I'm always intrigued when I find a short film I've never heard of that is actually really good.
I don't make films, I don't know that much about them, but I got into shorts a few years ago when a friend gave me a DVD of academy award winning shorts... Huh, didn't realize that was a category. I've been YouTubing "short film" ever since! It's interesting to me how a short film maker must create a story beginning, middle, and end in such a short period of time... this film does a great job of that.
I don't like the idea of kids with a gun. I thought I knew how the story was going to end. In five minutes, this film creates a very spooky plot twist.
My only criticism is this: what is with the ghost hand in the kitchen cupboard? It's never explained and loose ends drive me nuts! My favorite shot is of the little boy's eyes at the end. Cool film.
