MALEFIC

I liked that the story was both clear and creepy. The house and the forest felt alive somehow.

It’s rare to see a short film that keeps the tension this strong. No cheap jumpscares. Just pure, thick dread.

Every shot looks like a photograph from a nightmare. The mist, the house, the reflections! All perfectly composed.

The play of light and shadow recalls classic gothic cinema. The amulet scenes feel loaded with symbolism.

Confident direction: pacing, sound, and color are top-notch. Some dialogue runs a bit long, but the final act pays off completely.

The amulet feels like a metaphor for inspiration itself. Something that gives life but also curses it. A deep idea wrapped in horror.

I literally held my breath. The ending gave me chills, like the witch was breathing right behind my neck.

The lead actor is a revelation. His shift from confusion to possession feels natural and terrifying.
