Nice mix of shorts too with "Oculus" being the stand out. Glad it won.

"Oculus" was fabulous, it just had me gripped to the seat. I agree with what you said, there is something about mirrors that is really spooky and it was good to have old-fashioned spook appeal in there, but with all the modern elements that kind of made it even more sinister (his mobile ringing, the cameras buzzing etc).

The majority of the shorts blew me away but I was particularly impressed by "Oculus". It was an object lesson in how to do a movie on a very low budget and have the end product exude both originality and bone marrow deep chills. Great stuff and quite inspiring.

"Oculus" looked absolutely beautiful and sucked you in straight away. I'd love to see the first two parts. There was a very Lovecraftian feel to it, especially as he relates the history of the mirror, and it managed to give it an incredibly creepy feel.

Best short film, for me, was "Oculus". It was a superb piece of cinema - a highly impressive piece of work that reminded me of the best of Quatermass - I'd love to see the other parts!

"Oculus" was a great demonstration of what you can do with very little, as long as you have an intelligent writer coupled with an intelligent actor.
