    Amazing !

    The atmosphere of this short film is amazing from the start to end.

    The director Mike Pecci is extremely talented and « Who's There ? » as well as his previous short film « 12KM » really shows this.

    The actors are great and communicate their emotions very well. The music always has an important role in movies and the director used it perfectly.

    It's hard to make people feel things with a short film because you have to get them hooked from the very start but in « Who's There » you get immediately interested and it last for the whole 10 minutes.

    It was truly an amazing experience and I hope to see more of Mike Pecci's work as a director in a future !

    Left me wanting more in the BEST way possible

    I'm a big fan of the "unknown" in horror. The evil lurking in the shadows only to be seen by their unsuspecting victims, leaving the audience to decide for themselves just what the hell is going on. "Who's There" provides just enough of the mystery to leave you wanting more, but shows JUST enough to let the viewer know that this isn't your regular neighborhood burglar. In my opinion, one of the worst things a horror film can do is overload the audience with exposition too early. Mike Pecci has a fantastic way of providing exposition without jamming it down your throat. The "less is more" approach allows the viewer to fill in the blanks for themselves, leaving everybody with a unique experience to take away. So, what exactly was knocking at the door? We may never find out, but it damn sure has me wanting more.

    Great suspense beautifully shot I NEED MORE

    Loved this short very well done , the color palette, the aesthetic, the shots , the performance all very well done. I need to know more of what is going to happen but for the purposes of the short this is a very entertaining watch. This is the kind of picture that will let you have a lot of fun trying to create the end of the story in your mind. Can't wait to see more from this director. Projects like this are keeping horror alive and well Thank you!! Would very much like to see this concept turned into a full length motion picture this will be something I will be thinking about again and again over the next few weeks.

    Amazing Short Horror

    Mike Pecci and his team really did a phenomenal job in conveying an unseen horror behind closed doors. Discovering Pecci through his other short film "12KM" I have fallen in love with the story telling and pacing of his work.

    The use of warm and cool tones throughout this short film is what really caught my eye, directing the viewer's attention to what needs to be seen and highlighting what might seem as just ordinary, but really is very important. The color theory mixed with the anxiety inducing ambient music is what really drives home the unseen horror.

    The actors in this were amazing!! In such a short amount of time we as the audience get to see such a wide range of emotions, especially from Maggie, who played the baby sitter- the close up shots of her face were just fantastic!

    For anyone with a little bit of time who wants something very Lovecraftian, this is the short film for you.

    One of the best short films I have seen

    LOVE the style, mood, atmosphere and everything about this one! Right up my alley! This could easily be adapted into a full length movie to explore the lore of the box and what is in it! I have only seen very few short, 10 minute or so films, but this one tops them all! It is able to do in 10 minutes what some Hollywood films can't do in an hour and a half or two. As stated before, I would LOVE to see a full length film for this one. That 10 or so minutes left me wanting more of the story. Very few short films have done this for me. Pecci knocked this one out of the park. I will definitely be looking forward to his next project!
