Riize

The pretty thing (2018): I'm actually giving them kudos for having a scene in the dark in which I could see. The creature is quite good and the music really sells the mood, however I feel like the storyline can be a little too predictable, which in the end took away from the whole experience, also the last shot with the creature made me laugh a little (/pos).

Double Vision (2024): The photography in this one is absolutely insane, it has a really good setup and the composition of nearly every single shot feels like art; everything in the sound design, from the night sounds, the buzzing of the machines, everything lures you in like a moth to a flame. It felt a little too short for my taste, I felt like with a few more minutes to tell the whole story, it could have had an even better resolution, all things considered, Isabelle Kiser did an amazing job.

Mama Agnes (2023): Short and sweet, it has a simple set up that's easy to believe and touches upon a fear many of us may have had, it feels like it excels at keeping it simple and eerie despite the well lit scenes and the welcoming home in which the story takes place.

Possibly in Michigan (1983): I'm a sucker for both horror and musicals, and this one excels at both, it feels like everyone who ever tried to do analog media related to horror watched this first, even on the first watch it felt so iconic and well produced. This is what fever dreams are made of.

Don't look back (2024): Usually I'm a sucker for Japanese horror, however I couldn't quite get in the same wavelenght as this one, I felt like it was trying to say something, but the words wouldn't be as loud as they needed. The photography seems nice enough, but the acting and delivery of some of the scenes were not was I was looking forward to.

Polaroid (2017): Actuallty couldn't find this one anywhere, there's another horror movie by the same name, so if anyone happens to find the short film I'd really like to give it a watch.

My house walk-through (2016): Insane from beginning to end, all you get is just footage and subtitles, yet the atmosphere is so intense, it feels like the person who directed and wrote this short film knew from the beginning what their vision was. Also as a bonus, if you want to kill the magic, there's a making of, which is absolutely amazing.

Vicious (2019): The camera work is really good, the actresses sell it, everything looks well executed, however I feel like overall the work lacked direction, there's obviously a story they are trying to tell, but I find it hard to get involved with it.

So, with all of that said, I ranked them as:
