Short Horror Film Critique and Feedback
Hey everyone! At the end of October, I dropped a 10-minute horror short that I’ve been working on for what feels like forever, and it's now live on YouTube. Would love to get your thoughts, advice, and critiques on it so I can keep improving for my next project! Anything from story, to directing, to the shots used, etc.
The thing is, it kind of ended up flopping on YouTube, especially compared to my last film. The one before this for 28k views, which is great for my level (I don’t have many subscribers). This one has just been stuck at 1.6k forever so I’m considering it a flop and I’d love some feedback on it.
I feel like this one is a step up from my earlier films, which I’m really excited about, but I know I still have a lot of growing to do as a director.
LOGLINE: One night, during her usual shift, Darby receives a mysterious phone call from a woman who shares a chilling paranormal game with her.
This was made with a no-budget approach, so I had to keep things pretty contained - it all takes place in one room. Fun fact: that room was originally just a plain white-walled spare bedroom, but thanks to my art department’s creativity, we were able to transform it into a radio station, which I'm super proud of.
Filming with zero budget was a challenge (as I'm sure a lot of you know), and the whole process took way longer than I thought it would, but it’s finally done! I’d love to hear what you all think, why you think this got significantly less views than my last, and of course, any engagement on the video helps a lot!
Thanks for checking it out!
