Stucco

Great performance from Janina Gavankar, as the main character and director and writer.

Solid, Interesting story with a satisfying ending, well complemented with the technical aspect, great cinematography, good practical effects and sound.

An all round great short film, I will be looking more from her.

A fascinating short film, using the tools of horrors for reflection of psychological crisis. Well crafted, inspired using pieces of the story, giving a memorable scene about the temptation and the resistence against flesh throne and the best end. A film about loneliness and expressions of deep fears.

No pun intended - it is a bad thing to have any phobia. And one that has you locked in one place (by choice) is not a great one to say the least. Agoraphobia - Agora being market in Greek. Phobos and Phobia meaning scared. So being afraid to leave house so to speak.

The actress is really good - and while the short movie could be a bit shorter (even), it is well told and well shot! Cinematography looks good - digital helping filmmakers nowadays with stuff like that. You still have to get people who are capable and are professional enough to do what they do. Which also is true for the prop department - which is quite important. Because while it all plays in our minds ... the end will give you a look behind ... the wall! And it is important for her and us that this does not disappoint ... and it doesn't! But is it enough to give us an ending we crave? And which one would that be?

OMG very scary and the production design is awesome, it's part horror drama and part body horror, it's a promising debut by Janina Gavankar

This was bizarre in the most tantalizing way. It takes such a simple idea and runs with it to a point where it makes you constantly wonder where it's going, without being directionless. That's kind of rare to see in a short film.

It's definitely not for everyone, though. There are some sexual and visceral moments that I like in a movie, but I can see people being off-put. Think Cronenberg with some Kafka tossed in.

It's challenging and avant-garde. Definitely worth the time.
