Flicker

A very short horror using, in precise and smart manner basic ingredients of genre.

Two young men in house. The storm and the fall of power in neighbourhood. The fear of one, the presumed courage of the other. And the expected presence .

From this point the things are more than predictable but this is the basic virtue of film - the voice who guides the courageous one and the trap .

Dark, candle light, the traits of stranger, each is so familiar. And the good acting , the dialogue and the appearences are the virtues of the game with the viewer.

Like each real good horror, the simplicity represents the key of seduction and source of chill.
