Though I knew this was a short film going into it, I became almost angry coming out of it that there was nothing more to see. Almost 5 minutes, then, boom! Roll credits. I wanted a feature length film! For reference, I did not read any reviews, or look at the description before jumping in to watch. Honestly, I'm sad you might have watched the trailer or plot summary by this point. If you haven't, don't! Just go watch the film immediately THEN, read the reviews. The experience will be exponentially better.
The cinematography and the carefully timed horror/thriller music draws you into being captivated within seconds. Seemingly monotonous movements of the actress in the first minute of the film become well placed foreshadowing in the next moment. The way the plot is constructed takes you through all of the emotions you get in any great horror movie. The normal routine, the strange occurrence happening, the realization of what the truth is and the horror experienced.
The only critique I could possibly have is to have more of a horrific impact with the make up effects.
This short film is definitely a must-watch and HAS to be seen from beginning to end. This is not a short film for the distracted viewer, as you do NOT want to blink for fear of missing a second of it.
And like any good film, you definitely have to watch it twice. After this review, I'm definitely hitting the replay button, and sharing it with my fellow horror-movie-loving friends.
