Really enjoyed this. A short film for sure, but a fantastic concept, played out well, with a really cool tie-in. I especially appreciated how the film makers made the alien mechs look like more rudimentary and old school versus how they were portrayed in other WOTW works; taking into account the earlier time period-setting of the film, (and the original) and the possibility that the aliens (just like us) are going to have different levels of technological advancement depending on the time period that is the setting. Great job folks!

Good to see someone that understands the spirit of War of the Worlds. While you might have changed the era, you stuck to the elements of the story. I will never forgive Hollywood for that 2005 stinker that shredded the heart out of the story and relied way too much on special effects. At first I was wondering where you were going with this one, but well done on keeping the plot twist until the end. Hollywood could learn a thing or three from screen writers like you

I played Tommy in this production, and really appreciate the great feedback you are all giving about our film. Principle photography was all done in 48 hours back in 2014, and it took years to come out but so great to see all the amazing comments and love from you all. Cheers, Chris.

A really great short story/vignette. I didn't see the conclusion coming before the reveal which is rare enough to be worth mentioning. The performances are very good as well as the editing and cinematography. Punching well above your grade on all counts.

If you ever wake up in this situation, you're very lucky. It means you are finally aware of the fact that you are in a coma, and that you should try and find a way to wake up. I suspect pinching yourself just won't cut it. You'd have to find another way.

The only way to stop warfare is for everyone to join class warfare and take down our rich masters who keep sending our children to war with each other. But the propaganda machine keeps the masses as gullible sheep, so that they don't rise up.

The power of S-F is to cause us to consider ideas, even unpleasant ones. They haunt our thoughts when we're alone, often in the dark, when closing our eyes against them is ineffectual. Well done, you. Thank you.

Our most destructive weaponry, was of no consequence!
But just as we were facing ignominious defeat,
three valiant warriors, rose to our defense:
the bacterium, the virus and the spirochete!

I LOVE IT. Though I guessed it was based on the H. G. Wells 'War of the Worlds' tale when the Man said his name was Herbert. Very entertaining take though. Hollywood should take lessons.

This was good, but why did they get the bandage blood stain wrong, one second it was small then large then small again, it was distracting, I guess low budget but that's no excuse.

The first time I watched it I found it rather boring as until the very end there's no clue what's going on. Rewatching it now is a completely different experience.

He really was a doctor I thought he was a patient pretending. Boy he sure fooled me! I like these characters and Tommy is cute. Interesting twist of the story.

That was brilliant, love it! Great tension building with a minimalistic stage AND a visually impressing finale!
The mad doctor's my favourite though. :-D

Had this one figured out less than half way through, and so glad I was right! WOTW is one of my favorite sci-fi novels.

What a great interpretation of Wells work. Much better than the BBC nonsense put out a few years back.
