Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Simply A Masterpiece
hyped garbage
Good concept, poorly executed.
Very short short, but still an excellent watch - captures the horror momentum well and builds tension in a very short period of time. For those who like horror this is a short must watch that will remind you how good horror should be made and that it's still out there.Pro's Using pauses well Leaving out the "foe" to imagination Using an associative context (it's easy to draw connotations to a night swim). No bad CGI.Con's Short (making it too short, even though the point came across) The largest misstake is not showing the body drowned in the pool at the end - who she sees on land is herself drowned - so it makes no sense having the body disappear unless she wants to literally die - which you do not get the feeling she does.End notes: Horror is about building momentum, it's "easily" done by using pauses and leaving out things to be interpreted (imagined) by the viewer. It is not a 9 because it simply is too short to clearly illuminate if it was a once off (which i doubt but can't rule out). Exspect to hear about Rod Blackhurst again - possibly keep an eye out for "North (2017)".
