Is it just me or has watching indie films become so much better than scrolling Netflix for an hour just to turn it off because you can’t find anything good?
Dude legit today my hotel just gave me a spare room key when I left it in my apartment, no ID, no proof i actually was in the hotel, just “hey can I have a room 207 card?” Followed by me getting one.
I worked the night audit and a big chain hotel, and they nailed this. The ominous feeling, the mundane duties, the weird people, and the lonliness. It was kind of cringe when he gave her a key without at least checking to see who was in the room, but it added to the mystery. They even got the start time, correct. Loved it...fantastic job!!!
This was done very well, my only complaint is the ending. Julian’s character was done so well that I actually started to care about his safety towards the end. But just as I found myself invested in finding out what happens to him and Helena, you end with the same cheap jump scare that’s so typical of the crappier short horror films. You did a great job on building up the plot, the uneasy setting is all the scare you need, I just felt like this one could’ve ended with a nicer ending. You could’ve put a jump scare when Julian enters the room, but then maybe follow with him somehow reassuring or comforting Helena’s spirit so that she could finally be at peace. And then end it off in the morning with his female coworker coming in and eventually seeing something that would indicate that there actually WAS somebody in room 320, then as she looks up at Julian in disbelief….THE END.
YES! This is exactly the ending I was hoping for myself. The scream at the end I couldn’t believe it . That’s it !? … whyyy!!!! lol upsetting though. What you wrote for an ending here is so much more complete. Because I was even feeling sorry for Julian that his boss was not very helpful, lol asking can u handle things every time she leaves. WTH? Lol that’s literally what he does every night. He deserved her acknowledgment about what was going on at night !
@@scumming85 Agree this video gives a good twist about him working way too hard. Also the scene in which his boss tells him he left a cart on an elevator and he does not recall anything of the sort. So is it him cognitively impaired or is it the other characters?
@@blackcirclepolkadot2618 Frl, i do not like the acting. The main character is stupid too. He should've called the police when he got that 'help me' call.
I used to work with a man at a Head Start agency in Stockton, CA. At least 20 years later, and after I had moved to Sacramento, I was watching the local news and they announced that the man I used to work with, had a daughter that moved to Maryland to avoid the stalker boyfriend, he found out where she had moved to and went to where she lived and killed her.
You don’t get paid or money to share that story, so why not just keep it to yourself? We are here to enjoy the horror film, not to be overwhelmed with multiple, non-fictional stories.
Losing the room key happens often & they probably left ID in the room, but you should pull up the room info and ask them whose name the room is under as well as other identifying information to make sure their answers match the info u have. Giving someone who isn't familiar & acting suspect the key is a HARD no.
Finally someone said it. I was waiting for him to check the details on the records but he never did until his coworker told him about the room's vacancy like bro you should've done it when she checked in
@@iamthedangerbiznatchyeah, but i feel like it should be part of the film. his manager told him that girls he could be interested in could come, so he probably tried shooting his shot after she didn’t have any ID
I can’t be the only one that loves working night shift! I love the night! Best part of the day if you ask me, the moment the sun goes down till just before the sun pops over the horizon!
I was a night worker by choice. I knew it when I was 9 years old, no joke, I even put in a composition about job choices. One thing learned quickly was to get over the rigid terms of 'breakfast foo' and "dinner food". Tuna salad was just fine for breakfast. Pancakes at dinner? sure. But now many restaurants do that some serve breakfast all day and a lot of people have breakfast for dinner at home as a menu choice, Glad to see that rigid thinking is gone but I think night workers helped start it.
This was well done. Acting was good too. I just feel like you're doing it a disservice with that ending. You need something stronger to go out on as opposed to your typical "jump scare." I know, I know, everybody's a critic. I just think you can make this POP with a much stronger ending. Kudos.
As a hotel manager this is relatable on a lot of levels. Telling staff they need to show up on time, telling them they need to take time to relax/rest (literally have to force some to leave or they will work hours after their shift), being understaffed because two weeks does not cut it for hiring and training replacements, etc. Also, all my employees who work overnight say they have heard things or seen a figure out of the corner of their eye but I just tell them they are crazy but if there is a ghost they better learn to like it and make friends (they know me and my sense of humor and know I'm joking.) I rarely have to but when I do work overnight I never notice anything. Have had a couple of deaths over the years but no murders. A couple things other people mentioned like looking up room # and verifying info if they don't have ID and why he didn't even look at the system the first time to verify her name and room # because a lot of guests forget or invert numbers... I can forgive all that. Plus some employees don't always stick to the rules. But the only thing that really bothered me was when he was looking up her name in the system (which I think is called Opera but it's been a while since I used that one so maybe not) he looked her up under "arrivals" instead of "in-house" so her name would not show if she was a guest. Just as an insider I was like whyyyy did they do that? But I get it's a short film. Also, a room would not be left out of order from June to September as it means it was out for the entire peak season. Maybe if it was small, privately owned and managed hotel but those long hallways are relatable and makes me doubt it. Anyway, aside from dissecting my work life from this, I thought it was decent. Not much plot but the lead guy was a good character (would hire!)
Wouldn't you tell your other staff to come and check room ३२० with you and tell her about the phone call or just think it's your sleep deprivation 's symptoms
This is one of those short films you already know you’ll like from the very first few establishing shots and the first spoken line. In for a good time I think.
One time I was working night shift on the front desk, watching a scary ass show and the power went out at about 3:30 am when I tell you I have never been more afraid …
This was REALLY good!! The background story to room 320 added an extra eerie element. I sadly had that very thing happen to some family members of mine years back. The funeral had such a sickening atmosphere. The whole thing felt as unnatural as the event itself that took my loved ones lives. One was my cousin who was only 12 and the other an Aunt both killed by her derranged boyfriend who then turned the gun on himself. I do believe such events can leave a kind of stain on space and time. Such a cold cruel world we live in.....😢
That's actually really common in smaller hotels. Night shift folks take on the responsibility of housekeeping many times. Can't speak for security, but had a friend who worked nights at a hotel and he was doing double-duty with basic housekeeping, cuz most cleaners do their shifts during the day. You're not cleaning full rooms, just doing maintenance like picking up trash and providing guest services til the full staff comes on in the morning.
I worked overnights at extended stay. Security isn't a thing and I was there alone and expected to check people in and do laundry and dishes the whole night. I only worked there for about three months and it was the worst. I eventually got a check in the mail from a court settlement for them not giving breaks.
@@lilscenechick1995 oh man, I was thinking the same thing. I was waiting for Julian to ask him if there was a Jewish convention in the hotel he didn’t know of. 😂 I got Director vibes for the jewish guy. What a pain in the tuchus, having to schlep all those towels around every night.
What horrified me about this movie was picking up dirty towels with bare hands and throwing them on top of clean towels or draping them over his own clothes.
Omg this movie was DOPE!! I worked as a security officer at night everywhere .at night it's aloooot of crazy shid happening.... and I'd be the only one working in an old law firm... sometimes...and the weirdest thing that happened to me is when all the lights went off ... For 30 mins and I automatically got locked in ... Thank God for Xanax 😮.
The slow build was effective at first, but I think this film's concept was better than the end result... you can tell some well-intentioned people put this together, but it still ended up with some very serious photography transgressions and rudimentary mistakes on display (13:10 actually made me LOL). -the actors and actresses here would all benefit from being able to work with better directors in the future.
fantastic short. creepy. i rekon there are many hotels that have hauntings. great job to all involved. loved this. when Julian looked up about no sleep and the brain, i was wondering if the rash that occured on his forehead had anything to do with the story as it was clear at the start then pretty bad by the end, but i was wrong. wasnt expecting the outcome. thumbs up
I'm sure Lisa made up a cover story for the next new employee doing the night shift afterwards. She likely knew that room was haunted too and didn't exactly mention it to Julian. Cool film and there are haunted hotels out there in real life.
Omg poor girl’s soul need freedom,feel sad about Julian poor boy after knowing the truth he should not stay at the work place he could run away from the main entrance doors even he knew the truth he went to room 320 😨😰
I thought this was great! It was gripping and it wasn’t a short film that was three minutes and done. Well done and I can’t wait to see what you come up with next.
One time I got a doordash order going to a hotel at midnight. I didn't realize it was a hotel, wouldn't have taken it otherwise. The items were two tubs of corn starch. Just that. I thought it couldn't get weirder. So I'm driving to this hotel with the corn starch and I just thought the kitchen staff desperately needed it or something. Nope. I get there and I have to take it to a room. Front desk lady basically tells me to go knock on the room's door even though I implied I didn't want to. I knock on the door and prepare to just wait 5 seconds before I leave it on the ground and dip, but it opens quickly, to a PITCH BLACK room, then this tiny little woman pokes her head around the door, I just held out the bag of corn starch and she reaches for it, bare arms bare shoulders, I think she was actually naked. She thanks me and closes the door. Maybe she was a ghost and just wanted to feel more like a ghost, embrace her situation, by putting corn starch on her body. In all seriousness I don't know why the fuck this woman ordered 2 jugs of corn starch at midnight in a pitch black hotel room. I hope she was just gonna have fun making oobleck in the sink, as opposed to a sexual thing or using it to take a cut out of some cocaine.
@@Sacred_Fire This happened to me and I’m just relaying the story. If you spent less time on reddit then you wouldn’t assume every outlandish story you hear is made up for internet points
I absolutely loved this. They really captured the feeling of being scared and alone working at night. I liked the story line as well. Good acting too. ❤
Wouldn't the day manager have remembered a murder/suicide that happened in room 320? Even if it happened at midnight, Im sure she would have heard about it regardless
Are we all just gonna ignore near the end when he touches a wall that has no light switches and is surprised when the lights don’t come on? That being said, this was fantastic!
I work in hospitality, and he should be fired on the spot for giving her a key to a room without proper identification. Hypothetically, what if she went to a room, killed someone and left out. The hotel would be held responsibie for that. Wrong....
Entertainment allows us to strengthen our suspension of disbelief. Just think how boring our entertainment would be if everyone did just what they are supposed to do. Who'd watch that? Might as well just live lives ourselves if that's what it's down to.
I Just Watched This Short Film Yesterday🙌 The Performances Of The Four Actors In This Story Were Also Beautiful. I Also Impressed For Colby Range Character✌ In This Cinematography, Editing And Team Work Really Good🤗 But This Story Was Very Entertainment And Best❤
4:24 No way this man didn't start talking to himself. Nobody asked him how he was doing lmao. Wasn't Lisa....the one that walked into the hotel with no shoes?!?!? WHAT IS THIS lol
I work night shift too but freight at home depot with about fifteen dudes I'm the only woman. The only spooky thing is walking to my car in the dark empty large parking lot so I have a gun, pepper spray, knife, handcuff pickers, etc just for that short walk lol
Very enjoyable. The setting was ideal and the acting was perfect. The ending was typical and I was hoping for something different but you still did a fantastic job.
It was good! But I really like the suggestion about the ending with Julian basically helping the haunted spirit find peace. I think it would've made an excellent watch.
I loved this horror short film,I loved the actors,the acting,the sound track and I loved the suspense.I even loved the quality plus i also rate this horror short film a 10/10⭐️🔥!
I enjoyed it, scary, and the actor who plays Julian was excellent. I've worked lots of graveyard shifts in hospitals and it is weird in the wee hours. And you hear and see strange things, perhaps from the lack of sleep. And perhaps...it's something more...
the real horror here is he probably has a whole college degree that cost him a ton, just to be stuck working third shift reception at a hotel, with a computer that apparently lost all reservation informations. THATS the horror here.
Wow, never i would think the horror movie would actually comfort me, while still be creepy and so liminal! Loved it so much! Helena was so good with that eye expression, i loved "my head been all over the place" too! And Julian, oh.. the actor is great and so charming, i loved him!
This one is good but makes no sense in some parts. He asked her multiple times if she was ok or if she needed help and then after that phone call with her screaming she needed help, he ran up to check on her, asked her if she needed him to come in and check to see if everything was ok. So why was she so mad at him in the end, yelling “you all let me die!” Like sweetie no.. poor Julian tried to help you multiple times. You kept turning him away!! lol like what??? Am I wrong ??
I've never worked in a hotel, so I'm curious ... is it normal to have only ONE person working overnight? That seems to be a major problem just waiting to happen.
Number 1- A Hero ain't nothing but a sandwich! Meaning, keep your nose out of business that doesn't concern you & stop trying to save the world. 🤣 Number 2 - if a news article states that the person you saw was kìlled in a murder-suicide, you leave it at that and either find a new job or don't answer the phone when it rings on cue at 12 midnight, nor do you walk your simple a$$ to the very room your boss told hasn't been occupied in MONTHS. Why? Because the ghost will eat you. 🤣😂 Number 3 - GREAT WORK!! I highly enjoyed this💯😊❤️

Also, he mixes dirty towels with the folded clean ones.
Well that’s how it use to be not even IDs before
Dude legit today my hotel just gave me a spare room key when I left it in my apartment, no ID, no proof i actually was in the hotel, just “hey can I have a room 207 card?” Followed by me getting one.
yes, it is not secure if keys are given to who knows who.

I can imagine the night crawlers you got in. That is the term we used on the night shift where I worked. The night crawlers arrived after 2 AM.

I'm sure Lisa made up a cover story for the next new employee doing the night shift afterwards. She likely knew that room was haunted too and didn't exactly mention it to Julian. Cool film and there are haunted hotels out there in real life.
This was fantastic! awesome job!!! I see an upcoming director here, best of luck to you.
Ive never been to a Hotel/Motel that leaves dirty towels outside the door😂
The guests do all the time and then staff comes to pick them up.
Omg poor girl’s soul need freedom,feel sad about Julian poor boy after knowing the truth he should not stay at the work place he could run away from the main entrance doors even he knew the truth he went to room 320 😨😰
I thought this was great! It was gripping and it wasn’t a short film that was three minutes and done. Well done and I can’t wait to see what you come up with next.
I don't know the black guy, but he's really good! Hollywood could benefit greatly by hiring him!
His acting is as good as Dezels son!!
Well done. Terrific performances and the soundtrack is great.
This is an amazing short film! Y’all should be proud of this. I wish you the best of luck in the future and I hope you keep making these.
The real horror are people leaving trash and towels in the hallway.
One time I got a doordash order going to a hotel at midnight. I didn't realize it was a hotel, wouldn't have taken it otherwise. The items were two tubs of corn starch. Just that. I thought it couldn't get weirder. So I'm driving to this hotel with the corn starch and I just thought the kitchen staff desperately needed it or something. Nope. I get there and I have to take it to a room. Front desk lady basically tells me to go knock on the room's door even though I implied I didn't want to. I knock on the door and prepare to just wait 5 seconds before I leave it on the ground and dip, but it opens quickly, to a PITCH BLACK room, then this tiny little woman pokes her head around the door, I just held out the bag of corn starch and she reaches for it, bare arms bare shoulders, I think she was actually naked. She thanks me and closes the door. Maybe she was a ghost and just wanted to feel more like a ghost, embrace her situation, by putting corn starch on her body. In all seriousness I don't know why the fuck this woman ordered 2 jugs of corn starch at midnight in a pitch black hotel room. I hope she was just gonna have fun making oobleck in the sink, as opposed to a sexual thing or using it to take a cut out of some cocaine.
Bored, so making paper mache or a pinata or later trying to sneak a dead body out the hotel
Maybe she had a bad rash and was putting it in the bathwater?
Made up story from Reddit.
@@Sacred_Fire This happened to me and I’m just relaying the story. If you spent less time on reddit then you wouldn’t assume every outlandish story you hear is made up for internet points
Maybe she had a bad rash in her body, that was why she was naked, some people say cornstarch is good for that.
Mad at myself for sitting through this!!!
This is one of top independent horror films I've seen. Well done!!!
I absolutely loved this. They really captured the feeling of being scared and alone working at night. I liked the story line as well. Good acting too. ❤
Wouldn't the day manager have remembered a murder/suicide that happened in room 320? Even if it happened at midnight, Im sure she would have heard about it regardless
Dates say it happened 23 years ago. 22:16 Maybe day manager was too young to have heard about it.
Are we all just gonna ignore near the end when he touches a wall that has no light switches and is surprised when the lights don’t come on?
That being said, this was fantastic!
I work in hospitality, and he should be fired on the spot for giving her a key to a room without proper identification. Hypothetically, what if she went to a room, killed someone and left out. The hotel would be held responsibie for that. Wrong....
I was thinking the same thing.
He was just being kind to the poor girl!
@@StanZ-i6w you are an AI bot!!!
It’s just a story.
Entertainment allows us to strengthen our suspension of disbelief. Just think how boring our entertainment would be if everyone did just what they are supposed to do. Who'd watch that? Might as well just live lives ourselves if that's what it's down to.
Bravo! Well done!! Slow building up of suspense and keeping the audience hooked. THIS Iis how you tell a story!
Omg!!! Okay. This was really good! Amazing cast,production, lights and camera work. Everything was a 10 out of a 10!❤👏🏾
Have to admit, it was a great story….great acting, thoroughly enjoyed. 🥰🥰🥰
I enjoyed it. Thought it was good. But wish we could know what happened to the young man. Did he survive? If so, i bet he quit that job. Lol
Good film terrific acting 🎥🎬
I Just Watched This Short Film Yesterday🙌
The Performances Of The Four Actors In This Story Were Also Beautiful. I Also Impressed For Colby Range Character✌
In This Cinematography, Editing And Team Work Really Good🤗 But This Story Was Very Entertainment And Best❤
All I'm thinking is he is putting those dirty towels right where THE CLEAN ONES ARE!!!!!@@ HORROR
Great story, truly scary and lovely soundtrack! Excellent! 😊
As a hotel supervisor, I can confirm that "Don't have a mental breakdown until I have more staff" is soooo on point. 😂😅
4:24 No way this man didn't start talking to himself. Nobody asked him how he was doing lmao. Wasn't Lisa....the one that walked into the hotel with no shoes?!?!? WHAT IS THIS lol
The most unreal part of this movie is how easy he clocked in on that touch pad
The suspense was great.
I work night shift too but freight at home depot with about fifteen dudes I'm the only woman. The only spooky thing is walking to my car in the dark empty large parking lot so I have a gun, pepper spray, knife, handcuff pickers, etc just for that short walk lol
Creepy as hell, although, set and performed in quite simple, minimalistic way. Loved it! ❤
“All work and no play,” BEST hotel reference…IYKYK. 😳
Very enjoyable.
The setting was ideal and the acting was perfect.
The ending was typical and I was hoping for something different but you still did a fantastic job.
All pm shifts at hotels and motels like this have 1 security guard on the overnights.
I was genuinely quite scared! But ending wasn't fleshed out enough.
It was good! But I really like the suggestion about the ending with Julian basically helping the haunted spirit find peace. I think it would've made an excellent watch.
I loved this horror short film,I loved the actors,the acting,the sound track and I loved the suspense.I even loved the quality plus i also rate this horror short film a 10/10⭐️🔥!
I enjoyed it, scary, and the actor who plays Julian was excellent. I've worked lots of graveyard shifts in hospitals and it is weird in the wee hours. And you hear and see strange things, perhaps from the lack of sleep. And perhaps...it's something more...
ehh actor needed way more acting experience he slacked off most of the time
the real horror here is he probably has a whole college degree that cost him a ton, just to be stuck working third shift reception at a hotel, with a computer that apparently lost all reservation informations.
THATS the horror here.
Some of the acting wasn't so great, but the creepiness and atmosphere of the hotel with its endless corridors was well realised. Not bad.
Thats creepy..., heck no im not going there after reading the death article
Wow, never i would think the horror movie would actually comfort me, while still be creepy and so liminal! Loved it so much! Helena was so good with that eye expression, i loved "my head been all over the place" too! And Julian, oh.. the actor is great and so charming, i loved him!
Imagine your spirit being trapped forever in a shitty hotel room.
As a black man, I would never work at hotel alone, let alone the graveyard shift
Dear Julian he had 3 jobs & that ON TOP 😮
That was fantastic! Thank you for sharing and well-done!
I like that all of them haven't microphones. It makes more realistic the sound
haven’t microphones? are you 5
@@degautiss9182 that's just how british people talk dude
@@whenyoudownrng womp womp i don’t wanna hear it peasant
This one is good but makes no sense in some parts. He asked her multiple times if she was ok or if she needed help and then after that phone call with her screaming she needed help, he ran up to check on her, asked her if she needed him to come in and check to see if everything was ok. So why was she so mad at him in the end, yelling “you all let me die!” Like sweetie no.. poor Julian tried to help you multiple times. You kept turning him away!! lol like what??? Am I wrong ??
I think maybe he should have helped her cross over somehow…. It feels heartbreakingly incomplete
Hey the poor guy was not a priest/pastor/rabbi.
I've never worked in a hotel, so I'm curious ... is it normal to have only ONE person working overnight? That seems to be a major problem just waiting to happen.
Actually yes especially when you check in late at night but it think it depends on the hotel
It's normal
It's considered slow times so it's very normal
Yup it is
Yes that’s normal
That was incredible!! Awesome job!! Excellent acting as well!! You now have a new subscriber!!
Did julian died at end??
Also, I love that all of us night auditors are collectively repulsed at him giving out that key like that 😂😂😂
Number 1- A Hero ain't nothing but a sandwich! Meaning, keep your nose out of business that doesn't concern you & stop trying to save the world. 🤣
Number 2 - if a news article states that the person you saw was kìlled in a murder-suicide, you leave it at that and either find a new job or don't answer the phone when it rings on cue at 12 midnight, nor do you walk your simple a$$ to the very room your boss told hasn't been occupied in MONTHS. Why? Because the ghost will eat you. 🤣😂
Number 3 - GREAT WORK!! I highly enjoyed this💯😊❤️
Everyone's acting, especially the lead, was natural and believable
There is no atmosphere in this move 😢 Seems like a good film study class project.
it's the lack of eerie music maybe
Woww, it was one of the best horror short movie that I’ve ever seen!!!!
So, this is just the writer’s experiences as a night clerk at a hotel, with a scary ending tacked-on…
Great short horror. Had "Shining" written all over it though...😊
I waited 27 minutes for THAT !!!
What happens after midnight? A Diddy party…..now that’s some scary sh!t
