Welcome to Wednesday Short Shorts! Or, yep, those are indeed bad CGI monsters.

Welcome to Wednesday Short Shorts, where I catch up on the plethora of short films I’m trying to get through! Today, we have “Big Bad CGI Monsters.”

"The Tokoloshe" Can't Make Up Its Mind Or, a monster movie about ghosts.

“The Tokoloshe” isn’t a bad film, but it definitely could have been better if it had settled on what kind of horror flick it wanted to be. If you’re looking for something scary, this might not be for you, but if you like light horror, you might enjoy this one.

"Saloum" Is A Helluva Fun Ride Or, a genre mish-mash that totally works.

Anyway, “Saloum” is a wonderful film that spans a variety of genres and manages to blend them into something that’s not only cohesive but also incredibly entertaining (and a little heartbreaking).

Welcome to Wednesday Short Shorts! Or, why picking up furniture from the side of the road is a bad idea.

Welcome to Wednesday Short Shorts, where I catch up on the plethora of short films I’m trying to get through! Today, we have “The Armoire.”

"Everyone Will Burn" Is One Wild Ride Or, my gods, the melodrama.

“Everyone Will Burn” is an absolutely wild ride that begins almost the moment the film does. It just keeps ramping up the crazy and the tension, until it all explodes in the most delightful way.

"Delirium" Is Bleak But Bland Or, the downfalls of curiosity.

Overall, “Delirium” isn’t a bad film, but it isn’t very memorable, either. If you enjoy quiet horror, this might totally be your jam, though.

"Written in the Light" Is Well-Meaning But Misses The Mark Or, on eating disorders and the damage they cause.

“Written in the Light” felt too much like the filmmakers weren’t sure how to counteract how potentially triggering this could be, as the film focused more on the disordered eating itself, rather than the recovery process and how one climbs back out of that pit.

Welcome to Wednesday Short Shorts! Or, now I can't get Semisonic's "Closing Time" out of my head.

Welcome to Wednesday Short Shorts, where I catch up on the plethora of short films I’m trying to get through! Today, we have “Closing Time.”

"I Know Exactly How You Die" Offers Fun & More Or, on writers, women's safety, and tubs of blood.

“I Know Exactly How You Die” is a fun horror film that’s a little bit different from the norm and worth a watch. It’s just gory enough (but not too over-the-top), deals with vital issues, and offers up some female characters who aren’t just there to be victims.

"Ted Bunny" Is a Catastrophe Or, wtf were these people thinking?

I highly recommend avoiding this one and going with another bunny- or Easter-related horror flick this weekend. Check out “Easter Bloody Easter” instead; it’s actually pretty decent.

"Easter Bunny Massacre: The Bloody Trail" Wants To Be "Scream" Soooo Bad Or, adult Easter parties and bunny suits.

There are definitely better Easter horror films out there — and ones with originality — but if you can’t manage to find one of those, “Easter Bunny Massacre: The Bloody Trail” isn’t the most terrible film you’ll ever sit through.

Welcome to Wednesday Short Shorts! Or, 90s nostalgia and the fear of the unknown.

Welcome to Wednesday Short Shorts, where I catch up on the plethora of short films I’m trying to get through! Today, we have “The Fort.”

"Musudan" Is Bland AF Or, a monster movie where nothing happens.

If you enjoy watching people in fatigues traipse around the woods and occasionally die, you might dig “Musudan,” but otherwise, this film is definitely one to skip.

"The Demon Detective" Is A Mixed Bag Or, a film with zero detectives.

Even with a longer runtime, “The Demon Detective” was interesting enough that I wasn’t tempted to pick up a book or something while it was on (but not interesting enough to necessarily care what happened to the characters).

"Fugentango" Is Quirky Fun Or, try to avoid sidewalk cracks.

“Fugentango” is a fascinating glimpse into an aspect of someone’s mental illness and all it contains, that also manages to veer off a bit into some light comedy. It’s definitely a fun little watch, so check it out if you get a chance.

Welcome to Wednesday Short Shorts! Or, the different ways of grieving.

“Let Dan Go” is a brief and intimate glimpse into the lives of people who have tragically lost a loved one and the ways they handle that. Although sad, it also offers hope that grief can not only be survived but can make one stronger, making it an enjoyable watch.

"The Red Book Ritual: Gates of Hell" Is An Improvement Upon The First (Barely) Or, please never make another film in this series.

I definitely wouldn’t want to watch any more of this series if it ever came out. There are absolutely far better uses of your time than watching “The Red Book Ritual: Gates of Hell” or the first film in the series.

"The Red Book Ritual" Is So Sad-Making Or, how not to do a horror anthology.

Overall, “The Red Book Ritual” is a low-budget entry into the horror anthology genre that only barely counts as horror and is more boring than anything else.

Welcome to Wednesday Short Shorts! Or, the end of a journey.

Welcome to Wednesday Short Shorts, where I catch up on the plethora of short films I’m trying to get through! Today, we have “Spiralling,” the last film in the “Baleful” series.

"Vampire Clay" Is Ridiculously Silly Or, the risks of sculpting.

“Vampire Clay” is incredibly silly, but enjoyable.

"Haunted House of Pancakes" Makes Demonic Food Boring Or, why purchasing stuff on eBay might not be wise.

“House of Haunted Pancakes” has pretty good production quality, but that can’t save it from the dullness of everything else.

“Für Elise” Is Quiet But Meaningful Or, when relationships end.

“Für Elise” is probably best summed up as misplaced passion and endings.

Welcome to Wednesday Short Shorts! Or, please don't touch hot stoves.

Welcome to Wednesday Short Shorts, where I catch up on the plethora of short films I’m trying to get through! Today, we have “Tom Is Suffering,” the next-to-last film in the “Baleful” series.

"Baskin" Takes A Ride to Hell Or, what if we carry Hell inside us?

“Baskin” didn’t deliver quite what I was expecting from it, but it delivered enough bloody mayhem and excellent cinematography that the lack of much else is tolerable. If nothing else, it makes for an enjoyable entry into the vibes-based genre of horror.

"Jallikattu" Is WILD Or, what lies beneath.

“Jallikattu” definitely won’t be a film everyone enjoys, but if you let it, the film can take you on quite the journey through what lies beneath the surface of nearly every community, no matter how well they usually come together.

Welcome to Wednesday Short Shorts! Or, reasons to never marry.

Welcome to Wednesday Short Shorts, where I catch up on the plethora of short films I’m trying to get through! Today, we have “A Failed Marriage,” the fifth film in the “Baleful” series.

"Ma Da: The Drowning Spirit" Is More Drama Than Horror Or, why you don't rescue strange dolls from rivers.

“Ma Da: The Drowning Spirit” may not be the best movie for those seeking horror, as it falls more into the drama genre, specifically family drama, but it’s a fascinating look at Vietnamese folklore and culture.

"A Record of Sweet Murder" Is a Difficult Watch Or, is evil ever good?

I’m honestly not entirely sure that I’m happy to have watched “A Record of Sweet Murder.” However, as far as filmmaking goes, it isn’t a bad film. You just need a really strong constitution to sit through parts of it.

Welcome to Wednesday Short Shorts! Or, Spencer doesn't know what happened.

Welcome to Wednesday Short Shorts, where I catch up on the plethora of short films I’m trying to get through! Today, we have “I Don’t Know What Happened,” the fourth film in the “Baleful” series.

"Immanence" Goes Where Many Films Have Gone Before Or, science versus faith.

“Immanence” isn’t a bad watch, it’s just not anything that hasn’t been done before (and better). Adding on a kind of cop-out ending doesn’t help matters, either. But if you like religious horror or even just sci-fi, this one isn’t a terrible film to sit through.
