Benny and Steve Almost Die is this short horror piece that’s got a raw energy to it. The pacing darts around, keeping you on edge without overstaying its welcome. The atmosphere is thick, and it really captures that sense of impending doom—like you’re waiting for something to jump out at you, which it does in ways that feel very grounded. I appreciate the practical effects here; they have this visceral quality that CGI often just misses. The performances are pretty solid too; you can feel the desperation in Benny and Steve. It’s not groundbreaking, but it has its moments that linger, and that’s what makes it distinctive in a sea of forgettable shorts.
