Great holiday short

This has to be one of the best shorts I've seen in quite some time. I came across it on the internet while randomly browsing.

I was hooked from the beginning. Great cinematography - it didn't feel amateur. The script was well written, the makeup was great, and it kept my eyes glued to the screen. I have a hard time understanding how they fit the story into a 23 minute short without feeling rushed or empty. I wish that this was an entire feature film as it did leave me wanting to see how the story eventually plays out. I hope this team gets a shot at some big titles as I know they wouldn't disappoint. This short reminds me of Shaun of the Dead in a way. Highly recommended.
