SELFIE (2016)

From NARU, Selfie is a 3 minute short horror featuring a malfunctioning phone camera and some spooky happenings.

I didn't expect too much from this; horror concerning mobile phones doesn't have much uniqueness left to exploit. Maybe expecting less from this allowed me to enjoy it more. Following a case of filming and the recording acting strange compared to the real life, Naru manages to make a tense atmosphere within simply 3 minutes. Although not the best ever atmosphere - if this was the case for a feature length, I'd be leaving a very angry review - for a horror short, this is well done.

This had me fiddling in my seat, watching the corner of the screen to ease some tension and try my best not to jump out my skin (which I did, much to my partner's delight). A relatively strong film to start with Naru's directing, I do look forward to watching more from him.
