The Thread

It's been a long time since I've seen a horror film executed so perfectly in this competition - from the cinematography, the design, the ideas that came out on screen and the brilliant first person narrative - the fact you managed to get people to jump and scream were signs of a job exceedingly well done.

An absolutely fantastic horror here. Everything was perfect: the sound, the POV perspective, the colour, the location, the vibe, the editing. Extremely visceral opening when the protagonist falls off the slab and just never lets up. A masterpiece of minimal storytelling - few details but very evocative, everything necessary to scare the pants off any audience (I'm sure I heard some "oh no"s from the crowd tonight). This one is going to be very hard to beat. Excellent work.

This film left me wanting more, not in the best way. I think it was well done and well made. But the story lacked explaination. I was lost as to what was happening and felt like I was just taken along for a ride. I would love to watch this again. As I feel I didn't get it all in one viewing. Don't get me wrong I loved it and want to see this in the finals. Was a stand out for me.

This film made me want more and i thought it was very scary. Good for the genre! But I hate horrors!
