Review

Paul Catalanotto’s ‘Earworm’ is a chilling short slasher movie that will make your spine chill from start to finish. The film centres around a seemingly unhinged student named Crystal, played by Erica Weiss, who arrives late to class and begins humming a sinister melody that ensnares her professor and sets off an onslaught of carnage.

The narrative of the film is truly original and masterfully crafted, delivering a chilling commentary on the power of suggestion and the epidemic of violence in our society. Catalanotto’s direction is incredible, suspenseful and unpredictable, with judicious management of the pacing while keeping viewers on the edge of their seats.

The cinematography, editing, and production design of the film are highly commendable and expertly executed, resulting in a compelling and visually stunning piece. The use of sound design to create an eerie atmosphere that envelops the entire film is top-notch.

‘Earworm’ is a powerful and disturbing horror film that is destined to stir and agitate the viewer. The film’s original narrative, outstanding direction, and deft execution of the technical aspects make it clear that Catalanotto’s talent for horror filmmaking is undeniable. This short film is a must-see for all horror aficionados, looking for the ultimate spooky viewing experience.
