    Very cool horror short

    This film is a great example of how to make a short film. The concept is lean and well-executed, with well-timed scares and laughs.

    The film tells the story of a woman who rents an apartment from a nasty old landlady, but she soon finds out that the landlady isn't the biggest threat in the old house.

    The suspense is kept high, and when we finally see the creature, it's done in a really interesting and unique way. This film was a big hit at the festival I saw it at.

    A very fun and original piece from writer-director Gentry Smith. If you can catch it at a film festival near you, I would recommend it.
