Peephole

Peephole is a well-crafted horror short film that delivers genuine scares. The story revolves around a man who looks through a peephole after hearing a knock at the door. To his astonishment, the person standing outside is himself-but he can only see the doppelgänger from behind. At first, he finds it odd yet amusing, but the real terror is just beginning...

Despite its brief runtime of under four minutes, this short film manages to send chills down your spine. The acting is solid, and the eerie music, combined with the black-and-white dance film playing on the television in the background, serves as the perfect finishing touch. The absurdity of that strange detail makes the situation feel even more unsettling and terrifying.

Original concept. I can imagine a movie that has something to do with clones and puppets.

One of the creepiest shorts I've seen. Very effective and original. Can't wait to see what else this director has in store.

'Peephole (2018)' is pretty predictable. After it introduces its main horror element, you can sort of guess exactly where it's going to go. Still, it's generally enjoyable despite this. It's a well-made and efficient little short that creates a solid sense of atmosphere without the use of overtly 'scary' music or grungy cinematography. It's a solid effort with plenty of entertaining moments throughout. 7/10.

I really liked the opening of the short film. The framing, lighting, and cinematography were all done very well. The concept was also interesting, and the use of comic-style music added a unique touch.

But I was really disappointed with the ending. The story started off strong and had potential, but it felt like they rushed it. The ending didn't make much sense and seemed copied from a typical horror scene. If they had taken a bit more time to develop the story and given it a proper message or twist, it could've been a great short film-maybe even 8 or 9 out of 10.

Overall, Peephole is a visually impressive horror short with good music, acting, and concept-but the weak ending lets it down.
