  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
  • Mulberry Night is our first horror short film which follows John who lives in a suburban neighborhood with his girlfriend Gina. Gina is working the night shift and John has the house to himself and the events that unravel are eerie and scary to say the least!
    Special thanks to Jonna Jansson for playing the role of Mary Atkinson.
    We recently changed our name from Mountain North to The Bug Pen here on TH-cam.
    Nothing else has changed, still Daniel and Simon behind the wheel!

      Mountain North it seemed like there wasn't much substance beyond the jump scare. Maybe I missed something, but it just seemed like a detailing of him coming home and getting killed by an escapee. I was expecting more somehow.

      Aaron Carson the idea is that the escapee is playing hide and seek without him knowing which is why she pops up here and there. we’re hoping that is gonna be enough build up for the end scene. in the end there isn’t much substance since it’s a short film - we’ll have to leave that for a feature! thanks for your comment and for watching though!

      Agreed! I'm too old for the supernatural. Besides, some humans have done more horrible things than any monster could ever dream of doing. All best horror movies are psychological. They make you think and use your own imagination. We are naturally afraid of the dark because we can't see, who's there. In my opinion, Jaws was the best horror movie of all time.

    In Hitchcock movies the camera guides you through until something happens. The whole approach reminded me of Fatal Attraction and the quiet cinematography of the front of the house before Alex appeared in the bathroom with a knife. Your skills are spot on. Truly well done.

    Ok, officially this is the best horror short film i've seen in a long time.
    The suspense is perfectly handled, the detail level in each frame is admirable, very good acting and the right photography (direction, color, aspect ratio, etcetera).
    Very good direction!
    Thank you very much for giving us this awesome short film!
    Congrats.

      I absolutely agree! It played out very naturally, and because of the lack of stings and building music, the tension doesn't really lull, so it's much more heart pounding! I also love that the information was given after the fact; it made the reveal all the more surprising and frightening. AND the lack of a supernatural element (because I honestly thought there WAS one), really ramped up a rather ordinary night, giving it that unsettling feeling that this truly could happen anywhere and to anyone. It's really refreshing and the shot when it zooms into his face after the shock is absolutely heartbreaking! Spectacular job! 💕 Definitely subscribing!

    7:37 The symbolism by depicting tears overflowing the emotionless eye is sublime, especially within the afterglow of "mandatory" jumpscare imposed on ostensible horror film. That colorless bloodshed -- a phenomenon equivalent to still-growing hairs or nails of the deceased, which is eloquent enough to testify our existence as astride physics and metaphysics -- assures us audience that the man went through an epiphany about the absurdity of life in the nick of small margin btw being stabbed and breathing his last. In that perspective, I'd say even the twofold jumpscare, by the revelation of a mere earthly being as an agent of catastrophe instead of anything in the domain of the paranormal (as apprehended by us audience), contributes in tandem with its contrastively poetic sequel (i.e. the overflowing tears) to the three-dimensional jumpscare with subtle and profound aftertaste, the bluntly cold feel of which is relatable to us contemporaries who live under the shadow of nuclear, climate and singularity crises.
    The colorless bloodshed, the pearl of symbolism even shines vivid red in our mental image. It surmounts not only the ten-minute long duration, but the menagerie of short horror films with its well-crafted device. Kudos to all involved in the production.

    Well done! So suspenseful I could hardly breathe... then, I literally jumped. Excellent that you didn’t have cheap jump-scares or loud, shrieking, pounding music. I think one of the things that got me so engrossed is that I felt like the guy is a nice and gentle man to which no one would want to see harmed. 3:24 - That’s a gorgeous house!

Some people are commenting that the scenes where he's just walking about are 'boring' but these are what make the film so terrifying. I too have been just pottering about at home today; I could easily relate to the protagonist and find the thought of this actually happening quite scary. The sound and lighting are really professionally executed. Good work!

    This is the first horror film to make me scream in SO long, I have become so immune to traditional horror scares and have figured out how to tell between the real jumpscares and the fakeouts. But THIS had the perfect amount of build up, to convince viewers that it was going to be more of an aesthetic scare and then comes at you on all cylinders with that scare.

    This little film succeeded in everything the highest grossing Hollywood horror films failed to produce.. its so well made and your techniques used in certain scenes, redirecting the watcher and hiding the scares in plain site, from the second he steps in the house there's so much creepy tension right to the end which makes the climactic jump scare so pants shittingly effective, it not only made me jump but gave me insane goosebumps like my fucking spidey-sense was tingling..

    I loved it. The reason is that it had a such a surprising end to the story. Though, I would never even leave keys under the mat or leave the door open to anyone. I can see this actually happening to someone, so it had a realistic storyline to me. I love the house. It was huge and it had all these winding around to one room to another room. That was great. I liked the part where he left a tear for his love one because he knew she was next and there was nothing he could do about it.

    Very well done! I've always thought that we humans are a lot scarier than the supernatural.
    ( when was the last time that there was a ghost, goblin or evil spirit on trial for murder? )
    The house, ( inside and out ) was awesome.My eyes couldn't help admiring every aspect of it and that's why I caught every lil nuance ie feet hanging, chic standing behind him. So when she pounced on him out of nowhere, I was still caught off guard. Thought he would win the fight. 😔 😢 😢
    And to see the tears trickle out the corner of his eyes, call back from Gina. Especially sad.

    I loved the cinematography. I loved the juxtaposition of outdoor and indoor scenes. Once I saw the foot dangling at about 2:22, I kept pausing and rewinding the video as I watched to look for more clues -- I was that intrigued. I actually screamed and jumped at 7:43. John's tear at 8:21 broke my heart.
    However, I thought the idea of an escaped mental patient was cliched. Could you think of something a bit more surprising or creative? I'm not good at this, but maybe just a woman who found the house comfortable and wanted it to herself at nights.
    I watched several short horror movies on youtube yesterday, but this one had the most lasting impact on me. I woke up at 3 a.m. to go to the bathroom and there seemed to be a new scent in my apartment, like a flowery perfume. I couldn't identify it. It was hard, then, to get the idea of a strange woman lurking about somewhere out of my mind.

      Dixie Watson Thank you so much for the kind words, we’re so glad to hear that!
      Yeah, I see what you mean and I also agree with you on that a little bit. We want our films to be as original as possible, but at the same time not over complicate things. This script was actually based on a nightmare about a mental patient, so that’s why we wanted to stick with that this time.
      But on that note, we’re pretty sure you’ll enjoy our next short film that we’re working on now! 😬🙏🏼

    I liked it! After noticing her feet dangling you had my attention drawn to places on the screen it normally wouldn't have been. Which takes attention away from the main character which makes you feel as though you're missing something (but in an intriguing way). You creeped me out that's what a good horror movie should do, not just make us jump.

    Holy #$*&!!! I look for any short horror films that I can on TH-cam and this was the first time I was legitimately scared by what some may call a jump scare! Except I don’t know if you can really call it a jump scare since it wasn’t some obvious camera turning around into something cliche. I really like how they sneaked in the explanation of who the "monster" was at the end there. Most short films don’t really explain why the things in them happen, which usually leaves me more confused than scared. Bravo Mulberry Night. Bravo.

    The house is beautiful and peaceful, and it should be a wonderful place to spend the evening. But the strange things that happen start ramping up a feeling of unease. I like the slow buildup of tension (but I do tend to like that sort of thing: some people don't).. The choice of old time music on the TV (cartoons?) is creepy. I think it makes the end more shocking. The end is violent, and startling, and I feel so bad for the guy! We see the bloody knife and a tear flowing down the poor man's face, but not lots of stabbing. I thought this was a highly effective short. It's an old story, the escaped maniac, but that's because it's a good one!
