there isn't a lot happening in this B&W short, but the director manages to do a great job of creating tension with little more than a TV screen & telephone.
the low contrast dark look does a great job of giving it a claustrophobic feeling and the location itself has a vaguely creepy indefinable quality.
for such a minimalist film, the director pulls it off and has a VERY keen eye for framing. the enigmatic video that appears on the screen has a dark sexy quality to it that also oozes menace.
if you're a fan of ju-on (the grudge) & kairo (pulse), this short probably does a better job of capturing the vibe of the originals than the Hollywood remakes. a very pleasant surprise in a world full of mostly crappy short subjects.
