So, 'Who Was It: The Beginning (Part 1)' is an interesting little gem in the horror short film category. It’s shot during lockdown, which gives it a raw, unpolished vibe—kind of like a found footage effect, even though it’s not exactly that. The pacing feels a bit uneven, but that really adds to the tension; you never quite know what’s coming next. The atmosphere is thick with uncertainty, playing on the fears of isolation and the unknown. Plus, the practical effects are minimal but effective, enhancing the eerie tone. Performances are grounded and believable, which makes the whole experience resonate more. It’s distinctive in its simplicity and how it captures a unique moment in time. Definitely a curious watch.
