“Directed and written by Jacob Hamblin, this eerie horror short blends classic gothic horror with modern sensibilities. The storytelling approaches it with a careful reverence for the gothic tradition, combining mood, practical effects, and deliberate pacing. Starting with the stately black-and-white cinematography and camerawork, the film is rooted in classic film tradition, particularly of the expressionist vein. But with its foundation of psychologically penetrating, character-focused writing -- and a unflinching exploration of a desperation borne of both passion and poverty” - Omeleto
