Watch: Tony Ukpo's Creepy Horror Short ABOUT CLAIRE

What is about Claire that makes two other women so agitated and nervous? To find out, watch About Claire, the new short film from writer/director Tony Ukpo (Random 11 and others).

With a simple set-up, sharp moments between the two women (including Emily Lucienne) in a diner, a menacing sound design, and a concise running time of just over 5 minutes, About Claire fits my definition of an effective horror short: evocative and to the point, with a moody hint of its inspiration in character-based, creepy horror movies that were common in the 70s.

Ukpo is currently in post-production on his sci-fi drama After the world ended.. Below you'll also find a teaser for Ukpo's Random 11, which our own Todd Brown wrote about last year.
