12 Great Horror Movie Shorts You Need To See
11. Game
This short, about a groups of men being stalked by some creature, starts as pure horror/thriller. It then takes a turn towards the ridiculous, though the film continues to take itself seriously… even though it doesn’t really. The film sustains a knowing dissonance between aesthetics and content which is hilarious.
It uses that dissonance expertly - giving
the film over to comedy, while giving periodic, sobering reminders of the
mortal danger our protagonists are in. That the film manages to knit these disparate tones together is rather
stunning.
