I do not think I have seen a horror short film this well rounded since the Blinky (2010) Short Film was released. If you have seen that, Beating Hearts is on that level, maybe even past it.

*Spoiler* When the little girl leans in to kiss the grandfather and he quickly turns his head, I thought: “Ooohhh”. *Spoiler Ends* This short film has subtext and a lot of thought behind it.

A more critical look at Beating Hearts:

A quiet naturalism pulsates from the psycho-sexual abyss that is Beating Hearts…Garrett digs in all four corners of the storytelling sandbox, crafting a rich yet simple narrative that recalls the early works of Polanski and Craven just as much as it does a “headline of the week” tragedy or Stephen King story. With a deft hand he guides his leads, Peter Coriarty and Gianna Bruzzese into some very dark territory, proving that the dead eyes of youth can be a dangerously mesmerizing thing to behold.

Good news concerning the Beating Hearts‘ project:

A feature-length version is currently being scripted by Writer/Director Matthew Garrett & Screenwriter David Hauslein.
