More About "Dead Mall":
After a night of partying, The Girl finds herself on an empty street in Downtown Miami with a strange man who offers to walk her home. He tells her he knows a short cut through the old mall. He coaxes The Girl inside, and then locks her in. Sorry, he says, it has to eat. Inside, she is hunted - maybe herded - by a horned creature through an increasingly confusing and irrational space. While hiding from the beast, she encounters a sinister ball of yarn, a sentient escalator, a half-eaten woman, and a very beautiful cow. When the horned creature abruptly disappears, The Girl is welcomed by a group of women who claim to have slain the best. But her relief is short-lived, and she realizes too late what (or who) these women eat to survive.

I am a boy and I would prefer to walk around the block over some stranger telling me to take a shortcut. The End

It may be a bit specific, but the thing that terrified me the most was when she saw the cows running away from her and that the peaceful music became more and more uncomfortable. Fuck, that was scary!

An empty mall at night is a freaky thing, I did lots of floor sets back in my teenage years and at 3 AM every sound is a stalking murderer or a ghost! Great film!

Just the anxiety that you'll get being stuck in a wide silent space is already terrifying

Interesting re-imagening of Ariadne's Thread. It makes think back on the classic myth and what ifs. Also odd choice to stay in the mall and choosing cannibalism instead of jumping the guy and getting out there when he came around with fresh meat. Guess they're playing out on the fact that sometimes survivors' minds end up so broken that they become the monster themselves as coping mechanism maybe. Also I like how it works as cautionary tale showing that beyond looks, gender, age, etc...you never know who is hiding behind the mask and how risky it can be to lower your guard making yourself vulnerable just because that stranger seems harmless or trustworthy.

Man: It has to eat.
Girl: Ok, I'll head over myself. Save it the trouble of finding me. It's hungry, after all. :)

Places like the mall, where you usually see a lot of other people, are super scary when they are empty.. I used to work in an office building, sometimes after dark and when empty.. it was like straight out of a horror movie like this.. ππ€

Girl: As soon as that guy gave you the option to do the scary thing alone or the thing you didn't want to do in order for him to be by your side...see it for what it is...a threat and pick the first option or the third...and run. Your chances be better facing scary things without him.

This is frightening! I can't imagine being locked in there with that thing π³π¬π Thanks for the upload Alter. Always love y'all!!πππππ

This begins as a stranger danger horror film. It then gets into a cat and mouse horror story with some really scary rooms with reveals that are twisted and horrifying. The end was twisted too.
This is a story that you could see on a deserted island. So putting it in an abandoned mall was interesting.
Lessons:
1) Follow your gut. She knew not to go in the empty building.
2) Remember a high heel can be used as a weapon.
3) Many monsters are of the human kind.
4) Mall Muzak is the real horror.
It is also interesting to ponder that the group at the end doesn't want to leave which gives another angle of horror.
The farm break was interesting and maybe there is a message of the dead mall being like how a farm appears to a Vegan.
I enjoyed the film and thanks to Olivia West Lloyd, the cast, and crew. Maya Martinez the lead actress also portrayed being terrified exceptionally.
Peace.

As a fan of both horror and mythology, I really enjoyed this one, despite some minor flaws. The main girl is hella cute too.

I'll be so scared if i was locked up in there.

Did anyone notice that when the guy walked back to his car he tripped and fell forward,? lol

Why would he wanna bring such a slim girl?!

This had me in so much tension and how things turned omg poor girl, she was so intelligent because she managed to keep herself safe even with all that pressure on her, but at the end, she still walked right into the trap. So well made!

A statement from the writer and director Olivia West Lloyd: Dead Mall is a reimagining of the Minotaur myth from Greek mythology, undone and unraveled and placed in a desolate downtown Miami mall. I love the way that Greek mythology takes the baser human emotions - lust, greed, vanity, spite, envy, fear - and gives them to the Gods, who play them out in exuberant and operatic ways. It not only humanizes the Gods, but it makes divine those pesky feelings that rule human existence. I am drawn horror for many of the same reasons. Here is a genre that centers emotion - especially female emotion - and allows it to be big, messy, and unrepressed. As a woman, I spend so much energy trying to keep my emotions from leaking into my daily life for fear of making others uncomfortable. But emotions rule us all, and in horror, they are allowed to rule without restraint. My interest in horror often boils down to an interest in fear - how it motivates us, reshapes our identities, and rewires our brain chemistry. Fear is endlessly manipulative, and it has the capacity to turn us into the very thing we fear in others. As fear is passed from person to person, generation to generation, the line between victim and perpetrator becomes unbearably thin. Dead Mall is a story about that slippage, and the cyclicality of horror in our world.
