Short Film: Bugbear (2023)

Synopsis

Tom is in desperate need of money to pay off a loan shark, but no one is cooperating with him. As he walks through the woods to a friend’s house, he finds a strange mask in the woods. Suddenly, Tom’s not himself anymore…

Commentary

The black-and-white looks really good, and the camerawork is excellent. This is clearly a “no budget” short film, but it looks good and mostly makes sense… mostly. We don’t know why the mask does this, but it does, and that’s the story.
