[garycalgary]

I like it your movie

[MrSir069]

needs to be fluffed out a bit.

[lovelylady203]

omfg! what the fuck is wrong with you?!!?!?!?

[sushidude95]

omg wtf

sry, but wtf

[fediomeansnoodles]

What is wrong with u? LIke the other dude said that is fucked up! Did you have a messed up childhood or sumthin, you know they have therapists for that.

[tkandme]

THIS IS SO FUCKED UP!!!

[tkandme]

dude, ur mind is screwed up! how can u make sumthing like this?? it SUCKS! .....loser.....

[tkandme]

VERY DISTURBING AT END

[TheKappaVFS]

You know what? I'm glad that I got at least one response like this out of this movie. I'll be sure to make my next flick all the more messed up just for you, "tkandme".

By the way, what have you done?

-The Director.

[paulfranke]

gotta love happy endings!

[angelwings202]

hmmm...mr hill talks like my old philosophy teacher...

[foxx104]

I wasn't surprised... there is no suspense at all. the idea is good though. the "taxidermy" scene remind me a lot that one on psycho Norman Bates invites Marion Crane to his office anf offers her dinner

[Lapaga]

wooow... that was so freak! but still.. Great Film!!

[nadiafig]

I have seen this in a short film on IFC years ago. Not original and the dialog and its rhythm wasn't believable.

[TheKappaVFS]

I agree with all of that. Thanks for the criticism. The rhythm of dialog is something I'm still working on. As for the originality, this was something I promised my friend that I'd do when she showed me her short story. I'm sorry you weren't a fan.

[nadiafig]

Don't get me wrong, I still think you are talented. The cinematography did add tension at all the right moments; i.e. the eerie emphasis in the kitchen, the anxiousness in the living room.

[Firefox2143]

Wow, nice work. Freaky, but nice.

[vampr1ss]

That was so f***ed up!!! It was really good though.

[astro15]

...woaw!

[OwningYourLifeNow]

not what i was expecting at the very beginning.

but when he was eating brteakfast and you never heard his wife or see her face, i knew thart was something up.

but i liked it still, a lot.

super creepy.

cool music.

props to you.

[colormejenn]

whoa! this is crazy!!...

[helpig]

moral of the story: even funny innocent looking old ppl can kill!!

[StopTheMadness25]

ugh i thought that was awful...the quality of the film, the acting, the story, just ughh

the lighting makes it look like it was a 50s movie, which bothered me a ton

[Idah0]

thats pretty funny ;]

[Sarah99662]

penis juice

[romeotran14]

feel bad for dat guy. man.

[billytheskidnote]

I love that the creators of this film chose to stay away from "scary" music. That just totally added to the twisted horror element and freaked me out more. Funnily enough you almost couldn't classify this film as horror.

[bengronfors]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

good movie

but AAAAHHH creeppyy

[Jrad963]

this reminds me of the short story "the land lady" almost everything is the same except it is a boarding house, and she poisons the guests.

[NoSleep4Ever]

i'm afraid of my door now ...

[bbnc28]

Oh my goodness! That was interesting.  That's scary! Good job. Keep it up.

[SporkaProductions]

omg i read this story! i was so creeped out.

[TheKappaVFS]

You've read it? where did you read the story?

[givealaugh]

Makes me not want to answer my door anymore. That's scary!

[Zheff73]

That guy is a Jehovah's Witness's worst nightmare.

[Eddy2871991]

wow Oô that was scary. great video

[Sprintcess]

That Old Man Seemed SO Sweet. And Then... Man, That Just Go Wack.

[oscarwz]

Scary...

[sammysamantha]

CREEPY!!!!!!!!!

[KudoYoung]

pretty creepy

[Musicman0024]

That was pretty good, I liked the story and the acting was pretty decent aswell. Story was a little predictable though, overall though very good. Had a bit of a Hitchcock feel to it. By the way, was that shot in 8mm or digital?

[TheKappaVFS]

16mm

[TheKappaVFS]

Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah, I really telegraphed the twist... It was hard to dance around...

And we shot on 16mm film with Arriflex SRIIs

[peachtea20]

OH MY GOODNESS! that was so scary! :o

[sinonora]

I was scared...

any way i knew she was dead from the very beginning

[RedArkn2]

me scared shitless. if a old guy picks up around me any more i think I break his arm.

[WatchOutLady]

Oh lawd, that was weird. I enjoyes it though!

[legendaryshadow555]

Scary stuff. Should have had somthing after credits like somone else knocking or them playing chess.

[TheKappaVFS]

It's been shot but didn't make the final cut due to time...

:(

[PureEvilYoukaix18]

Amazing.

[rafflemonkey]

HAHAHAH. lol

omgomg

hahah i <3 it.

[prettysilly293]

that was a little disturbing lol but it was also amazing. it's too bad it's a short film...I'd love to see it full-length :D

[pcgamerdude]

i knew she was dead when they showed the back of her head but i didn't know she was burnt to death!

mmmmmmmmmm something smells like bacon!!!

[KuuskEinar]

genius

[annyomous04]

that was amazing.

[mantracomp]

nice story, well done. Could you please make one for the pushy phone salesmen? ;)

[KoolBand]

a lot like Roald Dahls 'The Landlady'

[davisville17]

Lol, it's a bit of dark comedy

[powdermilkgonesour]

Teach those damn solicitors

[nickelman2]

He wasn't a solicitor, he was a collector of census.

[ElFuzzyFilms]

omg it reminds me of psyco!

[skybluescientist]

yes, just like psycho!

[aly372]

that was sick but good! scaaary

[capitanFUNK]

awsome

[alyssanyberg]

hahaha thats been done a lot. like in an old story called the land lady

[jordanthecat]

The VFS produces some excellent material, and Corey Janson has produced a winner here.

I'd love to visit with Corey to discuss this film and perhaps play a game of chess or two, but somehow I'm not sure that would be such a good idea...

Five Stars!!!!!

[heath1313]

woah that was creepy! it was filmed very well! and the acting was great too :D

[genzallaz]

haha cool vid... but hows he going to say checkmate ;)

[lmoore85]

Hey, Lloyd Moore, I know that guy. =D

Thanks to everyone that worked on the film, it was a blast driving with the corpse back from Burnaby in the car pool lane. =D

[sashc777]

:O wooaaah thats good ^^ very twisted :P

[NileJoi]

lol! I love the story, but the acting could improve.

[wolverinechic]

whoaa....that was really intense....I still loved it, tho...

[jacpot56]

Pretty good.

Even though it was based on a short story its kind of been done before (I've seen it on Psycho and 2 sitcoms including Sienfeld)

[capemedia]

Great short movie, well done :)

[Franne125]

omg thats twisted

[lordvladamir87]

Very good

[devilpie999]

wow that was creepy i dident like the end but good film

[plastikcow76]

it was pretty obvious early on the william would kill grant... but the build-up was still good.

[omegana]

great... i jumped at the end...

[Treecko99]

I think i soiled myself....but great show nonetheless.

[GlennAxion]

bad acting... directing was also a little poor.. vfs could do better

[fdirector23]

For some reason this reminds me of Alfred Hitchkocks film "Psycho". I'm referring to the dead wife and the kidnap. This is a very good short film. 10 out of 10!

[llthgig]

This reminds me of an episode of something, but I can't remember what show. King of Queens? Or maybe Alf?

[prismalglue]

vfs is great!

[HikarusFire]

that ws...wow *twitches*

[PshIMaDITZ]

Oh my gosh. This was absolutely sickening. I loved it. The old man was so creepy. Completely and totally delerious.

Excellent work!

[koolkillarz]

the old man was an excellent actor. the younger man however needed some work. good show!

[chickendance333]

creepy... im never gonna have that job

[jbest55]

that was really good

[kvordale]

Woah, what the-?  He's nuts!

[Cigotie]

That was really good. It freaked me out at the end when we saw what his wife was. Great Job.

[somnys]

It was obvious what she was before we even saw her.

[SoldOutShow]

Great job. When he slit his throat, I jumped.

[ladex142]

me too!

[ElFuzzyFilms]

SAME HERE!

[vanmac456]

nice!!!

[loser078]

interesting script...i'm not sure if I liked the style of acting. everything sounded a little forced.

[slivian22]

whoah, that was really good. creepy

[slashryu]

o.O cool movie :P

[HustlingVegas]

1st
