The Dead Ones

A delicate subject well used , exploring the nuances of relations, cohabitation and freedom. A car accident and a murder. And a gesture changing everything. Simple, precise, more than a good short horror because , in special way, it seems be a film about its viewers.

I've watched numerous horror shorts over the years, and only a few have stood out as professionally produced and this is one of them. The dialogue sounded natural, acting was on point, and the camera work was high caliber.

The characters are well-rounded with each of them attempting to achieve their own goals. The lead character just wants rid of the ghostly man who continually haunts her (though she deserves her torment). A murderous husband has his own sinister agenda, and the the two ghosts within the story have ulterior and somewhat selfish motives themselves.

The twist ending felt natural and deserving, at least it did for me, especially deserved for what happened to the lead character. Sometimes, when you don't truly make things right, you continue to be haunted by your demons.
