Other than a couple of small technical problems (which is to be expected in these low budget indie projects), The Foreboding: Fractured is an extremely solid short that manages to accomplish a surprising amount with its short run time.
Never has a horror short had me this invested in the characters before. The charming cast bring to life the more human, comedic scenes with this group through some really solid chemistry and lively physical performances. It never felt like the script was relying on archetypes or cliches, instead it feels like you're following a genuine group of uni students.
It makes the horror scenes all the more tense once they do kick in, and that paired with the direction and score makes you feel invested in every step of this narrative. If anything, I left the film wishing it was longer, as the atmosphere of the experience is a very compelling one. Very excited to see what this crew do next.
