Pros: The performances are pretty good and there are at least 3 references to classic horror movies sprinkled throughout the main character's dialogue -- those were fun to catch.
Cons: The vague, disjointed narrative isn't scary, interesting, thrilling, or darkly humorous. You can also see the kid breathing in the opening scene, which takes away from the horror of the moment.
Not bad for a short, but I'd recommend Fear Clinic instead (the 2009 web series, not the 2014 film), which also stars scream queen Danielle Harris. Last caught that on YouTube. Same vibe, better storyline, and it has the added bonus of genre vets Danielle Harris, Robert Englund, Kane Hodder, and Lisa Wilcox working together as their characters work against each other.
