How can you be filmmaker of the year when you aren't using film? This 46 minute *film* looks like it was shot on a smart phone and a GoPro (likely because it was). It qualifies as a short because it doesn't even make it to an hour. The first segment (of 5) takes nearly 8 and a half mins. with less than 30 seconds of payoff, and a final scene shot by a character that doesn't exist. The rest of the stories all have washed-out color, appear to have been shot in 1 or 2 takes, poor nat sound, zero production value, and a song thrown in here and there. Extra points for the sex chair thrown into the last episode for no reason. Considering the new normal of everyone being an auteur in making vids and putting them up for free on YouTube, this, for Generation Z and millennials, is apparently the future of horror to have gotten a deal on Amazon Prime. I weep for future generations.
