Storyline
Featured review
odd and eerie short
Effie Wu invites you into her apartment with a broad smile and unblinking eyes locked on yours the whole time as we are drawn in and lead around the different rooms. But there's something not right about the smile and the gaze though, something unsettling and eerie. Why is she not blinking, why do her eyes never stray from looking directly at us? You can read this great short film in different ways but for me it was creepy. I would put it in the horror genre even though all we see is a smiling, welcoming host inviting us into her home. A fascinating exercise in the subtleties of how we read faces, how small changes can seem unnatural in alarming ways, how a smile that's read as fake suggests that we are being tricked and the consequences for us could be dire.
