Little horror gem

Living With The Dead is a short horror flick that no one expected to be anything. But when it came out in 2002 it took home twelve awards, including best short film, best actor and best director in a short film.

The plot is pretty simple here. It’s a classic ghost story where a typical young man finds a corpse in his flat and does something you don’t do when you find corpse in your flat – he just leaves it alone. This is a fatal mistake as Kyle’s life begins to transform beyond recognition. Kyle begins to slowly realize that if he doesn’t take fast action he will be going insane as the corpse tries to eradicate his social and love interests in life. He messes with his head and his life to the point of transforming Kyle into a different person ready to fight for his right to reclaim his existence.

There is some gore for the horror fan to squirm with pleasure and some fear to keep the intellectual bunch riveted to their seats. The visuals are stylish, gothic and startling and the suspense nails you down to your seat until the last second of this short feature.
