More About "Immure":
A horrifying thriller set in present-day London exploits Eugene's imperfect home life, a blood donor by profession whose attempts to keep his sick mother alive isolate him from his work and the outside world.
Mary, Eugene's feisty neighbour and desperate to escape her abusive father, continues to chase Eugene through her burgeoning crush, all the while he looks to meet the loyalty expected of his mother. However, the repercussion of keeping his dark secret alive leads to a lost soul and the police sniffing around the estate. With Mary's impulses running wild, will his secret come to light, or will he continue down the wrong path, and in doing so, represent the darker side of human nature.

Hello there! This is Conscian Morgan, Writer and Director of Immure. A big thank you to Alter for showcasing the film and I hope you all enjoy it!
Great job man!
That was very well done! Thank you!
Amazing film.
Loved it!!!
Hey man, wonderful masterpiece do you have have the original script or a physical copy yet a book you made as for this short film to relay on? I would love to read it!
That little touch about Eugene's mother still being able to play beautiful music was brilliant. There was still a person in there. Thank you for another amazing and brilliantly acted film.
I thought she would play the piano after feeding..
That warmed my heart a little!
Actually it is very much frightening. She played the music after eating a man
I think it's sad... he goes from having to sacrifice his personal life to care for his mom. As soon as he's free from that burden he's thrown into caring for his abused girlfriend and giving up college. When he turns around to go back inside it signifies he's willing to give up his life to make his loved ones happy.
It is more guilt than sacrifice for the girlfriend. Had he not allowed her in, she would never have been attacked.
@@sonyabattle9600 he got laid. worth it.
Also, his girlfriend is going to be locked away now because she got bit.
She got bit so now he has to take care of her
Poor boy 🤦🏾♀️
Such a sad film. Both were trapped, immured against their will with a monster. One was an abusive partner and the other a vampire and, let's be honest, are they really dissimilar? Both were abusing their "loved one", (though if you are abusing someone, you don't really love them, in my opinion) and were feeding off of them. One emotionally and spiritually, while the other almost literally.
The film also speaks of co-dependency, Eugene lived to care for his mother. His whole life was dedicated to her, from his choice of employment to restricting his own social life and trying to find victims for his mother's bloody appetite. Without his mother he had no life and without him she'd not survive for very long.
Also, the vampire design was really good, rather than the urbane aristocratic creatures people tend to think of, or the edgy, gothy, counter culture vampires of more recent times, they took the creature back to its feral, monstrous, roots.
Anyway, sorry to waffle on. Brilliant film, loved it.
I honestly hate how Vampires have become basically trendy and cool now. Instead of being something utterly terrfying.
I like your thougts on vampires, the design in this film and their cultural roots. The original vampire looked much more like a zombie both in appereance and action.
@@TranshumanistBCI Thank you, that's very kind of you. I wish you well.
@@jamesforsyth1701 I agree 100%. Vampires are presented as being almost aspirational creatures but, once upon a time, they were once treated with fear and revulsion. I blame Bela Lugosi. Bring back real vampires!
@@TranshumanistBCI i was just gonna say this
Scariest part of the film was them calling him into the office with HR and showing him the camera footage of him swiping that blood. Getting called into the office is always blood curdling
HR are the real vampires
That is the real life horror I have dealt with minus the blood part!
RL Horror.
Shashi nailed it: HR is the RL everyday horror here.
Thank you Alter for showcasing Immure! It was a brilliant project to be part of and it’s so wonderful to read all your comments. Enjoy!
Your acting in this short film was absolutely phenomenal!
@@ikadize on my momma this shit was good
Yup your acting is great..
you’re amazing 😭
The pace was perfect...kept my on edge...great performance young lady!
Ending was so sad. The mother still recognizes Eugene as his son that's why she doesn't eat him. 😢
The way she touches his cheeks... That is the only part where she looks like a mother.
Actually I think if some human attributes were left in her and if she loved her son, then she could have sacrificed herself so as to free her son to live his own life
Stuck with the same curse twice.. poor guy! That was awesome. That monster was scary!
Please Im confused, does the girl now become a vampire like Eugene mom was?
@@cityjudez i have noo aide of the whole movie..like how she become that? What happened next? Did the girl turn into that????? Like whattt
@@cityjudez yes
I wonder if they would end up having hybrid babies.
@@JoshB.Podcast Like Alucard from Castlevania?
The glimpse of freedom he had just before he turned back inside was heartbreaking
bruh i started watching one and now i’ve can’t stop watching them 😭
Me too
The doll maker?
This much better than a lot of full movies!
In a lot of ways I can actually agree with you...
Its better because its not full time. lol
Thought for sure the Abuser was gonna get what's coming to Him, but great twist! At least Gene will take care of Her now and most definitely Abuser will meet his fate soon. Great Film!!
When gene decides to bring humans again the guys definitely on the top of the list... Maybe sooner if the guy breaks into the apartment...
He's not going to take care of her. They should have been put out of their misery. But hes too weak to do that and they have to suffer.
@@Berserk1Manga
I see what you did there ...
@@VladmirPoopN 😂
what a short... it's like watching a whole movie in just 19mins... kudos
I love that they tackle serious issues but they aren't tacky about it and they aren't picking sides. They address issues that no one wants to talk about and I love that they talk about them through these videos.
Oh, I loved so much this one! I was hoping for that "finally free" ending and escaping together, but that turn of events just blew me off. I liked that he stayed with her though, his love for both his mom and the girl were altruistic enough to go repeat all this hellish cycle just bc he loves them. It broke my heart somehow, because that little spark of hope for them died quickly, so sad.
Amazing acting, I adored the dynamics of Egene and Mary, there was an unspoken intimacy between them and the actors created a fantastic atmosphere when they were together.
🙏🏽
yeah if it was a woman she immediately left.
@@hazaonly lmao no
At first I thought there was something wrong with my TV and I kept turning it up LOL. This has to be one of the best of your videos I've seen lately! It had me completely submerged and intrigued I could not take my eyes off the screen for one single second! The actors were incredible! Wow is all I have to say! I feel really bad for Eugene... he said "it's finally over" and now his Crush has this bloodlust as well... I would love to see a part 2 of this video and how he ends up taking care of her now!
This proves that horror films can be just as effective, when there is light and you can see whàt is happening! This was fantastic!!!
This was really enjoyable to watch. The story is so well-written and well-developed it almost felt like a feature length film instead of just 19 minutes. The story has a nice, slow build-up and the jump-scare is very well placed 😱 The acting is very convincing and even though the cast is small, each character makes a significant mark on the story. Good job 👍🏾
Sometimes life throws us in an endless cycle until you can make the hardest of choices.
Man that ending was heart wrenching on so many levels... You can tell that he was was thinking a combination of so close and the exits right there when he looked to the right...
Poor guy. He can’t catch a break.
Brilliant short. The make up was outstanding on mum, some films can't do a vampire like that.great job hope to see me from you.
Conscian🙋🏽♀️ as someone who was the primary caregiver for both of my parents (Alzheimers, my Dad & Chronic Asthma Mumz) this really hit home..U will do ANYTHING 2 help them😌.
Excellent everything💯.
ALTER u already know 🥰
Interesting way to welcome the new daughter-in-law to the family. . .
Great story, well acted, and great FX makeup on the mother. I love that you showed little snippets without revealing too much, and yet the story is very easy to follow. Bravo!
His Ma didn't sling that plate at the wall because she didn't want him going out.... it was for neglecting to serve gravy with his dinner, those Yorkshire puds were criminally dry, that was the true horror. ;D
i connected the mother with addictions that people may face or with traumas and their own demons. Really good job
Alter never fails to satisfy me with these horror shorts. Far better than many 2-hour horror films
I love it. Simple. Not too dark that I can’t see anything. The message was delivered beautifully. Scary in it’s own way.
Saw this at NYC Horror film fest a few years back and it’s fantastic. Great work Conscian!
👊🏽
17:48 “just because it’s over doesn’t mean it’s really over”
I was just about to say «FINALLY a shorty with a happy ending!» BRUH spoke too soon😩 Now she will become the same as his mother. 😭 Loved this. One of my favourites❤️
Terrifying & thought provoking, the director did a great job making this horror short, showing the terrors of vampirism with the devotion for a loved one. The pace was quite slow but I thought that added to the painful monotony of the immurement. The creature effects were fantastic & horrific. An enjoyable story with great actors, well done.
Thats exactly what living with aomeone with an addiction is like..excellent short!
This is exactly what happens to kids of a home in which the parent is addicted. They send out their kids to do heineous things to bring them the lifeline (drugs). They make them work from toddlerhood. They make the kids connect with street people and shady people. Etc.
Aw man just when he got rid of one burden bam heres another for ya. Pretty acurate if i say so.
EXACTLY!
There's a lot of hard work and talent went into this riveting film, and I've got a feeling that this powerhouse of a team has got a lot more where this came from.
Wow!! Very well done. 👏🏽. I like how you showed both Mary and Eugene were holding on to unhealthy relationships , knowing they would lead to destruction ( Mary with her boyfriend and Eugene with his "sick" mom). It was very sad that , even at the end, Eugene life was going to remain the same. I like how the sun coming through the window symbolize rebirth but just as quickly as he opened the door, a huge realization came to pass which took the sun ( rebirth) away. I would have like to known a little more backstory on how the mother came to be that way.
Well said. I would add that, that's Mary's father that's abusive, not boyfriend. I think it tells a lot about the fact that the love we accept is the love we are familiar with. She somehow thought her father loved her despite the abuse. And Eugene was being avoidant and cold with her and she still had feelings for him, because that's what she thinks that love is.
Looks like both Eugene and Mary were experiencing the same coin but different sides.
it's the same coin except one has a fuck ton more blood on it
@@badza47 Could be; sounds like Mary was catching alot from her father.
why cant people just ever leave when told to leave in a horror movie? nope they all just have to investigate.
Stupid people doing stupid things. If she got back in bed all would be fine.
That was Ace!!!! Mother was amazing!! Her room was horrible and the manky piano! The whole place stank!!
No doubt. Could almost smell the grime thru the screen.😣
@@melaniejerrils3671 Great wasn't it!! 🖤
Oh man. Traded one problem for another problem. This is what happens when you don't "take care of business" like you should. 😒
The thing is I'm pretty sure he was thinking of taking her out because he said he wanted to go to college... I think he was holding back on doing anything because he might have been worried about her...
A beautiful short film...though I know some people who goes thru this curse in real life.
It is really difficult to help someone like Eugene...to help him is to be, in some way, dragged into his predicament.
I hope that if there are people with the same problem like him, I wish them well and I wish that God give them strength and heart to continue helping others while sacrificing their own needs and feelings.
I remember watching this, ir STARTING TO, 2 yrs ago when I used ti binge this channel like an addict.
For whatever reason I never ever saw the conclusion of it & though I had conscious memory of that being the case, subconsciously I must've known because after recently watching it on a friend's firestick & then pausing it & coming back only to find out that YT now resets you back to an intro page when you dont log in, or are away too long, I had to attempt to find it again, but couldnt remember the clips title, only the thumbnail.
Well, it was worth it. Two years later Im sure I better understand the secondary meaning better than if I'd seen it two years prior.
The Oscar goes to... Natalie Oliver ❤ She's amazing actress, intense and original.
Wow, this was a really incredible scary film. Lots of twists and turns to it. I jumped when he was having dinner with his mom and she threw something at the wall. I had my headset on and it truly scared me. The film was well done and perfect acting by all.
Mom bit the girlfriend... so now the girlfriend cannot go into the light.. her skin was smoking. Now he's still trapped... this time to care & feed the girl. LIke he was almost out of that life.... but now its endless. Again. So sad...
This one's the best of all the shorts alter has made,I almost felt like it's been a 1/2 hours I've been watching this movie,well done.
So, there is no solution to end this hypothetical continuous chain?
Makes me feel weird how some people need to face such things, all alone and we being around them, can't understand them.
How busy and ignorant we've been?😞😞
Addicted to Alter.. watching all the short stories for 3 days.. ❤️👍
The breaking of the plate scared me OUT my seat (and the urine ALMOST OUT my bladder) with my ear buds in!!😳Thanks ALTER...😏
Unrealistic sound effect though
Ok Bravo Alter, this is easily one of the best and scariest short films I’ve ever seen in my life!! 👏👏👏The writing, acting and production/creature effects were terrific, and even the title with it’s double meaning is perfect!! 💯💯💯
Also as someone who works in healthcare, this really hit home for all of us who know the burden of caregiving all day long at work then coming home to give care to a loved one (who is often demanding and unappreciative, and doesn’t care that you’re giving up your whole life to care for them) My heart breaks for the poor main character for the ✨true✨ horror that he is living. 💔
Great Short movie, would love to see a full length that shows origins and how it ended up here
16:38 That was heart attack literally.
😨😱
Right!! Grabbed my heart and everything...🧟♂️😱
God damnit i clicked on that to see which part and it scared the hell out of me again! lol!
@@zacharysweet1849 sorry for that buddy😂
I only have one negative thing to say…..It wasn’t long enough!! Brilliant film! I’ve recently discovered Alter and it’s my new obsession!
Excellent, I can even forgive the fact that the vampire was chewing on the left side of her neck but the wounds showed on the right.
This was very captivating!! Only problem with this short! Is the fact that it's only a short!! Which sucks
The sign of a great story is leaving the audience wanting more. With that said, there's no need for a back filler on how mom was turnt because the protagonist and his love interest slice of life is what's being told. No one's lining up and asking how the boyfriend/husband became an abuser. Its apparent some of you lost focus. This is how those small loud few ruin great works of art.
hi I'm from Indonesia, haven't watched this channel for a long time because I'm busy with school
Watching in the bed. Jumped twice and almost woke my husband up on this one. Well done. 👏🏽
Wow!! This was absolutely brutal, awesome. Like honestly If this was a full length, it would be hailed as one of the best horror films in the last decade.
Very satisfying to eventually see the monster. Thanx!
Wow this was amazing!!! Im speechless! Everything was perfect my eyes were glued to the screen. Such a sad but beautiful ending!!
That was an amazing film. I loved it from beginning to end. I want more! I haven't had a good jump scare in a while and the ones in this film were executed perfectly. I also love the end. Poor guy, just couldn't catch a break... The acting, make up, cinematography and set design set the perfect atmosphere. Thanks for this, it really inspires me to continue working on my film. Best wishes and many thanks!
This may be a stupid question but what happened to the mother? How did she become a monster like this? Great short, I loved it!💖💖💖
She's a vampire
Yes we can see on the picture that she was a normal human before, some previous vampire had probably bitten her like she did with the girl
@@stephaniadlc can you leave the time stamp for the picture? I didn’t see it
@@nyla6021 at 3:06 there's a picture of him as a kid and his mom playing the piano
Thanks to all for explaining it to me💖💖💖💖
I will never complain about my parents again
This film is really good.. the music she plays is so haunting and beautiful.... kudos to all involved in the making of this film..
I jumped out of my skin TWICE! That’s the first time that has happened since my son introduced me to this channel 6 weeks ago. I think I watched at least 30 of these super fucking AWESOME shorts since then.
I love this channel!
💖🌸💖
It so sad. My heart broke.
Yeah😪
Yeah haunting end for sure!!
I love vampire stories. Excellent work and great find on the actress.
She’s beautiful, with those amazing dimples, and has great acting ability.
Every single short from Alter is way better than any horror movie I have seen. And man I have seen alot of horror movies!
Wow now that is what you call a jump scare!! Not going to lie most are an attempt at best, this is no attempt...
This film was really awesome and last was sad but then also he showed his caring nature for her abused GF and eugene is really kind 😭❤️
seriously, this is channel and its short films are phenomenal . As a horror fan , i am very glad I found this channel. ❤️
Shut the door and run like hell. Perhaps the demons within are not so easy to shut the door on. Can you trade one monster for another? A fun watch. Thought provoking. Good work.
Y'all why can't you give a good ending..??😭😭
Now the girl has to be a vampire..??!!
It's over.....naw, not quite.
Like the rest, this one was awesome.
The addiction started with "The Dollmaker"❤️
My to xD
Indeed, that is one hell of a creation...
Great commentary on the different kinds of abuse.. excellent short!!
A beautifully horrific story, beautifully acted and beautifully told. Well done to all involved. Thoroughly entertaining.
This was awesome! I'm so happy they didn't show the 'monster' as the thumbnail!
How will he continue to afford the apartment if he lost his job? Where would he and his vampire girlfriend go?
He'd claim benefits which would include housing benefit
OMW ! Though , anything can be but the last scene of his mother's touch tho she was a monster , heartbreaking .
The fact that eugenes mother still recognizes him and doesn't eat him makes me want to cry😭😭😭
Woww 👏it was really fun to watch untill the girl arrived to his home, after that I began to watch it seriously. You guys successfully exhibited that relationship of mother and son through his internal conflict.❤️
What about when the poor homeless man got murdered?
This was one of the best short horror movies yet. Great story and well acted.
Excellent! The best short I’ve seen in a long time!
ALTER: *posts a new film*
someone in the comments: omg the dollmaker-
This is my favorite of this year for sure. I really hope you continue making movies!
You just wish every girl would be so nice and trusting like that blonde one
It’s amazing how good these are. I really wish was at least 90 minutes long.
What a beautiful & sad story.
This film nicely builds tension and for a good portion leaves much to the imagination.
Part of the build comes from the stakes getting higher as the film progresses.
The examination of deeply kept secrets was well done. The juxtaposition of the abuse happening in the neighboring apartments worked well too.
Curiosity is a double edged sword as shown here.
The ending landed well and is haunting in a way that will stick with you.
I also got the feeling that the abusive neighbor might have something coming.
Excellent work and congratulations to Conscian Morgan, the cast, and crew.
Peace.
Great Film. When I saw her legs slide at the end I was like "Noooo!". 👍🏾👍🏾
I absolutely loved it . Great atmosphere , great acting . A big bravo .
Damn, this might be my new favorite short on Alter... REALLY well done
I enjoyed the slowly-developing mystery! The acting was excellent, totally believable. Too bad he couldn't arrange an introduction of the young woman's abusive boyfriend to his mother.
I don't see any neighborhood cats, so I assume they've already been laser-pointed into the buffet zone.
I jest. But I'm reminded of two movies. "Psycho", also concerning a nice young man's relationship with his sick mother, and, although I haven't seen it for a while, "Little Shop of Horrors", in which, if I remember correctly, a downtrodden young man is compelled to bring "food" to a malevolent carnivorous plant.
Thanks for making this for all of us! 👍
Amazing! love the actor and actress too.
I hate when (horror) short films have a single word name I don't know/understand
Makes me go in completely and genuinely blank
Mother scared the mess out of me.
Every mother and mom is good...not matter what 😢😢😢🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
