"Just don't get it anyone's way." Time for another chilling horror short film. This one is titled Surveyor, made by English filmmaker John Panton. It's a companion piece to Panton's other supernatural short film Line Signal. Surveyor is about a surveyor who is hired to inspect an abandoned mansion for a client who is looking to renovate it. As you can suspect, when he arrives and begins his work he discovers there's more to this mansion than expected. Spookiness ensues. The film stars Aidan Casey, Katie Villa, Alex Winters, Mike Wozniak, and Cromerty York. This is a good short set around one place with an eerie atmosphere.
Thanks to GeekTyrant for the tip on this short.

The most annoying thing about short films are that they're rarely captioned or subtitled. As a deaf cinephile, I am often forced to enjoy only largely distributed films. I encourage you and others to start this discussion - encourage the makers of the short films to start captioning their works. It would fill in a huge gap for many of us.

the first 6 minutes were outstanding; he just had a little trouble with the ending. i'd like for him to work on this theme more though......he does a great job with capturing a "haunted house" atmosphere. edit - watched "line signal" too - same great atmosphere. if this guy would get a solid supernatural script together, i'd hope someone would back him so he could make it. with all the bad horror films being made, it's hard to believe this guy can't get a shot at a full feature film.

I think they spent longer on the poster than making the film . Couldn't even get through it, sorry.
