About This Movie

Alguien mató algo is this curious silent short that plays with horror and drama in a uniquely unsettling way. Shot in stark black and white, it relies on intertitles, giving it an old-school feel that adds to the eerie atmosphere. The story follows a little girl, deeply influenced by the violent images of both television and her Catholic upbringing, as she grapples with her desire for immortality. It’s a haunting exploration of childhood innocence corrupted by external violence, enhanced by practical effects that evoke a sense of realism amidst the surreal. The pacing is deliberate, creating a slow burn that allows the unease to settle in. The performances, especially from the young lead, are captivating in their subtlety, making it distinctively memorable in the realm of short films.
