"The Maiden" is an American 9-minute short film in the English language. This one is from 2016, so still pretty new and it is probably the most known career work to date by writer and director Michael Chaves. In the focus here is a(n of course very pretty) young woman working as a real estate agent and she is left in charge of a haunted house. While cleaning it, she has several supernatural encounters, but none of that can shock her away as much to panic and run out of the house as quickly as she can. The final sequence is then about her attempt to sell it to a congressman apparently. So yeah, this little movie is full of jump scares and dangerous situations with ghost creatures and this is basically what defines the film. But there is nothing in here I have not seen before and frequently done better to be honest. I think if Chaves wants to move forward to full feature filmmaking (maybe horror too), then he needs to improve for sure. I personally give this one here a thumbs-down and it's really only for those who watch every horror (short) movie they can get their hand on.
