If you are looking for actual zebra horror, you'll have to look elsewhere; no animals, cloven-hoofed or otherwise, are found in this wicked little short by filmmaker Peter Spann.
Subverting expectations are the name of the game here and, despite its four minute run time, it succeeds rather well, even though it doesn't ask its actresses to do a whole lot. The film would have been helped a bit by delaying the reveal a beat longer.
The biggest shortcoming of this short is that the action is unconvincing. Better editing and shotmaking would do wonders here. If you came to this short to soak in the sights of Ellie Gonsalves, you will be also mostly disappointed. But beyond those critiques, this bloody little gore short is not a waste of four minutes.
