good example why taking a "shortcut" through the woods is never a good idea!!!
oh,yeah,he has a phone and instead to call someone uses as light.nice.
Fantastic cinematography.
This film was better than some of the other Slenderman short films I've seen.
Awesome!!! Yeah everyone's hating on the face because they can see a nose poking through the white stockings but they can suck it. If you apply a little post fx on the face make it vibrate when he is in view it will keep the trolls happy.
if this would play in theaters i'd for sure buy a ticket to see it again. this deserves far more attention. great job.
Short and sweet
Not gonna lie, my neighbors called the cops because I screamed really loud at the end... oops. great job on the film!
Bree F yea not bs at all..
Great job on the sound editing!👍
I would stay to remark on the cinematography and tremendous scares of this video, but I have to go and change underwear first.
For once someone in a horror film has the sense to run when he sees something scary! That doesn't just stand there and wait to be killed.
Very well done!!!
A little bit slow for my liking but i love how you recreat the game. Great job. I´d like to watch much more of your work.
This video made me not sleep for days
Very nice work! Loved the camera angles, quality, editing. Wasn't scary however :p A good scary movie needs time to build up suspense and a story line, but i greatly respect your work.
Wow the quality is amazing!
Put together another little no budget horror film! Check it out here! th-cam.com/video/pgtKSLUBfbY/w-d-xo.html
Eddie Adamson I reposted it on Google+.... Thanks for the jump scares I needed that
Héi slendremn you or monstre yes no
Eddie Adamson Love the new short film! Scarily awesome. Thank you!
can you do a horror film without blood and guts thank you paranormal movie
Awesome video
I am a musician and an audio engineer I must say bravo you sound was great I do suggest though that because TH-cam cannot encode a surround DSP next time you should use the advantages of phase to make the ambient tracks more Omni directional and on those spots where you really want to send chills add in a 18.9hz sine wave it will work wonders for the fear factor of your short film ;)
I could see this being a really awesome film kinda like "The Woman in Black". Just being about how Slenderman keeps haunting this kid and popping up in unexpected places driving him insane to the point he starts losing touch with reality building up to this ending of the boy in the woods.
Get the copy rights I wanna see you do it.
Very creepy and unsettling-in a good way! Camera shots were on a professional level and special effects were great. The locations were mesmerizing, both beautiful and creepy at the same time. Our protagonist finding out that Slender Man drives people insane, then noticing him in all those photographs, was very disturbing. But the best part was that it all seemed so convincing and realistic. Keep up the good work.
Love this
It's aswsome
He should should make another part
I wish I could get this 10000000000000 likes or more but I can only get him 1 :(
This is definitely one of if not the best Slender films online. So many have tried but this was haunting. So I collected all eight pages before leaving this comment.
YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO DRINK WATER BEFORE RUNNING YOU GET CRAMPS QQ

oh yea, i make real cash from roblox, who does't want that? :)
lol
Hahaha 😭😭🤷🏽♀️
Obvious you have no life 🤷♂️
This is great, really loved the opening camera shots and the mist. The whole movie creates suspense from the beginning :) Kudos to you guys!
0:00 - 3:20 HYDRATION- Student Award Winning Short Horror Film
What I like about this is that it simple, no jump scares, actually builds up the tension for fear instead of using cheap jump scares, seems pretty realistic in how someone would act in a situation like this instead of saying "hello" when hearing a noise. There was no falling over air. I like how the visual aesthetics told the story rather than dialogue, Also it was simple. The music and vibe was calm but yet somehow made it more scary. It focuses more on the plot rather than 30 minutes of nonsense. Also it's student film which is great
So i live near a forest and the only way to go to school,shop etc. is to go through that forest,i cant go around it.... should i be worried ?! O_O
Yes, very.
watch out for angry squirrels
i had to walk through an entire forest once with my two younger brothers and my nana. i told my brothers about Slenderman and one of them got scared, then i got moaned at by my nana. so i had to apologise to my brother (and tell him Slenderman was not real) and i carried him through the rest of the forest but i kept looking behind me just to make sure i wasn't being followed by Slenderman...
Slender man is real. My cousin went to a mental ward for three years, because he claimed he was being stalked. Every one brushed it off as if he was asking for attention he didn't get as a child, by making himself seem important and helpless. He got out under supervision. He was still very obsessed with his stalker. I went into a detailed conversation with him about it once. It was horrifying. He disappeared 4 years ago. The part I don't understand is that he never left his home for fear of being taken. Then one day he just up and leaves??? You would have to know him on a personal level to know what really happened to him. There is no evidence to say he was even actually living in his house? Food had been rotten for months before he was reported taken, but he was visited by his care takers daily. It does not make any sense, I feel like he had slipped into a tear in time or something. He just, does not exist any more. He is fading, my mother did not even know who he was the last time I spoke about him. I brought him up today though and she remembered who he was but, DID NOT KNOW HE WAS MISSING?????!!!! I am starting to think I am crazy now...
Try living behind a heavily forested camp and then get back to me. I'm mortified as if it's not scary enough at night.
The cinematography, the jump scares along with the concept are so well done!! I absolutely loved it. Kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through. Definitely in my top 10 of best short films!
My daughter loves "slender man"! ty 4 making this movie !
you are very talented! I especially liked it when the camera is following the actor and slenders face pans past us! great job
Okay, I think this was a great short film! However, as a viewer and a person who has had an interest in Slenderman for many years I have some constructive criticism and faults with the video. Probably the thing that is nagging at me the most is the fact that when this kid was searching for Slenderman on Google a site clearly stated that he tortures his victims until they kill themselves in the article he was reading. However a few Missing posters can be clearly shown throughout the video, making me wonder if you realised that or just put in the posters for dramatic effect. Also, does this guy live alone or something? It makes me wonder. And the last thing I'll tell you (which you're probably relieved to know, I do tend to drag on a bit) is that I feel as if this is just a bit too unrealistic in the protagonist's actions. He trips and falls and BOOM, out like a light when what would actually happen is he would be terrified, get back up and leg the hell out of there unharmed. And when he does wake up, instead of being a normal person and calling someone to pick him up in the mysterious woods in the nighttime, he uses flash to search for this creature he's only seen twice. And the people he's supposed to meet up with? The fuck is going on with them? The friend, who clearly heard that he was going through the woods, where MULTIPLE KIDS WENT MISSING, didn't show up at all for several hours. What the hell, dude? Friendship goals, honestly. Sorry, but those are just some things I picked up. All in all though, pretty impressive photography and acting. Well done!
The building where he lives looks very
much like a college dormitory in the UK. I think he is meant to be a student.
+Alyssa Ryan It seemed to me that this guy is a student, and might be living in an student apartment.
I also felt the same about the ending. Let's say, he fell and passed out. His friends or whoever he was supposed to meet, should have been called him or would have come looking for him. Moreover, after he woke up, his instant instinct would have been to call someone for help. But, then, I thought, he was trying to get back home, it didn't really seem like to me that he was looking for Slenderman. He definitely looked scared, and was trying to find his way back home.
+Susan Evalyn. He is
ppm eh
+Alyssa Ryan I too was wondering why his friend didn't at least call after noticing he did not show up. But, he's a student he's learning.
Really, really loved this! Excellent job on making me feel alone in the woods at night. Almost alone. I think it was good, too, that the viewer saw things that the victim didn't: flashes of the white face, even the missing poster. It enhanced the feeling of his danger. And thank you for leaving the ending just like this. Not too much nor too little. This is great!
Great film! One thing I would have done is had that conversation via text. It's the only dialogue and it pulled me out of the story momentarily.
Eddie, this was a superb movie, quite powerful and practically without any dialogues... Amazing!!
It's not perfect, but you did it and it made me jump a few times! Most people do a lot worse with more money. Hire a good editor in the future and you're on to something!
Joking aside, I resolute to follow the channel. It’s only a few horror but with HQ, well-executed, good lines, good acting... I’m very impressed especially coz it gives the impression of being a independent channel. Well-done.
It’s a slender man theme but you guys titled “ victim”..., very uncommon and absorbing
just wondering, did you film during night or day during the night scenes? i'm an unexperienced media student myself and would mean a lot if you gave me some tips on how to make it look good during night like you've done. Btw, you made me literally squeal.
Alex Nikolai I filmed the last scene in the woods late at night so it was actually pitch black. I just attached a pretty bright LED light to my camera, and then darkened it slightly in post so it wasn't that obvious that I was using a light. And the scene when he's asleep and sees Slender Man at the end of his bed was filmed during the day - I added a blue tint and altered the brightness/contrast to give it a night time look. Hope this helps! :)
wow, thank you so much! this helped a lot :) you're a really incredible filmmaker and i wish you heaps of luck in making more films in the future :)) i bet they'll be even more awesome than this one.
Brilliant job! It can’t be easy making a short film, and you clearly put effort and thought into this! I remember watching this when it came out and it scared the shit out of me!
This is pretty good. I actually liked it (even though i dont like horror films or short ones) id give a couple of points to this one.
Great video! Very well-executed too, I loved all of the shots you used.
Now that I saw this film does that mean slender man is going to stalk me now?
Great short film! Really nice quality, and brings the horror of the Slenderman back to life. Nice work!
Nicely filmed, not easy to film in the middle of the dark. You could have use better photography, but it's alright.
When I get home from seeing that guy, I am getting My Nerf Arsenal Out
