Tuck Me In

About This Movie

Tuck Me In is this tight little short that really leans into the unsettling. The atmosphere is thick, almost claustrophobic, with a simple yet effective premise that spirals into something darker. I mean, it’s just a kid asking his dad to tuck him in, but there’s this tension that builds so quickly—like, you feel the dread creeping in. The performances are spot on, especially given the film's brevity. The practical effects, while not over the top, pack a punch, amplifying the core themes of trust and fear. It’s distinctive in how it plays with expectations. You think it's going one way, but then it twists. Really gets under your skin, honestly.

Short runtime makes it easy to fit in a collection. · Great example of effective minimalism in horror. · Interesting take on childhood fears.
