The story is centered around a professor’s correspondence with an absent student. Written by and starring Steven D’Ascanio, the film sets a jarring tone that pulls the audience in with mounting suspense. The impressive cinematography, lighting, and editing jump off the screen, creating a terrifying atmosphere that the viewer cannot escape from.
The film also benefits from Thomas Manger’s excellent voice-over, providing narration that adds to the increasing unease of the story. However, despite so much promise, the end falls flat leaving the viewer wanting more and fulfilling pay-off to the tension created earlier.
Overall, Brian Reilly’s experimental horror film is well-made experience with many hallmarks of suspense mastered. Despite its unfulfilling ending, the film hints at the director’s potential – providing a chilling glimpse of what’s to come in their future work.
