That’s Not Me, Short Film Review by Case Wright


“That’s Not Me” is proof that you don’t need a lot of time to build concern and suspense for your protagonist. Honestly, I’m not sure why I like short films so much. It’s obvious why I like AI films- I’m a NERD like a REAL NERD like, studies math for fun, NERD! I think I like short films because I like instant gratification sometimes. It’s fun to enter a world, exit it, and be moved in less than thirty-minutes.

The mirror scare is a cliche and is inherently in a private/vulnerable space. Think of ALL of the things that you have done in a bathroom; now, imagine if you did the exact things in a hotel lobby, 4/5 of the people there would be upset.

Our protagonist is brushing teeth, but the reflection is not hers. It’s a predator and it’s hunting her. “That’s Not Me” delivers a good quick scare!
