The cinema's industry in Greece is at low point making for the most part dumb romantic comedies(I want to threw up) or what we call social movies ,really man ,really ,that is beyond dump and offensive to the film making process in general.
However in the internet my country ,goes very well, more than that it thrives with countless talented ,funny Youtubers ,who make an incredible variety of material. And Lurking Near is with out a doubt such a product and more than that it is the very first film (though a short one) of the horror genre produced here. The channel from which was made is called Unboxholics and for the most part the guys do critics against video-games and technology stuff in general and make comedy . Granted it is a common true that good comedians have a dark side which they rarely show and Lurking Near is exactly that .
To the video it self, we follow a man who goes for work in the woods and after a while finds out that he isn't alone. And then suspense that would make Hichkock proud, pitch perfect camera, sound and environment use. Also all this about 21 minutes film is dialogue free, so all the emotions must come out from body language and the protagonist doesn't disappoint.
Over all this film shows that without a lot money, material and with dedication and organization go can get something good, even excellent. To the Unboxholics keep the good work and who know one day, a feature film from Greece will take elements from you and finally break the cycle of disappointments
