This is a hard short film for me to judge and I must admit up front that I am not particularly a fan of modern horror films. So just because I wasn't thrilled by RED LINES doesn't mean that die-hard horror fans won't love it. It just didn't do much for me.
The story is about a teen who is in detention and when her teacher leaves, zombies appear and try to get her to run. Apparently the teacher is evil, though I really think the plot wasn't that important in this film. Instead, the energy seemed to be on building suspense and mood--not on working out all the details of the story or making it a traditional style of narrative. For me, I just wanted more payoff--not just creepy atmosphere.
