patrol car needed a new windshield at the county motor pool following your visit with Miss Barnes I don't remember Jeff we're just trying to put the pieces together nobody's accusing you of anything I am you think you can come in here and cast the same aspersions on me you did back then and expect different results sure tell me what really happened did you see her did you see what was left of her I

I've always liked the "there's something in the woods" trope.

I dunno why exactly. But it's such a classic vibe for anything horror genre related.

I watched this a couple of days ago, so intriguing!! That ending!! Crazy!!

[u/VeniVidiShatMyPants]

This makes me even more excited for Antlers

[u/modalsoul34]

Can anyone recommend me more shorts like this ? Especially on YouTube

[u/tilfordkage]

It's good, feels like it needs more though. Some short films work great within their time limit. This one, however, almost feels like a teaser of sorts, maybe an extended trailer or something. I still enjoyed it though.

[u/DeviRi13]

I watched this a couple days ago and while the premise was interesting there was just something about the ending that kind of left me feeling very 'meh' about the whole thing.

[u/NashKetchum777]

Guessing another wendigo film?
