The Reflection

The short film The Reflection is very interesting, personally it left me intrigued as to what could continue to happen in the girl's house and how her reaction will be to the new presence that has appeared in her bathroom mirror. It is without a doubt one of the best short films I have seen, a lot of suspense, some horror, it is a good combination. I hope they think about making a long or complete film, many people would see it in premiere. In terms of recording and editing, some things could improve, but the truth is that everything is very good, the scenes and the shots of the girl are from a good position.

Might be the best short film I've ever seen. Congratulations on a really well made video. I would definitely recommend everyone to watch it. The actors play very professionally. The story written is very meaningful. I want to watch as I watch. Normally, short films don't interest me much, but watching this short film got me very excited. You may encounter a lot of surprises. It was a short film that we had to learn excellent lessons from. I followed it on the recommendation of a friend and I never regretted it. I would definitely recommend people who like these tour movies to watch it. It is obvious that this short film has been prepared with a lot of effort.

Though I knew this was a short film going into it, I became almost angry coming out of it that there was nothing more to see. Almost 5 minutes, then, boom! Roll credits. I wanted a feature length film! For reference, I did not read any reviews, or look at the description before jumping in to watch. Honestly, I'm sad you might have watched the trailer or plot summary by this point. If you haven't, don't! Just go watch the film immediately THEN, read the reviews. The experience will be exponentially better.

The cinematography and the carefully timed horror/thriller music draws you into being captivated within seconds. Seemingly monotonous movements of the actress in the first minute of the film become well placed foreshadowing in the next moment. The way the plot is constructed takes you through all of the emotions you get in any great horror movie. The normal routine, the strange occurrence happening, the realization of what the truth is and the horror experienced.

The only critique I could possibly have is to have more of a horrific impact with the make up effects.

This short film is definitely a must-watch and HAS to be seen from beginning to end. This is not a short film for the distracted viewer, as you do NOT want to blink for fear of missing a second of it.

And like any good film, you definitely have to watch it twice. After this review, I'm definitely hitting the replay button, and sharing it with my fellow horror-movie-loving friends.

Great performance by the actress. The audience was captivated throughout by film's mystery, supernatural feel and a bit of suspense. The phone call was captivating bringing out variety of emotional responses where the audience felt attached to the character via feelings and perhaps past experiences. Audience kept questioning the main characters state of mind and the pain she was going through although not understanding what is inside the mind of the main character. The message that was delivered at the end was powerful and definitely relevant to today's issues within our society as a whole. Truly captivating how a short film can deliver such a strong message.

The acting combined with intense cinematography makes this film positively gripping. The Reflection has the pace of both a good mystery and a supernatural film yet leads to a subject both heartbreaking and relevant. The soundtrack adds to the suspense. Particularly intense is the phone call in which Megan Taylor describes her trust and her love for her partner who turns out to be narcissistic and abusive. The scene where she is staring into the mirror with both confidence and a bit of swagger turning into concern and then almost panic like doubt is particularly riveting. It leads to a boiling and gut wrenching conclusion. The movie addresses a huge issue in society in a tumultuous display that embraces the justice in all of us.
