SCP: Dollhouse

This short film punches way above its weight in terms of budget. I found it as intriguing and suspenseful as any massive budget horror flick. It reflects the issues faced by short films created by small personal crews, the acting is of a lower standard, the scope of the story is limited and available funds are low. However, this film manages to negate all of this through its simple yet stunningly effective writing, keeping the plot simple, intriguing and very easy to understand, and avoids massive exposition dumps. From moment one to the end credits, you know what's happening, where you are, and who's who. If I had to summarise the film in a word, it would be "concise". Nothing is overblown or pointlessly expanded upon, no story paralysing monologues, no boredom inducing exposition. A perfectly packaged little film that will shock you, intrigue you, and maybe even scare you. Overall a fantastic way to spend 15 minutes, I would absolutely recommend it.
