Saturday Night Shorts: Film 14
31 Days of Horror 2021 - Film 39
A father and young daughter anxiously await the arrival of the Warrens as their wife/mother is possessed by something evil.
The studio behind The Conjuring Universe chose five shorts from amateur film makers that could loosely tie into their cinematic universe. What's Wrong With Mom is one of those films. This one was a lot like The Nurse. Two minutes of pure tension building but the end doesn't quite pay off as well. Definitely my least favorite of the shorts thus far. The best part was knowing that I only had to read subtitles for two minutes.
If you'd like to view this for yourself here is a link to the film on YouTube...
What's Wrong With Mom
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.
