Horror Short Film “Special Day” | ALTER

Who came after watching a reel on this short film 😀

her mother's facial expression was scarier than the actual creepy demon.

“I don’t see anything I must be adopted” movie over 😂

The real horror of this movie is the size of that cake. How thin are the slices going to be to share it amongst all those people??!

The acting is top-notch. The family was completely unsettling, and the lead actress uncomfortable and bored. Phenomenal.

Right when she mentioned it moving closer as you die, I knew shit was going to go down because he'd already made a pretty big leap the second time we look out the window.

I guess the earthquake killed the entire family like the house collapsed on them. That would explain why all their sentinels just suddenly appeared behind them.

I think the demon symbolizes that unsettling feeling of getting older and dying. The more older you get, or the closer it gets, the more it scares you. I think the reason why it appears in their 18th birthday is because it is an age that is considered mature. The mind starts thinking about the future more, and that's what made them aware or finally see the demon. It also kinda makes sense that the mother says it's what made them thrive. The fear of dying and growing old pushes everyone to live a life that's worthwhile.

I knew it was not a normal family because they did not sing the awkward birthday song.

"go look" me: exits full screen

I can't stop thinking Who celebrates birthday in that much dark???😭

Why does this look like the MOST DEPRESSING BIRTHDAY EVER

imagine wanting loads of things on your 18th birthday, like a new car or something, but instead you get a terrifying man who is with you for the rest of your life.

I like that every single one of them individually wished her happy birthday in a single file line.

I just don’t understand how a scary demon stalking you until you die somehow makes you successful.

"...like an old Friend" thats actually pretty wholesome

Who's here after getting recommendation from a random reel😅

The Cake: Am I a JoKe To YoU?

I noticed how Emily's Sentinel left the frame and wasn't anywhere near her the moment she entered the door way while the 3 other Sentinels were directly next to their own charges as the earthquake intensified. I don't know if it was intentional but under the presumption that this was an older constructed house being under the door frame might've been the safest place in the earthquake. (This does not hold true for modern houses.) I like to think that she just narrowly escaped death by jumping back where and when she did.

the thing i can't figure out is this: it's implied that the sentinel gets gradually closer over time as your death nears. it really couldn't be any other way. it's been in the family for generations, and if it could go from "he's far away" to "suddenly in your face" then it wouldn't be useful at all, death would sneak up on you as easily as anyone else. so it's weird that there were at least 2-3 people who already had the "gift" who seemed to be completely surprised by what happened. had they just stopped keeping an eye on their sentinel for years? did the sentinel just bamboozle them all, all of a sudden, in a way he never did to their ancestors?
