When a group of friends visit an derelict hospital strange things begin to happen. This tightly scripted short from David Malcolm has some dry witty moments along with an unnerving conclusion that shows clear evidence that he understands the horror genre. Best viewed with as little previous knowledge as possible.

Old English houses are a mecca for American tourist and Darkmoor Manor is no exception. It's checked past is littered with disappearances, murders and the latter years sightings of ghoulish apparitions. Friends Cassie and Morgan can't resist when their handsome local guide offers them a private tour of Britain's most haunted house. The girls get more than they bargained for during Tom's nighttime expedition. This lean British short was of the better ones showing at this years Film 4 Frightfest. Although it is a simple story, the tension builds nicely to the pay off. Scream Queens, Jessica Cameron and Heather Dorff play off each other very well, making for a believable friendship. I am interested to see what writers and directors could do with the feature length format.
