There's not a whole lot to the short film Someone Else--but there is certainly something about it. Directed by Andrew Newall, and clocking in at the four minute mark, Someone Else is a snapshot of a paranoid woman who believes that someone else has been in her house. The film bounces back between the woman noticing subtle changes in her house, and her sessions with a therapist going over her paranoia and reoccuring dreams. It's a quick film, but one that does end up staying with you. Just like how the woman continues to believe that someone is there--we too continue to feel like something is there within the film, something we may have missed. The entire film is like the very beginning of some kind of enormous puzzle, framing perhaps the edge of a larger picture.The film provides the skeletal outline of something much bigger that we want to know more about,...

You know we are nearing the end of October when the pace of horror DVD title releases starts slowing down. I guess the powers that be banked on everyone buying horror DVDs several weeks before Halloween. Is that true? Are you folks doing just that, or are you only now starting your Halloween viewing party planning?
Anyway, while this week's bounty includes monsters in the water and in the sky, with mostly direct-to-dvd, TV movies and old re-releases, the juggernaut monster is the one in space with a complete set in one neat package.

Director/writer: Andrew Newall.
Someone Else is a film of paranoia and delusions. With a running time of four minutes, the film is the shortest this site has seen, but the delivery of a somewhat obsessive compulsive personality by Karen Bartke is believable and well done. Although slightly confusing, horror and thriller fans will have to see this little jewel on the film festival circuit.
The synopsis involves an unnamed woman experiencing the neurotic belief that someone else is in her home. But is this all in her imagination? Not completely fleshed out, the second woman, played by, Sharon Osdin, seems to delight in the torture of the first.
The ending will leave questions, yet the short running time means that Someone Else will not stay in the synapse for long. Thrilling, and slightly gorrific the film is a recommend; however, the difficulty lies in finding a copy or screen...

Director: Kerry Anne Mullaney.
Writers: Kris R. Bird, and Kerry Anne Mullaney.
First time director Kerry Anne Mullaney gets up close and personal in this virus plagued run through the Scottish Highlands. Made for a pittance the story focuses more on the characters Daniel, April, and Kate rather than the airborne disease. Also, light on action, until the climax, "The Dead Outside," becomes re-watchable as paranoia turns characters against each other in the battle for a cure.
The plot breaks down like this: family man Daniel (Alton Milne) leaves virus contaminated Borders, Scotland for greener pastures and instead encounters gun happy April (Sandra Louise Douglas) in the Highlands. Partnering up to fight several infected this companionship almost breaks apart with the arrival of survivor and master manipulator Kate (Sharon Osdin) challenging the relationship. The situation comes to a climax when Kate hopes to find a cure, to the virus, by...
