So, 'Dave Called in Sick Today' is this short horror piece that really leans into the unexpected. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and it’s all about that slow build-up, which I find quite effective for a film of its length. The pacing keeps you on edge, making you wonder just how sick Dave really is, and the practical effects—while minimal—hit just the right notes when they appear. It’s refreshing to see a film that can evoke so much with so little. The performances, though brief, carry a weight that feels genuine, especially in such a tight runtime. It’s got a unique charm, really, and definitely stands out in that Four4 competition lineup.
Interesting take on horror with a focus on psychological tension.Tight runtime but effective pacing that enhances the unsettling vibe.Practical effects used sparingly, which adds to the film's overall impact.
