Totes saw that coming from the first time he shot himself in the face. the corpse he dragged had the same shoes. lol. so the rest was pretty much predictable. i have to say tho. the choices he made to have this loop repeat were not expected nor very intelligent. kinda gettin al grabby with weird eqiupment and then str8 up knocking ur twin out without any info. then bringing him back to the place u woke up and shot a guy. y would u go back there at all.
. and then taking the fone out the barn for a chat. leaving the gun there and just blurting out a crazy message to ur gurl with literaly no context yet. you were askin for a time loop buddy. but one thing that dont fit. where did this gun and device and stuff come into play to get the loop started. how did the loop start. thats a problematic hole in the story. theres no clear point of entry. like whuch came first the chicken or the egg. that paradox makes me uncomfortable. and this guy should have put some clues together to kinda get a whiff of that time loop de ja vue scenario in the air. especially when he ties himself up with the same rope in the same spot. and says the best cheesy one liner in the flick. lets see how you like it. lol. yes. lets see how he likes it genius. this guy seriously screwed himself royal. lol. dumb

I can see the man is going in a time loop and has probably done so countless times, but what I want to know is this: how many rounds are in that pistol
For the sake of discussion, Man #2 shoots Man #1, and takes the gun. Then later on Man #2 sees Man #3 and knocks him unconscious. As he ties him up he lays down the gun which is later taken by Man #3 after he cuts the rope. Man #3 then shoots Man #2. The cycle repeats and then Man #4 shoots Man #3, and Man #5 shoots Man #4, and Man #6 shoots Man #5. and so on and so on, but at no time is the gun ever reloaded. It just keeps shooting and shooting without anyone reloading the gun.
How many rounds are in that gun

What a loop! This was like looking at the middle of a story without any hope of knowing the beginning or the end. I was hoping to learn why the fellow was strung up like a Christmas pig, but that was too small a question. Why was he in this loop Where did he come from If he was a scientist, a time traveler or a corporate theft, no way to know. What was he up to, not another serial murder, not escaping a mob gang boss, not hiding from his lover's husband! I could go on. But you get my drift. This is a silly manipulation of my brain. I hate under studied dilemmas. I don't mind mysteries, but this one doesn't give me a fair chance to be satisfied or appreciative.

That was a great Short Film. I thoroughly enjoyed this. I do have a couple of questions regarding plot however, I was just wondering why the guy thought it was going to be a good idea to hit himself in the head with a baseball bat! Why not just ask yourself 'hey twin what are you doing talking to my girl'
Other than that minor detail, a great short film. I must note it sounded great too, props to the sound engineer and extra props to Charlie Bray.

Let's be kinder to one another, since the one you fear and the one you fight, is only yourself, literally. That's a sort of take on this. Maybe we're all the same person, living in different timelines, and forgetting each time we're born, that we're all connected as one person. So every time you encounter another human, that human is you, but living in a different time line. This was another short film. Interesting concept.
reply

I HATE these kinds of stories because they just get away with designing anything without giving any logical explanations for it as long as they connect the start to end. That's it. No answers to why his world was glitching, no character development, how did all those equipment come about to exist I'm left to speculate based on no hint from the movie that this might be a simulation. Poorly written.
reply

This plot was obvious within the first minute or so. The acting from the lead wasn't very good once actual dialogue was involved. Poor absolutely derivative effort. I know it's hard to be original, but similar plots abound and the denouement was telegraphed within the first few minutes. Entry level student flick. I see that this is quite an old upload, hopefully the film makers have improved!

1: 30 man, i saw it coming. he's gonna need a chiropractor after that fall! i fell similarly & didn't know whether to laugh or to cry
2: 15 he's glitching XD
3: 52 driving left side automatic. what a disappointment that it wasn't a stick shift.
4: 28 he needs to bloody well stop & pull over to mess with that
11: 38 i think he's glitching during the whole phone call as well XD

reply

Why would you bring the guy back to the same place where you were hanging upside down. There could be others around that had kidnapped you in the 1st place. that was a dumb move. I would have maybe gone to the police station, not directly back home in case the kidnappers thought I would head back there.
I have no abs so would have been dangling to.

reply

wow, the holes in this one are really big. and OMG why the hour long message. not to mention where did the car come from and who did it the very first time before all the time shit happened. Please, this one shouldn't have made it past the screeners of this movie.
reply

The man who was caught in the time loop, thought, that the man who was caught in the time loop, thought that the man who was caught in the time loop. stayed there for all eternity, stayed there for all eternity, stayed there for all eternity.
reply

Predictable from the first pull of the trigger. Did he not recognize his own gun, his own car How did they get there He apparently had no recollection of the events that led up to the loop. Maybe it was the bump on the head.
reply

Groundhog Day, but he'll never know it because he dies every time -- no compounding memories. However, if the sweater's color can change, what else might change Some such changing detail could break the cycle.
reply

So there has to at least be two cars in this time Loop which means physical things don't reset which means piles of him dragging bodies over onto the pile of rocks is going to build up
reply

Nice but the car is going back in time so at some point its going to run out of gas and change the loop. Not to mention the gun running out of bullets as it also gos back with him.
reply

the main problem for me is that he didnt notice at the garage that hey man, these are my memories from 1 hours before -> hmmm, maybe i shouldnt attack that guy without any talking
reply

Really enjoyed this! Had me wrapt up in the questions from the get-go! It's odd though. I never got the answers. But it's still satisfying This ride was quiet fun!
reply

Well, at least the time loop won’t last forever. Eventually his phone will run out of battery, the gun will run out of ammo, and the car with run out of gas.
reply

Guess I've seen this plot line too many times. It seemed pretty likely he just shot himself when they showed him dragging the body face down and never looking at it.
reply

What a twist. Reminds me of one of the Star Trek TNG episodes where they live the same time loop over and over and over again until they found a way out of it.
reply

He didn't realize the 1st body was himself. After he saw himself talking to gf it was too predictable that he was in a cycle.
reply

Another good one for Dust. Stuck in a time loop. Needs to be a full length movie telling you what really happened.
reply

These loop type stories are so predictable.
It's like the same thing, over and over again.

reply

I'm really glad they didn't pretend that fall onto concrete on his back wouldn't hurt A LOT.
reply

what a pity he shot himself. Imagine all the fun they could have with their girlfriend
reply

Typical psychopath. cares more about his own day than if his parallel body dies.
reply

I'd love to hang out with my time double.
He'd probably be a great business partner, too.

reply

Good. but sooo predictable. when he saw his look alike it was obvious its a loop
reply

Unanswered questions why was the device in the car who took the ph ok ots ect.
reply

That is the worst luck or fate of anyone I have ever seen. How would that start
reply

Oh jezis man mr author of this. Do you like this loopy stuff. Wake up! For gods sake.
reply

So, a wonderful protagonist with zero empathy and no qualms about hurting people.
reply

Too predictable. This is Andromeda did a MUCH better job with the subject.
reply

Why attack him(self) instead of confronting him(self) and asking questions

How to deal with after meeting with my plurality in a same universe
