I'd really appreciate if you could watch it and maybe give me some feedback.

Happy Christmas!!

Well since you asked so nicely I'll give you a proper critique. I really liked a lot of this short. It was shot well, lit well and had great audio. It mostly worked well too. The main problem I see is that in this sorta film less is more. It was effectively creepy and unnerving until the voice started saying more then little things. Hello a few times and I've found you would have closed the deal nicely. Also the big reveal at the end took all fear of the unknown out of it completely. I feel that you are very capable and could have made a properly scarring ending. However aside from the story direction being ham handed the overall production is great. Understand that I'm just giving you advice because I deem your production worthwhile enough to care. No offense is intended by my opinion.
