Hale really are the highlights in an otherwise great short film, offering a pair of performances that are downright funny, and fun. They\u2019re seemingly normal people whose life is thrown in to disarray by the introduction of a small item like the Halloween decoration. The more they investigate the darker the movie gets, and director Short is able to derive some good tension from this inexplicable force of evil. I wish we could have gotten more of a reason for why Jake felt so unnerved by the decoration, but that doesn\u2019t hinder the intended effect. Short successfully takes a small mundane incident and turns it in to a bonafide concept for an interesting comedic horror narrative.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in;\"><span class=\"a-size-large\"><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in;\"><strong>This year, The Chattanooga Film Festival runs from <\/strong><em><b><span style=\"font-style: normal;\">June 21<sup>st<\/sup> through 28<sup>th<\/sup> (June 21<sup>st<\/sup> &#8211; 23<sup>rd<\/sup> In-Person, and June 21<sup>st<\/sup>-28<sup>th<\/sup> Virtually)<\/span><\/b><\/em><strong><i>.<\/i><\/strong><b><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watch These Films (WTF) Shorts Block Director and Writer Ronald Short\u2019s horror comedy is a great little Halloween treat just a few months before the festivities begin, and I loved the spirit behind it.
