Ahhh... a totally vague, unresolved, no, unexplained bit of narrative.

For those not familiar with SCP, SCP-096.

Not sure what I just watched, but I am hooked into the story. Don't leave me hanging Karl.

It just came up in my YT feed today and was new to me.
But, as one Lettuce Dealer wrote in the comments thereto, you couldn't have had more than a $100,000 budget and you made a better film than some Hollywood movies with million dollar budgets to which a Leo Bruh replied hey had a 15k budget. I for one was impressed with that -- man, talk about more Boo! for your buck.

That was fun, it could be the next Laundry Files novel, properly Lovecraftian.

I do not regret the time I spent to watch it. A lot of SCP stuff leaves me a little cold. Like most creepypasta, they reach a sweet spot and then go a little too far, causing the whole thing to collapse, but this was a nice slice of a story that kept focused on it's central ideas.

Very impressive, given what must have been a very limited budget. I don't know how clear it would have been for someone not familiar with the SCP universe, though. Also! The acting. Was so very. Overwrought! It really forced one. To ask! ARE WE THE MONSTERS?
And when I say forced, I mean strapped into restraints within a cube of reinforced concrete no less than 3x3x3 (three by three by three meters) with walls one (1) meter thick, filled with anti-soporific gas, while focused speakers play an endless loop featuring a duet between Kylie Minogue and Peewee Herman singing "ARE WE THE MONSTERS?" directly into the audience's brain.

And this would be a bad thing how?
