 Jules Mercer and Devon Pierce crack open the chilling two-minute short film Alive, based on the viral two-sentence horror story about waking to the sound of hammering—only to realize you’re inside a coffin. They explore how such a tiny concept packs such massive dread, break down the film’s pacing, sound design, and gut-punch ending, and imagine alternate takes that could make it even more terrifying.
