An $800.00 budget, and so much better than a lot of Horror movies being released. A Simple story, executed near perfectly. I do hope Curry Barker, and Cooper Tomlinson puts out more material soon. These guys clearly have talent. Thanks for posting.
The budget looks much higher then $800, there's a lot of actors in this, if the budget was that low then what they exploited all these people and didn't pay them? that's not a good thing.
Incredible premise and you guys took it somewhere so creative! That was awesome! and incredible acting from everyone involved, I especially loved masked milk.
this feels like a fresh breath of air for both found footage and psychological thrillers, there was so much lurking under the surface that came together so well!
I give this a 10 honestly. 1 hour never felt so long and suspenseful and the way they went back through the initial story in another perspective is so good.
That also really stood out to me as well. I feel like a good majority of people won't really see the significance of that, but, I've unfortunately known a few people who would've also felt it completely necessary to say the same thing in that situation as well. Not saying those people were also SK's, but it's most definitely a certain personality trait that is exhibited by those that seem a lil mentally off. If someone has to TELL you to say something back like that, when it is SO already obviously implied, due to the possible consequences being completely equal for both involved, that means they are someone who likes to have control over others and does not actually care about your wellbeing, but only looks out for themselves. This scene for example, Milk says he's not gunna let Seven go to jail. He means every word he says, but he doesn't say it because he cares about Seven and wants to protect him. He says it because if he lets him go to jail, then that means HE HIMSELF will ALSO go to jail. He is an accessory and a conspirator to homicide. He would be just as cooked as Seven. In fact, with all the evidence on tape, Seven would almost definitely get significantly LESS prison time than Milk. Cheers and glad you noticed that as well!
Its really awesome because it's milk covering he's one possible problem which is seven turning them in before he's grand finale, by making him promise he's making seven feel accountable for his friends future
@@FilthTribeFTP In my experience, it's not about control. It's about deep insecurity. They need to hear it to believe it. It needs to be said out loud to be real because the implication isn't enough. They want you to say it back so that they know it's reciprocated, an equal exchange of willingness to look out for each other.
@@FilthTribeFTPhe wouldn’t get significantly less. Maybe a few years less on a 150 yr sentence with no parole. He willingly participated in those murders even if he didn’t know it was entrapment by milk. That is enough to get first degree with conspiracy and first degree by willful ignorance/endangerment for the prank murder. Plus a slew of other charges I’m sure.
@@billyford2262 unless he agreed to testify against him and took a plea deal. DA's only care about their conviction rate and getting testimony from a co-conspirator or partner in a crime is always a slam dunk for them. Whatever that plea deal would be, who knows. I doubt it would be some nice little short stint, but he could at least maybe get something that would allow him to be a free man at a much older age.
@lucidstream5661 The others at least gave an explanation i.e. hunting, car accident, but him dancing around an explanation made me extremely uneasy. "It's not something you're supposed to do..." is just so sinister, but they sweep it under the rug because their dear friend wouldn't do something like that intentionally; that's crazy talk. Really natural reasoning. I liked that a lot.
Holy crap. I’m an avid horror fan and it’s hard to find “new” material and storylines these days. This rocked my socks right out of the dryer. Theres no way this doesn’t end up on the big screen, and I’m so happy for you guys!
That’s what I’m saying!! I commented that it needs to be sent to major film festivals (or however that works, lol) They’re the next Key and Peele, and those are HUGE shoes to fill 😅
@@kansasXcityXstealthprobably more like film festivals. They play short films of all different genres, and the Oscar’s has a whole category for the best ones. I think they’ve got a shot! If not now then one day for sure
The way Curry portrays a serial killer is absolutely terrifying. The way his mind works, the nonchalance of holding murder and hiding someones wallet on the same low level, but the intense anger about being called non-creative is so well researched. The off-hand comment about "This is my beating brick" creeped me out more than I can explain. Great Work.
That scene in the car where Milk just calmly explains how Link and Naomi are “safe” because they’re his friends is chilling in how casually he can justify that he’s a good person. Pure sociopathic shit
Seven - "that's tough." Milk - "yeah." I could see how he was thinking about how tough it was for a kid to kill a cat and not that it's tough to deal with that like seven meant.
Why does Curry have the innate ability to stare into the depth of my soul. Loved this so much. An hour went by in what seemed like 20 mins. Such good pacing
This kid's going places. Hollywood, San Quinton, kinda places . Brilliant. Doesn't even have a million view what the fuck Yt? It's the little details that make it immersive. Bc no one goes by Steve when they're 24, do they? No, he goes by Seven. And marshal goes by milk I love it. It's real. I wonder how much Cooper contributed like if little details such as a name was
Idk, I personally connected more with him because of that. For you to be this good at writing stuff like this takes writing skills of course, but it can also take you making it through some heavy shit. I loved them both in their funny shorts but this gave me a new level of appreciation and respect for him. His mind is amazing to me because of what it can create and how much I can relate to how it does so (the way he portrayed dreams is one thing that I love because it's exactly what I experience), I'm honestly fascinated at how good this content is and how drained it can leave you after watching it, because it feels so real and disturbing. What a good film from this genre should make you feel from making you experience so many things at the same time.
Holy hell, this is the best found footage horror I have ever seen. It outclasses even major motion pictures. What starts as a really obvious and straightforward PSA about Prank Channels Gone Too Far takes an abrupt turn at the end of Act 1, and becomes one of the most genius character studies as everything is recontextualized. Throughout the next 2 acts, we get an agonizingly slow trickle of backstory and build up to a climax that felt so cathartic I could feel every muscle in body unclench. Andy: amazing acting. I fully believed you were an actual internet stranger that sold sketchy shit out of a van, and you just agreed to playing yourself in the film. Gloria: great stunt work. I actually cringed when Milk was beating Lara's head in. It felt so real. Adlih + Sterling: Naomi and Link were the only rays of sunshine in this otherwise extremely dark tale. Seeing them get sucked in at the end only added to the tension and fear. John: I was legitimately worried about Cooper when you went off on Seven. Fantastic delivery. Jonnathon: the switch in tone between Act 1 and Act 2 is unbelievable. I legitimately thought this was going to be about pranksters getting hunted down by an unstable stranger; then it all hit home watching Greg go from a friendly actor who's jazzed about participating in lighthearted pranks to someone who is getting extremely uncomfortable with the prankster's methods. Cooper: you brought Seven to life in a way that is really hard to do. Not once did I ever feel like I was watching 2 friends tell the story of a demented friendship between two fictional characters. Being the straight man in horror is just as impressive, if not more so, than doing so in comedy; it's too tempting to get sucked into the delightfully unhinged performance of a psychopathic serial killer. Seven was also extremely sympathetic in a unique way: he never shows weakness that makes him pathetic, but he does unravel in a way that's completely understandable, the way that someone with empathy would. Every tear, every violent outburst, and the complete despair in the bathtub at the end were so amazingly well done that I would have believed you had to actually kill someone off camera to get that kind of performance. Curry: There are 2 types of people who are talented geniuses enough to not only get away with writing, directing, acting AND scoring, but make one of the most intense and memorable works I've ever seen while doing all of the above. I sincerely hope you treat your cast and crew well and have healthy friendships, and aren't another tortured genius that excels at his craft but sucks at interpersonal dynamics. All the above praise goes to you as well for writing and directing those characters. Milk is a chilling character; it doesn't ever feel like you overdo the whole "I'm fucking crazy" thing, just a methodical and logical killer whose art is killing. Yet he's unhinged enough that the switch between Act 1 and Act 2 is unexpected (the little hint about killing the cat at the beginning is a nicely subtle bit of foreshadowing though). And it's not easy to play the wild character either: it's a very fine line between too subtle (and boring) and trying too hard, but you manage to hit the mark with every character in all your videos. And did I mention the soundtrack? Perfectly done: not too stale or monotonous that it fatigued my pretentious ears, but not so dynamic or busy that it distracted from the dialogue and action; I would probably actively listen to this album, it's that good at setting an atmosphere. I'll stop fluffing you now, I just wanted to drive the point home that this team has a really special dynamic that allows you all to make amazing films; please keep doing so until you have nothing left to say.
Wow what a thoughtful comment and masterclass in film critique. All I can say is ditto!! Kudos for putting this together and capturing what we all feel, but struggle to express/quantify about why the film was so great. Loved every minute. Yes please keep creating!
I love how at the first of the movie it starts off with seven saying "You're my partner in crime". Im going to watch it all again right now. I bet there are so many hidden gems throughout. Amazing job Curry and everyone who made this happen. Just incredible
Also when Milk says he'd never hurt his friends he is being truthful whether it be argued that he wasn't sevens friend or because he's not physically doing anything to him
@@kmcgwhoisalsoapoliwrath3723Milk was his favorite though, and he was planning on killing milk even before he changed it to making milk commit suicide, so even his own faulty justification falls apart.
I legit found the name of the movie from a person on tiktok saying that this short movie is better than the majority of horror movies that's been done and are currently coming out. I fucking love it. Now imma binge watch your stuff. You definitely got a fan
Honestly idk what anyone's talking about this movie like there actually acting like this movies some extraordinary horror piece. Like it's ok but some reason a lil sketchy like there's been previous movies too similar to this one and articles I've read praising it and all that, it really ain't nothing new it's something kinda great about the director having done so much he deserves plenty credit I agree with that and anyone on this movies dick need to stop cuz the story is just ok it's not bad not some brilliant short better then most these horror movies this past year and this year cuz that's definitely not true😊
@@chriswood922 I would have to disagree, from sketch artists this is pretty good! To be able to follow through without breaking the pacing or feel of it like that is impressive.
Holy shit this was the best one yet Curry! This was genuinely disturbing in a lot of parts and it flowed well as a movie! Somebody needs to fund you guys for a bigger production. Great acting all around too. Cooper nailing it again in yet another one of these fantastic horror films! Seriously flawless work on this one and I loved it! Keep the streak going!
I wholeheartedly agree, looking at what they can do with "just a camera and some friends," a big budget is so deserved, they're one of the only people/creators/directors creating good, original horror content nowadays imo
Clearly it's not really about the funding. Gotta break out of the big studio mentality, man. Independent films become the talk of the world for a reason and a big part of that reason is people relishing to see what can be done with talent instead of money. People get so sick of the opposite.
@@hyperbaroque Yeah I agree. If they ever do get funding for some big project like a Netflix series or something, they should never EVER relinquish complete creative control. It would be kind of curious to see what Curry could come up with if he had big backing.
@@JudgeDrey That was basically my reasoning behind bigger funding. I agree with @hyperbaroque though too. Indy is better than big budget 99.8 percent I'd say. But yeah, with a big budget, I'd love to see what Curry does!
I never leave comments but as a horror fan with 1000+ horror movies under my belt, I have to say this was genuinely great! I am almost never this invested, I've been watching them my whole life (yes even as a baby/toddler-- let's not discuss the parenting fail there) and now I find most films to be predictable or poorly done but this exceeded my expectations! Great job!
Very Awesome comment, now where's your content? 😛I'm subscriber #2, and I look forward to you posting something cool and creative, hopefully soon. Cheers
The fact that curry edited this video and didn’t like hire someone or something like that is mind blowing these people are going to make it far i can already tell
I'm 60 years young. Guys, ...This is the best film I've seen this year.. i was riveted from start to finish. Would love to see what you could do with a Hollywood budget. Curry, well done. $800 budget....wow. Shout out to Andrew Klavan for turning me on to your film.
That was an good movie.i haven't seen a good movie in a long time or sit this long engrossed in one I have ADHD and I'm I'm old good job! I love found footage movies the best but you one!
@@beehatesyou Smart? Capable of critical thinking? Capable of figuring out that someone who sounds like a child with a 2 year old youtube account probably isn't 60? Someone who thinks it's childish to assume age adds validity to your argument? Someone who thinks that saying this is "the best thing they've seen this year" is hyperbolic and dumb when there's WAY better stuff that came out this year like Talk To Me or Late Night With The Devil?
My first exposure to That's a Bad Idea was their other short horror film 'WARNINGS' and that was such a banger that I subscribed. I was so thrown off for several months with their comedy, which is not to say that it isn't clever, refreshing, and hilarious. That being said, its so nice to see them go back to horror with another creepy, unpredictable, and suspenseful film.
The pacing and unravelling of this story was so well done, I was GRIPPED! The performances were strong. The whole notion of a serial killer with a see-through mask is *chef's kiss*
I just finished watching Milk & Serial and I was completely blown away! The atmosphere, suspense, and creativity behind this film is amazing. Despite the limited resources, they managed to create an experience that kept me on the edge of my seat. Kudos to Curry Barker and Cooper Tomlinson for such impeccable direction and getting so much out of such a small budget. It's definitely an indie horror masterpiece! I look forward to seeing more from you!
I love how this is put together. It’s really nice to see high quality long form horror without *crutching jump scares. It’s also amazing how the victims and friends aren’t completely incompetent. 10/10 I would love to see more.
Nothing wrong with jump scares as long as the rest of the movie is scary too. But that's the problem for modern horror movies, they're not scary. Too much focus on psychological horror. It's getting boring.
@@wadewilson8011I'd say not too much focus on psychological horror. I mean, the stuff that's getting out is no where near to psychological horror even when they claim to be.
Milk gradually becoming more unsettling was great, I hated Seven in the beginning, but felt awful for him later. Greig's entrance was my favorite. When they find him upstairs at 13:20 .. so good. The whole cast had their standout moments. Reminded me of the more unhinged "prank" channels from the past, particularly Sam Pepper's infamous kidnapping video.
@@honkmandeluxeme to. Iv been wanting to watch it again. Gonna try & wait till Oct. I enjoy their shrts, but the horror is what made me subscribe. Hope to see more
It's a great satire of "prank" channels. Assholes go around harassing and terrorizing people and calling it a prank all the time, so having a literal psychopath run a prank channel and start murdering people as a joke is genius writing.
This is one of the first horror films I've watched in years where I audibly said "My god, wow" right after I finished it even though I was alone. You guys keep up the great work because you're doing a lot of great work.
i like the subversion of the typical "whatever you do DO NOT STOP RECORDING" trope to explain why the camera man continues filming in found footage films making the camera man a content goblin is a good explanation
Oh my god. The emotions i felt during this movie. You did an amazing job. Such an incredible movie. You guys are great actors, impeccable at creating a story. Im in awe. Please continue to create and make great videos!!!!
"What do you mean you don't like it? What do you mean you don't like it?" the best lines from any serial killer. If anything tops that, then it's only "What's your favorite scary movie?"
Jesus Christ, you guys have SERIOUSLY raised the bar. Such a nice twist after twist. I followed you guys for the comedy but this is so well done and who doesn't love horror done well. You guys don't miss, just cornering the market. Comedy, horror, music. Just insane talent
Genuinely one of the best found footage horror movies I've seen. I will be thinking about this for days after watching. Phenomenal job. You guys did better than a lot of people who are hired to do horror professionally
The content being created on this page is on par, even superior than anything coming out of Hollywood or the big box streaming services. From the comedy shorts through the horror shorts and now this remarkable film, the production is unparalleled. Writing, directing, acting, photography, music, effects…all of it outstanding! Kudos!
Don't get me wrong, I've grown to love your sketches. You guys are naturally hilarious. But I found this channel through "The Chair," and I've been waiting ever since for another horror short. Some of the best work I've seen on the horror front. Edit: Holy shit this thing's an hour long??? Oh this is going to be good.
You guys have some scary good talent. This is one of the reasons why I love spooky season. You get to see creators stretch their bounds in ways that would normally make someone ask them: "Are you okay?"
You've got a special talent Curry, never stop creating. You and Cooper make some of the best original content. That scared me and gripped me in ways horror hasn't before.
This is the first piece of horror film that actually scares me deeply. It feels so real like I’m watching actual footage of a serial killer. Very excited to see you more horror from you
@RealHunterRoo idk remember who it was exactly but some kids stabbed a girl to death and recorded parts of their plan and I didn't see all of it but I saw some fo the video (its truly horrifying by the way would not reccomend) and this reminded me a lot at times. Though there were a few points where I think if they had better production value for fake gore or whatever (blood, that one scene in milk's hideout) I think it would be next level. edit: Found it its the murder of Cassie Jo Stoddart (there is nothing graphic, but listening to two boys talk about their plans to murder a friend so casually is horrifying, you can also just read Wikipedia ) th-cam.com/video/ZXRYxhN_Rg0/w-d-xo.html
This is the first? Oww do I have good news for You... there are other horrors from the mind of Curry Barker! If You did not see them then it might not be a bad idea. ;) Top tier stuff, it made me subscribe to this channel.
Curry barker psycho facial expressions are so neat, I’m quite surprised of how good his acting was… you guys have a huge talent and a bright future ahead, can’t wait to see what’s next, loved this movie. You have a new follower now !
Lots of great things about this movie, but extra props to Curry's performance. Holy shit, man. Totally believable psychopath character. The way you flip from normal to terrifying with subtle face movement (why is that specific smile so creepy?!) is top tier
This is so good. Genuinely made me feel more uncomfortable than 90% of the horror/thriller films ive seen. No ott jump scares or gore. Just actual weirdness. 10/10
This was great man. Hope these guys get a big budget and blow up because this was amazing. $800 budget is insane for how good this was. Chris Stuckman sent me here through his review. Thank you
This is the aftermath of the Hotdog Prank video, I see On a serious note, your horror works are genuinely next level! I wasn't expecting an entire hour-long film just here for free. The acting is scarily believable, and I was in suspense the entire time watching everything unravel at the seams. Fantastic work!
You guys are insane at this stuff! Looking forward to another short film from y’all! Everything from the writing and delivery to the screenplay is amazing.
LOVE THIS! Very much an ode/kickback to the 2007 Spanish horror film REC (not dependent on a lead character, interwoven subplots skillfully teased at high-level, synergy, etc.). Bravo!!!
it's a sad testament to studio movies that this short film, probably filmed on a calculator from 2008 and ostensibly involving just 2 characters, was substantially more intriguing than most of the drivel we see on the big screen. huge fan of the comedy shorts, didn't even know about the long-form stuff until just this moment. can't wait to see the others
Nah you just have poor taste and low standards to think this is a great movie. Bunch of ppl in here pretending to like to it seem cultured. Those studios you speak of get the best equipment and work so hard yet these guys half ass it and you applaud them because it's not a Hollywood film. Yall like this just because it's not Hollywood not because it's any good😂
I heavily disagree, There's plenty of truly amazing horror films, Just the western countries have a agenda. But there's so many great horrorying south korean films. Japanese and Chinese film. I've seen some amazing aussie horro films. Look at black myth wukong that game made in china and it's most played single player adventure game ever on steam . Point being you want great and not influenced by politics or opinions then go outside western countries.
I saw this in a review on a best of horror 2024 list. I was very intrigued. And I am very impressed. I’ll have to check out more of your work. Nice work…
Bravo. I was so encapsulated. At first I couldn’t help but wait for the goofy antics. But.. there was none. Amazing writing, scene setups, on the fly acting, camera angles, acting, audio, suspenseful. That was so brilliant. Truly. You bois are onto something fantastic. I can’t believe that this was free to watch. Thank you.
Gotta say, one of the BEST YT movies I have ever had the pleasure of seeing!! Mad props to the actor who played Seven, literally chilling to see his gradual descent into madness, and the actor playing Milk really knew how to keep that creep factor up 🙏
Holy shit. Brand new to your channel. The problem with most found footage films is not sticking the landing and you guys absolutely did that in this film. I’m in awe. You managed to do in an hour what some directors and writers struggle to do in 90 minutes. The tension just kept ratcheting up. I screamed more than once. I watched this on my phone because my WiFi is out and it added to it because that’s where I would watch a crappy prank duo like the characters. Kudos to you guys. You deserve all the praise in the world for this and keep it up. I see amazing things in your future.
I LOVED Milk and Serial! As a horror film nerd, found footage is my favorite sub-genre. So clever, creative, and well-acted. I've been a fan of your comedy shorts for a long time, so this was a brilliant surprise. I see you, white Jordan Peele! Lol
I came here cause tik tok told me too, this was my first introduction any of these creators. This was phenomenal. I loved it and want to watch it again!
I'm a huge fan of this sub genre and damn you guys killed it. Incredible, definitely in my top five. Story, camera work, acting... everything was great.
Curry Barker. Brilliant production, sensational direction, precise editing, unspeakable acting. The part that values quality in Hollywood awaits you. What a filmmaker!
High-quality stuff right here. Very impressed. Sure hope curry puts something on the big screen one day. Dude deserves it. He and Cooper are so good together.
This has to be one of the best movies I've seen in a very long time and it was just made by some dudes on TH-cam. God I hate mainstream media, please keep this up!
Guys, this is crazy!!! I watched it completely immersed from start to finish. I love your skits, but this, wow! You guys are amazing! I can't wait to see what you guys do next!
It was really cool to see some of the bits they do in comedy done in this horror short. Added an interesting human element that made the whole thing allot more compelling.
This horror movie has all the elements of a masterpiece including existential dread, making the view feel insane and genuine good acting. I was blown away by how great the story and acting was and feel so bent afterward. This is one of my favorite 10 horror movies of all time. Keep the originality coming boys.
Twist 1 GOT ME, and then TWIST 2 ! Still watching - yall make horror golden for real 7:40 oh no it’s the guy from The Chair - i am immediately unsettled oh NOOOO! Great casting! Cooper really sold the trauma and devastated crying - yall knocked it out of the park!
I absolutely love how the very last second of the film raises so many questions and leaves a lot of room for interpretation. At least for me. This has been so unsettling and sickening in the best way possible.
Someone wrote how milk was the one that loaded the gun and no one after! He counted the bullets so maybe he put in a blank and knew that Seven would kill himself! Milk is the one that picks up the Camera!
@@krazayboo Well, in the end you can visibly spot blood splatter after Seven shoots Milk, which confirms Milk didn't load any blanks. And in the end you can hear Seven struggling with the gun before deciding to off himself which means all the bullets in the mag HAVE to be live. and you can hear his body drop after the shot, but its almost certain Seven didn't land a fatal shot on Milk because you can hear him breathing in the end which results in him picking up the camera and keeping the found footage format so maybe sheer fucking luck or adrenaline. but then again a squib could be possible but the splatter is something that wasn't present on Naomi's squib it mostly absorbs in the shirt. And you also have the time of death caption which happens as Milk gets shot but that could also mean Sevens death to keep the mystery of "the day they died" either meaning three or two.
@@swiss0.0 He probably used the squib. Milk is waaaaay too smart to have his plan fail just because he was talking to the camera while he knew his victim was in other room. Also the fact that there is nondiegetic music supports that Milk was able to edit his masterpiece.
I too think it might still have been Milk's plan. He could've planned for him to off himself after revealing that he is the killer by shouting that loudly. He reused the squib or bought a new one for the splatter and held his breath, so that it looks realistic when he gets shot. Otherwise Seven might not have offed himself immediately after, if he had any doubt Milk is dead or will be dead soon. Once he heard Seven drop and stop moving we can hear him breathe again as he proceeds to pick up the camera. @@flux9629
Phenomenal!!!!! Curry Barker, did you realize that Milk & Serial are now in the same place of ‘Longlegs’, ‘Last Night With the Devil’, ‘Alien:Romulus’… as one of the best horror movies this year. And I just saying about THIS YEAR, I don’t want to be emotional but this have all to be a revolutionary way in horror History! Congrats Curry! Hope you journey just starting right now with all visibility that you deserve, congrats for all the team too, you guys deserve everything!! Milk & Serial, 2024, a piece of history in horror cinema!
EDIT: I can't believe this only has 30K views. I can't imagine a world where this doesn't go viral. This is better than pretty much any big budget found footage shit. NEVER fail to blow me away. And since The Chair, I've known something like this had to be coming. CURRY, you are a mad man. Like button be damned. This needs a "Fucking Crazy!" button! SUCH A HUGE FUCKIN FAN!!!!
Curry you are so damn good at horror. I’ve been watching horror since the chair and your stuff is amazing. Keep going man you have a gift. Also your acting was on point. When you looked at the camera and said “what do you mean you don’t like it?” Soooooooooooooooooo good.
Was great. enjoyed the ride and have a sick feeling in my stomach after. The shot-reverse-shot for the stand off with old man as a found camera film broke my suspension of disbelieve, but can understand you filmed with a second camera for clarity. Really appreciate the work you put into both the comedy and the horror on this channel
@@honkmandeluxe You can see from the angle of the reverse shot that there is nothing there. The position of the camera is right where curry is. Normally fine in a movie because it's not framed as found footage, but for how much care they take to stage this as all real footage for a youtube channel, this one shot alone took me out. But I agree you could definitely head cannon it as he prepped a big camera floating behind milks head and it's just out of shot if that helps you enjoy the film more.
This is probably a better horror film then most of the stuff made nowadays. It mixes the real world aspect of a serial killer and the fictional world of movies without making it try too hard
This was unreal! I mean I’ve been a horror nerd for a long, long time and I’ve seen a lot of movies, big budget and small and this was out of this world incredible!! Well done!! 👏👏
An $800.00 budget, and so much better than a lot of Horror movies being released. A Simple story, executed near perfectly. I do hope Curry Barker, and Cooper Tomlinson puts out more material soon. These guys clearly have talent. Thanks for posting.
Seriously only $800!!!! 😮
Proof that big budget doesn’t always equal quality film
800 for what? Fine for DUI?
The budget looks much higher then $800, there's a lot of actors in this, if the budget was that low then what they exploited all these people and didn't pay them? that's not a good thing.
@@Lono69 they are thier friends lol
Crazy how Curry can be so funny in all those other videos and then next-level scary in this. Acting insane with insane acting skills
what if he isnt acting tho?
@@SadGuyWhoLikesCats👀
Para mí fue ver a un psicópata tal cual.. magistral!!!
Jordan Peele is who you are thinking of
Right, I found these guys by looking up short scary movies, curry plays a physco with flair
For those who watched the premiere, what did you think?
Incredible premise and you guys took it somewhere so creative! That was awesome! and incredible acting from everyone involved, I especially loved masked milk.
Amazing. Gave me the chills.
Dang this did not feel like an hour. By the end of the premier, I thought only 10 minutes had passed by. Fantastic job!
this feels like a fresh breath of air for both found footage and psychological thrillers, there was so much lurking under the surface that came together so well!
I liked it. No need to ask me what I mean, because I did like it.
I give this a 10 honestly. 1 hour never felt so long and suspenseful and the way they went back through the initial story in another perspective is so good.
"SAY IT BACK"
...that was the best delivery for that piece of dialogue of the movie, just gold!
That also really stood out to me as well. I feel like a good majority of people won't really see the significance of that, but, I've unfortunately known a few people who would've also felt it completely necessary to say the same thing in that situation as well. Not saying those people were also SK's, but it's most definitely a certain personality trait that is exhibited by those that seem a lil mentally off.
If someone has to TELL you to say something back like that, when it is SO already obviously implied, due to the possible consequences being completely equal for both involved, that means they are someone who likes to have control over others and does not actually care about your wellbeing, but only looks out for themselves. This scene for example, Milk says he's not gunna let Seven go to jail. He means every word he says, but he doesn't say it because he cares about Seven and wants to protect him. He says it because if he lets him go to jail, then that means HE HIMSELF will ALSO go to jail. He is an accessory and a conspirator to homicide. He would be just as cooked as Seven. In fact, with all the evidence on tape, Seven would almost definitely get significantly LESS prison time than Milk.
Cheers and glad you noticed that as well!
Its really awesome because it's milk covering he's one possible problem which is seven turning them in before he's grand finale, by making him promise he's making seven feel accountable for his friends future
@@FilthTribeFTP In my experience, it's not about control. It's about deep insecurity. They need to hear it to believe it. It needs to be said out loud to be real because the implication isn't enough. They want you to say it back so that they know it's reciprocated, an equal exchange of willingness to look out for each other.
@@FilthTribeFTPhe wouldn’t get significantly less. Maybe a few years less on a 150 yr sentence with no parole. He willingly participated in those murders even if he didn’t know it was entrapment by milk. That is enough to get first degree with conspiracy and first degree by willful ignorance/endangerment for the prank murder. Plus a slew of other charges I’m sure.
@@billyford2262 unless he agreed to testify against him and took a plea deal. DA's only care about their conviction rate and getting testimony from a co-conspirator or partner in a crime is always a slam dunk for them. Whatever that plea deal would be, who knows. I doubt it would be some nice little short stint, but he could at least maybe get something that would allow him to be a free man at a much older age.
Me in the beginning: I can't believe Curry is playing the normal character for once.
Curry: Let's see the setup. *creepy smiles*
The cat thing gave it away for me. Great movie.
@lucidstream5661 The others at least gave an explanation i.e. hunting, car accident, but him dancing around an explanation made me extremely uneasy. "It's not something you're supposed to do..." is just so sinister, but they sweep it under the rug because their dear friend wouldn't do something like that intentionally; that's crazy talk. Really natural reasoning. I liked that a lot.
Very creepy smiles ❤❤❤
😀
Same @@lucidstream5661
Holy crap. I’m an avid horror fan and it’s hard to find “new” material and storylines these days. This rocked my socks right out of the dryer. Theres no way this doesn’t end up on the big screen, and I’m so happy for you guys!
Too short for the big screen.
You think this will be released in theaters?
That’s what I’m saying!! I commented that it needs to be sent to major film festivals (or however that works, lol) They’re the next Key and Peele, and those are HUGE shoes to fill 😅
@@kansasXcityXstealthprobably more like film festivals. They play short films of all different genres, and the Oscar’s has a whole category for the best ones. I think they’ve got a shot! If not now then one day for sure
Check these guys out! :)
Almost Friday TV
Have y’all seen the movie The Game?
The way Curry portrays a serial killer is absolutely terrifying. The way his mind works, the nonchalance of holding murder and hiding someones wallet on the same low level, but the intense anger about being called non-creative is so well researched. The off-hand comment about "This is my beating brick" creeped me out more than I can explain. Great Work.
That scene in the car where Milk just calmly explains how Link and Naomi are “safe” because they’re his friends is chilling in how casually he can justify that he’s a good person. Pure sociopathic shit
I'm beginning think that It's a
bad thing that i didn't find this
video disturbing even once.
He is a little too good at it
@@martinandersen1351 I think it's only bad if you act and think like him. Lol.
@@martinandersen1351 it was lowkey funny thru out the whole film but incredible acting
Dude's got mad skills. The entire cast is so good. Props to them for creating this amazing movie!
I mean, I knew the dude was a red flag when he casually said he killed a cat when he was a child....great film!!
Fuck you for spoiling shit.
No wonder he had so much friends
Seven - "that's tough."
Milk - "yeah."
I could see how he was thinking about how tough it was for a kid to kill a cat and not that it's tough to deal with that like seven meant.
😮 you know, it explains it, but I wanted to believe it was like an accident
The fact that he was played by Curry Barker was what gave it away for me.
“Life’s unfair…you’re unlucky”
The calmness in that scene is crazyyyy
Right?! That "no. I'm sorry." Fu** Curry is good.
Yeah that was great !!
Yeah that scene was actually fucking insanely golden
what part did he said it?
@@alpatrickmoneda5631 It starts 29:44 or so
Man dude if cooper and curry both do not get the massive elevation they deserve then im gonna be pissed. Most natural actors ive ever watched.
Why does Curry have the innate ability to stare into the depth of my soul. Loved this so much. An hour went by in what seemed like 20 mins. Such good pacing
Yeah great pacing and to keep the feel evolving throughout was great work.
Me too!
I was like, "What? It's over already? But wasn't it an hour long movie?"
It was so well paced that I didn't even realize an hour had passed.
“ From the mind of Curry Barker” that’s what scares me the most. That shit looks so real
This kid's going places. Hollywood, San Quinton, kinda places . Brilliant.
Doesn't even have a million view what the fuck Yt?
It's the little details that make it immersive. Bc no one goes by Steve when they're 24, do they? No, he goes by Seven. And marshal goes by milk I love it.
It's real.
I wonder how much Cooper contributed like if little details such as a name was
clive barker's grandson...lol jk
Idk, I personally connected more with him because of that. For you to be this good at writing stuff like this takes writing skills of course, but it can also take you making it through some heavy shit.
I loved them both in their funny shorts but this gave me a new level of appreciation and respect for him. His mind is amazing to me because of what it can create and how much I can relate to how it does so (the way he portrayed dreams is one thing that I love because it's exactly what I experience), I'm honestly fascinated at how good this content is and how drained it can leave you after watching it, because it feels so real and disturbing. What a good film from this genre should make you feel from making you experience so many things at the same time.
Lmao “This was not part of the plan… HOW DID I FORGET THE FUCKING SHOVELS” was so funny
Also "you're gonna shoot your dick off" lol
Reminds of that one SpongeBob episode
I'm dying!
Yessss that part made me laugh too!
He broke into his comedy character for a second..
I waited a long time before I finally decided to give it a shot. Man. I'm glad I finally came around. Great job, loved it!
"Life's unfair. You're unlucky." This is one that should be in the record books.
fr
"what do you mean you don't like it" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@kellyaustin7487that's what I liked whatttya mean you didn't like eht? Waddya mean yew dead ant lihke eht?
The mask? Such a perfect touch
That "no. I'm sorry." Really got me in that scene. It's almost like he was showing real remorse for having led her to believe it might be a prank.
And the fact he was almost asleep while saying it
Dude coopers acting is one of the best of the moment, and curry’s mind of short films is insane. Loved this film 9.3/10
Did Cooper play Milk if she so I agree
@@dddeleon72 no curry played milk
I agree. 9.3 out of 100
fuck that 10/10
".3" lmaooo pretentious
This should be on Shudder!!! You guys absolutely crushed it with this one!!! 10/10
FUCKING AGREED
Holy hell, this is the best found footage horror I have ever seen. It outclasses even major motion pictures.
What starts as a really obvious and straightforward PSA about Prank Channels Gone Too Far takes an abrupt turn at the end of Act 1, and becomes one of the most genius character studies as everything is recontextualized. Throughout the next 2 acts, we get an agonizingly slow trickle of backstory and build up to a climax that felt so cathartic I could feel every muscle in body unclench.
Andy: amazing acting. I fully believed you were an actual internet stranger that sold sketchy shit out of a van, and you just agreed to playing yourself in the film.
Gloria: great stunt work. I actually cringed when Milk was beating Lara's head in. It felt so real.
Adlih + Sterling: Naomi and Link were the only rays of sunshine in this otherwise extremely dark tale. Seeing them get sucked in at the end only added to the tension and fear.
John: I was legitimately worried about Cooper when you went off on Seven. Fantastic delivery.
Jonnathon: the switch in tone between Act 1 and Act 2 is unbelievable. I legitimately thought this was going to be about pranksters getting hunted down by an unstable stranger; then it all hit home watching Greg go from a friendly actor who's jazzed about participating in lighthearted pranks to someone who is getting extremely uncomfortable with the prankster's methods.
Cooper: you brought Seven to life in a way that is really hard to do. Not once did I ever feel like I was watching 2 friends tell the story of a demented friendship between two fictional characters. Being the straight man in horror is just as impressive, if not more so, than doing so in comedy; it's too tempting to get sucked into the delightfully unhinged performance of a psychopathic serial killer. Seven was also extremely sympathetic in a unique way: he never shows weakness that makes him pathetic, but he does unravel in a way that's completely understandable, the way that someone with empathy would. Every tear, every violent outburst, and the complete despair in the bathtub at the end were so amazingly well done that I would have believed you had to actually kill someone off camera to get that kind of performance.
Curry: There are 2 types of people who are talented geniuses enough to not only get away with writing, directing, acting AND scoring, but make one of the most intense and memorable works I've ever seen while doing all of the above. I sincerely hope you treat your cast and crew well and have healthy friendships, and aren't another tortured genius that excels at his craft but sucks at interpersonal dynamics.
All the above praise goes to you as well for writing and directing those characters.
Milk is a chilling character; it doesn't ever feel like you overdo the whole "I'm fucking crazy" thing, just a methodical and logical killer whose art is killing. Yet he's unhinged enough that the switch between Act 1 and Act 2 is unexpected (the little hint about killing the cat at the beginning is a nicely subtle bit of foreshadowing though). And it's not easy to play the wild character either: it's a very fine line between too subtle (and boring) and trying too hard, but you manage to hit the mark with every character in all your videos.
And did I mention the soundtrack? Perfectly done: not too stale or monotonous that it fatigued my pretentious ears, but not so dynamic or busy that it distracted from the dialogue and action; I would probably actively listen to this album, it's that good at setting an atmosphere.
I'll stop fluffing you now, I just wanted to drive the point home that this team has a really special dynamic that allows you all to make amazing films; please keep doing so until you have nothing left to say.
On behalf of the cast, we appreciate this comment!
@@thats_a_bad_ideathis is so good my dude
Wow what a thoughtful comment and masterclass in film critique. All I can say is ditto!!
Kudos for putting this together and capturing what we all feel, but struggle to express/quantify about why the film was so great.
Loved every minute. Yes please keep creating!
I love how at the first of the movie it starts off with seven saying "You're my partner in crime". Im going to watch it all again right now. I bet there are so many hidden gems throughout. Amazing job Curry and everyone who made this happen. Just incredible
Then he goes "naahh that sounded weird" they never were partners in crime because seven was the victim and milk planned the whole thing
The "I wont let you go to jail" was foreshadowing for the ending.
Also when Milk says he'd never hurt his friends he is being truthful whether it be argued that he wasn't sevens friend or because he's not physically doing anything to him
@@kmcgwhoisalsoapoliwrath3723 I was curious about that comment too.
@@kmcgwhoisalsoapoliwrath3723Milk was his favorite though, and he was planning on killing milk even before he changed it to making milk commit suicide, so even his own faulty justification falls apart.
I legit found the name of the movie from a person on tiktok saying that this short movie is better than the majority of horror movies that's been done and are currently coming out. I fucking love it. Now imma binge watch your stuff. You definitely got a fan
I heard about it on You-Tube.😊
Honestly idk what anyone's talking about this movie like there actually acting like this movies some extraordinary horror piece. Like it's ok but some reason a lil sketchy like there's been previous movies too similar to this one and articles I've read praising it and all that, it really ain't nothing new it's something kinda great about the director having done so much he deserves plenty credit I agree with that and anyone on this movies dick need to stop cuz the story is just ok it's not bad not some brilliant short better then most these horror movies this past year and this year cuz that's definitely not true😊
@@chriswood922 Good grief. Learn how to punctuate.
Anyways, I agree with you for the most part.
Literally same, thanks tik tok
@@chriswood922 I would have to disagree, from sketch artists this is pretty good! To be able to follow through without breaking the pacing or feel of it like that is impressive.
Change my mind: Comedians make the best horror writers…
Grate writers make the best horror movies
For real. Jordan Peele not only makes me laugh, but his movies are out of this world terrifying.
@@dovonni3 hmm definitely not all tho
@@randomland2775 that's what I'm sayin!!
Add Barbarian to the list.
I LOVE THIS SM! Milk's such a 'It's just a prank bro' guy fr. I love how everything spirals so quickly.
Holy shit this was the best one yet Curry! This was genuinely disturbing in a lot of parts and it flowed well as a movie! Somebody needs to fund you guys for a bigger production. Great acting all around too. Cooper nailing it again in yet another one of these fantastic horror films! Seriously flawless work on this one and I loved it! Keep the streak going!
I wholeheartedly agree, looking at what they can do with "just a camera and some friends," a big budget is so deserved, they're one of the only people/creators/directors creating good, original horror content nowadays imo
The problem is, I don’t know if this movie is a genius production or a scary confession to real crimes. The perfect combo!
Clearly it's not really about the funding. Gotta break out of the big studio mentality, man. Independent films become the talk of the world for a reason and a big part of that reason is people relishing to see what can be done with talent instead of money. People get so sick of the opposite.
@@hyperbaroque Yeah I agree. If they ever do get funding for some big project like a Netflix series or something, they should never EVER relinquish complete creative control. It would be kind of curious to see what Curry could come up with if he had big backing.
@@JudgeDrey That was basically my reasoning behind bigger funding. I agree with @hyperbaroque though too. Indy is better than big budget 99.8 percent I'd say. But yeah, with a big budget, I'd love to see what Curry does!
There's something so creepy about the way Milk carries himself when he's around Seven. Seven freaks out while he just sort of tries to blend in.
His blonde eyebrows and dark blue eyes give me Uncanny Valley 😅
He looks like a young Joker
I never leave comments but as a horror fan with 1000+ horror movies under my belt, I have to say this was genuinely great! I am almost never this invested, I've been watching them my whole life (yes even as a baby/toddler-- let's not discuss the parenting fail there) and now I find most films to be predictable or poorly done but this exceeded my expectations! Great job!
Very Awesome comment, now where's your content? 😛I'm subscriber #2, and I look forward to you posting something cool and creative, hopefully soon. Cheers
Make a movie Matilda
The fact that curry edited this video and didn’t like hire someone or something like that is mind blowing these people are going to make it far i can already tell
I'm 60 years young. Guys, ...This is the best film I've seen this year.. i was riveted from start to finish. Would love to see what you could do with a Hollywood budget. Curry, well done. $800 budget....wow. Shout out to Andrew Klavan for turning me on to your film.
Absolutely couldn’t agree more going to be following his for entire career, hopefully
You're not 60 stop lying. This was just ok. Cheezy dialogue and non sensical reactions.
That was an good movie.i haven't seen a good movie in a long time or sit this long engrossed in one I have ADHD and I'm I'm old good job! I love found footage movies the best but you one!
@@Existential_Carouselwho are you to tell someone what they are 💀
@@beehatesyou Smart? Capable of critical thinking? Capable of figuring out that someone who sounds like a child with a 2 year old youtube account probably isn't 60? Someone who thinks it's childish to assume age adds validity to your argument? Someone who thinks that saying this is "the best thing they've seen this year" is hyperbolic and dumb when there's WAY better stuff that came out this year like Talk To Me or Late Night With The Devil?
My first exposure to That's a Bad Idea was their other short horror film 'WARNINGS' and that was such a banger that I subscribed. I was so thrown off for several months with their comedy, which is not to say that it isn't clever, refreshing, and hilarious. That being said, its so nice to see them go back to horror with another creepy, unpredictable, and suspenseful film.
The pacing and unravelling of this story was so well done, I was GRIPPED! The performances were strong. The whole notion of a serial killer with a see-through mask is *chef's kiss*
What does Chef kiss originally mean and where did it come from?
@@wadewilson8011 "chef's kiss comes from the Italian expression "al bacio", meaning that a dish is as good as a kiss."
"Alice Sweet Alice".
I just finished watching Milk & Serial and I was completely blown away! The atmosphere, suspense, and creativity behind this film is amazing. Despite the limited resources, they managed to create an experience that kept me on the edge of my seat. Kudos to Curry Barker and Cooper Tomlinson for such impeccable direction and getting so much out of such a small budget. It's definitely an indie horror masterpiece! I look forward to seeing more from you!
I love how this is put together. It’s really nice to see high quality long form horror without *crutching jump scares. It’s also amazing how the victims and friends aren’t completely incompetent. 10/10 I would love to see more.
Nothing wrong with jump scares as long as the rest of the movie is scary too. But that's the problem for modern horror movies, they're not scary. Too much focus on psychological horror. It's getting boring.
@@wadewilson8011I'd say not too much focus on psychological horror. I mean, the stuff that's getting out is no where near to psychological horror even when they claim to be.
Finally some more of Curry's nightmares!
Love your sketches, but your horror short films are the real deal that made me subscribe.
Would be a great name for a second channel for them
Milk gradually becoming more unsettling was great, I hated Seven in the beginning, but felt awful for him later. Greig's entrance was my favorite. When they find him upstairs at 13:20 .. so good. The whole cast had their standout moments. Reminded me of the more unhinged "prank" channels from the past, particularly Sam Pepper's infamous kidnapping video.
Yeah seven was definitely a bit of an asshoek and irresponsible, but milk quickly eclipses that lol. Still thinking about this film a day later
@@honkmandeluxeme to. Iv been wanting to watch it again. Gonna try & wait till Oct. I enjoy their shrts, but the horror is what made me subscribe. Hope to see more
It's a great satire of "prank" channels. Assholes go around harassing and terrorizing people and calling it a prank all the time, so having a literal psychopath run a prank channel and start murdering people as a joke is genius writing.
@@honkmandeluxeyeah it’s funny how quickly Seven becomes the guy who you’d rather be in a room alone with lol
This is one of the first horror films I've watched in years where I audibly said "My god, wow" right after I finished it even though I was alone. You guys keep up the great work because you're doing a lot of great work.
i like the subversion of the typical "whatever you do DO NOT STOP RECORDING" trope to explain why the camera man continues filming in found footage films
making the camera man a content goblin is a good explanation
It is pretty common in the FF horror field these days tbh
yea u should watch Spree
Definitely
@@alexxismazur9341it has been since the genre’s inception with the Blair Witch Project + Ghost Encounters
Oh my god. The emotions i felt during this movie. You did an amazing job. Such an incredible movie. You guys are great actors, impeccable at creating a story. Im in awe. Please continue to create and make great videos!!!!

"DID YOU FIND IT NON-CREATIVE?"
Actually one of the best found footage films I've seen EVER... nothing comes close to it...10/10
"What do you mean you don't like it? What do you mean you don't like it?" the best lines from any serial killer. If anything tops that, then it's only "What's your favorite scary movie?"

@@kielpogi8062 but who got the blank?

Jesus Christ, you guys have SERIOUSLY raised the bar. Such a nice twist after twist. I followed you guys for the comedy but this is so well done and who doesn't love horror done well. You guys don't miss, just cornering the market. Comedy, horror, music. Just insane talent
Genuinely one of the best found footage horror movies I've seen. I will be thinking about this for days after watching. Phenomenal job. You guys did better than a lot of people who are hired to do horror professionally
Seriously?
The content being created on this page is on par, even superior than anything coming out of Hollywood or the big box streaming services.
From the comedy shorts through the horror shorts and now this remarkable film, the production is unparalleled. Writing, directing, acting, photography, music, effects…all of it outstanding!
Kudos!
Agreed! What a blessing they are to entertainment.
Curry has definitely proven he's a genius with his art and it helps to have friends that are also good actors like it's all gold
Curry, cooper, and the old man were the best actors. The other guys and girls can use some work
Don't get me wrong, I've grown to love your sketches. You guys are naturally hilarious. But I found this channel through "The Chair," and I've been waiting ever since for another horror short. Some of the best work I've seen on the horror front.
Edit: Holy shit this thing's an hour long??? Oh this is going to be good.
Facts
Agreed! The best!
Yup. Really looking forward to this.
They have others too, look through their channel
Check out their short film WARNINGS that came out around Halloween. Genuinely scary and they are both in it!
You guys have some scary good talent. This is one of the reasons why I love spooky season. You get to see creators stretch their bounds in ways that would normally make someone ask them:
"Are you okay?"
You've got a special talent Curry, never stop creating. You and Cooper make some of the best original content. That scared me and gripped me in ways horror hasn't before.
You guys are too good - Far better than MOST Horror movies with multi million dollar budgets.
This is the first piece of horror film that actually scares me deeply. It feels so real like I’m watching actual footage of a serial killer. Very excited to see you more horror from you
Because this is something that could actually happen.
@@thisgustin I’m sure it has. Enough digging around the Internet and you’ll definitely find something like this out there
@RealHunterRoo idk remember who it was exactly but some kids stabbed a girl to death and recorded parts of their plan and I didn't see all of it but I saw some fo the video (its truly horrifying by the way would not reccomend) and this reminded me a lot at times. Though there were a few points where I think if they had better production value for fake gore or whatever (blood, that one scene in milk's hideout) I think it would be next level.
edit: Found it its the murder of Cassie Jo Stoddart (there is nothing graphic, but listening to two boys talk about their plans to murder a friend so casually is horrifying, you can also just read Wikipedia ) th-cam.com/video/ZXRYxhN_Rg0/w-d-xo.html
This is the first?
Oww do I have good news for You... there are other horrors from the mind of Curry Barker! If You did not see them then it might not be a bad idea. ;) Top tier stuff, it made me subscribe to this channel.
August Underground was better.
They deserve so much more recognition this should be in theaters. So much better than movies that have millions more in their budget
In the years of me watching TH-cam, never have I ever commented. This was absolutely phenomenal. Round of af*ckingpplause to this man here.
Curry barker psycho facial expressions are so neat, I’m quite surprised of how good his acting was… you guys have a huge talent and a bright future ahead, can’t wait to see what’s next, loved this movie. You have a new follower now !
Lots of great things about this movie, but extra props to Curry's performance. Holy shit, man. Totally believable psychopath character. The way you flip from normal to terrifying with subtle face movement (why is that specific smile so creepy?!) is top tier
This is so good. Genuinely made me feel more uncomfortable than 90% of the horror/thriller films ive seen. No ott jump scares or gore. Just actual weirdness. 10/10
This was great man. Hope these guys get a big budget and blow up because this was amazing. $800 budget is insane for how good this was.
Chris Stuckman sent me here through his review. Thank you
This is the aftermath of the Hotdog Prank video, I see
On a serious note, your horror works are genuinely next level! I wasn't expecting an entire hour-long film just here for free. The acting is scarily believable, and I was in suspense the entire time watching everything unravel at the seams. Fantastic work!
Hotdog prank video? Which was that
@@socketman9862 A comedy sketch from the same channel titled "Hot dog Prank on roommate goes terribly wrong"
I got recommended this one from Sinister Cinema Reviews. Truly an incredible horror film. 10/10
Same! Love their channel. They watch so many horror movies I never heard of. One of the best horror reviewers going.
10 out of 10? I know to each their own but come on man
55:03 I love how you left that part in, it's an absolute masterpiece, I love the other vids also, but this one is legendary, great work
Him practicing his smile in the camera gave me genuine chills
You guys are insane at this stuff! Looking forward to another short film from y’all! Everything from the writing and delivery to the screenplay is amazing.
wait - what? A full length??? THANK YOU - you guys are fantastic at the making of the moofies. Havent even watched it yet, and im excited
LOVE THIS! Very much an
ode/kickback to the 2007 Spanish horror film REC (not dependent on a lead character, interwoven subplots skillfully teased at high-level, synergy, etc.). Bravo!!!
This was an captivating nightmare. Creative, subversive with just the right amount of subtle humor. Absolutely amazing you guys rock !
it's a sad testament to studio movies that this short film, probably filmed on a calculator from 2008 and ostensibly involving just 2 characters, was substantially more intriguing than most of the drivel we see on the big screen. huge fan of the comedy shorts, didn't even know about the long-form stuff until just this moment. can't wait to see the others
Nah you just have poor taste and low standards to think this is a great movie. Bunch of ppl in here pretending to like to it seem cultured. Those studios you speak of get the best equipment and work so hard yet these guys half ass it and you applaud them because it's not a Hollywood film. Yall like this just because it's not Hollywood not because it's any good😂
"filmed on a calculator" - the editor's prolly crying in a corner after seeing that.
Since when where short films an hour long
Check out the movie seven
I heavily disagree, There's plenty of truly amazing horror films,
Just the western countries have a agenda.
But there's so many great horrorying south korean films.
Japanese and Chinese film.
I've seen some amazing aussie horro films.
Look at black myth wukong that game made in china and it's most played single player adventure game ever on steam .
Point being you want great and not influenced by politics or opinions then go outside western countries.
You really subverted my expectations so many times throughout this movie. You deserve all this love! What an awesome horror experience.
I saw this in a review on a best of horror 2024 list. I was very intrigued. And I am very impressed. I’ll have to check out more of your work. Nice work…
Bravo. I was so encapsulated. At first I couldn’t help but wait for the goofy antics. But.. there was none. Amazing writing, scene setups, on the fly acting, camera angles, acting, audio, suspenseful. That was so brilliant. Truly. You bois are onto something fantastic. I can’t believe that this was free to watch. Thank you.
This.
Who picks the camera up at the end 😮
Gotta say, one of the BEST YT movies I have ever had the pleasure of seeing!! Mad props to the actor who played Seven, literally chilling to see his gradual descent into madness, and the actor playing Milk really knew how to keep that creep factor up 🙏
Milk is Curry Barker, the director. He's in all of his own films. Check out his others. They're amazing!
Holy shit. Brand new to your channel. The problem with most found footage films is not sticking the landing and you guys absolutely did that in this film. I’m in awe. You managed to do in an hour what some directors and writers struggle to do in 90 minutes. The tension just kept ratcheting up. I screamed more than once. I watched this on my phone because my WiFi is out and it added to it because that’s where I would watch a crappy prank duo like the characters. Kudos to you guys. You deserve all the praise in the world for this and keep it up. I see amazing things in your future.
I LOVED Milk and Serial! As a horror film nerd, found footage is my favorite sub-genre. So clever, creative, and well-acted. I've been a fan of your comedy shorts for a long time, so this was a brilliant surprise. I see you, white Jordan Peele! Lol
This is the best Found footage film of the year. Review incoming. This will blow up.
I came here cause tik tok told me too, this was my first introduction any of these creators. This was phenomenal. I loved it and want to watch it again!
Give TikTok a rest. It's pure poison.
“No it’s not a big deal I can get it tomorrow after my shift”
“AHGHHHHH”
hahaha so funnyy xd
my duuudes I'm so proud!! Woooow.... that was reeeealy good actually
I'm a huge fan of this sub genre and damn you guys killed it. Incredible, definitely in my top five. Story, camera work, acting... everything was great.
Nah this is one of my new favorite horror films. This was so well paced and executed . "Hows that for creative" gave me CHILLS
when movies are lower budget it normally takes me out of the immersion but wow i was so invested
Curry Barker. Brilliant production, sensational direction, precise editing, unspeakable acting. The part that values quality in Hollywood awaits you. What a filmmaker!
High-quality stuff right here. Very impressed. Sure hope curry puts something on the big screen one day. Dude deserves it. He and Cooper are so good together.
This has to be one of the best movies I've seen in a very long time and it was just made by some dudes on TH-cam. God I hate mainstream media, please keep this up!
Bro.. I came to this channel from the comedy side of things, but I would have easily paid full movie price for this. This is amazing, great work!
Guys, this is crazy!!! I watched it completely immersed from start to finish.
I love your skits, but this, wow! You guys are amazing!
I can't wait to see what you guys do next!
It was really cool to see some of the bits they do in comedy done in this horror short. Added an interesting human element that made the whole thing allot more compelling.
These guys are gonna blow up with a real wide release film. Mark my dang words long overdue
This horror movie has all the elements of a masterpiece including existential dread, making the view feel insane and genuine good acting. I was blown away by how great the story and acting was and feel so bent afterward. This is one of my favorite 10 horror movies of all time. Keep the originality coming boys.
Twist 1 GOT ME, and then TWIST 2 ! Still watching - yall make horror golden for real
7:40 oh no it’s the guy from The Chair - i am immediately unsettled oh NOOOO! Great casting!
Cooper really sold the trauma and devastated crying - yall knocked it out of the park!
I absolutely love how the very last second of the film raises so many questions and leaves a lot of room for interpretation. At least for me. This has been so unsettling and sickening in the best way possible.
Someone wrote how milk was the one that loaded the gun and no one after! He counted the bullets so maybe he put in a blank and knew that Seven would kill himself! Milk is the one that picks up the Camera!
@@krazayboo Well, in the end you can visibly spot blood splatter after Seven shoots Milk, which confirms Milk didn't load any blanks. And in the end you can hear Seven struggling with the gun before deciding to off himself which means all the bullets in the mag HAVE to be live. and you can hear his body drop after the shot, but its almost certain Seven didn't land a fatal shot on Milk because you can hear him breathing in the end which results in him picking up the camera and keeping the found footage format so maybe sheer fucking luck or adrenaline. but then again a squib could be possible but the splatter is something that wasn't present on Naomi's squib it mostly absorbs in the shirt. And you also have the time of death caption which happens as Milk gets shot but that could also mean Sevens death to keep the mystery of "the day they died" either meaning three or two.
@@swiss0.0 He probably used the squib. Milk is waaaaay too smart to have his plan fail just because he was talking to the camera while he knew his victim was in other room. Also the fact that there is nondiegetic music supports that Milk was able to edit his masterpiece.
I too think it might still have been Milk's plan. He could've planned for him to off himself after revealing that he is the killer by shouting that loudly. He reused the squib or bought a new one for the splatter and held his breath, so that it looks realistic when he gets shot. Otherwise Seven might not have offed himself immediately after, if he had any doubt Milk is dead or will be dead soon. Once he heard Seven drop and stop moving we can hear him breathe again as he proceeds to pick up the camera. @@flux9629
Phenomenal!!!!!
Curry Barker, did you realize that Milk & Serial are now in the same place of ‘Longlegs’, ‘Last Night With the Devil’, ‘Alien:Romulus’… as one of the best horror movies this year.
And I just saying about THIS YEAR, I don’t want to be emotional but this have all to be a revolutionary way in horror History! Congrats Curry! Hope you journey just starting right now with all visibility that you deserve, congrats for all the team too, you guys deserve everything!!
Milk & Serial, 2024, a piece of history in horror cinema!
Longlegs was trash imo
@@therafaelalvarezit was terribly overhyped trash…. I haven’t been so disappointed with a movie in a long while 😩
Alien Romulus sucked
DUDE GET YOUR HEAD OUT THEIR B-HOLES THIS IS GARBAGE
@Ephatas seeing as you're watching this crap...your opinion does not matter. This is a pathetic "film".
EDIT: I can't believe this only has 30K views. I can't imagine a world where this doesn't go viral.
This is better than pretty much any big budget found footage shit. NEVER fail to blow me away. And since The Chair, I've known something like this had to be coming. CURRY, you are a mad man. Like button be damned. This needs a "Fucking Crazy!" button!
SUCH A HUGE FUCKIN FAN!!!!
Dude, they’re going to be very popular. Just give it time. This channel is great.
Dude it's so bad😂
@MarcustheKid2K from the dude whose only video is about drugs? Yeah, that pot has rotted your brain, addict 😂
I wish I hadn't watched this 'til 3:00 in the morning! I'm so creeped out. This was REALLY well done!
Curry you are so damn good at horror. I’ve been watching horror since the chair and your stuff is amazing. Keep going man you have a gift. Also your acting was on point. When you looked at the camera and said “what do you mean you don’t like it?” Soooooooooooooooooo good.
You nailed the suspense. I would have loved to see more of these characters! You could have made a feature length film easily!
Cant wait see this! Your guys shorts are amazing. Hope you get to make a full length
Working on it!
@@thats_a_bad_idea gonna be amazing 👏
@@thats_a_bad_ideano way!! I can’t wait😆
Bro I can’t believe how good this was! I was fully invested 100% the writing was phenomenal. Do more! Especially for Halloween!
Was great. enjoyed the ride and have a sick feeling in my stomach after.
The shot-reverse-shot for the stand off with old man as a found camera film broke my suspension of disbelieve, but can understand you filmed with a second camera for clarity.
Really appreciate the work you put into both the comedy and the horror on this channel
Agreed, it definitely took me out of the moment.
I get people like their stuff, but they won't get better without constructive criticism
My interpretation of this was that milk just had another camera or something
@@honkmandeluxe You can see from the angle of the reverse shot that there is nothing there. The position of the camera is right where curry is. Normally fine in a movie because it's not framed as found footage, but for how much care they take to stage this as all real footage for a youtube channel, this one shot alone took me out.
But I agree you could definitely head cannon it as he prepped a big camera floating behind milks head and it's just out of shot if that helps you enjoy the film more.
Yup, I was also bothered by that scene, but overall Great.
@@nextosI feel you. I think it’s one of few objective flaws with the movie for sure
This is probably a better horror film then most of the stuff made nowadays. It mixes the real world aspect of a serial killer and the fictional world of movies without making it try too hard
I came here from TikTok and boyyy... Glad it was on my feed. This was disturbingly awesome!!
This was unreal! I mean I’ve been a horror nerd for a long, long time and I’ve seen a lot of movies, big budget and small and this was out of this world incredible!! Well done!! 👏👏
