Written and directed by Jack Pirie and released in 2018 this 4.5-minute short could feature something other than a vampire, but what we see fits into the mould and in looking at it through a vampire genre lens we get an interesting take on the mirror lore.
Valerie (Nichola Burley) is a dancer and has just received a knock back from an audition as her performance lacked bite.
She returns to a practice space and, before a wall of mirrors, starts on her routine. However, she fluffs it at the end. Suddenly her reflection isn’t her. The reflected Valerie mocks her and shows her the routine perfectly. It is a testament to Nichola Burley that, through expression, she sells two different yet identical characters. Eventually the mirror version shows that she has a maw of blood-stained teeth…
