The short film was unsettling and creepy as it was giving it a back story and more detail made it feel cheapened. I feel like we see this a lot - capitalize off some popular internet thing that, when extended, loses some of what made it special in the first place. While I really loved the short film, I don't necessarily agree that it needed the full length treatment.
