Wow. I clicked on a banner that sent me to the official website of Peekers. With all of those fancy looking awards on the side of the page, I thought it might be interesting, or at the very least a fun diversion for a few moments. But no. The "Peekers" are some sort of ghoul (what it is is never explained) that possesses and/or assumes the shape of people and makes them hide behind corners "peeking" at you. You end the short as clueless as you were from the beginning. Sadly there is nothing going on in Peekers that would make me able to recommend it to anyone. It's only a couple of minutes long...I guess that's a good thing.

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!

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!

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!
