While seeking shelter in a roadside motel, Roy is forced outside in order to retrieve medicine for his son, only to be attacked by something monstrous. In order to save his father, Cole must confront the threat that exists beyond their room, but the courage to do so will bring him face-to-face with the terrifying creature that lurks in the darkness.

@YoojinKim-gt5fj

Idk this short horror movie went over my head! I have no idea what was even going on, where did these creatures come from & the ending kicked left me more confused!!

@darkreflection9087

@Ih34rtR3sid3nt3vil

Have to be honest alter makes the best horror films by far

@HannahEvansOfficial

Love your short films

@tarwater27

I had to rewind it at the knocking part...wait..was it 4? Either way, if that was real life, you could forget the inhaler, my heart would have exploded from the anxiety.

@Umm-e-Hani027

Monster and the intensing sound were terrifying me like " Oh my gosh! Don't dady! Don't go out side ". Pheww! Good video, I like it❤

@samir_bapu

What was that??? I didn't get it

@Tammy2Tone

THAT'S how it ends??! Oh, I do NOT like those open-ended, "who knows" type of endings.
