That perfect combination between just enough laughs, winces and jumps. The short achieves where most features disappoint - knowing your audience and keeping them surprised. It plays to the horror fans but doesn't sucker into any predictable stereotypes. Reece Shearsmith is a delight and carries the film with what could be a one-man show.
Is it worrying that I find myself relating to his character a bit too much?
Saw this in a screen full of true horror fans at Film4's FrightFest and there were cackles all around. Truly excited to see what Paul Davis can do with his feature Silent Night of the Living Dead. Hopefully this time he'll take it into the big open outdoors.
