Swipr (2017)
8/10
Chilling little short from 2 film makers who should do a feature
23 December 2023
This short filmed entirely in somebody's flat packs more shivers into just under 8 minutes than many horror films manage in 90. The timing of the shocks is immaculate but then Craig and Coleman have years of experience on TV commercials and the like. Emily-Alice Sesto also gives a convincing performance as the frightened femme. There's a final, unlikely, but nevertheless clever twist. Film was first seen on YouTube (it's still there and on Scaredy Bird) and when I saw it on the London Live Film Festival in 2019 I declared that I'd watch out for the next thing Craig and Coleman did. Unaccountably there's been nothing else. This is their one and only credit on IMDb. They've stuck to their promotional stuff. Not only should they knock off more horror for the festival circuit, they clearly have the skills to make their feature film debut. Have a look at "Swipr" and see if you don't agree.
