Rejected

REJECTED showcases a terrific blend of intricately crafted horror stories all surrounding the new in universe SONU digital camera. Each story is presented as lost media, that being footage of seemingly obscure television advertisements for the camera in question. Ones that should've never seen the light of day.

Each story is effective in its own right but it's clear that conscious effort was made to experiment and dabble in multiple genres and it is extremely endearing. There's horror, comedy, drama, action, love and of course carnage, with terrific practical effects that will make even the most hardened gorehound queasy.

Overall REJECTED is a beyond entertaining ride with no dull moments in sight. All three stories tie together in a simple yet fun way and are certain to offer something enjoyable to every horror fan no matter what subgenre suits your fancy.

In this wacky horror macabre short film, three rejected advertisements are shown that are all linked to a vintage digital camera. As each story is split into three segments the camera through out the short turns out to be a sinister. With an 90's aesthetic the film comes to life with very impressive visual and practical effects. If you love gore this is something you'll want to add to your list. As each segment gets more and more wackier, you can't turn away. The final segment is by far my favorite. Without giving to much away things take a demonic fun turn. The build up leading to the final act is brilliant and very entertaining. With this only being a short film it's packed with grotesque, nonstop action, and a high body count. This short film is currently on the film festival journey. If you get the chance don't miss a screening of this upcoming short!

A good horror movie leaves the viewer in suspense, is a bit gory, and gives us something to laugh at even if it's not a direct parody. This short film surprisingly does it all in its limited time.

The suspense also had enough humor to throw you for a loop. Whether it was based on horror stereotypes or having a laugh at the late 90's as the film does a great job taking us back to that time period.

This film features great practical effects with just enough special effects to give it a sense of realism. The production & acting were spot on by what we can see was a concerted effort by the cast & crew.

This short is entertaining, gory, funny, to the point and keeps you gripped. Thoroughly enjoyed. The theme of 1997 was captured perfectly, with the right amount of nostalgia. It's the attention to detail in every scene which really makes you feel the love and work that went into this film. The practical effects were not only disgustingly wonderful, but also extremely effective. Rejected has exceeded where Hollywood fails a lot of the time. From the storyline, to the effects, the passion is beautiful. It's such a refreshing film and one I can see myself returning to often. Would recommend to any horror fan who loves a bit of gore and a fun time.

Rejected is a unique blend of satire, nostalgia and total gorefest that's got something for everybody (well, most...). Great practical effects and big laughs fill this delightfully twisted short.

You'll be saying WTF by the end and wanting more.

The basic premise surrounds an infomercial showing you "rejected" ads for an archaic 90s digital camera. Everyone uses the camera gets...let's say some seriously bad luck.

The acting is hilarious and the cinematography is top notch. I'd love to see this concept extended into a feature, like a Kentucky Fried Movie with splatter.

For horror fans for sure, but enough laughs to satisfy even the most squeamish.
