    This is the perfect length for a horror story. Nothing is wasted and it doesn't drag. Great atmosphere and the actors did a fantastic job.

    I just want to nitpick a few minor things. The uniforms....private security? They kind of take you out of the moment when you see it. The voice for dispatch....oh boy, the effect was bad. Other than those few things, it was fantastic.

    @not_the_ATF ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Great acting, great suspense, and the score is spot on. Only critique is costume/wardrobe; sheriff's department wouldn't be wearing private security uniforms - just a small detail that kind of distracts some people from the film. I know it's minor, but the private security patches are glaringly obvious for a rather long scene in a pretty short film.

  • @kevinriley1249

    Good movie but in reality a police officer would not sit back in his vehicle on a break in call and allow his partner to go in alone especially when he says the door is open.

    • @commandericeman8588
      @commandericeman8588 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I thought the same thing. I found it surreal to watch as one officer sat in the vehicle while the other investigated alone.
      They should've conducted a perimeter sweep together then made entry together; then sweept the place together. No one goes anywhere alone is the rule of thumb in situations like these.
      The rookie's flashlight was laughable. Need more lumens bro. The first duty of a flashlight is so an officer can see WTF is going on at a distance in low light conditions. The second duty of the flashlight is to blind and or stun a suspect. What's more, the idea is to carry a flashlight that is large enough (so you can get a good grip on it) to pull double duty as a bludgeoning weapon in a pinch; one that can gouge an unruly suspect's eye and or bust out a car window.
      Secondly, he was holding his flashlight in the wrong hand. Notice the long and clumsy transition that it took for him to move the flashlight from his dominant hand to his non-dominate hand. If a perpetrator had jumped out of the shadows at him and opened fire or lunged at him with a blade or blunt object they could've closed the distance with time to spare.
      The senior officer with his finger on the trigger made me cringe. That's how you end up with an accidental discharge. It only takes .25 seconds to move your finger from the slide to the trigger well; hence there was no need for his finger to be on the trigger when there was no target to engage.
      Also I found it weird how the senior officer sat down in the coffee shop and didn't choose a seat where he wasn't facing the door or some other seat which gave him a tactical advantage if any hostile entered the premises.
