Here There Be Monsters

I saw this as part of a block of horror shorts at the Satisfied Eye International Film Festival and it was a film that wowed the packed audience. Working on multiple levels - as all good horror should - it's a perfectly constructed short with wonderful cinematography all glued together by an absolutely wonderful performance by the young lead actress. A film with much to say, it does it in style, wearing its themes on its sleeve, but with enough injections of horror to please everyone in the audience. I'm not sure what they put in the water in Australia, but at least half of the great horror films we saw this year were from the antipodes and this was no exception.
