io9 points us to writer/director Tim Egan's short film Curve, which puts its unnamed protagonist in one of the cruelest and most dastardly situations I've ever seen. It's a single character horror thriller set on the edge of a dangerous precipice, and it's all about if the protagonist has what it takes to avoid falling to her certain doom. It features an incredible piece of production design, along with a stellar performance from actress Laura Jane Turner.
How about that ending? Do you think she made it? What does this short represent to you?...

If there is one short film that can speak for itself, evincing its obvious talents through nothing but images, it’s Curve. Even so, we couldn’t pass up on the opportunity of interviewing its diabolical creator, writer-director Tim Egan. While he was visiting the Transylvania International Film Festival we got together over Skype and dove into the dark depths of Curve. (Attention all genre fans: if you still haven’t seen Curve yet, do so now! It’s easy, just click here.) ScreenAnarchy: You have to tell me Tim, what’s the secret to Australia and excellent genre cinema? You’ve got Greg McLean, Sean Byrne, Jennifer Kent, Ben Young, Damian Power, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. There is so much talent coming from Australia these past...

Hot on the heels of Rob Savage’s Dawn of the Deaf online audiences are once again treated to a stellar short, completely free of charge! This time terror hails from Australia and takes the guise of Tim Egan’s Curve. The set-up is simple: a sloping surface, a pitch-black abyss, an unknown woman (Laura Jane Turner), clasping on for dear life. Where the hell is she? Who dropped her there, and why? And what on earth is that monstrous screech emanating from deep below? Having screened in virtually every country in the world and having won awards in most of them (most recently, one week ago at the Transylvania International Film Festival), Curve marks the arrival of a new master of horror. I previously raved about...

Time for something uniquely scary. A very suspenseful horror short film titled Curve has debuted online, from writer/director Tim Egan. The short originally premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and won Best Short at Sitges last year, so it already has quite a bit of good buzz. Curve is a very simple concept horror short film about a woman who wakes up clinging to a "smooth, curved surface high above a sentient abyss". Starring Laura Jane Turner as the woman. I like how simple this is, and how it relies on the sound design and visual storytelling to make you feel the fear and intensity. But - what the heck is this place?! See below. Original description from Vimeo: "Clinging to a smooth, curved surface high above a sentient abyss, a girl tries to cover the few feet back to safety without losing purchase and falling to her death.

Those who have been keeping a close eye on the short film programs of international festivals will have seen a select number of titles popping up all over the world in 2016. Particularly noteworthy for the numerous awards they both collected are Tim Egan’s Curve and Quarxx’s A Nearly Perfect Blue Sky (Un Ciel Bleu Presque Parfait). The former is a harrowing edge-of-your seat nightmare about a woman who desperately tries to prevent herself from falling off a reclining surface into a pitch-black abyss. Coincidence or not, its potent combination of visceral thrills and metaphoric exploration of a mental illness is also what makes the latter such a singularly impressive work. Quarxx’s short focuses on Simon (Jean-Luc Clochard), an unstable man who tries his best...

Currently making the rounds at international festivals and gaining plaudits wherever it plays, is Tim Egan’s debut film Curve. A short of Australian origin that is carried by strong word of mouth, the tightly edited nightmare is sure to leave its mark on English audiences this Sunday as Egan’s stylish chiller will see its European premiere at London’s FrightFest. Curve unfolds over a lean yet blisteringly tense 10 minutes as viewers are introduced to a nameless protagonist who clings to a smooth surface that curves downward into an abyss – a pitch-black pit from which ominous sounds emanate. Is there any way for her to climb upward, back to safety? Or is she doomed from the get-go? Shrewdly utilizing its lack of context to engage...
