The Shadow

A great little short about a woman seeking some spiritual advice in regards to her sons possession, don't want to spoil too many details but the cinematography and sound design were great.

Great narrative and it did keep me on the edge, there is also an anxious flashback scene which worked very well.

I didn't expect a shocking horror film, it was much better and it definitely had me thinking about past experiences, the acting was also convincing.

The ending will have you put all the pieces together and leave you with the creeps.

Would love to see more stories like this, maybe a series of short-films or even a full series based on this!!!

The ending saved this short film a bit for me. The disappointing part was the exaggeration in the story that the cleric tells. The depiction was over the top in that flashback. I wasn't expecting that one particular scene of stained dress. It was also unnecessary in my humble opinion.

More could have been explored within these 15 minutes. But keeping it with the bare minimum also works well. It was well directed.

I would definitely recommend it, however, whoever wrote the summary or the plotline on this page about "behind the door" is probably insinuating something else, which amounts to false advertisement.
