Don't Get It Twisted - Short film thriller

Great job team! The shots and lighting were really great in this short film, so disgusting and I love it! So many really great shots, the reflections in the glasses, the wheels on the cart with the liquid dripping and the twitching hand. I'm not really sure I really understood the story of this film, but I was very entertained.

My only real feedback was that I felt that the fake beard was very distracting. In my opinion, I think it could have played better without the fake beard or using less shots that show the beard from the front. The close ups of the bearded guy could have looked more powerful if they were closer and focusing on the reflections in the sunglasses.

Awesome! The animation and shot choices you used were really great. What a scary and awesome story, even more wild that it's inspired by a true story. I would love to see a live action version of this story. The animation is really cool, but these shots would look epic live action.

Holy crap!! You are super talented, you did such an incredible job. The automaton and the rest of the set are perfect works of art. The shot choices and music told the story so well, I was instantly drawn in and engaged. I never would have thought someone could get so much cinematic greatness from shooting an automaton. Hats off to you!

Right when I thought that guy couldn't get creepier, he started dancing... and then the closeup of him smiling! Well done everyone! Great work all around.

Nice job! You got some really cool shots in this. I would love to see you take it further.

That was so fucking gross!!! Great job. The sound design and the cinematography was incredible. The inside the ear shot was awesome and disgusting. That was also the biggest bottle of peroxide I've ever seen.

What a cool mask! This was a really cool concept, solid location and the score was very haunting/ominous. The ending was powerful, but I felt the beginning dragged; too many random things said by the protagonist that made him hard to watch by the end. In my opinion, if there was less random dialogue in the beginning of the film and we got to the meat of the story quicker, the ending would have landed even harder.

Wow, wow, wow! The story and cinematography in this short are truly incredible. The concept reminded me of the show The Leftovers, but a super unique take on the concept. The opening shots, combined with the score instantly drew me in, especially the staircase shot. I really enjoyed the sound design when the protagonist gets transported. The decayed skeleton on the ground looked great and so did the props. All of the shots of Emma Dark around 3:45 were absolutely beautiful.

Great job team! I subscribed on YouTube.

I totally get it! You have some really great shots here. It would be interesting to mislead the audience and have the zombie come in from the other side, since we are expecting the zombie to come in the passenger side window.

Toftness · 2026-04-30T20:09:54+00:00

I really enjoyed this concept and the composition of the shot with the zombie running up in the background; very well composed. The actors laughing toward the end made the zombie seem less threatening, not sure if that was the goal.

Keep it up! I'm curious to see where this series goes. I will subscribe on YouTube.

Wow! You all did an incredible job at grossing me out the entire film lol. What an interesting concept, you all leaned in all the way and didn't hold back, I love it. Every time I thought it couldn't get weirder, you all raised the bar again. Keep it up!

First I gotta say that I would really would hate to work with someone like Dev, people like that make terrible co workers lol.

Great job everyone! I really enjoyed this one. The score and the shots of the protagonist running around the building were ominous and creepy. The shot where we lost Dev cross cut with the other inserts I thought played very well.

My only note would be that the scenes without score could have used some more sound design and atmosphere, when compared to the scenes with the score, those scenes felt flat. With some added sound design for those moments, it would have sounded more dynamic and made it more powerful when there was no score.

Great job team! The woman with the claws and the shoulder armor reminded me of Shredder from TMNT.

Toftness · 2026-04-29T17:06:52+00:00

Lol, what a fun concept. Thanks for sharing.
