"Sometimes when I look north I feel like I'm in church" "Like you’re facing something greater than yourself?" "Like we shouldn't be here" Brilliant.
-
It's a crime against humanity that this has only 72K views. It's a Lovecraftian masterpiece in every way.
-
I love that final shot The way we don't get to see anything, only marvel at the immensity of the deep, and imagine what lays beneath... A truly wonderful film
-
Bravo. Best Lovecraftian film I've seen in quite awhile. The portrayal of slow madness really had me guessing if it was the crew...or the main character that was losing touch. The shoggoth towards the end looked fantastic and just as I imagined them...the eyes appearing and reabsorbing was fantastic. Again well done. I would be remiss if I did not also give a huge shout out to the actors in this project. Your commitment to the moment was true artistry, kudos.
-
I am so impressed with how well you guys pulled this together. Definitely one of the best indie projects I have seen in a long time. My jaw dropped when the monster hit the glass and the fish eyes were appearing and pressing against the surface. Normally I don't like seeing the monster but you guys did it so well that it added to the experience rather than took me out of it, which is better than I can say for 99% of the crap that Hollywood generates. Bravo!!

I have to wholeheartedly agree with everyone who is saying this is some of the best Lovecraft since the man himself passed. I feel like we finally got a small taste of Guillermo DelToros "At the Mountains of Madness" would have been like. Absolutely superbly written, shot, acted, edited, and polished. Myself and everyone on this planet needs much more of this. You win my personal award, which I call The Golden Bloodborne. It's for outstanding lovecraftian media (without being a direct adaptation of any of his stories). You guys get it. I'm going to stop writing now, because I've already rambled enough. Just bravo. BRAVO!!!!
-
This proves that Lovecraft can be translated to film. I hope some studio give you a billion dollars to start producing a ton of movies like this.
-
What a cool short film ! As an avid Lovecraft reader, I love to see cosmic horror based movies. This one really managed to render the paranoia, helplessness, and fatalism of Lovecraft's books imo. The color palette is on point. The actors are very good, and the infinite landscape of the far north sea is really atmospheric
-
Awesome! This short comes the closest I have seen to representing cosmic horror in film.
-
I'm impressed. You could have made a full length film of this. The creepy factor was off the scale. Crazy good Lovecraftian piece of work. Kept me riveted the entire time.
-
Amazing. I was particularly unexpectedly impressed with how good the dialogue was, which is very rare in this kind of genre. "...like I'm in church." "Like there's something greater than you." "Like we don't belong here." That's...just really good writing.
-
I've been on a Lovecraftian/cosmic horror binge for a year or so now, but I'm afraid it ends (or more like culminates) with this movie, because I don't think I'll be able to find anything better than this in the genre out there. Great work, congratulations!
-
This was a really awesome short film. The acting was fantastic. The cinematography and setting were beautifully shot. The atmosphere and sense of dread was executed to perfection. Bravo to everyone involved with this project. You guys nailed it. I'm so glad I stumbled across this gem.
-
Extraordinary.
-
The layers of the story just kept peeling back until the big reveal. I could not turn my eyes away.
-
This film had no right to be this good. You guys nailed it.
-
Let's hope this explodes! Could you imagine this team with near limitless cash to make a full length movie?
-
This was absolutely incredible. One of my favorite short films now! The cinematography was beautiful, and the growing feeling of dread was perfectly handled. The best part about this, in my opinion, is the concept that the ancient beings are hidden in places we thought would never surface. But now that we are destroying our planet...they return. "The ice is melting and the old gods will awaken."
-
Great job, this is probably the closest anybody has come to portraying cosmic horror in movie format.
-
This is an absolute masterpiece why can't we have movies like this?
