This horror short will hunt you for a long time

Well worth seeing!

Effectively scary, evocative short about a young woman rummaging through things and memories in her late father's (almost) empty house. More than one secret is revealed for better or worse in the course of one night.

Probably made on a tight budget, but the only-one-setting dogma works brilliantly in experienced director Craig Franks favour and only enriches the spookiness and claustrophobia.

No spoilers but not surprisingly it turns out that the mask in the title of the movie is both malicious and hard to get rid of.

Sidsel Rostrup is a find in the lead as the daughter Sydney. And the music is great.

The horror genre features stories that aim to elicit fear, suspense, and a sense of dread in its audience. Horror stories often explore themes related to the unknown, the supernatural, and the macabre, and they frequently evoke strong emotional reactions such as anxiety, terror, and unease.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.
