Danger Word (2013)
I'm hooked and I want more!!!
I didn't know what to expect at all, except something fabulous, given Tananarive Due's stories and novels. I rarely read anything in the horror genre, and I absolutely never watch horror movies, ever! I got so scared at one point in this short film I had to hit pause and summon the courage to continue. I am amazed by the suspense and the investment I felt in the characters so quickly. Faison and Scott are both perfect. There is a finesse here that I love, a way of giving the viewer the feeling of having caught something out of the corner of her eye, but not being sure of what she saw. And then these perfectly timed horrifying images that the camera stays with exactly long enough--not a gaze so fixed on the visual details of horror that it prevents one from connecting the image to the psychological trauma in the characters' world. Brilliant. I want more!
