short
review by Mike Haberfelner

Somewhere along the frontline in Europe during Christmas 1944: Even though
the enemy parties have agreed on a ceasefire over the holidays, neither
side
trusts the other, so privates Kincaid (Motti Ken) and Burke (Daniel
Griesheimer) are out on patrol that night. And the cries they hear from
the other side of the frontline don't especially calm them down. They are
not cries of an animal, but don't sound exactly human either. So
what could they be, and should they be worried? To put it bluntly, of
course they should ...
Now this is fun for sure, a horror miniature that uses many of the
aesthetics and tropes of war movies but with a horror creature attached
(and a pretty impressive and nightmare-inducing one at that). And a genre
savvy directorial effort that's heavy on atmosphere, and a competent cast
help make this work, so the result is a pretty enjoyable 12 minute genre
piece.
