FILM REVIEW: “HAUNTED”

Living up to its title - this haunting piece of short cinema grabs you from the opening shots.  Writer/Director Brandon Young’s use of disturbing inserts throughout the film’s running time sets a tone that is hard to shake off even after the film has come to an end. 

Telling the story of a man haunted by the demons of sorrow, guilt and remorse - we take the journey of recovery and reflection, always waiting for the shoe to drop and present the horrifying origin of the man’s trauma.

The cinematography is a highlight of this short - it’s use of long lenses and focus pulls place you in a heightened reality that is amplified by the brilliant and haunting sound design.  A technically impressive and emotionally stimulating film.
