Music volume seemed to overwhelm the dialogue. Something that happens with a lot of these Dust videos. Some of the speaking parts were very difficult/impossible to understand, and of course no CC, so hard follow. Also, his use of music/sound effects overwhelmed some scenes completely. I noted it especially when she goes into the house to get medicine. He missed an excellent opportunity to use that sound track to very specific effect when he panned down to the base of the couch and showed the other woman there waiting, instead of playing it throughout the entire scene. He could have ratcheted up the tension much more effectively there. That said, loved the idea. Nothing gets me interested like a good Post-Apocalyptic take. The reveal at the end was suitably creepy.

Extremely interesting short. I was captivated.
If you are open to a few suggestions, it would be great if the viewer could tell if there were other entities, like the one shown at the end, around the world. Though the title suggests IT as in one, I have to imagine that there are more, since there doesn't appear to be open combat taking place (except between citizens. Also, it would be great to know how those huge claws could pick up a tiny human. I suppose I'm suggesting a sequel would be incredible to shed a little light on the machinations of the alien entity.

One of many hilarious examples of post-apocalyptic shows where women have long dyed CLEAN slaggy hair and perfectly fitting CLEAN clothes, Ok it's just a little thing, but I can help noticing it, and it completely destroys the credibility of the entire film.
But it could be worse. I have seen such films where they also have masses of dark eye make up. It turns a serious film into a poor shadow of Spaceballs. And the resultant girlfight into something out of an epsiode of Big Bang Theory or Married with Children.

I appreciated the subtle artistry and your deliberate choices of focal points, and how in effect you made your small budget work for you. The intense creativity of this film so far outweighs the bloated throw-everything-at-it fatuousness of big-budget Hollywood CGI that I feel embarrassed for the big studios. You show them up. I'm not particularly a fan of short movies, they're usually cheap and amateurish, but when they're done well they punch way above their weight. Well done!

I like how the atmosphere is established and the trapped are turning against each other. I like how only at the end do you know what is trapping them all. What is moving is that on one hand the wife is deeply in love yet finds violent strength against another innocent. Also, the husband's illness does a nice job of countering the cliche of the strong-husband protecting wife, by subtly providing a rationale why the wife volunteers to go out. Well done!

So the video goes like this: two men fighting, one kills another, then he comes home and speaks with his girlfriend, after that she goes to another house for the medication for the guy, sees some other girl, they are fighting, our girl kills onother one, and goes back to home to the guy, who is laying in bed already dead then she goes away, fade out. Congrats, you saved about 11 minutes of your time.

Absolutely SPOT ON BRIAN! Great writing, acting, cinematography! The only crtique from my end, and I’m, not a film maker, is the sound effects. They did, follow the mood and the story line, I just found that pipe organ, bag pipe tone, drove me insane. Lol, if I were them, and those were alarms of some kind I’d of died doing everything I could to silence them! LOL, NICE WORK! GREAT STUFF!

Nice movie, but those fighting scenes, they were SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad!
How she makes the other girl run into the wall, was SOOOOOO unrealistic!
Why can't movie makers do this right for ones!
(so frustrating, just like when people fall when someone is running after them, SOOOO frustrating)

I like how she raised the rear sight as she fumbled with the rifle over the girl on the floor. She's unfamiliar with firearms and desperately trying to figure it out in a panic.
I wonder if that was scripted or ad lib. Either way, it was brilliant!

Here's something scary:
America's insatiable blood lust for sickening screen violence and guns, guns, guns.
Hardly any sci-fi here, nothing original anyway. Just another dystopian excuse for fighting. Can't you think of anything new

A note for the director: She practiced with the shotgun right-handed, held it at the ready left-handed while moving in the hallway, then aimed it right-handed at her adversary. No one would switch like that.

Very cool. I think her arguing about her immunity to spores when they discussed who goes out would have clarified his condition in a useful way, but I loved the film even with that ambiguity.

This was scarier than one of last season's episode of The Walking Dead. I really hope that you can make a part two for this or manage to get a kickstarter to finish this as a full length film.

Great production value. Great acting. Great camera work. There needed to be a smidge more to the what and why though. The nameless horror was a little too nameless to evoke horror.

In the 60's movies were and hour and a half to send you into a coma with the monster for 10 seconds at the end. Glad to see Liberals are making progress

Needs CC because the sound is so loud that it gets distorted in the base of it. Couldn't understand most of what was said and I was wearing ear buds.

What's the use of having a quality film if there are no captions. The creepy ads have captions! Some are hearing impaired. I had to stop watching.

When you make movies try not to aggravate ppl with your buzzing noise think it's great. It's not. Good grief. Use some common sense.

The woman practiced with the weapon right handed. Then she carried it left handed until she pointed at the woman on the floor.

Excellent except for the suspense soundtrack. It was just annoying enough to distract me from the otherwise stellar fight scene.

A shame that the thumbnail gives away the entire ending which the director/writer obviously worked hard to protect.

Imo, the alien ship would have been better left out of the story. It really had no bearing on the plot.
