This is supposed to be a comedy horror short film, so that's where I'm putting my review. But I've made the background yellow instead of black, because it really is more of a comedy... There is a monster in it, but the real horror is having one's livelihood jeopardized by star ratings from customers who will find any reason to rate someone poorly, even if they do a good job.
It's about a locksmith (played by Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, who is familiar to me from at least a couple of things) who gets called in for a job one night. The woman who called him is obviously suffering some pretty bad sleep deprivation, on account of a closet door that just won't stay closed. And despite the locksmith's best efforts, it keeps opening. Eventually he discovers something shocking about the nature of one of the light switches inside the closet. To say much more would require spoilers, but I will say he goes above and beyond in his efforts, and finally gets the door to stay closed. But that's not quite the end of the story.
Well, you can watch the short for yourself, and I promise you'll be entertained. It's very funny, and full of surprises, and maybe a scare or two.
