It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Like pretty much everyone who commented on the film, I agree this is very well made for a student film. The visuals--the makeup, the effects, the cinematography--are as well done as a lot of commercially released movies. There isn't a lot of dialog--we are shown more than we are told, a technique which I think more scary movies should pay attention to.A mother wakes up in the middle of the night and seems to be having visions that revolve around her daughter. It was easy, as a parent, to allow myself to feel the dread of not feeling that your child is safe.__SPOILER __ I also thought this story said something about the nature of suffering. Although the woman was supposed to be in Hell, reliving the terrible act she had committed, this could represent anyone who is in a prolonged state of pain. For example, I was recently laid off, and every day I relive the events that led to my sitting home with no job. In a way, I feel just as trapped, in a room with no doors, not even able to get an interview for a new position. That's a pretty specific example, but I think it's noteworthy that I was able to find this connection in a student film, while so many professionally done movies feel completely unrelated to the everyday experiences that make up our lives.

I knew nothing about this lil flick besides that it was a short and that it's supposed to be scary. I wouldn't go as far as some of the other comments saying it's really scary or whatever, but it did deliver a chill or two and also delivered a somewhat disturbing story.Story revolves around a mother who seems to be losing her mind. Pretty simple, but effective.With smart camera-work and music, and a lead who's pretty believable, Daughter delivered more than it didn't. For a short that actually was slightly scary, it's almost unfair to nit-pick at it's short-comings. So I'll just leave it at that and say if you do have the chance to see this flick, give it a shot. It's worth 10 minutes of any horror fans time.

A mother (Marcie Seklecki) wakes up in the middle of the night from a terrible nightmare. She goes to the kitchen and then to check on her daughter Sophie (Jennifer-Ashlyn Qualey). Everything seems to be alright until she hears strange noises coming out of the bathroom. She tries to get in, but some invisible force prevents her from doing so. And once she finally makes it inside, she wishes she had never opened the door. There's really not much to tell about this excellent (although short) horror film except for - "If you get a chance to see it, don't hesitate!!" It's really worth the time. The only thing I did not like about it was that the director relied too much on unnecessary scary noises and fast-paced images. I wish he had concentrated more on psychological horror aspects. Still, this film IS worth the ten or so minutes of your time.My rating: 8/10

This movie is great, if you want to see an incredibly scary short, see this. As far as i know it is only available at very select places, possibly on at the FSU film school. I myself am trying to get into the film school here and this is a great student film! I have great respect for Eduardo and his current work. Keep up the good work. - James Segars
