Dan Abel’s review published on Letterboxd:
Saturday Night Shorts: Film 16
31 Days of Horror 2021 - Film 41
A group of kids explore a haunted old house one night.
The studio behind The Conjuring Universe chose five shorts from amateur film makers that could loosely tie into their cinematic universe. Innocent Souls is one of those films. This one is in the middle of the pack. Not as bad as the previous two but not as good as the first two. Innocent Souls packs as many jump scare attempts and creepy nik naks as it can into it's two minute runtime. I'm glad I watched these five shorts as a completionist but I'm more glad it's over. Only one of them was really worth the time, and this wasn't it.
If you'd like to view this for yourself here is a link to the film on YouTube...
Innocent Souls
In a first for my Saturday Night Shorts project I reviewed five short films in one day because they all tie into The Conjuring Universe and that is the next franchise that I am tackling for 31 Days of Horror. To visit my listing of previous Saturday Night Shorts check out the link below.
