PopHorror Let's Get Scared
I’ve been a huge fan of Tony Morales since I first saw his short film Hada, which scared the shit out of me. Tony continued the trend of creepy shorts with his follow up, Do We Play? Now Tony is back with another short, Black Eyed Child, based on the famous creepypasta.
How does Black Eyed Child measure up to Tony Morales previous work? Read on to find out.
Black Eyed Child follows an elderly oxygen tank clad woman who is trying to sleep on a dark night. She is soon visited by a ghostly child with black balloons and even blacker eyes. Will the woman make it through the night?
Like all of Tony’s work, Black Eyed Child is simply oozing with atmosphere. The short from start to finish overwhelms with a pervasive feeling of dread. The almost absolute lack of light, coupled with the sounds and images on the screen, as well as the special effects, are used to the fullest for maximum creepiness. The sights and sounds that are conjured on screen could give mainstream big budget paranormal franchises a run for their money. The more shorts from Tony Morales I see, the more I wish he would make a full-fledged feature film.
Final Thoughts
Black Eyed Child is another knockout short film from Tony Morales. Tony has a strong understanding of how important mood is to a horror film, and he excels at setting it. Tony, I beg you, please make a feature soon!
