Horror Short: No Through Road



This is one of the best low budget shorts I've ever seen. These guys craft an excellent atmosphere. Their dialogue feels natural, not strained or scripted. I think everyone has gotten lost driving somewhere, and they convey that nervous tension perfectly.

I also like how there are homages to other films within it. The creepy record loop on the radio is from The Strangers, and the camera kill is similar to a death in Quarantine. All of these things make this an excellent short film. I hope these guys keep making movies.
