Nightmare is a compilation of fear factors. The short attacks all your sense, except touch, because then you would have to call an exorcist who will tell you they have to send word to the Vatican and it could take a while. Then you realize, your computer is possessed and you can’t watch your cat videos! So you turn back to your phone and watch Nightmare for the second time on your phone! Because your phone has been blessed. 

As you put on her head phones and press play, images begin to play. You are transported to an abandoned house where a new monster or entity awaits. You are trapped in your own nightmare and have absolutely no idea how to escape. Then you wake up drenched in your sweat!

The film is shot in first person, which makes you the protagonist. Every monster in the film is very well crafted. The special effects makeup seem so terrifyingly real that I believed the monster existed. The cinematography of the film is captivating and frightening. I felt like I was in a never ending maze of the most gruesome monsters. The deteriorating house created an eerie feeling as you navigated the corridors. The disorienting feeling captured the feeling of being in a dream like state. Nightmare is a fear you love.

I would love to play this film in the dark at 3 am with sound canceling headphones and bask in its fearful art. As a horror piece it is a beautifully crafted piece of art. In three minutes, I believe, it captured the essence of an nightmare come to life. Personally I was thrilled and excited to experience this short! And yes it is an experience, so check it out!
