Well, now that we’ve successfully killed off another year of Chiller / Halloween Horror Nights fare, we need a fresh round of short videos to start talking about. Thankfully, YouTube is an almost endless panoply of amateur filmmakers doing shorts like no tomorrow, so we can segue right into today’s model–The Black Pages.

Caitlin, while out bicycling, finds an old book in a creek bed.  Moments later, she also finds an abandoned house with the sound of a phone ringing coming from it.  The book, as it turns out, is a directory of the recently deceased.  But will Caitlin have the right number?  Or will she be disconnected prematurely?

It’s actually a pretty interesting little film.  Parts of it will be tough to handle because some of the voices sound vaguely similar, and the film is also dark in spots so it’s actually tough to tell who’s talking at some points, but if you stick with it, you’ll actually get a pretty interesting little package with a surprising ending.

The Screenhead Ten Scale, therefore, hands The Black Pages a seven out of ten for a mostly successful call with just a little static in the line.  This should be a nice little dose of creepy for you, especially if you don’t have much time to spend.
