Terror on the Thirteenth: Jamie

Writer/Director Dylan Clark was one of our featured creators during 2020's 31 Nights of Halloween celebration here at Terror Titans. We couldn't fit this little masterpiece in, but that's why we have the bi-monthly Terror on the Thirteenth posts! (We started these earlier this year, and we're going to continue them into 2021!)

Jamie (2018)
Starring: Ramzi McFarland
Director: Dylan Clark
Rating: Eight of Ten Stars

A teenager (McFarland) performs an occult ritual to contact a spirit from Beyond.


"Jamie" is one of those short films that relies almost entirely on the plot-twist to work. That's pretty common. What isn't common is that the twist is perfectly executed, as is everything leading up to it... and that comes after. The only reason this film isn't getting a Nine or perhaps even a Ten rating is because the creature in it is a bit underwhelming in its appearance--Clark and his ensemble of actors and technical crew have some along way in the two years since this film was made. (Although I loved the way the creature communicated.)

Watch "Jamie'" for yourself and let me know what you think!
