Secrets in relationships can turn deadly, especially when you’re in a horror film.
In Zach Siegel’s short You Can Stay Over (If You Want), Alex is faced with revealing a secret when his hookup stays over, but will it be a deal breaker?
You will never guess the revelation but what follows is quite endearing, and shows that despite differences people can co-exist with compromises.
Siegel expertly builds tension, and shows that sometimes a look from a character is far more haunting than the horror itself.
You Can Stay Over… plays more like a fairytale than an out and out horror, but it carries a strange and hypnotic mood that will keep audiences engrossed.
You Can Stay Over (If You Want), screened as part of Sohome Horror Pride 2024.
