Obviously there is a word play ... at play here! Still no pun intended - especially because stairs are the least of our problems or issues here - as in not on display! Again sorry for the pun - the story is quite simple though I reckon you can feel that there is more to it than is shown (although I am opting to believe it is exactly what we are served).

If you like horror movies (shorts to be more specific), you probably will find something in this that will be to your liking. Guessing how this will end or rather what is true or not ... well does not get you any bonus brownie points! I think it is quite obvious ... that said, still well done or at least decently done.

A terrific little short that keeps you guessing until the end. A young woman brings her boyfriend home to meet the family, but her sister makes some horrendous allegations about family relationships. Is she telling the truth, or seriously mentally unwell?

The atmosphere is chilling, helped by brilliant use of a ticking clock, creaking floorboards and ... silence. The poor guest feels like he has walked into a war zone, as claims and counterclaims challenge his own judgment.

First impressions can be right, but can equally be wrong. This had my mind racing ahead to try to preempt the denouement.

The only name I recognised was Iain de Caestecker, usually reliable but his character is the weak link in this, written as a psychology student but pitched as a utility psychiatrist / social worker / pharmacist / police officer.

Well worth a watch, and only a few minutes wasted if you disagree.
