WANDERING SOUL - JOSH TANNER (2016)

Written by Josh Tanner and Jade van der Lei, and directed by Josh Tanner, who also shot The Landing and The Rizzle, the short horror film Wandering Soul was a hit on the short film festival circuit, picking up several awards. It is an effective horror film and it is impossible to fault the filmmaking - with the cinematographer picking up awards for his work on it - though there is perhaps room for more story within a 12-minute film. The trick, of course, with horror films - short or otherwise - is to provide something other than the thrills offered by the tried-and-tested tropes of the genre; and Wandering Soul certainly does that but I would love to have been given more insight into the main character. Perhaps it could be explored in greater depth in a feature version? If you like the short horrror film Wandering Soul by Josh Tanner be sure to rate it and share it.
