Knock, Knock: Well done, well worn standard about the monster in the closet every young child must stare down. Unfortunately, the total running time is 16 seconds, leaving only one question in its wake: what the hell was that? The Screaming: As good as you will find a short film to be in its first 15 seconds. This flick has a superior set up, but fails to pull off a satisfying ending. Trust: Two young men engage in a game of chicken using whatever’s handy: blow torches, chain saws, cross bows. Mali Elfman is a full-on Fatal Attraction psycho in this short, that could have used a bit more work to even out some rough patches. The Lover: That whole “Hell hath no fury” thing? Yeah, right here. The Collection: The model (Allie Gonino) is an amazing dish and the photographer is none other than Lance Reddick, but it’s not enough to save this story of trapping souls in pictures. The problem is not the creepy kid, but the script that steps all over the punch line by tipping its hand and taking the surprise out of the twist. The Creepy Fucking Kid in Apartment B: Okay, first off, you have to love the title. Redoing Psycho with man’s best friend replacing Norman Bates’s mother doesn’t really work.
When They Say You’re Alone: A young woman falls asleep in her bed, only to be joined by a coven and a demon – kind of like Rosemary’s Baby as an after school special. A technically competent piece that fails in finding a story to match the capabilities of the production team.Ī Dog and His Boy : A Boy and His Dog (1975) with Don Johnson and Jason Robards was much better. How that jibes with this V/H/S wannabe is not clear as we watch a watcher watching a tape of an interview with a willing abductee. Still, it’s good for a jolt or two and does not wear out its welcome.Įvil Voices Lie: We can probably all agree with the title of this one, that in fact, one feature that evil voices possess is the tendency to bend the truth. This one should never have made it off YouTube.Įntity: A clumsy, uneven attempt that starts with some promise after the discovery of a disturbing doll locked away in an attic during move-in day. Amazing amount of bad packed into a few moments: bad acting, bad directing, bad special effects – but mostly, bad idea.īad Egg: Hey, more bad! Hand puppets and horror don’t mix, most especially when the hands serve as the puppets. This short is a painfully amateurish, nearly incomprehensible story of three friends, two of whom hear the disembodied voice of the third when they’re in the same camera shot with her. Voice: The only true turkey in the bunch.
In the meantime, enjoy a rundown from worst-to-first of the 21 offerings:
Volume Two is reportedly underway for release this fall. It’s a perfect fun pack for pre-gaming your next costume party. The result is just what the title promises – bite-sized scares that rival more heralded anthologies of late including The ABCs of Death and V/H/S series. Now, they’ve been brought together and released via iTunes and VOD as a complete package.
#A TWISTED TALE OF KARMA SERIES#
For Halloween 2014, Zeke Pinheiro rallied his friends and fellow directors into creating a series of horror shorts and releasing them onto the web via select sites that cater to fans of the genre. Fun Size Horror: Volume One is the final step of a terrific idea.
