dont open the coffer

This short movie is pretty well made too. The sound effect put all the moments in great tense and the end was pretty surprising. And the coffer what it content make it pretty uncertain about what was in it.

Middle of the road

As far as their shorts go this one falls somewhere in the middle. Not the best but definitely still an intriguing concept. A little meh at the end.

the fear

...and its birth with real simple tools. that is all. a woman. an old chest. a sound. and the end. like others films by David Sandberg, the real admirable thing is the return at origins. to scary in the old style fashion, remembering German fairy tales, using the viewer as part of game, suggesting more than giving. proposing the atmosphere more than the story. and this is the motif for who, the chain of 3 minutes short films of David Sandberg are great refuges for classic horror fans.

Room for more.

I think that the space created here was just enough for a better ending. It was rather obvious what we were about to see from the very start, so I would describe it as eerie more than anything.

A little mystery at first, curiosity and very fast fear is installed. The story rushes to show us what it's all about yet it just feels that there was room for better.

All in all, good practice for Sandberg and his future work. His long length projects so far, are quite the step up from the typical horror of today. Looking forward for more.

Cheers!

What's in the coffer?

'Coffer (2014)' goes on for about five seconds too long, pushing past its perfect ending to finish on a kind of anticlimactic note. Still, it's a confident and competent horror short overall. It does a good job in building suspense and features a convincing central special effect. There's a strong sense of atmosphere and the cinematography is on point, too. It's an effective short film. 6/10.
