Sci-Fi Short Film King Ripple Starring LaKeith Stanfield - DUST
video description
I get the whole Candyman vibe from this. which to me is pretty cool! And I think the setting, music, acting, etc, are pretty awesome! As for the storyline, though, to me, it comes across as just a tad bit silly. FUN and intriguing to watch (especially the bathtub and all, but a lil bit silly.

I think we can do a better job as an audience highlighting what is unique and original rather than pointing out things obviously familiar. This film had a horror edge, set a cool scene that muddles what we know of the present, and gives us a fable that Geoffrey Chaucer would be proud of, let sleeping dogs lie. Then ask ourselves, did we like it and/or were we entertained. The answer to both is yes for me.

The World of Darkness knows the concept of monsters called Nexus Crawlers, surreal beings completely devoid of reason, embodying pure entropy. They are able to change reality in often terrible ways (like, turning someone's bones to mud or the air into liquid metal. This is the closest I've seen a film come to one. Chilling.
I love the resolution! Just in time! :)

Always wished there were movies set in abandoned places like this but I can see why not. toxic mold, chemicals, lead, falling debris, monstrous people, etc
Been fascinated with detritus since. I was about 5. still explore anything I can and it's almost always dangerous. never gonna see brad Pitt there getting scratched with tetanus nails

If people liked this episode and appreciated the concept (and might have believed it was an original concept, they might enjoy watching the 73rd episode (or 8th of the 3rd season) of the original TV series called The Twilight Zone’ (released in 1961, which is also based on Jerome Bixby’s short story It’s a good life’.

Gee, everyone knows he wants solitude. So they pay the consequences of not honouring his wishes to be left alone. Man, this guy is cruel. Reminds me of a Twilight Zone clip where a child has control over everything and can read minds while those around him lived in terror of his abuse and temperament.

reminds me of the Quincy in Bleach who could create anything he could imagine.
He imagined himself to be a monster as powerful as Kenpachi Zaraki, but after he transformed he couldn't imagine how any body could contain such immense power without disintegrating.

I've watched maybe 100 Dust films so far, and so many are great. Only a couple have been bad. This one was awesome! The ending (no spoiler) had me laughing out loud, literally. Not just a puff of air coming out of my nose, an actual laugh. Bravo Dust!

Makes me wonder if his actions would have been the same if she had started to converse with him, instead of asking about her friends. It's just the way he says, Oh right. Your friends. Like, maybe he was willing to open up to someone finally.

I hadn’t heard the best things about this short, and while I’ll admit I have some issues with it, mostly just _some_ of the effects, I enjoyed this a ton! I found quite imaginative: .

Reminds me of the Twilight Zones, It’s a Good Life interspersed with the 90s horror film Candyman. Go ahead Anthony, wish me into a cornfield, just don’t wish me into 2000s Detroit.

This reminded me of a more modern telling of Its a good life by Jerome Bixby. The twilight zone had a pretty good episode of it starring Billy Mumy as the protagonist.

I too was hoping he would spare little Valerie and make her his Queen but apparently the king really does love his aloneness.

This is like a loner mass-murderer supervillain with ability to alter his thoughts or imagination into reality, so scary.

Are we going to ignore the fact that they got Lakeith Stanfield for a short film killing kids in Detroit! He is the best.

Meh. Typical teen horror fare. No! don't go in there! They go in there, and all die. As inevitable as it was absurd.

I agree with the King. Could be a great full length feature. Or, a series better than the repetitive TWD.

Man this could fit right in an SCP film. This could easily be the story of a reality bender going insane.

Hmmm. Detroit made a good representation for this. That gate at the beginning is at the end of Meldrum St.
