A lonely man does battle with a relentless piece of music. Starring: Ernest Thomas Directed and written by: Tara Price    If you listen to music most likely its happened to you. You turn it off, but there’s that one song that continues to play over and over in your head. Maybe you want it to go away, or you’re plenty happy to keep jamming to the song. “Earworm” proves just how hard it can be to get that song out of your head.   The gentleman here is just trying to get some sleep, but is suddenly awakened by music. Is it an alarm clock? Nope, it’s the blaring of a song in his head. Instead of enjoying it, he seems to be in excruciating pain. Time after time he just tries to relax, but can’t do it. The music continues to haunt him until he goes to extreme measures to make it stop.   “Earworm” is another short that takes an common situation, and puts a nice touch of horror into it. Ernest Thomas does a great job of showing just how much pain his c...

Evil lives among us on the tree lined streets and painted homes of Suburbia. Be careful whose door you knock on. It doesn’t take much to arouse it. Starring: Barry Tangert, and Kerwin Gonzalez Written by: Joseph Sorrentino Jr. Directed by: Daniel Brown   When people first started doing door-to-door sales, it was probably a much safer time. It’s hard to imagine a world where people would actually leave their doors unlocked. Thanks to Amazon, the days of door-to-door salesmen are coming to an end. “House Call” proves it’s probably better that way!   This short film doesn’t waste too much time getting to the point, as a salesman (Kerwin Gonzalez) soon enough finds himself strapped to a crazy man’s (Barry Tangert) table. Of course nothing good is going to happen to the salesman because the crazy man thinks he’s a doctor, and is ready for surgery. He original calls for heart surgery, but decides to add a couple of procedures before getting to the big one....

A young woman, while attempting to save her father during a Category 5 hurricane, finds herself trapped in a flooding house and must fight for her life against alligators. Starring: Kaya Scodelario, Barry Pepper, and Morfydd Clark Written by: Michael Rasmussen and Shawn Rasmussen Directed by: Alexandre Aja   As a resident of the Sunshine State, “Crawl” presents a movie that’s all too real. We're faced with the possibility of the devastation from a Category 5 every hurricane season. Also, we’re all too aware of the dangers that alligators present anytime we’re near lakes, canals, and even swimming pools. Now combining the two raises the dangers to a whole new level!   Haley is a swimmer for the University of Florida, as in the Florida Gators (haha). After practice her sister calls asking her about their father, Dave (Barry Pepper). Since neither of them can reach him, Haley braves the oncoming hurricane to drive out to his house. This search for her fat...

Ricochet is a pulsating thriller about a young woman named Ana, waking up from a rough night of partying in the basement of her father’s house (i.e., his “man cave”), and discovering a young girl locked in her father’s panic room - his personal vault. Starring: Gianna-Marie, Corrie Fleming, Katelyn Downing, Ayuba Audu, and S. Joe Downing Directed and written by: Tim Earnheart   ‘Ricochet’ is another example of a short film that could be part of a larger movie. Ana (Gianna-Marie) wakes up alone after what seemed like a wild night. She hears something, goes to investigate, and then the surprises begin. She finds a your girl (Corrie Fleming) tied up in her father’s panic room. Before she can get a grip on what’s happening three masked intruders break in the house ready to kill them both.   Just another home invasion movie…not really. It’s more about twists and turns leaving off each segment of the film with a shock to the audience. The action rolls on from beg...

No one rides free. Starring: Colleen Kelly, Gabrielle Niebauer, Will James Johnson, and Steve Young Directed and written by: Dave Bundzen   A woman comes to a stop at a light, which changes her life forever. She quickly has a big decision to make after seeing a screaming woman pop up in the back of the van in front of her. Unfortunately she drops her phone, so has to decide whether to follow the van, or not. Of course she follows with good intentions in mind, but nothing good is about to happen.   "The Devil's Passenger" provides just the right amount of suspense at a perfect pace. A lot of different things could have happened when she eventually investigates the van, but they come up with a creative, and fun ending. Not a lot is said, but both actress do a good job pretending they’re scared.  Check it out for yourself, and feel free to comment!    HorrO
