This is the second film to be featured on ALTER from the incredibly talented Ashlea Wessel. The first was INK, which you can watch here: th-cam.com/video/vL6yiZiNiHw/w-d-xo.html
hope this comment gets more recognition. Im so sorry you had to go through that. I have aspergers and start to panic with strobe lights and the high pitch noises but I risk watching Horror anyway because I love it too much :')
I assume *"tick"* or tweaking is the reaction Vampires have when they aren't feeding or getting enough blood to quench their thirst. So humans nicknamed them *"tick"* kinda like how modern zombies are called *Walkers.* If thats the case it gives us a deeper insight on the desperate need vampires need to feed. Even the bliss they may experience once it is quenched.
It kinda does. For vampires, whatever the exact mythology, the need for blood is always paramount to humans needing food or water. When we don't get enough food or water, our bodies start to turn against themselves, wasting away or spasming uncontrollably. It's the same for them - they just have the luck to be similar to a bloodsucking creature with an unfortunately appropriate name
I think they had handcuffed her or maybe I was seeing things? But yeah they got too cocky because they thought that UV torch light thing would be enough
@@humbertojimmy She was a kid alright. Vampires stop aging once they reach adulthood maturity. Thats why some are like a thousand years old but only look like they're 20-30 yrs old. This kid was simply taught survival skills, and to prepare for possible hard times , such as whay went down in the movie. On a side note my parents taught me warfare and survival skills from the time I could walk. I was driving by 9 yrs of age lol.
I cannot believe the quality of this channel.. endless thanks ALTER for so many horror shorts of such a high standard.. and thanks to all the directors, actors and creators.. amazing work.
I loved the fact that when she took her hat off in the tent, it did not show her reflection in the mirror. I like that these types of short films are trusting the intelligence of the audience to make their own connections. Great film!!! Amazing channel.
That was awesome! I like how she sharpened her teeth instead of brushing them before she went to bed! I would like to see this as a full length film, so we could get the front of the story and the end too! I am an old lady, I cut my horror teeth on black and white Vampire movies as a kid when they were only on either at night or on Saturday afternoon monster movies. All of the new film makers coming up in the world today gives me great hope for new ideas into some of the oldest monsters. Can't wait to see your next film!!
Intense from almost the very start & just ramped up from there! Yep, there was a LOT of content smashed into this short movie, which would be my only "issue", just 'cause now I'd really like to see it more fleshed out (hehe) in a longer version. Also, keep the lead (Ava Close?), she was amazing! Once again Alter, you spoil us, thank you!
This story idea was fantastic! Would have loved more explanation into the ‘donations’ and what they do with the ticks and how they came to be. Could have watched a full version of this.
Loved this film, give that girl more work, she rocked that part. Loved the first "neck kill", slo/mo blood spurt done just right. Bravo, Ashlea Wessel.
Ok. That was cool how about a part two!! Since she sees her sister through visions maybe she’s still alive😳... She can go on a hunt to find her, part two she’s walks into diner trying to blend in but notice that most of their cups are filled with blood, as she begins to use her sense of smell she gets a vision of her sister hanging again with the blood lines hanging from her, as she looks around she notice the man that kidnapped her sister, so she begins to....... Can’t wait!!!!! ☺️😁
Read the description..it pretty much sums it up. But she is apparently the last in a family of vampires. They are trying to kidnap her to siphon her blood (healing properties) but she obviously has other plans.... 🧛♀️☻✌
Wow! Great flick! Didn't quite expect that! Little girl was bad ass! I realized she was filing her teeth not brushing them! Small details like that make Alter's films the best!!!
Really liked Tick !! Very good acting and direction. And creating a parasitic symbiotic relationship between humans and these human-like ticks was a master stroke and something I’ve never seen before. Would love to see more of this story !!
One of the best Alter films I've seen in awhile. Something about it was ..perfect. the jugular scene and sounds and his actions were soooooo real to me. Most people overact or die instantly or move around too much. The gargling and whimpering was sigh😌🤗...perfect.
Hella subtle hints at the beginning. The guy got stabbed with a Normal knife and was fine, the flashlight, “daytime clothes”, all kinds of stuff. 10/10 Vampire vibes.

I don't care if the little girl was a vampire. I would be tempted to protect her from those who wish to harm her, until she learns how to survive without my assistance.
Hi Alter, great video tody!! I really liked this as with the others I've seen!! you guys make some awesome videos, and keep them coming!!! have a great week everyone at Alter, see ya's soon!!!

Another AWESOME pick Alter! And I am not a big vampire fan! But this one was totally different! Where we are rooting for the typical "bad guy"! We are cheering the monster on! I knew when she lapped up that blood under the bed that this was not you average home invasion! Once again ALTER! You have ALTered my thinking! 😱✌ PS: I LOVED INK AS WELL! This is a woman to watch!
I wonder if "Tick" was meant to be a derogatory term. Cuz I mean the name is derived from "Ticks" as in the insects . . ? And ticks are innately parasitic/drink blood to survive... so instead of calling them by their politically correct term they use "Tick" as a racist connotation against them. . ? Eitherway u interpret it, it's genius. Alter does it again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 👏🏻💣🎭🎬📽⏯🍿🌹😈🖤
I guess you don't mess with Ticks was suppose to be how it was written.you guys at Altered are the best,I am so addicted to these movies. please don't ever stop cos they're better than any full length horror movie that's come out in years.
Oh please, can i have a whole movie with this story???? I'm totally addicted, such a great story, awesome girl, she acted very well. The red light was painfull, but even worse was the "tooth brushing", because it wasn't "tooth brushing"...my brain try to not think about it^^ I enjoy watching this and i really wish a full movie with this story....i love pandemic storys and vampires or something like this too. survival horror for a species^^ Great, thank you so much for this masterpiece!!!!
this movie was very well done I loved the whole thing, need a full movie of this & with same characters as well, this was just a great job well don't to everyone involved in this film!!!
Well, well! This was pretty amazing (LEAD actress was EXCELLENT 🤗) & "sucked" (lol 😘) me right in! However, it DOES need a "follow-up" /continuation as it left 'open' so many unanswered questions... MORE, PLEAAASSSSEEEEE!!?! 💗 (PS: I am assuming the twinkle lights run on batteries?? 😉)
This is the second film to be featured on ALTER from the incredibly talented Ashlea Wessel. The first was INK, which you can watch here: th-cam.com/video/vL6yiZiNiHw/w-d-xo.html
Thanks ALTER folks! So honoured to be included in your programming! 🙏 😊
@@ashleawessel thank you so much for being a part of the ALTERed family and letting us present two of your amazing films!
ALTER Hellllllo ALTER, Thanks for a new one.
@@ashleawessel You should be the next Stephen King.
This should be on the big screen.Fantastic job!!!
WARNING: RED STROBE LIGHTS BEGIN AT 7:13
It induced a seizure. I really hate when that happens..
hope this comment gets more recognition. Im so sorry you had to go through that. I have aspergers and start to panic with strobe lights and the high pitch noises but I risk watching Horror anyway because I love it too much :')
Yeah my head started twitching on that part. Definitely will induce seizures I had to skip it before it got worst.
@Genie B. Thank you 👼. I wish i had seen your warning prior. Im have epilepsy and i adverted my eyes but my head hurts real bad
Yeah I had skip those parts.
They're should put a warning like tv shows. I have epilepsy too
This could make a great movie with the right budget
No it wouldn't.
Someone asked about a full version and alter said the filmaker is working on a full movie version
@@The_Beast_666 and why not
no, the right actors could make it a great movie with a low budget
Yes
That was really badass. Would like to see a full version.
The filmmaker Ashlea Wessel is currently working on a feature film version!
@@WatchALTER awesome sauce!!! Can't wait to see a feature length version of this
I can’t wait for the full length- yes please!!!!!!!
Yes where's part 2, 3....etc..
ALTER ohhh my God's are you serious'! I love this, I'm so badly wanting more!
This has to be turned into a limited series or a feature length movie. Powerful storytelling, acting and directing. I want more.
LOVE the opener. Wasn't expecting THEM to be the vampires. Whole film was great and I'd love either a sequel or an expansion
I assume *"tick"* or tweaking is the reaction Vampires have when they aren't feeding or getting enough blood to quench their thirst.
So humans nicknamed them *"tick"* kinda like how modern zombies are called *Walkers.*
If thats the case it gives us a deeper insight on the desperate need vampires need to feed. Even the bliss they may experience once it is quenched.
This is a good potential interpretation of where the name "Tick" comes from.
Also, ticks drink blood and leach off of animals and humans.
Chrissy, that was my interpretation.
It kinda does. For vampires, whatever the exact mythology, the need for blood is always paramount to humans needing food or water. When we don't get enough food or water, our bodies start to turn against themselves, wasting away or spasming uncontrollably. It's the same for them - they just have the luck to be similar to a bloodsucking creature with an unfortunately appropriate name
I assumed it was because they were like ticks that latch onto you. But then I thought leech would be a better term?
They captured a vamp kid and didn’t restrain her? Guess they were amateurs... lol.
I think they had handcuffed her or maybe I was seeing things? But yeah they got too cocky because they thought that UV torch light thing would be enough
Not exactly a kid! Knowing how slowly vampires age, she could actually be older than any of those two. Hint: can a little kid drive a car?
@@humbertojimmy She was a kid alright. Vampires stop aging once they reach adulthood maturity. Thats why some are like a thousand years old but only look like they're 20-30 yrs old. This kid was simply taught survival skills, and to prepare for possible hard times , such as whay went down in the movie.
On a side note my parents taught me warfare and survival skills from the time I could walk. I was driving by 9 yrs of age lol.
Especially when the guy got close enough for her to attack smh...

definitely one of the best i have seen in a long time!!! wish it was a full length movie!!!
When a film can actually make you feel bad about a Tick.
jaja
*_T O K_*
@@misanthropicisolation4013 Ticks are no where near pedos so I don't see how that's relative

Thank you for watching and commenting! We're excited to see everyone liking the film.
And she lived HAPPILY EVER ALTER!!!!
lol
This is a true example of a horror film. Really enjoyed the vampire character. I think this short deserves a part 2.
This was really cool....would love to see the story fully fleshed out in a long version. Very atmospheric and dark...Bravo to all
This needs to be a full-length movie!
Oh...my...Lord! This is wicked good. And what a talented young lady. She will go far in this industry! Love this and all you do, ALTER!

You okay buddy?
Thanks! Now I dont to see it.
I didnt understand not none of what was going on but it was still fantastic

Micah Evans - and THAT is how Trump got elected!
@@robinright825 ROTFLMAO! THAT WAS BRILLIANT 👍
IKR, thank goodness for the comments section to explain it to us!
@@robinright825 Bahahahaha 😂
The child actress in this film is amazing. She was very believable in her role. Great short!!
Wow! Great flick! Didn't quite expect that! Little girl was bad ass! I realized she was filing her teeth not brushing them! Small details like that make Alter's films the best!!!
Bravo Alter! Your videos are awesome. Some more than others but this one has a refreshingly different take on vamps. ☠️💜
Thank you for watching! We think director Ashlea Wessel did an incredible job making the film subvert typical vampire storylines.
7:17 - 7:59 is so hard to watch ... the dim light is killing my eyes...
I give you poeple a A+ I just can't get over the quality of work
Really liked Tick !! Very good acting and direction. And creating a parasitic symbiotic relationship between humans and these human-like ticks was a master stroke and something I’ve never seen before.
Would love to see more of this story !!
Fantastic sound design!!!! Great work, everyone!
Girl: *doesn’t brush teeth*
Zombie: *smiles creepy* “now ur all fixed up*
Me: “this could be a great movie”.
.
Wasn't expecting to hear some swearing in Quebecois! A lot of interesting details throughout that kept me hooked until the end.
One of the best Alter films I've seen in awhile. Something about it was ..perfect. the jugular scene and sounds and his actions were soooooo real to me. Most people overact or die instantly or move around too much. The gargling and whimpering was sigh😌🤗...perfect.
Wow! What a twist! And calling vampires "ticks", very creative. I loved it!
Great film! The acting and cinematography makes me wish this were a full-length movie
That was cool!! Loved her,little survivor!!
Hella subtle hints at the beginning. The guy got stabbed with a Normal knife and was fine, the flashlight, “daytime clothes”, all kinds of stuff. 10/10 Vampire vibes.
Every time a corner turned, I was like
Hold up.....😁
I'll say it. Who captures or kidnaps a dangerous person and DOESN'T TIE THEM UP! Great acting, poor mechanics of story.
Would anyone else like an explanation of what happened?
Please

This short is FRIGGING AWESOME!!
I REALLY WANT A FULL LENGTH FEATURE FILM!! anyone else want a full movie!!??
This is just too awesome. Undescribable.
Kudos to the creators.....I wonder how this could be worked in to a remake of "30 days of Night"? This one made my evening!
Great watch thank you, Alter is a great platform for showcasing amazing short films.
I don't care if the little girl was a vampire. I would be tempted to protect her from those who wish to harm her, until she learns how to survive without my assistance.
I can't stop watching these, they are so addicting! And this one was so sad...
Wow!!! Loved it!! Yes a full version would be kinda cool...thanks again alter!! Good video!!!!💥💫🌟😀
I swear, the work that I see on ALTER is a million times better than anything I see in theatres!
Oh theyre vampires!!! Lol i was like wtf is goin on!!!
You need to have a flashing light warning when it goes on so long. Great acting in this short!
Perfect ! Simply perfect ! This was too good not to watch TWICE ! ❤️ ALTER ❤️
So...this was just the beginning of a full length feature...right??? Awesome!
that lil girl was like the girl from Logan...this was pretty dang good
Hi Alter, great video tody!! I really liked this as with the others I've seen!! you guys make some awesome videos, and keep them coming!!! have a great week everyone at Alter, see ya's soon!!!

this is awesome
i hope they make a full length film of this
Alter has the best horror short films!
I loved this one another great one thank you Alter
Amazing!!!! Part two!!! Pretty please with a tick on top?!?!

Nice to see a notification from you for new videos.
+Alter &Ashlea Wessek~ Brilliant the children actors were right on The story line and cinematography waa fantastic📽🎬⚠️ 🖤🖤
Well just goes to show that you need to leave some people alone!
the fact that these quarter long videos are better than hour long horror movies-
A really good one. Thank you all!
Oh please, can i have a whole movie with this story???? I'm totally addicted, such a great story, awesome girl, she acted very well.

I love when they trick u with who's bad or good. More!!!!
5:58 I'm out!!
Alter your videos are awesome man i really love them 😍♥️
That blood spurting out of his neck was awesome.I guess you don't need with Tics.
Love a female protagonist especially a very young one.
Excellent Alter !
this movie was very well done I loved the whole thing, need a full movie of this & with same characters as well, this was just a great job well don't to everyone involved in this film!!!
Wow.... that's escalated quickly.
Fun fact: "Kutu" in Indonesia means "flea" / "tick"
Yes plot. Yes actors. Yes music.
VERY GOOD HORROR FILM... ONE OF THE BEST. THIS FIM SHOULD BE IN CINEMA
Out of the 124 views y so little comments thats crazy this is hella good
1240 views
Overall very good. I didn't like the scene with the pulsing red light. Unnecessary pain to my eyes. But everything else, amazing
If we live in a world where she is the bad guy we give up any claim.to.a soul or righteousness we ever claimed
I love spending my free time watching ALTER Idk why
Well, well! This was pretty amazing (LEAD actress was EXCELLENT 🤗) & "sucked" (lol 😘) me right in! However, it DOES need a "follow-up" /continuation as it left 'open' so many unanswered questions... MORE, PLEAAASSSSEEEEE!!?! 💗 (PS: I am assuming the twinkle lights run on batteries?? 😉)
There are some vampires that sparkle like diamonds when they stand in sun😆😉🙃. Let me know if you know them too
Alter ♥️ please start making full length movies on each topic you launch . Please ....... Humble Request ♥️
Me: Maybe I should go to sleep now.
ALTER: *LOOK AT THIS RECOMMENDED VIDEOIOOOOOO*
It was worth it though
she did what she had to do. Poor kid... and she is a vampire yes so what so am i
Who else doesn’t eat when they are watching some scary stuff
That was badass
Love it💜
