The Lift

It's important to get the structuring of the narrative completely right if the attempt is to invoke horror. The short film comes very close to hitting the nail on the head, the resultant effect realised primarily because of a seamless edit.

While the film will disorient the viewer, whether or not they are fans of horror, it would have still benefited from a shorter length. A note of ambiguity sometimes works better for a product of this genre. On the whole, the film is an aspirational attempt which goes a long distance in reaching the goal it had set out to achieve.
