Vermin

About This Movie

Vermin is one of those eerie shorts that really plays with atmosphere. The sound design is unsettling, a constant reminder that something's lurking just out of view. The pacing is tight, keeping you on edge as the girl explores her home, drawn to those strange noises that echo through the corridors. The practical effects, though minimal, are effective in creating a sense of dread without relying on flashy gimmicks. It’s a simple premise, but there's something distinct about how it captures the feeling of isolation and paranoia. The performances are understated yet compelling, which adds to the film's chilling vibe. It's the kind of short that lingers in your mind long after it's over.
