Finally got around to seeing this and always have to come here after I watch a new film to see what you guys think! I LOVE this film, The short film looks even more creepy. I enjoyed this short film over all, it was done really well, but I'm tired of this kind of ending. The same as the grudge, the ring, etc. The cinematography and sounds design were great. A lot of tension and the ending was a lot (and not where I thought it was going). Great short movie. Could have been titled "before the Smile" Really enjoyed this short movie. I loved the non-stop dread felt from beginning to end. Not knowing about short movie, I keep thinking about this short film in terms of mental illness versus the supernatural evil demon entity. It's technically both, but they were very intentional with including mental illness and trauma. I want to see that explored more, and I think leaving out about the other victims in the suicide chain would make the film very successfully lean more towards mental illness than the supernatural.
