Peephole

Not original. But well made. A man in an empty apartment. A door knock. And the image of bizarre double. And the terrible revenge of him. Sure, all is deep familiar. B>ut it works and that is the most significant aspect. So, nice horror.

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.
