Why is it marked as scifi It has nothing to do with scifi, it is mystic horror genre that has nothing related to science whatsoever. Misleading title of the video. And the whole plot and acting is quite shallow and pointless, full of filler dialogues and prolonged scenes that have no added value. Some funny observations: 1) at 1: 27 that smile and that attempt to mount the guy. Come on, just get a room already. If you try to force some romance line to the film, at least develop it. If it's not about romance, then don't even place it there. 2) abandoned building with unlimited electricity. Who pays the bills 3) the last girl didn't even try to open the door, instead she was talking to the door asking it to let her out. What did she expect the door to do 4) if one kid disappeared, why did they automatically assume something supernatural instead of looking for him Maybe he tried some hide and seek. And when they realized it wasn't a joke, why did they keep using that switch instead of gtfo of there Disliked, too primitive.

Alright this is gonna sound harsh, but I have to say something about this. For starters, it's barely in focus, and the weird motion blur isn't great. What are you doing dickhead no the dialogue sometimes doesn't make sense. White balance, exposure and general cinematography aren't amazing, and the framing cuts stuff off weirdly. The dripping of water at an angle at 13: 10 is definitely a choice. Why are there working lights in what looks like an abandoned building And why would kids be fascinated in the first place with lights just turning on and off It was glaringly obvious that one of them was gonna disappear, or something was gonna happen when the lights turned back on for the last time, how are they just completely nonchalant about the kid disappearing and why would the older girl switch the light off again if she's convinced it's a game. Interesting concept, not carried out very well, didn't feel any tension at all. Feels like a BTEC Media project.

So what happened to them Did they get eaten by the Vashta Nerada or something Go through some portal to another dimension
Ooooh they are gone, that's sooo scary, NOOOOOOT, for all we know they could've been transported to the dimension of 'happy fun time lollypop world' where nothing is ever bad or hurts them & everything they eat tastes like junk food but is always good for them & never makes them feel sick. Just because someone has disappeared doesn't automaticly make it a bad or scary thing, if you want us to be scared of it maybe give us something to be scared of like the last girl get transported into open air where she's now falling into the wide open mouth of a creature with chainsaws for teeth & has the blood of her friends freshly covering its gaping maw or something. Maybe that would make us a bit more scared but as far as it is it's just lame.

This reminds me of when myself and 6 others 'went' into an old mental hospital that had been around since the 1800s and closed since the sixties. After reaching what could have been the temporary morgue at the time, we got spooked and ran out to the door we came in, but it was locked. Two of my friends tried the door, pushing and banging on it, then giving up to say, it's locked! From the outside or something! We can't get out! And I went over to try it myself when I paused at touching the handle, and got this immediate sense it was a game on us all from a spirit. I turned to look behind us, (and spoke to myself - you better open this up now) and then gently turned the handle and the door opened.

It’s about an alien abduction. At first you think it’s the older boy, then you see the little girl. She was the one who was abducted. That’s why In the background you hear the 3 other siblings playing ball. Before the older girl disappears, you can see an actual alien standing on the far right side of the lamp. That’s what the black shadow is. The little girl was abdicated by aliens. Then you really think then you realize it was the youngest brother. Notice how there’s 5 then there’s just 4 in the room.

I think the movie is unfinished. I would have few more minutes - camera showing us this abandoned warehouse (or whatever building it was, we hear the sound of clicking and it disappears, then camera shows us the whole city and we hear a more loud click and it disappears, then the dark side of the Earth with lights on, the sound of clicking - and the whole planet disappears. Then we're shown another galaxy and a loud click - and the Earth emerges out of nothing, its biosphere gone.

I totally lost immersion where they continued after the little kid disappeared. This is completely irrealistic. The older children know how much trouble they get in if the smallest is hurt or missing, so they would start panicing after they cant find him. From that point on the film became funny for me instead of scary.

Well done.
Low tech.
Mood is set.
The unexplainable occurs!
Excellent idea and
reality play in Scary!
The authorities are
still looking for them
till this very day.

I couldn't get past how dumb someone would have to be to see someone, no several people, vanish before their eyes, and not be awestruck or very scared. The looking around and yelling for those who disappeared to come out from hiding just isn't what I'd imagine anyone else doing if they were in that situation.

I'm not sure that I got the idea. but will I be mistaken if suppose that playing with electrical switch in abandoned factory building is dangerous Actually, I am confused about strange reaction of those kids on the fact of light turning on and off. Do they know what is electricity and what is it for

I wasn't scared. I was just touched that other than the rest of the children, only the sweet-looking little girl was innocent and not a freaking bloody bastard, and got trapped in this just because she wanted to spend some time with her so-called sister.

Sorry. This wasn’t my favourite short - I found it too predictable as it followed the and then there were none trope. Still, the setting was suitably scary and I think if it were me, I would have been trying to get out early on. Kids seemed a bit clueless.

And then there were none. Very British handling of the horror film genre. You don't need tons of Hollywood special effects to make a good horror story, just timing, creepy music and camera angles. Well done, although not particulary original.

Very slow build up to a very disappointing ending. How are you supposed to feel any fear if the kids think its regular that one just disappears A bunch of slow build up of kids playing and no build up of fear makes for a quite lackluster film.

I saw this at least a year ago and have held off from commenting. The reason being that in my youth my friends and i were doing exactly the same thing. This vid is my nightmare come to life. And a pretty good one too.

Disturbing.
As horrifying as this is, eternal separation from everything good, eternal separation being on your own from everything good when you had the opportunity to prevent that, is extremely terrifying.

Great! Seems almost more on the horror side, but since we don't know exactly what happened to them I suppose it leaves it open. I love it though.
