Viewing Notes

Another horror short on Day Two at Chicago Horror Film Festival. Also awarded the Best Horror Short at the festival. Wasn’t my favorite but I can see why it won. The cinematography is excellent as are the effects and overall design. It’s almost like a side story from The Walking Dead. It looks and feels just as good. Would like to see Cooper do a full feature film.
