The short film Don't Move is a suspenseful horror story that creates intense fear through silence and stillness. Right from the beginning, the film captures attention with a chilling ritual that goes terribly wrong. A group of friends accidentally summons a deadly spirit that hunts by sound. From that point on, the characters must remain completely silent and still to stay alive.

The film gives off a strong feeling of fear and tension. The atmosphere is quiet, but every small noise becomes terrifying. The story moves quickly, keeping the viewer hooked with unexpected twists and scary moments. At its heart, the film warns about the danger of messing with supernatural forces.

The characters, though not deeply developed, seem believable in their reactions. Their fear feels real, and the actors use body language and facial expressions effectively, since there’s very little talking. One character in particular stands out for her bravery in trying to escape without making a sound. The way the characters interact, especially their concern for each other, adds emotional weight to the story.

Visually, the film uses darkness, candlelight, and close-up shots to build suspense. The camera focuses on faces, trembling hands, and slow movements, making the viewer feel the danger of every small action. The sound design is a key strength. There’s no music—just silence, breathing, creaks, and sudden attacks—which makes the fear more intense.

Overall, Don't Move is a strong horror short film that uses silence in a clever and terrifying way. Its biggest strength is how it creates fear without showing the monster clearly. The film delivers a powerful emotional reaction and leaves a lasting message: some things are best left alone, and sometimes silence is the only way to survive. It’s a short but unforgettable experience that horror fans would enjoy.
