COLD
A woman turns 40 and realizes that she is dead, though no one notices.
This is an interesting idea that kind of is too long for what it is.
GETAWAY
3 friends go away to a remote house. They play a VHS tape and find what’s happening on screen hits close to home.
Even though you’ll probably guess how this plays out, you’re going to have a great trip with this wicked little film.
COLD LIGHT
A woman about to be buried alive has to talk her way to safety…. And that’s not even a fraction of it.
Truly great short is going to keep you guessing where this is going. I don’t dare spoil this gem because so much happens in it’s brief running time that you’ll hunt me down and kill me for doing so. Seriously this film is more exciting then most feature films.
Track this film down- one of the best at Blood in The Snow.
SOLITARY
A Sikh prisoner in solitary confinement turns toward his faith to escape.
Really good atypical film isn't wholly a horror film but something else. A one of a kind must see.
SPAGHETTI
Woman is visited by her dead lover right before their home is sold.
This is a good film that is more supernatural tale as opposed to anything horrific.
WHITE NOISE
This is a repost of the review from when the film ran at Fantasia earlier this year
Woman with extreme sensitivity to sound is sent to the world’s quiets room for a special treatment.
Mostly good short thriller is hurt by a cliché character in the guise of the tech running the treatment. The use of the distracted tech signals way too early how this is going to go, which lessens an otherwise excellent film.
While I will quibble about the tech, you will still want to see this film for everything it does right. In particular you will want to see this film for it’s wonderful use of sound. It’s so good, especially when coupled with Bahia Watson’s award worthy performance, that you will come away from the film bruised and battered by what you hear. I had to sit in silence for a bit afterward just to reset my brain.
Recommended.
