Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Foreverisacastironmess I love this short, it's so gripping to me that the seventeen minute run time really zips by. It's very atmospheric and very British, and has a nice slow buildup of tension that starts at the beginning as it shows the girl's lighted face as she drives alone on the road at night, and then when she encounters the aggressive punks, and of course when she finally encounters what appears to be a harmless old woman who she picks up out of the kindness of her heart. What the brief story builds up to isn't spectacular or anything but I'm quite satisfied, I like the subtlety of that ending, and how exactly just what happens isn't said out loud to the viewer. It's foreboding how the car just sits there as the lights change and the old woman gets out and hobbles away into the rain. I thought it was very moody and effective. And despite the pretty terrible quality of the print that's on Youtube, not that I'm complaining, the atmosphere still comes through really well. A very unsettling little performance from Avis Bunnage as a murderous old lady, especially when she balefully glares over at the nervous Judy Neesam. There's something so threatening about her eyes, it gave me a real chill, you could imagine what being in that kind of situation would feel like. when dealing with strangers you just never know what you could be in for. I love the colour scheme, it's very bold and gives things a distinctive eerie tone, there's lots of spooky blue and yellow hues, almost comic book-like to me.. I like it a lot, it's very old fashioned and kind of plain I guess, but it's still a very effective short that is genuinely unsettling, and it's well worth watching. It should really be included on a horror collection or something, it deserves to be seen, because it's a real creeper... So long folks, watch who you pick up!

Bonehead-XL Another urban legend inspired short film from the glory days of USA's Saturday Nightmares. Like James Dearden's previous short "The Contraption," "Panic" is all about slow pacing gently building tension. The story revolves around a model going out for a drive to her next job. The night is rainy and, as she drives through the city, she is accosted by rube punks. Despite the nasty vibes the city puts off, she still decides to stop and pick up an old hitchhiking lady. This turns out to be a mistake.Not much happens over "Panic's" 17-minute run time. There are long scene of Mandy just driving around, the synth score droning away. However, the short slowly builds a sense of unease. From the beginning, it feels like the entire world is against our protagonist. The rain beats repetitively at her windows. Nothing happens at first when she picks up the old lady. Still, the driver and the audience feels like there's definitely something wrong with the elderly woman. The sting in the scorpion's tail doesn't come until the very end, the film dragging the tension out as tortuously long as possible. The ending goes for quiet chills instead of abject thrills. The silent eeriness of that final image is destined to stick with you a lot longer then any jump scare would have. James Dearden would later become better known as the screenwriter of "Fatal Attraction" and would, disappointingly, never direct a feature horror film. What a shame, as the guy obviously had the talent for it.

Leofwine_draca PANIC (1978) is a 17-minute short horror film made in Britain. All but forgotten these days - until some kind soul uploaded it to Youtube in the form of a fuzzy, taken-from-VHS transfer - this turns out to be a chilling and highly effective piece of scaremongering.The short-short running time excludes the necessity for boring set-up and characterisation, and instead we're thrown straight into one of those predictable but effective 'dark and stormy night' type narratives. This is in essence a phantom hitchhiker story, with the female lead driving down a lonely country road at night in a downpour and coming across an old lady who may be more than she seems.PANIC boasts some excellent, subdued lighting and a neat twist ending which is guaranteed to provoke plenty of summers. The acting is understated and the cast includes later EASTENDERS star Leonard Fenton (who played Dr Legg) as a policeman. Julie Neesam is fine as the woman-in-peril and James Dearden proves adept as both writer and director. This is fine stuff indeed that has much in common with the classic BBC Ghost Stories for Christmas series of the 1970s.

jfgibson73 An atmospheric short told with economy and style, Panic follows a young couple who have an argument over the course of one evening. The young woman is upset by some irrational comments her boyfriend makes; the man, for his part, is instantly unlikeable. He seems jealous and controlling and makes silly demands, and does it in a reserved tone that characterizes him as being that much more effete. So right away, we don't really care what happens to him. The young girl, who is starting away--I think she is traveling to a photo shoot--happens to pick up a hitchhiker on this dark, rainy night. Except the old woman she picks up creeps her out by not saying much and having a menacing way about her. So the girl tricks her into getting out of the car. The woman's purse is still in the car, so she takes it to the police. While there, she calls her boyfriend and makes up with him. He agrees to come pick her up. Then, the police open the purse to see if there is any i.d. to help return the bag to its owner. It has a large knife inside. At the same moment, we see the boyfriend picking up the hither. Except that he doesn't get her out of the car in time...The movie was remade as "Left Turn," which was almost identical, but while Panic was all atmosphere, Left Turn makes the horror explicit. I liked them both.
