Horror Short: Helping Hand

A woman answers the phone late at night and does not recognize the voice on the other end.
Graphic horror film. Not for children under 13. Do not watch if you are at risk of medical problems from anxiety or shock.
This is my own contribution to the specific horror genre exemplified by the series of 'Saw' movies. It also has some of the qualities of the moral warning fairy tales in which awful things happen to innocents because of relatively minor errors in judgment.
I set out to make a horror short the way I might have done it as a twelve year old. In fact, the film pretty well sums up my thoughts on what horror films really are, how they build suspense and anticipation through a series of ordinary events and actions viewed slightly askew.
Of course, horror should always have some kind of payoff.
This was filmed entirely without digital effects. It's all analog like the old days! Lots of fun. I love horror shorts and will try to make another one soon.
Enjoy! And Happy Halloween!
