After finding a collection of VHS tapes in the attic of his grandparents' house, which they have no recollection of seeing.... with each tape, a new secret is found and a hidden mystery memory is unlocked between not only the town but within Alex’s mind with each roll of tape will unravel the secrets that lie within the county Will you press play?
I can very much see this short film has a lot of effort put into it which makes it even better, with cinematography in some scenes being amazing, especially if you're a fan of the classic style of analog horror i highly recommend this film, even despite it being 22 minutes long i left with a sense of intrigue, i am very exited to see how this series will turn out in the future if it continues. Amazing job from the creator!
I found the film rather difficult to follow. There was potential in it, but it would be nice to have more background into the characters to give us a better connection to them. Who is the person doing the school project at the start? Who is that man sent by his boss to find something. And more importantly what relation are they to the main character. We get no real background on this character, in the synopsis we are told he is living in his grandparents house but there is no mention to that in the film. And then we see this “clone” appear for one scene and return at the end, which is one of my favourite parts of the film. It would have been interesting to see a fourth tape that featured Alex, that perhaps another person found in the future. Overall there was potential but I found it difficult to follow at times and was unsure of the relation the tapes have to Alex or why he found them. However I do like the scenes of the tapes, they do have a nice horror ambience to them and add a tension that unfortunately never really built to anything.
