  • Three young scouts are selected for a prestigious opportunity.
    THE ORDER is used with permission from Chad Cunningham. Learn more at chadcunningham.net.
    Young scouts Jackson, Dustin and Miles are on a camping trip as part of a prestigious opportunity for their troop. It's their initiation into the next, higher level of the organization.
    Subjected to trials of speed, strength and endurance, they struggle to prove themselves and find themselves pitted against one another in order to win. But one of them begins to realize that all is not what it seems with their scouting organization -- and discovering the truth unearths a darker side to both the "order" and the boys than anyone imagined.
    Like many other excellent thrillers, writer-director Chad Cunningham's suspenseful, action-packed short leans on impeccable craftsmanship to draw viewers into its meticulously drawn world and story. What stands out initially in this short film is its incredible camerawork, sound design and score, which all work together to create an atmosphere of suspense and tension that keeps the audience's curiosity alive.
    Smart, compelling visuals and fine performances by its mostly young cast parse out information about the world and characters like breadcrumbs that we -- and the lead young scout, Jackson -- follow avidly. The desire to poke beneath an initially innocuous or placid surface is irresistible to both the scouts and to the audience, and we uncover the secrets about the order just as Jackson does.
    The story itself is a riff on classic themes explored in stories like LORD OF THE FLIES -- the conflict between decency and civilization versus the savagery evoked by rivalry and competition for seemingly scarce resources and rewards. This is rich classical narrative territory, but the film approaches it with energy and self-assured verve.
    The hidden world and secrets are dark, as is its final statement on human nature. But as a film, it's also just a lot of fun, and a sheer pleasure, to watch, using the art of superlative filmmaking to immerse an audience into its story and characters. Its confidence and craft beg for a feature-length treatment to fill out the characters and background, but at its current scale, THE ORDER offers thrills and chills worthy of a multiplex.

      @JediFlavored Soap The times he was a good kid though were usually alone when they wouldn't have been able to take note. That and most of his reactions seemed at least relatively like, well, reactions. Just seems too circumstantial to me and his kindness never really led to anything.

    • @lordsxman
      @lordsxman 4 ปีที่แล้ว +99

      @JediFlavored Soap Nice ideas. It's that smile itself that I have trouble reconciling with the rest of his character given EVERYTHING else we've been shown about his character. That smile came from left field; absolutely incongruent with his ostensible character. Had they planted a seed earlier in the movie there would've been much more of a payoff. Like had the counselors said at the outset: "This Ordeal has been known to bring out sociopaths in hiding." Or something to that effect, then we would've suspected that the Dick kid was the Sociopath/ Psychopath but then the smile at the end would have let us know that our "protagonist" was the Socio/Psychopath all along. That, to me, would have been more satisfying.
      It's the film's job to lay out ALL the clues so that a twist ending makes sense. If they don't that's just bad storytelling.

      @@lordsxman The boys were from all walks of life, they apparently had little in common, but they secretly did- they were all putting on a show. The "Order" needs ruthless people who will do anything, can't do that with a conscience. Each of the boys at the camp was a sociopath, all trying not only to make their way through the trials, but also trying to APPEAR like they were normal, caring humans. The winner proved not only that he was capable, but that he had killed two people and made it look like accidents. He was the monster all along. Every single time he was being "nice" was for show, and he was far better at hiding it than the other boys.

      @@lordsxman Take note of the scene where he breaks the lock to enter the room where they thought they were holding his "friend captive." The files on the table show a picture of a dead boy, he surprised by it but it does not completely shatter his resolve, yet is more intrigue in his own file. I think his quarrel with the "Ordeal" is that he is blind to the process of it. He does not know why and this is why he rebels against it. It's not that his peer disappeared its that he does not like being in the unknown. All in all, a great piece of writing. If it's good enough to keep me or any of us watching for 24 minutes, its good.

    I expect that this organization has very powerful friends and they have a way of fixing things. My suspicion is that 2/3 are always killed and the order now has a way to ensure loyalty. They say to the new member, if you ever are disloyal, you will spend the rest of your life in jail for the murder of the two boys that you killed.

    I think there is an alternate way to see the story which leads to the final smile making perfect sense.
    On the first viewing we assume the main character is a good soul. For example when he talks to the other guys we assume he has concerns and is trying to share it to reassure himself or to warn the others. When he breaks into the chiefs office we assume he is looking for his mate. When he runs away we assume he is scared. And so when he finally smiles at the end we are confused.
    But what if he actualy is motivated to win at all cost right from the start? Then everything makes sense. The thought-sharing with the other guys becomes an attempt from the character to make the others doubt so they give up quicker. The shovel hit after taunting the dude is a way to eliminate a challenger. The intrusion in the office to save his friends becomes just an attempt from him to learn more on the test so he can win (notice how he is more interested in the documents than looking for his friend? + it is not shown what he learns exactly ). Him going backwards to the house after evading the guardians instead of just saving his ass means he gueninely wants to stay in until he wins.
    Very interesting film.

Also why was his friend walking around in the forrest? Also where did the two scout masters lock the first kid and how did he escape....or why did he escape at the right moment when his path will lead him straight to his accidental death by stabbing? What happened to the energy bar? if it wasn't going to play a part in the story why did the filmmaker show the lead cut it in half? also you stated a rule: "you will take a vow of silence" but when the lead and the psycho kid talk back at the scout master they don't get any consequences. Also why should I care about the murdered friend, all the audience know about him is he had a dad and low blood sugar. Also why is the psychopath kid a psychopath?

    It's about how society rewards violence and punishes being good, kind, and compassionate.

The military is very needed for you to be free. They fight the people that aren't taught the same morals as you and me are expected to have. And those people have to put their lives and sanity on the line for us. Thats why it's such a tremendous honor to serve your country.

And where we saw his first push was when he hit the kid with the shovel. The second was killing Dustin, even if it was a accident. From there his mind would be extremely weak to any sort of hypnoction. And that last video is what hypnotized him.

    At 1:08 Scouts Founder David Matthews is talking about a "duty to King and Country." Is that just a cliched expression or an early clue that this film is set in a very twisted alternate version of our Universe? I take the fact that the "Scouting Federation of America" was founded in 1953 and that Mr. Matthews founded it "28 years ago," making the setting of this film in 1981 another such clue. I guess I will find out.

  • @Arcaryon

    SPOILER WARNING
    YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
    The point I would like to make is that I think that through the entire short there were quite a few hints that the kid wasn't all right. He himself says that he wasn't selected for his abilities. He seems however to be a skilled fighter, determined and quite hot headed. When he escalates the situation with the ultra darwinistic scumbag it's the first time we see him doing something vicious - but the thought to spare his food never occurs to him - he just wants to split the bar into rations. He doesn't seem to follow rules (starts speaking) and he was ready to kill to protect his life. Now - I am gonna lean myself out of s window and say that his concern was more his own safty than the one of anyone else - while he first screams, after watching the video and realizing that he is 'safe' he smiles, which is of cause also the big revelation. All of this hints at the setup being very intentional. You take 'promising' people - one could also say ruthless and cold hearted psychopaths into a hungergame esque situation, put them under enourmous stress and see who survives and then recruits the last man standing.
