Screen

About This Movie

So, 'Screen' is a fascinating little project from 2020 that really captures the anxiety of its time, you know? It's a short film, but it's packed with this tense atmosphere that feels very much like a reflection of quarantine life. The pacing is quite interesting; it creates moments of stillness that build up to sudden spikes of fear, which I found pretty effective. The way it plays with the idea of treating every dangerous situation like a pandemic is both clever and unsettling. Practical effects are minimal but used effectively, and the performances feel genuine, even with the constraints of filming during lockdown. It’s distinctive for how it marries the horror genre with real-world fears, making you think about safety in an almost obsessive way.
