Why Watch? This is what it might look like if Ken Burns ever made a horror film. This experimental, animated work focuses on a mysterious photograph from the 1930s, and as the camera ducks and dives and expands our view, we find a lot of hidden elements that help solve the puzzle of what’s going on. Gorgeously done with an antique sensibility, it’s a Fantastic Fest alum that might not be for everyone, but if it hits you the right way, it’s delightfully peculiar. What does it cost? Just 5 minutes of your time. Check out the trailer for The Facts in the Case of Mister Hollow for yourself: The Facts In The Case Of Mister Hollow (2008) Trust us. You have time for more short films.

One filmmaker we've had our eyes on for quite some time around these parts is Rue Morgue President Rodrigo Gudino, and he dropped us a line today with an update on the worldwide tour he and three of his short films went on this Halloween season.
As Gudino tells us, "'The Facts in the Case of Mister Hollow' (review here), 'The Demonology of Desire', and 'The Eyes of Edward James' had screenings in South Africa, Las Vegas, Georgia, Texas, and Boston. Along the way the films managed to create a stir and even snag a few awards.
Philip Nutman, programmer for Atlanta's Buried Alive! Film Fest writes 'The Demonology of Desire' (review here) 'was a big hit both with the audience and the jury, who had a meltdown over the film.' The end result was that the festival established a new awards category...

We're happy to report a good time was had by all, and even though we'd seen a couple of the horror shorts shown during the film fest portion already, they really popped thanks to the enthusiastic crowd.
What types of films were there? Only several of the best shorts the genre has seen in some time: Jason Eisener's hilariously brilliant "Treevenge" (review here), the clever and surprising Aussie flick "Spider" from Nash Edgerton, and Ryan Spindell's quite well made "Kirksdale" (the longest entry of the night with a runtime of 21 minutes). These three came in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Beast in Show, respectively, and were all well deserving. They were joined by:

[Editor's note: As I was putting the finishing touches on this review, director Marc Roussel emailed to say his short had just picked up "best short" at Thrillspy Film Festival in Washington, D.C.. Congrats Marc!]
Watching short films is always an odd experience. Maybe it's because of the restrictions on length, or maybe it's just that filmmakers inherently know that cranking out a short film is something they Have to do to break into the biz, but more often than not I find they lack focus and leave me with an overall feeling of dissatisfaction. Of course, there are also rare occasions when a short film can have it all. The brilliant work of Rodrigo Gudiño ("The Facts in the Case of Mister Hollow") comes to mind, and now Marc Roussel's bite-sized, supernatural thriller Remote joins the ranks of the small category.
Why is it so good? Because Roussel was smart enough to focus on the writing. The story of Remote is tight. It takes a high...
