Short Film: Am I Beautiful? (2017)

It's got to be hard making short films, as no matter how great they may be, as they kind of disappear into the nether after their initial Festival Circuit runs are finished, if they are even lucky enough to get one.

That's why we've decided to showcase some of the many great Horror Shorts that are out there floating around the Interwebs: some are scary, some are fun, and every now and then, we even find one that's a work of art.

The bottom line is that plenty of time and effort went into making them, so they at least deserve to be seen, don't they?

"Based on the Japanese Urban Legend of Kuchisake-onna (The Slit-Mouthed Woman) She'll ask you a question, answer correctly and she'll spare your life but at a cost - May and Zach are moving into their new home unbeknownst to the evil spirit haunting their bathroom mirror - the Slit-Mouthed Woman."

The legend of the Slit-Mouthed Woman is a creepy one, and it actually had people in a panic when it was first spread throughout Japan in the late 70's. This short explores that legend in gruesome detail.


Alright, so the CGI wasn't the greatest, but there's something about Am I Beautiful? that resonates. Probably because the Urban Legend is so damned effective.

Candice Fox is pretty effective too.
