I may well have found the freakiest minute of horror EVER thanks to the boys out at Fewdio.
It’s called Mockingbird, and it sets up easily enough, with a young father listening to his baby monitor as his baby starts crying, and his wife goes to care for the little one. But what he hears quickly turns sinister…and all is not what it seems. Sounds trite, I know…but man…what they did here.
Pay SPECIAL attention to the one minute one second mark. I don’t usually give timestamps, but it actually took me three times listening to it and a comment from the comments section before I finally understood just what exactly was said there. And frankly, when you hear it exactly right, the bottom falls out of the whole thing and almost as suddenly, the creepy factor ratchets up by literally ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE.
Keep a change of pants handy, folks…you might need them after a round of Mockingbird.

Glad you like this one! It’s one of my personal favorites as well.
And perfect ironic timing on reviewing this one, by the way…. the director, Marichelle, along with her husband and writer of the piece, Drew, had their baby yesterday!

Wow. That IS some freaky timing. Congratulations to the happy couple, and hopefully they can keep churning this kind of material out. Seriously, though–could anything have been done about the audio on that? I could barely make it out.
