The Thing in the Apartment (2015 short)

The Thing in the apartment.

4.5 stars out of 5.

This 11 minute short is great.  It puts you on edge quickly and then drives you over it.  Do sounds in your apartment while your alone scare you?  Do shapes in the dark shadows creep you out?  Grab your blanket, grab your teddy, and hold on.

Written and directed by John Ross, who has been adding credits to his IMDB since 2001 really hits the nail on the head with this flick.

I don't believe I have seen any of the other work from this fellow, but let me add a "yet" to that statement. I am making a note to watch something else from Mr. Ross to get a more rounded feel for him and his works.

The write up after the film by Ivan Kander is informative and easy to read.  I recommend that to you as well.

It will also explain the link between Mr. Ross and Eli Roth.

This flick seems to me to be almost a trailer or teaser for a new horror flick.  Part of me is like "Woot! That would be awesome!!"  but part is like "this is a fun film just as it is, would more ruin it?  I'll let you decide for yourself, but feel free to let me know.

Until next time everybody, rememeber, Protect Your Privates!
