Synopsis

Virtual reality is an experience where simulation creates something seemingly realistic, and in essence it is not. This simulation brings the body of a human user into a backward match with a computer generated image and allows him a combination of objective physical environment and unrestricted content that resembles imagination and dreams.

Wonderfully executed horror short! Lighting and tone carry this film without question, but the use of technology as a plot driver and the first-person in-game sequences inject a lot of tension with lots of success. There was a part of me that was expecting the monster/killer to be controlling the child in the end as he kills his mother haha game within a game so to speak I would love some more attention to sound design and music, although I understand the limitations of the format and location, and I think the film may be better served by the tension reaching a peak at the end in a more severe and horrific way
