If you tried to make it through the full experiment… what would your strategy be? Would you survive?

Testing the ant on someone who believed in it instead of yourself was just vile.

RED FLAGS: 1) Research study in a house. 2) Creepy Dr. Lank. 3) Lack of a full study brochure and informed consent forms (ICF). Not informing the patients of all risks and benefits, plus obtaining no ICF, are illegal. 4) Talk of being eliminated. 5) Claim that the single-dose of a pheromone will grow stronger over time, which is impossible. CONCLUSION: Something sinister is up, so NOPE: I'm out of there.

Got a killer ant coming after me, better take a nap.

I would’ve locked myself in the bathroom and stuffed my clothes in the gaps around the door and any vents then sat in the tub with the shower running. The ant would wash down the drain before it touched you if it found a gap to get in the bathroom.

Wow the acting is pretty good, I thought the dude in the sweater was going to be the ahole but it was really good

Absolutely terrifying. That study did not get IRB approval.

On a horror short films binge, my dreams are going to be interesting when I do fall asleep for sure.

I would have squashed the ant as soon as the doctor left the room

Lords of Light! This was a freakin phenomenally fantastic film! And, I love how you Incorporated the "You're Immortal, however there's also a snail that's Immortal and it's endlessly pursuing you and if it touches you, you'll die" story because when I first started watching this that's exactly what I thought of. But this was incredibly inventive, it has me, and my friends, racking our imaginations trying to conjure up various scenarios in which to survive this insanely orchestrated ordeal! Props and kudos to everyone involved in the creation of this, in my opinion, magnificent masterpiece!

Excellent work. Really pulled me in.
A reasonably simple solution in my opinion- go upstairs as far away from the ant as possible. Open the bottle of wine. Pour some wine on your wrist and rub it in with anything- repeat several times. The alcohol will neutralize the pheromone. Stay upstairs in one of the rooms and pour a circular ring of water around you. Be alert.
Ant will have difficulty crossing a water barrier.
You’ll be fine

For me, the key was "...you will be eliminated." Why didn't anyone kindly ask what "eliminated" means in this context ? 😄Anyway, it wasn't forbidden to squish the ant with the bottom of one of those glasses....😉
