15 minutes that chills

I'm sorry to say it, but I saw End of the Line last night & the Midnight Madness, All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, and the thing that freaked me out the most was this short! This director is a master of suspense and has an amazing gift for theatrical timing. The staging was beautiful, the spooky factor high, and the hypnotherapy type of narrative was incredibly well utilized. This kind of creepy film is the far and away scarier then the standard slasher flick. I don't normally like horror or thriller type films (don't ask what drew me to End of the Line & Mandy Lane, I honestly don't know!) but I could definitely appreciate the crafting of this short.
