What can appear quite wholesome initially in horror film usually turns sour.
In Cassie Keet’s short He Knows, we follow a man who becomes attracted to a visitor to his shop, but is there something more to his initial infatuation?
He Knows carries a really creepy undertone, with its commentary on voyeurism feeling quite grounded, only adding to its effect.
For a time you may feel like you can telegraph where this short is going but Keet’s script is more adept and flips the narrative whilst making some important social commentary.
He Knows is a disturbing subversion on voyeuristic behaviour and its consequences.
He Knows screens as part of Salem Horror Fest 2023.
