It's in the Air

horror · Short Films · english

It's Halloween when Emma and Olivia, equipped with matching cat hairbands, step out and head to a location in the darkness of the night. However, due to a mix-up, they end up on the wrong set of bleachers that sit silently in the shadows. This is followed by a realization that despite the desolation of the spot, they are not entirely alone. Soon the unwelcome presence makes himself known.

While the women may have dismissed him after a cursory look, the viewer knows better by this point. Something sinister brews under the surface, waiting to reveal itself at the slightest provocation.

As the story comes into being, it combines humor with horror to share its developments with you. It sprinkles the two emotions with ease, attempting to generate both laughs and chills, at the expense of the fateful turn of events unfolding before you. The narrative also goes the extra mile to locate itself very much in contemporary reality, deeply setting its roots in a circumstance we are all too familiar with by now, striving for a balance between between shivers and laughter all along. Notwithstanding a little want of polishing of the rough edges, the eventual outcome of the film is definitely notable, and makes one look forward to future projects by the team.
