While FaceTiming her daughter Emily, a mother (Heather Langenkamp, free from Freddy but perhaps not from supernatural evil if this short has anything to do with it) keeps seeing someone else on screen, as well as getting emails of her daughter sleeping and unaware that something is creeping on her. Even worse, when Emily finally sees it, the creature can only be watched on video. Directed and written by Rebecca Berrih, this has a solid crew of talent, including Charles H. Joslain (he worked on Weird: The Al Yankovich Story) and Izzy Traub (Ender's Game) on visual effects, Nancy Fuller (The Hunt, Cry Macho) editing and Marianne Maddalena as executive producer (she's produced tons of films from Shocker and The People Under the Stairs to the Scream franchise). This is quick and quite effective horror.

I'm hooked!

Technology + horror + surveillance-- what's not to love? This 4 minute piece directed by Rebecca Berrih leaves you wanting for more. It shows us the dark side of technology and plays upon what the eye can't see --- but what technology can. While this is a short and a proof of concept - I can't wait to see this in longer form and to see how these characters and story further develops as it's very promising. We need more female directors in the horror genre so keep your eyes on this one. Congratulations to the team - which included veteran producer Marianne Maddalena, who produced Scream (1996).
