The Third Vase

About This Movie

So, 'The Third Vase' is this intriguing horror short from 2014, crafted for the MOV Curtas contest. The film dives deep into the psyche of a murderer whose obsessive-compulsive disorder shapes not only his life but his crimes too. There's this unsettling atmosphere, almost claustrophobic, as every action is meticulously choreographed around the number three. It's fascinating how the director plays with the themes of order and chaos—each kill feels like a twisted art piece, a release for the character's internal struggle. The practical effects are surprisingly effective for a short, and the pacing really draws you in, keeping you on edge. It’s distinctive in its focus on mental illness within the horror genre, which adds layers to the narrative.
