Night Night (2016) 

*** (out of 4) 

A young boy keeps seeing a clown outside his window, which sends him running into his father's room. The father, thinking he's just dreaming, keeps sending him back into the room.

This six minute short film from director Justin Doescher is actually a lot better than some of the higher profiled "clown" movies from recent years. The set-up is pretty simple and follows that classic theme of parents not believing their children when they tell them about monsters. I thought both J.P. Veizaga and Santiago Veizaga were good in their roles of father and son. The film lacked any high tech camera-work but obviously they were working on a small budget. I will add that the clown itself was quite creepy looking. This one here is certainly worth watching.

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.
