Short Film Saturday: Midnight Clear (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?

"An unstable husband forces his family to celebrate a macabre and deadly Christmas."

Christmas may be well behind us now, but this little short that we saw in December still delivers the goods, and deserves some love.


We liked two things about this short film. First, Jessica Morris, who has starred in her fair share of genre movies like Venom, Trophy Heads, and American Exorcism, is a Hottie. We'd love to see her in more movies.

Second, it ended in a completely different place than it began, twisting our expectations in a fairly deft manner.

Not bad at all.
