Short Films for Short Attention Spans: THE SLEEPOVER

So Cabin in the Woods held a contest for independent film makers with a cash prize.  I thought about entering.  I’m glad I didn’t as I would have been annihilated by the winner.

Paraphrasing the writer/producer… They world-premiered at Fantastic Fest this year, where they won Best Horror Short Runner-Up, then took Best Super Short at Shriekfest and the Palm d’Gore at Knoxville Horror Film Fest.  They made their online debut on the front page of Vimeo the other day as the winner of “Cabin in the Woods”/Lionsgate’s short film competition, and the fan response so far has been pretty incredible.  It’s a little edgy, a little spooky and a little sweet.  Stars Josh Feldman (INSIDIOUS), Gus Kamp and Carolyn Jania.

Personally, it feels like a love letter to much of the horror we love.  Eventually with all these serial killers around, who just keep coming back, there has to be some sort of protocol set up.

Anyways, enjoy!
