Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Manthast Absolutely amazing

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Peekers" is an American English-language short film from 2008, so this one will have its 10th anniversary next year. The writer and director is Mark Steensland and this is one of his most known works and also same applies to the two writers and the cast, even if for the latter it doesn't mean much because the actors are hardly professional actors looking at their bodies of work. The two who play the old couple could even be husband and wife in real life looking at their names. The story here is fairly effective for an 8-minute movie. A man just wants to eat breakfast, but is called by a neighbor to his house where strange happenings occur apparently. The wife stands upstairs and talks weird stuff while she should be somewhere entirely else. Creeped out by the same thing happening to the old man too, our hero leaves for his own house again, but he took something with him. So yeah, this honestly looked like a pretty low budget production and I am not sure if I see any talent in here in terms of acting or directing, but the story makes it worth watching and lets me ignore (at least to some extent) the fact that the production values and overall outcome look pretty cheap and amateurish. I still give it a thumbs-up, Worth seeing for spooky film lovers.

Alan Rowe Kelly They're living right next door! Across the street! Now they're in your home! I saw this dark little beauty this past September at the 2008 Dark Carnival Film Festival in Bloomington, Ill. It scared the living daylights out of me! No blood. No gore. Just good old fashioned 'creeps' by taking the 'average' everyday suburban neighborhood and turning it into a children's game-gone-nightmare. And the old man's wife at the top of the stairs?? Yikes! Chilling! Now I know why I don't deal with my own neighbors! Excellent short film from a very clever director. I can't wait to see what he creates next! This little horror flick is must see- look for it!

wirrrn Just saw this excellent short horror film PEEKERS as part of the NIGHT OF HORROR at the 2008 Revelation film festival in Perth, West Australia.Of the eight film shown, this one was one of the three ( along with others KIRKSDALE and THE ANCIENT RITE OF COREY MCGILLIS) that managed to terrify me- and I see a *lot* of Horror films. Bonus points to Mr. Steensland was for making PEEKERS such an awesome, unsettling, truly creepy film a] in such a short running time and b] without shedding one drop of blood! I found myself genuinely frightened by the concept, especially by the line "She wasn't threatening, but I felt threatened" and the shot of the newsreader 'peeking', suggesting it's happening everywhere.give it a peek!

emobadger I saw this short at Dead by Dawn 2008 Edinburgh's horror film fest, I'm surprised by the votes it currently has here on IMDb. There was an audience vote at DBD to choose the best short horror of the festival, this came third. Personally I voted it to win. It's very low budget yes, but it affected my psyche a lot more than many of the ridiculously high budgeted shorts on display which I'll never think about again. This short really freaked me out! The idea is really simple but effective. Reminded me of some nightmares i've had. The actors involved did a good job too in realising this story, especially that guys wife at the top of the stairs!! eek! Very Twilight Zoneseque which can only be a good thing.I'd like to say bravo!
