Short Film Review


Walmer Films have teamed up with Triple-S films to bring you a whole new level of horror in Curd/Pilling/Etheringtons Split. An all new horror short not afraid to break the boundaries of convention horror and brings the audience a contemporary take on the psych. Just when you thought you knew yourself... think again. Split delves you into the mind of madness and makes you wander what we are really capable of and are we aware of the actions we make? While it may feature some tiresome conventions of generic horror remakes that are being forced onto are screens and may not splash gallons of blood at your face; However, Split manges to confuse your emotions from the get go and drag you into the action at force and does not let up until the final frames of the finale...

With an original narrative line and rocking soundtrack Split manages to engage the viewer with its loud, brash in your face suspense, yet a few pacing issues, the ambiguity in it's ending is what really allows the audience to make their own interpretation of this mystical horror.
