some women really enjoy being abused and mistreated! They do all they can to prolong their 'agony'... "if you call the police, your father goes to jail..." "yeah? good!"
Lovely twist of the story. Never ever live with someone abusive. Living in fear and expecting it to get better is not the answer. Nothing is going to change, if he beats you once, he will do it again and again. Tell someone, ask for help or leave. Anything could be better than living like this. ❤
@@ensotao1 where she's on the staircase singing and because Lorne can read energy when people sing he immediately turns around and she falls into his arms because she's been taken over by that ancient goddess chick. Kicked me right in the feels 😭😭 me and my husband both cried when she was finally taken over completely.
The monsters we help create in our kids when we are in an abusive relationship, never stops haunting them. Its hard, but its best to put an end to such exposure as quickly as we can before they fail to escape and become monsters themselves.
So true. I never wanted kids and will never have. I got myself a dog and it's scary how fast I found myself barely under control with rage. It's in me just as it's in my mom and her mom. So this rage will die with me.
Bahahaha. That early “action” sequence with the kid charging at his Dad/Mums Boyfriend was hilariously bad. The aggression and the takedown, followed by a small blip where he hit his head. Comedy gold!
Thought the exact same thing. It was sooooo bad it was comical! They switch to his head "hitting" the table and then he has a bloody nose or head or something. LOL
The mother needs urgent, urgent help! The son may grow up to be psychologically impaired. Thank God there are no other siblings. Domestic violence is absolutely heartbreaking! The victim and perpetrator both are damaged. The acting was good!
Big fan of sci-fi that allegories present and pressing matters - your film really nails the harrowing, reality-bending act that stopping an abuse cycle can require. One of the other (many) things I really love about the piece is how restrained Jack's performance is while both Amy and James are volcanic - captures something true about living with and within trauma and shows real maturity as an actor. Thanks to everyone involved for such great work!
You should never subject your children to abuse. Do the responsible thing to give them a better life. The psychological damage is indelible. There could be a whole host of irreversible things that arise due to domestic violence. In my case I had a father that was abusive and one day, whilst trying to defend my mother we got into a scuffle and he fell, his eyesight was permanently damaged and I have lived with that guilt all my life.
well you wouldn’t have had to defend him, if he wasn’t literally hurting the person he’s supposed to love and cherish. i know it’s a complicated thing mentally, but there’s no need to feel guilty - you were just protecting your mom from a monster.
@@stefanoaccetta4231 no ho capita male. Nella vita reale Amy e il Jason piu Grande (james carpinelli) sono sposati e il Jason giovane (jackson carpinelli) e il loro figlio
The implication is what, that it’s unrealistic? Because it really isn’t. Or are you just siding with the antagonist in that she is ultimately to blame?
Being a nurse or any other occupation has nothing to do with the mental health of a person going through abuse. Abuse can be experienced by any social class
This woman is wrong. I got out of my ex husband's alcoholic abusiveness, my daughter was just 3yrs. old. I was the grounded one, independent, responsible, working 10yrs at a company b4 he came along. Wasnt subjecting my daughter or myself to his dysfunctional stuff. Funny, didn't start until 3yrs. married. Basically, a rollercoaster. Got off the rollercoaster.
Wow that was excellent as a survivor of abuse and now a former drug addict, I understood this movie right away. Because of the mom's refusal to leave the abuser, she has caused her son to become a derelict and a monster as well. My God this was powerful and haunting, the poor kid can't escape his past and the mother abused her son as well. Only thinking of herself and smacking him, that's abuse.
I wish this was a full length movie I have been in love with this type of story for 50 years it is the best short I have ever seen. "Somewhere in Time" was one of my favorite movies I cried so hard watching that it made my heart hurt. I wish I could go back in time I know the exact time that I would go back, bec of a mistake that has ruined my life I've been suffering everyday since.
Don't feel that way. We all have made mistakes, and we have to learn from them. You can't turn back time. No matter what you have done, you can turn it around for good. God will forgive you. That is the most important thing.
AMY ACKER???? LIKE, DEAR SANTA AMY ACKER??? (That aside, fabulous short. I’ve been in a situation similar and it’s incredibly difficult to leave. Even when there is a child involved)
I was in similar situation. Tried to call 911 and he took the phone and threw it across the room and stood between me and the phone. Cops traced the call and came anyway.....and did NOTHING!. Told my husband to spend the night in a hotel or something but he was able to take the house keys with him! I was up all night terrified he'd come back and finish me off. Lesson learned: Cops are useless in domestic disputes. I have since divorced, and am happy and safe.
Wow, wasn’t expecting that! That sucked me in almost instantly until I realized I’d been watching it for over 5 mins or so captivated. It just goes to show how much untapped talent there is out there, & maybe being an ‘influencer’ should stand for more than doing a 30sec dance on TikTok We should be enjoying talent like this, acting, singing, bands etc who have actual talent & passion to offer Loved it, new Kiwi sub from Aotearoa (NZ) 👍🥝🙂
I appreciate that the mother's pattern of behavior was called out so significantly. The end in particular demonstrated that she hadn't actually learned anything from what happened, and was obviously just going to put her son in a similar position again.
Great short film! After watching hundreds (if not thousands) horror and sci-fi films - I failed to predict the twist correctly. My compliments to the che... I mean, directors.
Hey, ya’ll nice short film here. I can tell that it was a real labor of love for you all. I dug the idea of a (possibly) sci fi horror/ thriller. I like to think the Creeper is actually from the future, and not only a manifestation of the son’s trauma. That’s just more fun for me! Anyway, gotta love Amy Acker, what an awesome surprise of casting to have in this unexpected film, she’s stellar!
I would love this as a TV series. It could be where the protagonist was abducted or kidnapped by scientists trying to prevent the apocalypse or something. There must be a laboratory that allows time travel or something, a group of people. Maybe the prospect of changing the future became too daring (the multiverse problem) so he said to himself, if there’s one thing I can change it’s getting rid of that abusive man. Paradoxically he seems in many ways to have become that abusive man. Maybe the two could time travel to different areas where the kid tries to bring out what little good is left in the adult. Anyway, I’ve been rambling. Love your stuff. SUBSCRIBED
Wow, the mom is an amazing actress! Edit: fantastic short, all round btw and based on the other comments the mom is Amy Acker. She's so good in this. Gonna look up her other stuff
Wait... If cutting his finger off also cut the older Jason's finger off how did the bullet not kill him?? Or can it only happen if it is done to the original body???? Otherwise, GREAT short!!!!!!!
Cabin in the woods was good the other t.v shows listed are also good my father is a big fan of person of interest dont know if its still on but he is a big fan as for this this was a good film thanks for posting hey a family that acts together stays together job well done
Is that Elephant Rock? Omg, it is! I grew up just down the street. We walked there many a day. Wow. Deja Vu ❤ And that was an excellent story. I hope you make more!
I know the actress, I think she did "Cabin in the woods" (am I wrong ??) A.K.A one of the best horror movies EVER made (still waiting for the sequence).
even if abuse victims get out of abusive relationships, they tend to get into new ones again (if they don’t get help and break the cycle). so even tho Mom “left” Dad, she could still get with someone just like that, and create a scenario where young Jason is in danger, and older Jason would come back to “save him.”
Hiiii guys! I was inspired to write one of the unprofessional reviews in the history of TH-cam, but please bear with me. I was sent over here by Jonathan Snipes from clipping. to see this short movie. I do not know Jonathan in any manner except music (he absolutely rocks), and taste (if not all, some things that are interesting for him are definitely interesting for me). This is a great short debut! This movie has a strikingly awe-inspiring balance between nostalgia and modern. Some of the worse things could be explained by either low budget, or lack of acting experience. However, the great things are outshining the bad ones, the most paramount of them is really strong script. Production quality only adds up to that nostalgic feeling of watching the not-too-bad-yet-still B movies by being seemingly shot on iPhone or what not:) But even then, I can see the good operator skills. Okay, at this moment, I have a bad cold and should stop writing this review. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, AND I HOPE TO SEE MORE AND BETTER OF YOU!
The cycle of violence is even perpetuated by the mom toward her little hero. Good short!
some women really enjoy being abused and mistreated! They do all they can to prolong their 'agony'... "if you call the police, your father goes to jail..." "yeah? good!"
U have not idea how much hate i felt in that scene. That type of loser weak pathetic women is the worst

Amy Acker is a PHENOMENAL actress. Any millennials that saw "Angel" growing up will remember that ONE scene 😭
Glad to see she's still slaying!👑
🤓
What scene are you referring to? I tend to see her in that cave,writing on the wall.
@@ensotao1 where she's on the staircase singing and because Lorne can read energy when people sing he immediately turns around and she falls into his arms because she's been taken over by that ancient goddess chick. Kicked me right in the feels 😭😭 me and my husband both cried when she was finally taken over completely.
I recall many awesome Fred scenes!
Not to forget root!
I freaking love Amy Acker! Seeing her again makes me want to watch Angel. Hands down her best role as Illyria!
The monsters we help create in our kids when we are in an abusive relationship, never stops haunting them. Its hard, but its best to put an end to such exposure as quickly as we can before they fail to escape and become monsters themselves.

You even got Amy Acker to star in this. 20 years later and she still looks good!
Her irl husband is the actor playing the creeper and the teenager is their irl son.
I thought she looked familiar.
Awww I didn't realise they're a family in real life. What a talented family of actors. I only know Amy from Angel.
“Just help me move him”.
The 2nd worst thing you can do, after hitting him.
what's the first worst thing to do?
@@MaNuLaToROfficial hitting him.
Dunno about the US but in Germany you don’t earn shiii as a nurse lol

Don’t feel guilty. From one survivor to another, I am proud of you. ❤
Ladies the first time he hits you, you PUSH him down the stairs and tell the police he attacked you and fell in the struggle.
what if u don’t have stairs
I love Amy Acker. She was awesome in Angel and Dollhouse!!
In real life she’s married to the guy playing the older version of Jason and they are the mother and father of the younger guy playing Jason
@@TayWoodequindi se ho capito bene nella vita reale Amy Acker è la cognata del ragazzo che interpreta Jason?
Amy è straordinaria ma tutti bravi comunque!
I Love her other Shows Alias, Person of Interest, The Gifted & The Watchful Eye.

Lady was a nurse and stayed in an abusive relationship and subjected her son to psychological helll for "financial reasons"
The implication is what, that it’s unrealistic? Because it really isn’t. Or are you just siding with the antagonist in that she is ultimately to blame?
Happens all the time. Seen it.
Being a nurse or any other occupation has nothing to do with the mental health of a person going through abuse. Abuse can be experienced by any social class
Its awful. So many kids suffer needlessly

I think I need a whole feature film, this concept is SUPER INTERESTING
EXCELLENT ON EVERY LEVEL. CHILDREN ALWAYS PAY A PRICE WHEN PARENTS ARE IN A VIOLENT RELATIONSHIP. THAT IS TRULY HORRIFIC.

I loved the Movie “ somewhere in time “ too . Such a sad movie but so profound. This was a good one !
The sound and acting were phenomenal
Hey, my cousin and her husband wrote/directed this! So glad to see it on yt!
So great to see Amy Acker again. Great story, great film. Thank you!
Never stay with a abusive partner

Me too.
The son is very handsome hope he’s still into acting👍🏻
Wow, wasn’t expecting that! That sucked me in almost instantly until I realized I’d been watching it for over 5 mins or so captivated.
It just goes to show how much untapped talent there is out there, & maybe being an ‘influencer’ should stand for more than doing a 30sec dance on TikTok
We should be enjoying talent like this, acting, singing, bands etc who have actual talent & passion to offer
Loved it, new Kiwi sub from Aotearoa (NZ) 👍🥝🙂
I appreciate that the mother's pattern of behavior was called out so significantly. The end in particular demonstrated that she hadn't actually learned anything from what happened, and was obviously just going to put her son in a similar position again.
Nice. Trying to fix the past does not come without its challenges
Great short film! After watching hundreds (if not thousands) horror and sci-fi films - I failed to predict the twist correctly. My compliments to the che... I mean, directors.
And now I finished the entire thing. This was GOLD! The finger slice instead of the immediate stabbing was the icing on the cake 👌
Masterpiece 😂😂😂
This was so good! I want to see the full movie please, Ha ha.
I remember the actress from buffy and supernatural.
Good job guys!
So nice to see Amy again!
Amy Acker is so underrated actress❤❤❤
agreed, the first thing I saw her in was in grimm. she played in an episode in season one and she was phenomenal.
Lol. 🤣😂
I laughed, i cried i became a part of it… Seriously though I really enjoyed this. Look forward to seeing more from you!
Omg that actress is in this!!!! Shes amazing!! Ayeee

Back again 😊

Wow! Amy Acker involved along with a Jonathon Snipes soundtrack. Top quality.
Cheers, I didn´t know the soundtrack was by "someone". I am listening to the outro thinking how good it its.
Love the fact that you took a real family!
very good！I love the performance of Jason and James!🥰😍
Wow, the mom is an amazing actress! Edit: fantastic short, all round btw and based on the other comments the mom is Amy Acker. She's so good in this. Gonna look up her other stuff
i liked the last scene she did such an amazing job acting in it it looked like a really hard scene
Phenomenal ,y’all are gifted!
2:38 This made me laugh so hard haha. I'm not dogging the film, and I'm sure I couldn't' do better, but it's funny.
Loved it!
great short. good acting
Wait... If cutting his finger off also cut the older Jason's finger off how did the bullet not kill him?? Or can it only happen if it is done to the original body???? Otherwise, GREAT short!!!!!!!
Excellent short! Loved the twist! 👏👏👏👍👍
That was GREAT!!
Was gripped by this, wow. Would make a great full length.
Quite intense from the beginning and the tension quickly escalating from there. A superb psychological thriller and short & sweet!
The ending was chilling. Some aspects were silly but over all it was pretty good. Amy looks incredible.
The acting was exceptionally good in this. By all four.
Outstanding Movie! Looper eat your heart out!
Great short and great performances, loved it!
The acting was phenomenal
You can't sew his finger back on! doesn't mom know about time paradoxes?
Good film.
This is amazing!! What audio device did you use for the dialogue?
Whoa
You brought the HEAT🔥🔥🔥

Cool as!!! Thanks for sharing
Trippy‼️ Loved it ❤
Absolutely epic way to explain how i see quantum entanglement. For the sake of those who know, i love you.
I say got dahm, that escalated fast! It was superb, loved it❤
Highly entertaining! Great job!!

Was very unique story, loved it
Not really. Have you not seen looper?

Amazing film, very powerful message.
Well done Melissa and David. That was great. A superb short.
I remembered so many painful and scary things that happened in the past…. Now it’s a new life. But scars remain forever 😢
Half way through, just as he gives the mom the photo - I realized that it is the teenage boy who ran away and BECAME this man.
Fantastic - why are we not seeing moore of Amy Acker, she is such a wonderful actor!!! :=8D
The word creeper is my friends favorite insult to bad people. Therefore I clicked on this video.😂😂😂
She played in the series Angel, right?
Really good!
Thank you! Cheers!
Aside from the counter booping his nose, I give this a 9
This was reeeeally good! It had me captivated and guessing the entire time. I hope to see more from y'all. Very well done.
Thank you!
