![]() ![]() The eagle-eyed among you may recognise the lead actress, and indeed the apartment it’s filmed in. When she starts hearing noises and seeing shadows, she notices the girl in the photo has gone. This movie differs slightly, however.Ī creepy photograph of a girl standing outside a building hangs on the wall, and clearly bothers the woman living there because when she looks at it the girl has moved. Usually someone is breaking in, or something supernatural lives there. The reason these films are effective is because our home is our haven, you’re supposed to feel safe in your own home, but in these films that’s not the case. It’s not hard to see why either: it’s cheap, and you already live there so all you need is a decent camera.īut there’s more to it than that of course. When you watch as many short horror movies as me, you’ll notice that a lot of them are filmed in people’s houses or, more often, apartments’ very few are filmed outside, like in the woods or even just on the street. The fact that it’s filmed entirely from the point of view of the police officer, we see everything through his eyes, which just racks up an overwhelming sense of dread.Īt just over two minutes long it’s quite possibly the shortest film on this list, and in my opinion it could have been a minute or two longer, but honestly that’s the only negative I have to say about this film.ĭirector: David F. Called to a house where there’s clearly been a disturbance, the officer soon discovers who, or what, is behind it. When he unfriends her, however, strange things start happening.Īre these things really happening? Or is this guy just so racked with guilt he’s imagining all this and punishing himself? Beautifully filmed in this guy’s dimly lit house, Alexia does a good job of sending chills down one’s spine.Ī new spin on the found footage genre here, The Cop Cam is filmed entirely from the point of view of a police officer’s body camera. You start off expecting one thing but the film gives you something completely different, and the ending leaves you feeling somewhat unsettled.Ī man scrolls through Facebook comments sent to a dead girl on her birthday, but it turns out this guy used to date her and she killed herself after he dumped her. Starring horror legend Michael Berryman as the ice cream man, One Please is a strange film to say the least. The girl clearly wants an ice cream, only these ice creams can’t be bought with money… On the street, their daughter merrily plays jump rope when an ice cream truck pulls up. We start off in One Please with a traditional looking family, the wife prepares the food while her husband sits and reads the paper. It’s got a great soundtrack that just adds to the horror and overall, it’s a great film to get any horror movie marathon started. ![]() The film uses various techniques to build the fear too, from jump scares to switching to a first-person perspective near the end. The film builds tension and gives us a feeling of dread, we feel the woman’s fear as it builds and builds. We all fear that we’ll find our front door open upon returning home, so it hits close to home. Vicious is another supernatural horror movie filmed in someone’s house but this one stands out from the rest. Foolishly, she ventures inside, grabs a knife, and searches for the intruder, but let’s just say it’s something a knife can’t defend against. The directorial debut of actor Oliver Park, a woman returns home to find her front door already open. It’s a sinister film that, like all good horror films, makes you ask questions. The film is also more literal than the remake, while it’s never clear what the Babadook creature really is, in Monster, it really is a monster that lives under the stairs. There are jump scares here, which is something that didn’t seem to be in the full length remake, and if they were they weren’t as effective. While Babadook was more about subtle chills and symbolism, Monster pulls no punches with its scares.Ī little boy plays around his house ‘killing monsters,’ but the only thing is there really is a monster in the house. However, that doesn’t mean it’s not worth watching. Remade into a feature length movie, The Babadook, in 2014, Monster by Jennifer Kent is essentially the end of The Babadook, so if you’ve seen that you’ll know what to expect here. So dim the lights, turn up the volume, sit back and prepare to not sleep tonight. Well, this year I did it again, I found a bunch of horror movies all under 30 minutes and subjected myself to their horrors in order to bring them to you wonderful people. Last year, I wrote an article about a bunch of short horror movies, the bulk of which I hadn’t seen before. ![]()
