Awesome short film! I love how this and "Road Rage" demonstrate that horror can be effective even during broad daylight. Also, excellent portrayal of the Old Testament Satan, i.e. god's prosecuting attorney rather than foe. The only mild criticism would be the 2 gangstas doing their Theater Major in Da House routine. They both slightly came across as acting students portraying gang bangers instead of legit. The bald gangsta's crisp pronunciation of "Who is it?!" didn't help the immersion.
This is one of the worst Lovecraft stories, but this adaptation does much to improve it. Perhaps a movie is just an inherently better medium for it than text.
@endersgame55 I agree. Lovecraft's "The Terrible Old Man" was a fairly weak story largely because the narrative perspective is too far removed from the action. "Viral" is up close and personal, and much more compelling.
My grandpa can't walk without a cane, seems to have a huge stash of gold, and has that rocking chair.... There's also this one room that we are NEVER allowed to go in at his house.....
This is totally random... but why is there a picture of a native american on his wall in the beginning. I'm a Native American, and I'm pretty sure I was the only one who caught it for obvious reasons. Also... what is the nationality of the guy who kills himself in the end? Just wondering because at the end, he looks like Adam Beach.
@TheAntMonsters I don't think we did. I remember we messed around with those decorative wall things, though, and made them diagonal to make the perspective of the room all weird looking.
i knew this had something relating to lovecraft, you dont even need to know the story to know that its lovecraft, you can just feel it, well i can anyway, this was awesome.
The only thing (and it's very nitpicky) that I didn't like about this one was one of the monster screams used; I've heard that exact soundbyte used for years, the oldest memory is from a crappy Goosebumps computer game!
Freakin love it! I'm so glad you guys are not always using the same actors and locations. Kinda saw the gold twist coming, but I didn't know how. Great stuff.
This is one of my top ten favourite FEWDIOTmovies. It always makes myself think of myself when I have finished viewing it.
I feel as if I´m that invisible spirit whose presence they feel once he notices the 666 symbol - until the show´s over and I have to view the video all over again!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
thats one way to get rid of gangster rappers but seriously you need to set this up more the old voodoo thing doesn't work much anymore & especially with bright lighting where we know those things don't happen in the bright of day.
i really liked the feel and pacing of this one - the sets were all perfect. the old man's room was probably the creepiest part of it for me, it was so atmospheric.
Yes, well. I'm sorry, but the last two videos you've posted haven't been as up to snuff. I still love everything you guys do, but if you've... Wait, this is a homage to Lovecraft, isn't it? For those of you who don't believe me, search Google for the short story,
"The Terrible Old Man" by H.P. Lovecraft.
Plus, search 'Lovecraft' and 'symbols', and you'll get the design that was behind the crippled old man.
Yeah I didn't read teh comments before I watched it but as the kid walked in telling the story I knew exactly what this was based on. This is The Terrible Old Man exactly.
very creative at the end , I though it was going to be all messed up but no you guys did it again, hey it would be a great solution against all this useless "gangsters"
I think the one thing in this vid that was a little cheesy was the "we ganstas thats how we get down up in hear!" I was like rolling on the floor laughin at that.
Predictable, only reason I say this is I personally enjoy guessing things before they happen. You could tell with the gold, it was all gangster jewelery, and right before the break in they both have gold necklaces as well. But love seeing the handicap cleaning up the ghettos! Never the less very good, I assume the guy fakes being a cripple to lure people.
