You’re on Your Own, Kid | Horror Short Film (Award Winning)

Thank you so much to everyone who watched my short film. This film is based on my true childhood experiences but with what I like to call a very Craven/old-school Spielberg twist. Not that I am that as great as either of those Directors, but they were a huge inspiration for my direction. Another film in the festival circuit is coming soon, connect with me! -Mike Matsui

Mother seems like she is mentally ill and the little one is going into foster care.

7:50 fnaf looking ahh thing😭

😪😪

This was such an emotional film for me to watch as its virtually a representation of my childhood … I was born in a squat to drug addicted parents my underage mother, my older dad and his wife (god ive never even talked to anyone about this ever but this film just makes me wanna just let it all out) i qas removed by the social and it took lots of police assistance to get me out of that property and one memory that still gets me to this day and the police man carrying the girl out just brought it all back but i have the same memory of a policeman carrying me out to thw police car where he sat me down on his lap and tried to distract me by letting me talk to a lady down the radio. I apparently wouldn't let go off him when they took me to hospital and he stayed the whole time and wven went down to the goft shop and bought me little pink teddybear which im still attached too to this day. They changed my life and although it was heartbreaking, it was needed for me to have a fighting chance 😢

Is this mean mommy was the monster

I really love this short film, It reminds me of Among The Sleep. ❤

YouTube to penalize mislabeled videos. Nobody wanted a psychological drama about child abuse… my God! I would have skipped straight past this video if it was labeled correctly.

This reminds me of that one scene in LISA: The Painful where Rick tells Brad that he's not fit to raise a kid and, most importantly, "You're not a father. You're an addict." And the sad thing is: There are plenty of "parents" who are like that. Sure, some can change for the better and go clean, but in most other cases, that's all they are. Nothing more, and nothing less.

Bro the ending got me.😢. I can’t personally relate but I knew someone that this happened too and it not a thing to joke about. But what I like is that this short story puts it in the eyes of a young child who probably doesn’t know what’s going on.

Lil kid or not she earned all that scary crap

She let him hit it raw, she didn't had second thought, now she's a single mom, now she's a single mom.

I'm loving the mix of social, and supernatural horror with this short.

I like that one scene where it foreshadows the ending with the dollhouse and toys in front of it with the police cars

What did you shoot it with? (Which Camera?
And on Film or Video?)

this was amazing

Gives me total Among the Sleep vibes and I love it. <3

The cinemography and lighting … it all looks so gorgeous!

I'm confused. So, the mother abused her child???

there is barley anymore good plotted short stories, but this one is just pure gold because first of, huge detail notices which the barbies give a future "hint" or reveal how it could end OR just a coincidence, the story is also just so emotionally captivating . I find it as a huge aspect of reality that a mother, would indeed tell their young one police are "Monsters" , not just in that case but many cases that could and would be real.
Great story I'm sharing this !!!!! 😀

On a lighter note, as someone who hopes to be a mother one day, if I asked my future children "Do you want your teeth to rot" and they said "Yes mommy" I'd be very concerned lol

Wow!

Cinema 🎥🎥🔥🔥🔥

This was good, really scary. Only thing I want to know is what did the mother do? How was she a bad mother?
