Short Film: Vampire (2024)

 


Directed by Caroline Sheridan and coming in at a smidge under 5 minutes, this 2024 short film is a situational comedy in which one friend (Caroline Sheridan) accuses the other (Grace Larson) of being a vampire.

the friends

There are lots of giveaway signs… they only hang out at night and she’s never seen her friend in the day, clothes that are totally vampire and a daily (or should that be nightly) alarm that says feeding time whilst playing Toccata and Fugue in D minor. All of this is strongly denied by the friend who takes umbrage at being called out for being different.

Actually, the apparent gaslighting at play was really well done and the dynamic between the friends is very skilfully handled. Is it a case of vampirism in the circle of friends, mistaken identity with belief in vampires or simply acting like a vampire? Watching the short will tell all.
