Stranger Danger Online Review–Danger Comes in All Sizes

September 23rd, 2009 in Horror, Movies, Reviews -

Well, folks, this is it–the last of the movies we can review for the Halloween Horror Fest 2009 short film contest.  We’ll be doing a full recap with our projected winner tomorrow, so stay tuned, but until then, on to the horrorshow!

We get a good look at just what stranger danger actually is in this one, and for one such stranger, he’s going to discover that the danger is a lot more unexpected than he figured it’d be.

I admit that I do like the makeup work in this one, and that the ending IS at least something of a surprise, but I really couldn’t get terribly scared by this.  This was probably one of those ideas that turn out to be a lot better suited to a feature-length movie than a short film, because it moved entirely too quickly for its own good.

The Screenhead Ten Scale gives this decent, if lacking in the scares department, short a solid six out of ten.  Just because it didn’t get a rise out of me doesn’t mean it won’t out of you, especially if you’re a newcomer to the horror game.
