Hey, I'm the writer/director of Play Me and would love to answer any questions you have. A few years ago I released Other Side of the Box on ALTER. So happy to be back! If you want to keep up to date with what I'm doing next, I just started a newsletter. Link on channel and IG bio!
Am I stupid? Because I don’t get it at all. Why did he say she was a good person because she closed the window? And what switcharoo? I’m so dumb and confused 😂
I honestly love the satisfying yet unsatisfying ending. She still completed her task but she’ll never know the context of why she had to even be there in the first place.
The actress really sold how conflicted she was in a short time. And she has this sort of natural gravitas, that makes it very believable that she could be a special agent.
The psychology behind this short was absolutely stunning. Loved every minutes of it. Oh my. What a great story with only two people. The lights, the camera angles... all was truly mesmerising.
@@ktpictures95all u guys involved did an amazing job... as for the actress I hope to see more from her in the future I can see her doing big projects. Anyways wish u guys all the best & much ❤ to u all!!
I think this is probably the best horror short I've seen in some time: no profanity, no sexual content, just horror. And it felt real, even with the very subtle supernatural elements. Well done.
Nah, the one with the 3 guys going camping and talking about ghost stories. The short is called we’re not safe here. No this one is pretty good with the total recall situation.
i love how in the beginning i was convinced that the recording was legit and she really was in a life or death situation and that the “person” in the back seat was dangerous…. but as soon as she killed him, an inkling of doubt started to creep up on me… and then were left with no confirmation that the initial belief was true… amazing film! mindfuck for sure
I kept thinking she really was in danger ,and that the 'brother' was some imposter or something trying to hurt her. But i'm wondering now if it was true or not , was she losing her mind, was he really her brother.
Yep, unless a human can magically flip handcuffs from behind their back to in front of them to strangle someone... but also could be a dream, because when outside with the hammer, the claw position gets reversed
I was really worried she would end up being mentally ill. It would have been such a snooze of an ending. This one was so much better, especially her breaking the recorder so she doesn't even know why she did it.
One of my favorites things about this is the ending. It implies so much. If we’re privy to just a little of what she no longer knows, how much more is there that we don’t know about this entity? I feel like the best kind of horror leaves you with disturbing sense that you can’t know everything about the threat
This short film is amazing! It's well directed, the lighting is perfect, the score is excellent and the story is fascinating! I would love to see more of this.
This was fantastic! I wanted it to be longer to be honest. It was a great story, the acting was awesome, and the suspense was amazing. This is one of the best ones I’ve seen.
Well he clearly wasn't her brother, given the way he taunted her in the darkness, forced her to look at his face and when she did, she lost her memory. Presumably when he died, his power went which mean she could look at his face without losing her memory again, but now she's lost in the woods with no idea how she got there and a dead alien!
She lost her memory after killing the hooded man, then stepped on her recording device. So she knows that she killed a "person", but she doesn't know why. I don't think it lost it's ability to make her lose her memory after it died.
Yep, unless a human can magically flip handcuffs from behind their back to in front of them to strangle someone... but also could be a dream, because when outside with the hammer, the claw position gets reversed
I questioned if she did have a mental episode, much like dementia patients, where once they see or feel or smell something familiar they're triggered out of their episode and back to reality. Makes me wonder. But the handcuff thing, made me think, then again, given time could someone figure it out? Lots of questions.
What scared me the most about this….is that it reminded me of my dad who has early rapid onset dementia and he forgets everything who everyone is and completely misremembers events. At first it was just putting his clothes on backwards or putting the milk on top of the refrigerator instead of in it, and throwing crab leg shells on the floor instead of on his plate at the seafood restaurant….but now he is in a more dangerous phase the last 8 months. We have to be with him at all times because he has gone to the restroom at the doctors office and when he is finished he will just walk out the door and leave whomever drove him there wondering where he went. We have had to call the police to help look for him several times and he doesn’t cooperate with them. For example if you hand him something, 45 minutes later he will just go into a rage and accuse the person of throwing it at him or hitting him with it instead and will want to fight. He is only in his late 50s so he has strength and isn’t frail like most dementia patients. Mom got rid of his guns and has locked up the knives and hides the keys. He will be doing fine all day and we will go somewhere and out of nowhere he will freak out and not know who I am and thinks he is being kidnapped or something and call the police or get out of the car and start running. Sometimes he does remember who we are but he will be convinced that we are the evil imposter of ourselves and will freak out and make us prove we aren’t. The last three years of his life has been a horror movie for him and it is too much for my mom but she doesn’t want to put him in a facility as he has never been violent with her. It breaks mine and my brothers hearts watching it but it scared the hell out of us that he will one day hurt someone or my mom thinking they mean him harm. He had an in home care aid that used to come and help my mom but she quit after she came in the door one day and my dad started screaming at her to get the hell out of his house because he didn’t know who she was and thought she just walked in off the street to steal. I keep begging my mom to do something before it’s too late and he hurts someone but she is stubborn and believes that he will never forget who she is.
Thanks Caleb. Very good ! So you're the guy who made The Other Side Of The Box. That was suspenseful and terrifying. This film is somewhat different, but still well executed. I hope you're making good money from these little productions. People will pay to see a selection of short films like this one. All the best !
This was really great, I prefer this to any gorey/overly built up shorts. This wasted no time, straight to the point with an appropriate length. Great work!
I love Caleb’s films. He’s complex, concise, and every second is always so intense. Just mind blowing writing. I can’t believe this was only 10 minutes.
Great short!! Also I have to say the comments in alter's horror shorts are so interesting to read! There's a huge contrast between comments here and comments on IG or tik tok, where people just want things explained to them. Over here people give their theories and they have such cool reflections. So refreshing to read, I must say.
I love the lore of looking at it and losing your memory and needing a pen to write stuff, it’s so much like The Silence from Dr. Who and I’m digging it 🔥✨♥️
I loved this short film!! I was trying to imagine myself in this situation and the doubt that would creep in. It would be hard not to be confused and think that maybe you're crazy. Maybe he is her brother. Or maybe he's not. The whole time I went back and forth with conflicting thoughts. So good!!!
This was really good! Except for one thing: Her initial reaction to waking up with no memory in a car with a mysterious man in the seat behind her was wholly unbelievable to me. Same with her reaction to the "play me" message, she just took it all as though it was only slightly off the norm.
Hm... maybe, just maybe... even if you have no conscientious memory your training, basic instincts and personality still there. In the heat they will kick in. An aggressive person with no memory stills, as basic behavior, aggressive... A soft one too.
I'm not sure about personality, because that revolves around experiences and lessons, none of which she even remembers but I was definitely expecting some more reactions out of her as to why there's a tied up person in her car, that's frightening!
The perfect horror short honestly. Such a satisfying ending aswell, leaving it open but still satisfying. Cant wait to see more from the director in the future hopefully
@@therealJamieJoy Uhh... i guess, but massive coincidence that it triggered right when she looked at his face. Also there was also the rather sinister actions of her passenger.
I've seen A LOT of these TH-cam horror shorts, and the amount I've actually enjoyed all the way I can count on one hand. This one here, this is perfect. This might be my new favorite. amazing work
other side of the box was a great film but this one is beyond amazing, i’m a sucker for physiological thrillers. you can truly see how this director improved and i can’t wait to see more amazing films by them!
in life, we often need a sense of confirmation to tell us whether or not what we are doing is the thing we should be doing. But most days, all the confirmation you get is a broken tape recorder
I was searching a lot to find that one person who would realize this and point it out (there aren´t many of us). I thought I´m crazy for a moment. She literally said "Control agent Elizabeth Armstrong." That is like it was straight up taken from that world into the point where I would argue it could easily be part of it. The way recording informed her, the way she operated throughout the movie.I wonder whether it is just a coincidence or they took an inspiration from the game.
This was great, such a tense atmosphere! I was almost expecting it to actually be her brother and that maybe she was delusional but I loved this ending so so much more 👏🏻
@@leonadrian7257 I really doubt it... I don't think there's ever been a case of somebody reliably losing their memory every time they look at a particular person's face. Not only that, why did they guy let go of her so he can toy with her now that he thought she was helpless? If he were really worried about her, I think he'd want to properly restrain her and get her help.
I loooveedd this! I need a full length film just like I need a full length Other Side of the Box! Im not sure y u dont have more films out but I’ll definitely be waiting!
This whole scenario reminded me of the final scene of They Look Like People. I feel like it was an inspiration for this. Anyway, good movie. Not nearly as good as Other Side of the Box, but that one was amazing so the bar was very high. I hope you keep making more videos!
From a girl's point of view, the guy playing her brother or demon had a really nice deep voice. So mesmerising. Great movie too. Acting was good and suspenseful. Very much liked 😆
Spoilers - - - - Even though it seems that what was on the tape was true and his face did make her forget everything, I like that there’s just enough ambiguity left to make you wonder if he was telling the truth.
@@Oscarlopez12456how could yall possibly think he was telling the truth if he started running around like a serial killer, unless that was her hallucinations
I personally think she’s psycho and her condition is making her think her brother is evil. Mental health is scary. It’s terrifying what the mind will convince you.
How did the cuffs go from behind his back to in front of him, an dhow did her hammer head reverse - had to be a dream or an alien, no human can make cuffs do that
Question… does she lose her memory AGAIN after swinging the hammer into the neck of said person/creature? She stares into its eyes again when she swings, stands up in confusion to look at the hammer. So I’m assuming so. Meaning it’s more likely this is a creature of some kind if it’s able to erase her memory twice in mere seconds.

Too freaking good❤🎉
This was great I love cliffhangers but is this left to our imagination or ……. Or don’t tell me and let it haunt me anyway I loved it
The Alter people claim an whole movie !! 🙌🏼🤩
As soon as he said , cuz you closed the window , that shit was spine chilling
I had a feeling when he asked for it down he was planning the ole switcharoo
Am I stupid? Because I don’t get it at all. Why did he say she was a good person because she closed the window? And what switcharoo? I’m so dumb and confused 😂
@@JodyJuice he squeezed in the corner of his bag in between the window and when she closed it, the windows pinched it so he could take the bag off
@@kacperk2201maybe u are him...how do u know this...pipo ruuuuuuuuuun😂😂
@@JodyJuice he said it was cold. being empathetic she closed the window. this allowed him to get the hood off.

The actress really sold how conflicted she was in a short time. And she has this sort of natural gravitas, that makes it very believable that she could be a special agent.
Yeah I agree totally she could be
The absolute horror of not knowing why you just killed a man, absolutely love that ending
it isnt a man. it isnt human
@@deathandrebirth-y8x She don't know that anymore.
Hate that this was the comment under the video when I started watching it.
@@dinahbelmont1969Fr spoiled it
This is what short horror movies supposed to be: Straight to the point, no long build up, suspenseful, disturbing.
That’s exactly what I wanted to make. Thank you!
Been a while since someone did it right.
You’re not a fan of slow burns?
Some stories require build up..they can't be told straight and quickly.
@@cannanprasad783 yeah but alot of them be whack
felt so sad when she stepped in the recorder after losing her memory. so intense, so creative
The psychology behind this short was absolutely stunning. Loved every minutes of it. Oh my. What a great story with only two people. The lights, the camera angles... all was truly mesmerising.
Glad you liked it!
@@mr.phillipsHollywood, hire Mr Phillips immediately.
the glazing is crazy wallah
I think the scariest thing about this is that it wiped her memory already, and was probably playing with its food at this point
What do you mean?
@@Rose-kd8yb the short started while she had no memory. So, assuming it really was a monster, it was fucking with her already
U didn't get it at all
@@terzinjo024 shes mentally ill, right?
@@terzinjo024 explain then
The way I immediately thought he could use the window to pinch the sack and then quickly thought after that "Nah that won't happen"
😂 I thought the same thing
S A M E !! 😅
I was kinda hoping that "thing" acted more with not being able to breathe, wouldn't have seen that coming if "it" did hahaha

Honored to have worked on this awesome short!
Were you the actress? If so great job. The production team is equally talented!
@@TheDweeb002 No, but she was fantastic! We helped with the editing and overall post-production process.

this was very unsettling to watch, the atmosphere and the uncertainty of trusting her memory.. Love it
Never have i been more satisfied with a short horror movie ending
Same. Omg this might be my favorite horror short ever.
satisfied is a crazy use of word my guy

If i ever was in a situation like this, i really dont know what to do. That fim got goosebumps all over my body. Great work ALTER!
You would know what not to do when you notice that your service weapon is a hammer and your car doesn’t work.

The first questions I would’ve asked are “what’s my condition”, “when was I diagnosed”, and “what medications do I take”
That was good. Love it when its not just the narrator you can't trust, but the whole premise.

This whole scenario reminded me of the final scene of They Look Like People. I feel like it was an inspiration for this.
Anyway, good movie. Not nearly as good as Other Side of the Box, but that one was amazing so the bar was very high.
I hope you keep making more videos!
seems like an Scp of some kind! Great film! feels very professional.
Bravo...real scary short film, thanks!💯👍👀!
From a girl's point of view, the guy playing her brother or demon had a really nice deep voice. So mesmerising.
Great movie too. Acting was good and suspenseful. Very much liked 😆
Best short psychological thriller I’ve ever seen ever
Incredible! I was on edge the whole time
Loved the music, it made everything so tense!

Even though it seems that what was on the tape was true and his face did make her forget everything, I like that there’s just enough ambiguity left to make you wonder if he was telling the truth.
That’s what I was thinking as well like was he telling the truth?
@@Oscarlopez12456👂👂5:01 was the early dead giveaway
@@Oscarlopez12456how could yall possibly think he was telling the truth if he started running around like a serial killer, unless that was her hallucinations
@@Oscarlopez12456he literally started choking her with his handcuffs ☠️
I was COMPLETELY absorbed into this!!!!
This is EXCELLENT. Real tension. Character-building (to the extent needed) within two minutes. Sign me up.
this short film evoked a visceral feeling in me that any regular horror movie has yet to do.
Hey all Alter fans 🙋♀️

Hello
Hi There!!! 🤗
This was a really good short movie!!!! I was stuck watching it!!! Good actors and crazy story line! Need a part 2
Asap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I Have so many questions. I need a prequel.
This was great, the type of short I wish could go on longer! I really liked the actress too ,she was very good.
I personally think she’s psycho and her condition is making her think her brother is evil. Mental health is scary. It’s terrifying what the mind will convince you.
Okay but why do she forget about everything when she looks at his face
If he was a fake he might get the crown of king of gaslighting
How did the cuffs go from behind his back to in front of him, an dhow did her hammer head reverse - had to be a dream or an alien, no human can make cuffs do that
@@PauTorres-z6w I'm pretty sure I've seen people do that with cuffs before
Possible but very unlikely, also how does the hammer head reverse in one split second when she is outside?@@theperfectbeing765
This director is amazing man
Question… does she lose her memory AGAIN after swinging the hammer into the neck of said person/creature? She stares into its eyes again when she swings, stands up in confusion to look at the hammer. So I’m assuming so. Meaning it’s more likely this is a creature of some kind if it’s able to erase her memory twice in mere seconds.
OMG I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT
Yes
This was great short, especially bgm, 👏 highway, broken car, and darkness is great combination of any short horror movie
This is really well done. I love when the viewer is left to wonder if what's happening is true or a delusion of a character.
Other Side of the Box was incredible! Thank you for another great short film, they just get better and better. Hope to see more soon.
