Free Bench Must Pick Up Today

Directed by Gus Reed

A young couple pay an unexpected price for bringing home a free piece of furniture.
A free church bench from Craigslist is exactly the sort of decision horror characters should know better than to make. Free Bench Must Pick Up Today has fun with that simplicity, then uses framing, score and a particularly unnerving elevator image to make six minutes feel surprisingly tense. The gay horror short film is more atmosphere than story, and the abrupt ending leaves the idea underdeveloped, but the craft is stronger than the premise suggests.
