There's Some THING in the Closet is a neat little short that packs a punch despite its brevity. The tone is dark, unnerving, and there's a palpable sense of dread that builds throughout. The pacing is tight, with just the right amount of tension leading up to its reveal. It's quite interesting how the film plays with the idea of childhood fears, using a simple closet as a central motif—very relatable yet chilling. Practical effects are used effectively, adding a tangible quality to the monster, which is refreshing compared to all the CGI-heavy stuff out there. The performances, while brief, are quite convincing, making you feel that raw fear. Not groundbreaking but certainly distinctive in how it captures that childhood terror in a few short minutes.
