The son had all the signs, yet it wasnt him. I think is one of the messages of this movie.
pswd is "bigdong946"
hurt people hurt people edit wrote before plot twist
This was crazy. But it was so good. I need another part.😢
this is gay
this is way to realistic
w film, deserves a sub
Cringe
He’s going to be so mad when he realizes his room is all messed up.
how the hell this has 12 mil views is beyond me. It just felt like a commercial. Horribly acted, written, everything.... the idea is so basic, and formulaic that a child could make this. It's funny watching something like this and realizing it's not actually a parody... because it certainly felt like one. Anyone upset by comments "ruining the ending" may not have enough brain cells
the acting is buns bro
Says the Igor fan lmfao
@@JosueMarroquinwowiewow best album
@@Julie4711 tru
Every time I watch this that "sorry" to Katie's mom always gets me to tear up a little 😢
I like this shows what the suspects parents go through while it's happening Because this is hard for them as well
I KNEW IT WASNT ANDREW I CALLED IT
The beginning where he’s playing the game is what every parent thinks happens when their kid plays a violent video game
the dad is a bad actor
I dont understand lol
I wanna please explain me the end of this because I’m so confused about the plot twist
So basically, The dad thought his son was the shooter because of the “signs” he thought he noticed, then he went into his room and looked through everything which made him believe that it truely was his son that did it, he also thought he was because his son has already broken into the gun closet, the dad never checked his gun closet until the end which was the plot twist, his son didn’t do it he just thought he did because the son wasn’t the best behaved, he thought the worse of his son because of signs he thought he saw. He only thought to check his gun closet until he remembered where the key was.
2:24 Here’s a fun fact! While I don’t remember the name of this game, I remember that it has been regarded as one of the darkest and most brutal games ever. I remember hearing once that “only psychopaths would enjoy this game”.
its called hatred kind of a meme nowadays
Ok... So how did it go when his son got back home and saw his room messed up? I just think you should've included that conversation and then ended shortly after.
I feel bad for the kid especially when he was berated by a girl he likes
lmao this is dogshit
Ikr but also why say that?? Suspicious.
Too long
whait so andrew is the shooter
i like double action user guy he knows the functions of that thing
ok not anymore
if this kid broke into the gun cabinet before he should've gotten a better safe before this went down oh also hes playing on a touchpad man what da hell
The start was a spin off of Wayne Harris's call
Damn. This hits hard
16:22 …..
Carl Ford. Have you forgot about Arthur Ford?
Totally predictable
Yeah, but still good
horrible acting
So who was the shooter then?????
9:02 this guy is an idiot. It’s spelled “Afghanistan” with an i instead of an a
Don't store guns with the ammo! come on CARL!
Cool to see that he kept his m1 Garand from his time in Afghanistan
The scariest part is the kid gaming with his touchpad
Leftys or truebelievers not this
What on earth are you going on about
The ending is ambiguous--how do we know he just has the one son? Maybe it's another son calling to see if Dad knows that his brother just shot up the school. Well done.
Erm what the skibiti sigma
This is horribly inappropriate.
@@MackingCheese99 🤯
@@Swatcrocodile may the gods strike you down
Bro that me cry
What game is he playing at 2:24
Hatred
Why in the actual fuck does this piece of garbage have over 12 million views?
That hit hard
Plot twist like damn the end hit this single dad hard
I don't get it
the craziest part is that that game is real, i think its called hatred or something
I like this short movie, the acting is amazing, really enjoyed how it was seen through the father's perspective, but I really feel like it is unrealistic for a kid my age (about 16) to shoot up a school because of a fight with someone they might love that ends with their relationship ending as well. I've gone through a lot of pain from a handful of fellow students in my school straight up ghosting me, as well as a lot of other heavy things having happened to me the same year and the year before, but I've never thought of committing an act of violence such as shooting up my school.
I’m cold right now and that was chilling.
Got let here from a post on Reddit, this was a great film
