“An unexpected thriller that had us at the edge of our seats. Reece McCullagh, Finbar Somers and Benjamin Friedli directed this little gem in the comfort of their own home during quarantine. Incorporating an amazing selection of different camera angles and editing them best to their abilities created an aggregate definitely worth watching. We highly appreciated the enterprising usage of colour and the fast pace that was used where that was needed. Raising the standards in the horror film genre, the young filmmakers exceeded every expectation with an elite pairing of the overall sound management and cinematography.”
