Don't Move (2013)

Absolutely the worst movie.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

While the idea behind Don't Move is nothing special, it is interesting and makes the viewer think a little bit. You can just imagine how difficult it would be to stand perfectly still as if your life depended on it; it's relateable and I feel like that's what makes it feel so unnerving. The fact that you could watch your friend die before your eyes and wouldn't be able to flinch a muscle lest you meet the same fate is terrifying and exactly why I found Don't Move to be such a well-executed short.The acting is decent and the special effects are flawless; albeit the gore is overdone as is the case with most horror shorts (gotta pack a lot into such a brief run-time I suppose). Because of the overdone gore and the fact that the idea is very unoriginal in most aspects, I'm being slightly generous with my mark of 8/10. With camera work, special effects and acting like this, Don't Move could even be considered better than most modern full-length horror flicks.

"Don't Move" is a British 14-minute horror film from 2 years ago and it's pretty much what one can expect. lots of blood, lots of gore and violence, but unfortunately not really a convincing or interesting story that hasn't been done before. There are some comedic elements like the ending, but it's also not working particularly well from the fun perspective. Fans of the television series "EastEnders" will maybe be shocked watching this one and its lead actress Rachel Bright. The director is Anthony Melton and the writer is David Scullion and it shows that both have not too much experience in the movie industry. But you can also hold this in their favor and hope they manage to step it up with their next projects. "Don't Move" is a film where I say: Don't watch.

A low-budget independent film with some spectacular production standards and a well crafted concept. Well written, well produced and well executed. This is a top quality short movie with some production value and a very well directed mini-plot.The 13 minute short "Don't Move" is actually better than the last dozen or so full length horror movies I've watched. The voices volume are kind of lowered in comparison to the score, but the sound effects live out one second to none which result in an excellent surrounding outcome.A Ouija board can somehow be seen as cliché but nevertheless, this is one of the scariest short movies I have ever seen and believe me... I have seen a lot.
