As a student of post apocalyptic short films, I'll give this one props for being well executed, with respectable acting by the main character. The director escalated the tension skillfully, but the fight scenes tended to stretch credulity and break the immersion. Ultimately, I wish I hadn't sat through the whole thing only to discover that the writer just really needs a girlfriend.
Your poem/statement at the end days "the living are now dying" Reality is you are born dying, actually from the moment you are conceived/alive your dying. Dont fear death it's what makes you alive
Another view is that we are alive as long as we are fertile, in order to continue the species. We begin dying as soon as we can no longer produce healthy offspring. Nature then considers us useless.
This was pretty cool. Acting was wow. The use of the small space was niiice. The unexpected monologue was really well done acting, design, lighting, all of it. The sound/score were excellent. That rare almost unnoticeable enhancement. The portrayal of compartmentalization was so very very good. The main two problems I had were the lack of motivation for Dr Lee to let them in at all, and his killing the team scientist. The latter was dependent on timing which was too inexact to be practical. Also their staying in his apt without investigating any others needed an explanation since it was so illogical. I enjoyed this kudos to your team. 🙂👍☮
Thank you for your detailed constructive feedback. The story was filled as we went along and I think ultimately it shows when you pay closer attention. I'm glad you liked the score from our composer, he is very talented. We had fun making it and hope to do better in the next project =D
BRAVO HUZZAH Lads! Zero Budget Vanquished via Serious Talent! Compelling Script, Acting, Photography and Musical Scoring! With all of the raw Sewage Marx Loving Pedowood er Hollyweird um Hollywood is Spewing out, here is hoping that You get fully funded for a remake of this movie or even better!
Thank you so much for your comment, we also hope that one day there will be a budget and we are able to produce even better content and entertain even more people.
Sorry, But I'm dumb. Can anyone tell me the story / what really happened in this short film ? I watched it twice and I only get that there's a virus and that man is somehow responsible. Plz elaborate some one. Please
Well basically the two CDC agents were trying to track down the source of the virus when their transport was attacked. They find shelter with Dr Lee and ultimately discover that Dr Lee was the one who released the virus.
Great job Rob! I started watching this when you released it and I ran out of time. Anyway I just watched it fully then from the beginning and this is awesome, characters were good for a short film, the plot was brilliant and the lead role really convinced me he was crazy IRL😂 Seriously though great work!
Thanks for taking your time to watch it! Yea our lead Irham Usman is a really good actor. It was tough work getting it done but got there in the end 👍🏻
@@AliensStoleMyCow No problem it was brilliant.. I hope there is talks of a sequel?👀 Cant let the bad guy get away with it!😂 Also, I'm really intrigued to see what happens with the virus.. Was it cured? Is there groups of survivors just getting by out there? And WHAT THE HELL ATTACKED THEM!? I need answers😂
One of the best no-budget short films i have ever seen. Effects: 7 (Shadows and lights aren't the best tbh) Recitation: 8.5 Storyline: 6.5 (There isn't actually a big story, good stuff tho) Great stuff mate, great stuff
Thank you for giving such a indepth review. You're right, a lot of things could have been done better but that's the problem with no budget, it's all compromise.
@@AliensStoleMyCow I don't in that I would always prefer a cleaner image for my own films I think unless I am doing something specifically period. I actually generally prefer digital to film tbh. But I totally appreciate when the aesthetic is done well and I think you have done it well .
Thank you. It wasn't planned out that well. We were mostly just trying to get it finished. It was supposed to be a 1 day shoot and a very small project but we just ended up making it bigger and bigger
My two cents on indie shorts: the most common shortcomings are: too dark, mumbling or quiet dialog and the story moves too slowly. This one had some mumbling but was otherwise fine.
It was very competent. But..."Story is something happening to someone you've been moved to care about..." - Anthony Blond (author & publisher). And I simply wasn't moved to care about any of these young men, ergo there was no story...
It's set in London, which is the most multi-cultural part of the UK. But we should have included a few white people at least. We couldn't find any who would act for free.
Sorry, the way he jumped on his partner w/o question destroyed the whole thing. Too bad - it was looking half decent. Now it's just 23 minutes I'll never get back. That was soooo ridiculously unbelievable! Wish I could give it a million thumbs down. Edited to add: Mr Psycho has a very poor grasp of nature, evolution and biological systems to co be able to come to the conclusion he did. EVERY life form is potentially a natural disaster if they are in the wrong place at the wrong time. A NATURAL disaster. So crazy and ignorant.
@@keepermovin5906 thank you for considering the bigger picture unlike some people who choose to be haters without being constructive. There needs to be more people like you.
Dude the guy who played the psychopath did an amazing job holy shit this actually gave me chills
Irham Usman is a great actor. Glad you liked it!
Intense from the beginning till the end. The scoring is on point with a lot of fine acting compressed into 23 minutes. Well done!
KwaksMusic did the score very talented individual
Yes we have a very talented composer
Nicely done. Shows that no matter what state the world is in...the real monsters will always be living humans.
That is true. As long as there are humans in the world, there will always be conflict.
@@AliensStoleMyCow And where there is conflict, there's opportunity for swords to faces.
And then people can get new faces with the face off machine
Excellent actors! The lead DEFINITELY nailed PSYCHO!
Who said he was acting? 🤣
@@AliensStoleMyCow Well then!!🤣😂🤣🤩🤩🤩
My regards to your entire team, and I look forward to seeing more!

Thank you for the feedback. Some fair points. Just goes to show we always need to improve. A lot of the issues were due to zero budget
A super Short... Great monologue at The End 🍎
All credit goes to Irham Usman for memorizing 2 minutes of dialogue!
@@AliensStoleMyCow + Credit to the writer!
Your poem/statement at the end days "the living are now dying" Reality is you are born dying, actually from the moment you are conceived/alive your dying. Dont fear death it's what makes you alive
Our writer was quite fond of these types of literature =D
Another view is that we are alive as long as we are fertile, in order to continue the species. We begin dying as soon as we can no longer produce healthy offspring. Nature then considers us useless.
@@wilhelmernst7660 It's good to hear the different interpretations of the same text. It reminds us that one mans tragedy is another mans triumph.
Different but captivating..!! 🤗
Thank you, we worked really hard on it 👍🏻
They'll look back on my career, and say this is the thing that made me
We all know that was Calamity Kevin - the film for literally every single person in the world...
@@AliensStoleMyCow I would agree, only because it's co starring a Chinese guy
@@FreshOutMT who couldn't have a more racist name if they tried
Your sik character name
Lol
Staying covert and keeping a low profile are key in any hostile survival situation.

I absolutely love this, well done.

bravo ! Keep up the good work and your ambitions!
Thank you. Will continue to do so.
Keep up to great work. Very impressed. Hope you're submitting it to some festivals
We should really but not sure if it qualifies
Submit it for us, we dont know how!
I liked that a lot, it was well done. I actually got goosebumps at the end.
Thank you Mr Beard. It's not perfect but we did put a lot of effort into it. Hopefully the next one will be better!
@@AliensStoleMyCow don't worry about making it better. Just keep making and you and your crew will always be better. It's like practice makes perfect.
@@fatbeard8072 that's the truth right there
Pretty cool, well done. Guys monologue at the end was impressive ya know
Irham had to memorize all that
@@AliensStoleMyCow impressive, did you memorize your lines too?
@@stickhrk my lines were dying sounds...
@@AliensStoleMyCow every sound was memorized

Sorry for the late reply, sometimes comments don't appear on my feed. There's no sequel but originally there was supposed to be a prequel 😀
One of the best no-budget short films i have ever seen.
Effects: 7 (Shadows and lights aren't the best tbh)

@@st3zz458 Maybe one day we can make films with a budget, but with covid the whole filming industry isn't very good right now...
brilliant plot and great acting ... loved the soliloquy at the end !
Thank you. We tried to keep things interesting with the action and escalation and throw in a bit of art at the end
epic!
Irham really smashed it. Loving the film grain too, is it 16mm grain?
@@Shehroze yes Kodak 16mm. Waaaaait we had a conversation when it was first premiered and you said you didn't like film grain 🤔

Because Mejan is in it?
Outstanding for its class, but I feel like it would be better if there was more explanation of what happened.

Running water? Should have left out him washing dishes.
We tried to stop him but he was too good of a person to leave dirty dishes
If this is set in the UK, where are the white, indigenous, people?

Meh. To much like Ben Affleck, the Accountant...get original
Hmmm that's the first time we've got that comparison. Interesting stuff, thank you for letting us know.
Low level acting,poor level footage.

Everything but the cgi affects was spot on
@@keepermovin5906 unfortunately we couldn't get a VFX artist for free 😭
