LIGHTS OUT - SCARY SHORT FILM
This is a short film directed by award winning short film maker David F Sandberg. The short film is about a women who believes that she is see'ing a silhouette even though she lives alone. As the silhoette seems to be getting closer she jumps in to her safe bed, little does she know what would happen. After the dramatic effect of the light flickering, she reaches out to plug the light back in, and feels relieved. Even though she feels safe and peers over her bed sheet, she turns to find the scary figure with its razor sharp teeth and clear white eyes waiting for her beside her lamp!
I think that the plot of this short film was successful, and from watching it, it did spook me a little. I think that it definatley followed the conventions of a horror film and how people fear the darkness and are always looking for comfort by covering themselves in their bed sheets. By watching this I found that I have to use my time wisley to ensure that viewers really understand the story, that was one of the successful things about this short film, as I was able to fully undestand what was going on, even though it didnt show what she did with her entire day, or any of her normal day activities.

It is a classic build-up to an ending that has sent Twitter users into some sort of frenzy.One user shared the video, exclaiming: 'OMG this is Freaky as hell!!!'

Sometimes that’s all horror needs, a simple set up with great execution. (http://rhinoshorror.com/2014/03/18/short-round-you-should-always-leave-the-lights-on/#more-16912 )
I saw this video last night before going to bed. Thought to myself, "Can't be that scary if they're mentioning it in the Huffington Post"...could not sleep afterwards. And yes, I slept with the lights on. ( DIANA MALEK - http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/scariest-short-film-article-1.1732918 )
