Never have I ever watched a horror movie, or short, and had intense goosebumps the entire time. I was terrified the whole time. Amazing. This was truly incredible honestly. Absolutely incredible work on everyone’s part. This may very well be one of my absolutely most favourite shorts I’ve ever seen. And I’m pretty hard to please for horror! :) <3

You couldn't pick a worse time to take shrooms.
-
If cosmic horror is characterized as "the fear and awe we feel when confronted by phenomena beyond our comprehension" then this thing is straight on, cause I have absolutely no clue what the fuck just happened
-
This short film created such intense feelings in just a few seconds. The idea that two teens accept their inevitable deaths and are waiting for it to come while enjoying the best view is so beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. It's been days since I first watched it and I keep thinking about it. Well done.

HOW IT FEELS TO CHEW 5 GUM

As someone who's taken shrooms and gone for a walk in the woods I can say it's really unsettling when you feel like the trees are trying to lull you to sleep so they can eat you and make you one of them
-
Cthulu called, he doesn't want anything back.

To get a phone call like that would ruin your mindset for that shroom trip

Eating Mushrooms and watching the world end seems like more fun than when I ate mushrooms at a Kanye West concert.

These actresses are brilliant. Amazing cinematography ❤

While on shrooms and alcohol all their misdeeds caught up with them as a cataclysmic event unfurled from the sky, and all regrets poured forth as they realized their misdeeds were never necessary. Within a split second of time they knew what was most important to them as it all melted away. That’s pretty deep.

I really love how this plays on the realistic fear of are we spending our last moments who we should be spending them with? Or did we make the wrong choice
-
Though I can totally see why some people would call this horror, I personally find it to be far more of an abstract drama than anything directly frightening. It is oppressively sad and hearkens back to emotions that nearly everyone has experienced. The fear of losing a loved one, the fear of betrayal, and the fear that tomorrow many never come are all expressed here tastefully, and it all comes together beautifully.

I swear, whenever I click on an "award winning horror short", I don't understand why it's won one.
-
This reminds me of the finality in three other movies: "Midsommar", "Melancholia", and "Annihilation". Basically, the doom of The End. Knowing there's no way to stop or delay it. Just that FEELING. I honestly do not know how I would handle such a thing. That's what makes this short utterly terrifying. And knowing NONE of us can control the End. Damn good short! :>
-
I know they're just actresses...but I feel bad for the girl left behind. Her performance was really convincing.

I could have watched a 90 min version of this and loved every minute. Truly fantastic, suspense, and that wonderful feeling of impending doom.
