The Night Whispered

Nicholas Vince brings us a horror short that harks back to old school chillers. Early in the film you are rewarded with dread through the expert use of a spine-chilling score, both moody and stark cinematography and unexpected camera angles. I see this creepy and compact nail-biter going straight into my Halloween rotation.

I thoroughly enjoyed this short film by Nicholas Vince. Wonderfully scored and masterfully shot, it succeeds at the difficult achievement of so naturalistically lighting night exteriors. Moody and atmospheric, it effectively creates tension and surprise with its economic storytelling.

Highly recommend you give this fabulous short a look. Just the right amount of creepy to keep your attention while the soundtrack helps in giving you that down your spine tingle while waiting to see what happens next. Fantastic job done by all special mention going out to the adorable pup Bertie :) Congrats to the entire team this one was Fabulous cannot wait to see whats next.

Fantastic atmospherics and use of sound. The scene setting and location choice is perfect for a short. You know something bad is going to happen to them (I mean, it is Nicholas Vince) but you remain involved up until the end. I adored the use of a children's choir as well - there is nothing that sets up creepy better! I am looking forward to the next project.

A wonderfully-crafted brief work that still manages to impart chills and anxiety at an accelerated rate.

Within just a few seconds of starting, the viewer experiences images and sounds that almost have a comforting familiarity...(as well as a very palpable sense of dread).

Many of us will be well-familiar with the setting (a starting scene that could be something out of any evening of any one of our own lives); the way the characters interact among themselves also lends a feeling of personal experience to the viewer.

By the time fear has truly settled in and grips us, it is already too late to escape. It feels like a gentle, gradual "easing-in"; being lured towards something; being seduced into a situation that is seemingly harmless (camouflaged by a force that has only one dark motive).

The film delivers enjoyable frights that successively occur, one right after another, to the characters. I loved how easy it was to watch and would relish a full-length version if ever possible. There are hidden secrets to be explored within this little gem; I found myself immediately searching online for information and interpretation (especially) about one character in particular right after the movie ended. Watch this film...simply brilliant, brilliantly simple...excellent work from Nicholas Burman-Vince...(I crave more now).
