While the idea behind Don’t Move is nothing special, it is interesting and makes the viewer think a little bit. You can just imagine how difficult it would be to stand perfectly still as if your life depended on it; it’s relateable and I feel like that’s what makes it feel so unnerving. The fact that you could watch your friend die before your eyes and wouldn’t be able to flinch a muscle lest you meet the same fate is terrifying and exactly why I found Don’t Move to be such a well-executed short.

The acting is decent and the special effects are flawless; albeit the gore is overdone as is the case with most horror shorts (gotta pack a lot into such a brief run-time I suppose). Because of the overdone gore and the fact that the idea is very unoriginal in most aspects, I’m being slightly generous with my mark of 8/10. With camera work, special effects and acting like this, Don’t Move could even be considered better than most modern full-length horror flicks.
