Good! Very good.

I have to admit, in the very beginning of this horror short, I though it was going to be one of those boring, "serious" type short films.

But then as it went along, it turned out to be a pretty original idea, done really well. Kind of creepy.

Caught this at Frightfest Glasgow 2016, and it was definitely one of the better movies this year. I liked it. It's nothing flashy or anything, but it managed to be really silent and quiet, while still being entertaining. Now, I know it's only 8 minutes or so, but still, 8 minutes can be boring.

Actually last year Katie Bonham (the director) also had one of the best, if not the best, short movie of Frightfest: "the Paper Route". Well done!

Someone give this woman some money and let her make a feature length!
