The rejected is an independent Turkish short film. Its genre is horror but I see it more like a thriller. Although it is a short film it takes its audience inside of the movie and it is not an easy task to do it only in 8 minutes. The Rejected's soundtrack and voices' are very good for small budget independent short movie. Its most important aspect is showing rather than telling approach. It is obviously inspired from cult classic Child's play movie but it tries to tell in its own way. After the audience saw the movie which is free to watch from the Director's own youtube channel(check Onur Dogan on youtube) then they probably interpret it. Because there are ambiguous parts for example motivation of our protagonist a.k.a. Woman or the baby's purpose are open the audience's interpretation. Of course there are some downsides about the short movie for instance Cgi is not very good but it acceptable for an independent short movie. And it is not appropriate for very young audience like children. Apart from these downsides it is a bold and a good good attempt for independent short horror/thriller movie.
Personally, I want to see more independent short films with this kind of quality and effort and I want to congratulate the director Onur Dogan to try such a bold approach on his project. Although he knew his budget is not enough for this kind of project, he accomplished to execute a decent independent short movie.
