That was a really great story about motherhood in all its forms and letting go. BRAVO!!!!
Her daughter was a brat who could care less about her mother. She would not talk to her nor let her even finish a sentence. I am SO grateful that my children are not like that!!
U
I don't really understand what is about
@@taraworld9816 Actually I think that you misunderstood me about letting go.
I mean the mother letting go of the strong held devotions towards her daughter and realizing that she (the mother) matters as a person. Letting go of one broken family, to find a more loving family she deserves.
It's not about the daughter in anyway, except for her being a catalyst pushing her mother to some of these realizations. It's about letting go of one life to embrace another.
I was never insinuating that I was agreeing with the daughter's behavior. Eastern or Western culture, I am pretty sure the daughter's behavior would be over the top. I just meant the growth of the main character was due to moving on physically and emotionally.
@@life1862 Her daughter could hardly give her the time of day, the mother even had a brief vision of giving her daughter vampirism, that way she could never leave the home (due to sunlight) and would live forever with her mum. Her mother knew she was happy outside with her boyfriend, so she let her daughter go instead due to her true love for her, I'm 9 months late to explain, but hope you read it
People who have such good mothers never realise how blessed they are. This was really an emotional one I must say.
I was blessed to have one special Mother ✍🏽Whose name was 🌹 Rose Mary Pierce 🥀Her job is well done Alhamdulillah I truly thank Allah for giving me such a gift 💝 O how I miss her so much 😓Inshallah I will see you again Mommie Ilu Forevermore❣️Sunrise 👑December 24, 1962 - June 17, 2020 always your Babygirl💞😘
I 100% agree with you
A mother with that kinda unconditional love is an unbelievably beautiful thing. Gotta cherish every moment of it and love them back to the very end.
Have faith, you will see her again, blessings
It's true. They take it for granted so easily.
Just a few weeks ago, I was over at a friend's house to do work on his bathroom renovation. His mother was also there to babysit the kids in the meantime. It ended up dragging a bit long, so she made us some waffles to snack on while we were working and when we sat down to eat them, he tried one, looked his mother dead in the eye and said: 'They're alright. You've made better ones.'
I was just absolutely floored at the sheer audacity of it. I lost my own mother at a very young age, so I never got a chance to learn how a relationship between mother and son is supposed to be from my own perspective, but that seemed so rude to me. She went out of her way to make us something and he just treated it like it was second rate. She didn't buy us anything to eat, she frikkin made them from scratch in his kitchen and he treated it like it was nothing special. He doesn't know how lucky he is to have a mother like that. I didn't feel like it was my place to say anything, though, because I don't know what their relationship is like and it didn't feel like my place to butt in.
Maybe that's their normal routine, I don't know. My view on things like that is terribly skewed, because I don't have anything of my own to compare it to and she didn't seem to be too upset at it.
If you have the kind of mother who will make you homemade waffles without you having to ask, don't tear her down like that. Many people don't have it that lucky. She even included some for me and I was basically a stranger to her who was only over there to do some renovating.
this is no longer a horror film, this is an eye -opener about the secret sacrifices of being a mother and how they just want to see their children happy even if seeing us happy no longer includes them.. this made me even more appreciate and love my mom so much.. to all the moms out there you are the best!
I’m glad that she got friends in the end. Actually kinda warmed my heart
Oh my God, I thought they came to turn her daughter into one of them. They were only there to show her she had a new family. That was so beautiful and sweet. ❤
I can't believe a Taiwanese short film is on ALTER. I'm so proud of being Taiwanese.
Thanks, ALTER.
😏
Well im proud of being German and a little bit of Irish .I'm also proud that I can read thanks altar for another great film. And subtitles and giving these two guys or girls a little piece of themselves.
握手握手
@@asmile7381 Bro, first of all, that's kinda harsh, but I' can neglect it. Second, those two people who you mentioned were both me. And I'm a boy.😂😂
@@user-cv6wy9oi9r how is that harsh basically I'm saying I'm German and a little bit of Irish and I'm proud I can read. Because if I couldn't I wouldn't be able to enjoy it a little piece of taiwanese. Also how would I know you can be a transient for all I know. But thanks for clearing up that you're a boy.
Also you can't hate me for mocking you or or saying that I'm proud of my race and I would not want to change it just to enjoy the video. Maybe I should have said it this way I'm proud of being German and Irish but I'm also glad I can read so that I can enjoy this video
WHAT GIVES ALTER. I CAME HERE RO BE AFRAID... NOT TO “FEEL” THINGS. This bout to make real human tears come out my face.
🤣🤣🤣😂😂 right!
I totally cried, but my tears were canine.
I wonder if the other members sensed what the mother was thinking and feeling, almost like a hive mind and showed up to give her support and love and to be sure that the mother does not do the unthinkable by reminding her the girl will never age.
I loved the end where she has her arm around the mothers shoulders..there was something so deeply touching in that one shot that could not be verbalized any better.
Well done to all involved in this short, the acting, cinematography, music...everything was just so spot on! Bravo!!
I was wondering the same thing about the "hive mind" thing. I'm pretty sure that's where they were going with that. I also loved how the camera focused in on the little girl, in what seemed to be through her, the mother's eyes. As if it were representing she could not necessarily "replace", but maybe be like a pseudo daughter for her, and help her not miss her real daughter as much.
I actually thought this was brilliant!! The acting, the story literally everything. This woman was so alone. Her daughter did not care what her father did to her mother. Didn't seem to give her the time of day. Then she was leaving to be with her boyfriend. The mom went to try something new as her unfaithful husband was also gone, then gets murdered by a pack of vamps and gets brought back to life and literally developed by default a PACK of vamp friends for life so she will NEVER be alone again! Nor will she age, get sick, or die!! Sounds like a win, win!! Sorta..😬 Anyways, LOVED it!!!
though too bad she didn't become immortal in a less out of shape body
Thanks for the spoiler!! Next time can u please put SPOILER ALERT!
@@SimplyASweetHeart next time spot reading when it starts to get sus
@@fostertheperson3918 great advice!
@@morrighanwermarn-arnburg7333 First of all, wow, and second of all, did you miss the part where the Alpha said everyone in the pack “ started out just like you” and gained their vitality back?
The acting was through the roof! What a creative story of letting go and the reality of becoming middle-aged. This film is another beautiful example of the human condition. Kudos!
That's what loneliness looks like... All she wanted was a little attention and appreciation from her family.. Great job with the concept 👍🏻
Thanks ALTER 💓
My takeaway: that a mother’s love is eternal; they will always be here to comfort us and accept us even we may have gone astray
I think mom was thinking about biting her daughter but was interrupted by the others before she did. That’s why she said we’ll be here with you and her looking at the lil girl vamp she realized her daughter wouldn’t age.
I could be wrong but that’s what I got from this...
We have to be careful trying to keep someone under your control. One day it’ll backfire and end up far worse if you would have let them go
Thanks Alter beautiful story
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
R W if her daughter did not age, she would not have children. Remember the grandchild next door and the delight of her parents? Maybe I am wrong.
@@SignedOff402 Well in her case, her daughter is of child bearing age. So her daughter can have kids regardless. I just dont understand the ending, and why they all showed up at her house the way they did.
Am I the only one who thought she actually did bite her
@@ahzar4384 I think it was to show that by inviting all of her vamp friends into her house and letting her daughter go on with her life; She was moving on . In Asian cultures its very common for parents to try and rule over their kids lives even when their kids are fully adults and have families of their own.
@@ahzar4384 I think they didn't want to be vampires in the first place.
But it happened
.
These unfortunate people do not want more people to be like them.
I was looking for a horror film, but I end up crying watching this :'(
I took around 40 minutes to see this film. Kept going back to see the scene again. Actually didn't want it to end. The acting, direction, technical details were superb. The women walking up the stairs was really chilling. Hair still standing! 👍😲♥️
bittersweet story about how a mother's role and life becomes something other after a child leaves.
😫🥺😢 so sad... she couldn't even bite her daughter, she choose to let her go❤
@james Deer so then What was the blood from?
She’s actually a strong momma. She put up with a lot and kept going. Now, she’s at a point where she can focus on herself and that’s hard too but fate helped her out. And hey she’ll be young and vital and out live her cheating husband. She’ll eventually be younger than him too, see bright side😉.
You're sick
@@fedir5931 i think the mother is
✨wholesome✨
That was really good when she was not invited in. I didnt get it at first. I really enjoyed this movie
She let her daughter go and live her life knowing she still has a whole village of daughters to call her own for eternity.
What a great day when you find not only who you are but, simultaneously, that you are NOT ALONE.
You are always alone. Feel your own pain. Who would want to be friends with all those freaks on the stairs just waiting for an excuse to suck ur blood. A horrendous mob...
This hit me in a really raw place. I can totally relate to this mom on all levels (except the vampire part 😉). Very well made.
That was absolutely fantastic! I enjoyed every moment of it, loved the glimpse of Taiwan! The actors were top of the line. This should be a series!! I would binge watch every episode!!
In my opinion, this was an AMZING vampire story, as well as a story of the struggle between Mom & daughter. Well done!
Very well done!!! The irony of the same blood from family, and the the blood sisters of the vampire ping pong group. You would think the mother/daughter relationship is unbreakable, but it is the opposite in this short film. Her social club is her new family now.
There's nothing like a caring and concern mom. I love my mom because shes good to me and everyone around her. Great one alter!
3:42 the cheap ping pong bats in primary school be like
I'd forgotten how fun vampire films can be. Thank you!
The pains of being an empty nester are REAL!
What a beautiful, moving, unique, and original short. Perhaps one of my favorite vampire films (And I'm not a fan of the genre generally). This was a wonderful film, thanks for posting it.
Well, her husband is in for one hell of a night when he comes home
That was one of the best movies/stories I've EVER seen! Perfect! *applause!*
ALTER sneaks in some wholesome stuff from time to time.
Yep
One of the most relatable stories I had ever watched. ❤️
Thank you ALTER for making me appreciate my parents more especially during this pandemic!
I did not see that coming.
Hi from France.... i am altered...and i like it. The shorts from China, Korea, Japan brings us so more to think about our life.... sorry of m'y poor english (or american )
See you again
Alter does it again! I’m not peeling onions , where did the teardrop as hot as the sun come from?
Love that this came from Taiwan! 🇹🇼
I'm here for Hsieh Ying-xuan and this short film is really impressive! I was confused about the ending for a moment but gosh I love how they went there to show her support!!!
"you won't notice even someday when I become ghost" 💔
GREAT movie description, btw! That's how it's done. Just enough info to suck you in but not enough to spoil the film. Hats off to the entire crew!
Omg this was emotional it's like a short story of me and my mom! 😭
And my daughter and me 😭
This was one of the best ALTER films I have seen!! Very well acted and the plot was really original and well thought out. Great job! ❤
This was a weird vampire film. I'm going to rewatch it again after reading some comments about some scenes that I didn't catch on. Thank for another entertaining short and foreign film❤.
This was an absolute delight, such a great take on Vampirism. WONDERFUL JOB!! the entire cast and their acting was so good, you're guy's content never disappoints ☺️👍
I love Alter! From Philippines 🇵🇭 ❤️❤️❤️
🖤🇵🇭
I wish I was born old and mature enough to value my mom more.
Iam 33 now and I started to get a better relationship now.
Never late ☺️❤️
POV: you just came from trespass and it's already a better vampire skit
That lady was suffering from pyschological illness. What she was thinking was a part of a hallucination. I am very happy that that woman got friends because a lady looks beautiful when she has friends and family and not alone . Basically , living alone made her character dull . This tells about the true mental trauma .....
This truth many people go through it but only few people can pass out without any mental trauma like Sir Isaac Newton , Nikola Tesla and Alan Turing....
Video posted 7 minutes ago and people are commenting on how great it was of a story.
*LIKE LMAO AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO IS CONFUSED*
😂😂❤️✌🏻
They trynna get ALTER's attention 😂
She thought about biting her daughter but never did.
That's because of what happens aropund the seven minute mark! I wasn't expecting that at all! It's a great short!
Good point but I think they were trying to get alter’s attention 😅
This is awesome! I didn't read anything before watching this and wasn't expecting what happened! The actors did a great job!
Impressive. I can't wait to be as good as you guy ..I'm also a film maker.
I was actually surprised with her skill she’s damn good.

Alter: The Vampire Horror Channel
We wouldn't be mad at this label.
I love this label
Now that you've put it this way it makes more sense. The niggling voice in my head with all the channels (there are other channels) is to fall back into the vampire plot. Or the cannibal plot. Many many times I just hope that *this* one would be creative. And the next or the next. Yes this is the best of vampire plot shorts I've seen because it takes that plot line and does a *psycho-thriller* twist in the end.
Wait a minute! She turned her daughter into a vampire?? So how is it she she is walking through a throng of them and not be eaten to death? *This makes the short story have a twist ending* .
This also has very little dialogue which makes it more difficult. There is the foreshadowing. The dingy basement lighting.
An old friend? "Well SHE sure looks good!" Then a cut down of it only take skin care products.
And for the record? *That daughter was loathsome to her mother* . I wouldn't blame the mom for actually killing her. (joke)
This was so beautiful, and so truly painful for me on a personal level. I’m currently estranged from my most precious baby girl. It has been over a year since I’ve physically seen her, and in 2 months it will mark a full year since all communication has ceased (she is almost 37). I know she’s safe with a husband who loves her, and that she’s dealing with some things, but my heart yearns for her just about every minute of every day. I have to consciously stay busy and surround myself with people and activity in order not to drown in my thoughts.
So I felt our protagonist’s pain in real time.
Add to that the horror of the vampire, and the knowledge that she will remain the same now, and her daughter will go on without her. Very literally physically in two ways. I couldn’t help wondering if the mother in the Ping Pong Club had turned her own daughter, or if that situation had happened some other way. I almost passed out when I really thought A-Mian had killed, and been unable to resurrect her daughter.
Why did we never meet the horrible husband?
I really enjoyed this one, thank you 😊.
💖🌸💖
The idea of independent life is very alluring but totally abandoning one's aging parents is just selfish. Specially when the daughter in this story knew that her father is cheating over her mother and she's all alone, no financial support...at least at this stage she should have looked after her mother and work out some way to pursue her dreams also and not let her mother die in loneliness...
Very well portrayed social issue....Rather sad....
I just don't understand people who dislike the video
I know. Haters will always hate no matter what it is.
Just *stuuuupid*😃
wow! this was great. i am so glad it is longer than 5 minutes. really enjoyed this short.
I hope they have more vampire short films like this. Beautiful storyline. Very cute mother and daughter. Interesting vampires.
The ending had me very confused asf. Why did the whole horde of ppl show up at her door? And the leader of the pack kept saying...we will be with you. Like wtf?
@Ahzar, I think I also responded to you in your other post, but you said. Its exactly like pack not a herd. A pack like wolves work closely together. They are so close they are in tune with each other and how they are feeling. They all wanted to be there for her when she needed them. They came in solidarity so she would know that she is not alone. That's my interpretation anyway based on what the one who knocked stated.
@@detrajackson5992 Yea she has a new family now.
...thats what happens when people only see the outside of a film, and not take time to let the real meaning sink in
One of the best mother story I've seen, my teats almost literally fall.
Must be nice to have friends...my last friend went insane and lost their grip on reality.
East or west,alter is the best ...love your videossssss
Everything favorite 😍
Wow! Moving.. pivotal. Great job 👍🏼
Teared me up a little. Loved it.
“Please come in” *I’m DEAD* I literally balled out laughing. So random but hilarious.
"The Dollmaker" started me to stream more of what Alter has in store...
Brilliant🤩!! Far to many emotions are stirring for to express in words. ❤️
Great film! Had me tearing up at the end. Bravo!
A tribute to our mothers.... 💓💓💓 she needs love n attention..
I'm touched. Nice film!!
Love you Alter...❤️❤️ This film is awesome and emotional
Now you’re a lot into vampire foreign movies, btw great movie again guys!!!! Thanks a lot
Excellent! Well done everyone involved in the making of this film!
☝️😎
The ending of this was so powerful to me being a mom of a daughter 18 and my son is 18 months and four more in between it’s so hard when things change but we just want our kids happy I’m glad she has all that support!
Who else does this 3:27 every time they’re hurt
This is so beautiful- looks like a full length feature film. (I wish it was!)
Another scary favorite! Thank you, ALTER!!!🙂🖤💀☠👻🧛♂️🧛♀️🦇⚰🕷🕸
Didn’t expect to tear up. Beautiful short film.
Why am I sad watching this? When @Alter usually gives me goosebumps.....
A wonderful film - in all honesty one of the best I’ve seen in a while.
I mean this seems like a pretty good cure to Corona virus 😂
Lmfao 😂
Few seconds in and i saw a standing fan making clicking noise... I'm sold
So many absolutely stellar actors in one film. 🙌🏽
I love Alter!😉
Well done!
Well written, great acting. Happy she found a support group.
We're in a blood thirsty world
Everyone here needs blood
We're the one who bleed
And they are the one who drink
That was beautifully heartbreaking!
You guys should do A Number 2 of this
Took me lil. Wile to act get wats going on bt once i knew wat was happenings i hurriedly put it in my fav list gd job Alter !! 😘
If a chinese film's title is in red color font, it's definitely horror. haha.

Very touching story. One of my favorites so far.
Despite all the variation of horror genres you have, I also like the different places and cultures. Every story is unique and unexpected. 👍🏻
Beautifully done! Bravo!!!!!♥
