Childer

This was a well made, taut and tense short film. I tried putting myself in the character's situation - and that's what's scary. If if you wanted to know what was in the woods at night but were too scared to look... look no further.

I think this was a beautiful short, a bit slow but I didn't mind. The mother who is clean, average looking, seemingly harmless. The innocent son she seemed to have no interest in. You wouldn't think this film would take the turn it does, but the foreshadowing kinda gives it away. I think it shows mental illness in such a intriguing way. I wonder if the children were even real. Or just a representation of the mother's mental decline. Beautifully filmed, if you don't mind a slow burn definitely give this one a watch.

Took a while to track this down online, I think it's been made unavailable now. Glad, I got to see it. It's been lingering in my mind ever since. The feral kids in this are downright creepy and they wear these weird masks. There's a good little horror gem in here - it could have done with more character development and a stronger narrative.

5/10

It is the basic virtue of this beautiful short film. A single mum. A boy. The wood. Kids from the wood and the title who is the axis of all. The second good point is the splendid performance of the young Luke Walford. And the descend in the skin of mother. A horror for admires of old style. Wise construction of tension, dark pieces one by one, splendid end. And cold poetry of mix between dream and near reality.

I saw this on Altars youtube channel its strange, eerie story. I loved the art direction and the production value is high. I believe though it's a bit long and that it could get right into the story earlier. Otherwise its a very dark twisted tale that definitely is worth watching if you a horror movie lover.
