Short Film: Animus (2024)

What Happens

Harry wakes up to the sound of an old record playing in the next room. He looks… unwell, to say the least. He goes into the next room and finds someone sitting in the rocking chair– no, there’s no one there. Or maybe there is, but either way, Harry unleashes his murderous rage on the person. That kind of thing never ends well.

Commentary

It’s very surreal and weird. Why is Harry so sickly looking as he sleeps? Is he possibly already dead? Who is the woman in the chair? I have many questions.

Still, it looks good, has some interesting special effects, and doesn’t overstay its welcome.

Nice!
