Peekers

I saw "Peekers" at this year's Shriekfest out in LA where I was also a triple finalist in the screenplay categories, and I have to say it was one of my favorite shorts of the whole festival. It was short, simple, with no expensive special effects or fancy locations and yet it creeped the living daylights out of me. Something about that shot of "the Peekers" with the oddness of splitting the face in half, the weird feel, the inexplicableness of it, and that first actress I mean it just nailed it casting-wise with her. It was awesome. It reminded me a lot of the feel you get after reading a really good Stephen King short story.
