I thought this was a really unique little horror flick.
Sure, it has a few of the standard horror movie tropes, and I feel like the script was a little over-written, but that's kind of where the criticisms end.
It was a fun little plot that was engaging throughout the (fairly short) run time. The ideas about art imitating life and vice versa was a fun take, and it didn't feel too on-the-nose. I appreciated the fact that it was pretty to the point and didn't feel the need to drag things on. The kills were fun, which is always important in a film like this, and I want to particularly point out cinematography and lighting; they did an excellent job with both. The third act was also a really great way to end it, which I was surprised by.
I didn't have high hopes going into this one but I really enjoyed it!
