The story takes an intriguing turn when Sam, in her desire to connect with her late mother, poses the question, “Are there any spirits here?” through a Ouija board. This pivotal moment propels the film into the paranormal realm, infusing a sense of trepidation that keeps viewers on the edge. Despite its low-budget nature, the production impresses with commendable cinematography by Brian Maguda and a noteworthy performance from LeBron.
However, a minor drawback surfaces in the form of the film’s somewhat misjudged sound design. The horror genre thrives on immersive audio elements, and a more pronounced focus on this aspect could have heightened the overall sense of tension. The film, unfortunately, experiences a slight dip in tension towards the conclusion, leaving audiences yearning for a more resolute climax.
Nonetheless, Campbell’s short film stands as a commendable effort in low-budget horror, showcasing the potential for gripping storytelling and solid filmmaking. Despite its minor shortcoming, the production successfully explores themes of grief and the supernatural, making it a welcome addition to the world of short horror.
