2025 TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL REVIEW! 

Terror Keeps You Slender was actually pretty dumb. 

I had some pretty high hopes for this in the first few minutes as the cinematography was good and the story seemed promising. That quickly faded, however, and this short film became predictable and even incredibly similar to other movies I’ve seen. 

Some of the transitions reminded me of the movie Trainspotting, the red sweatshirt reminded me of Schindler’s List, and the heavy breathing heard as establishing shots are viewed was very similar to 2001: A Space Odyssey. 

Terror Keeps You Slender wanted to be deep and mysterious but it just turned out flat and boring. 

Directed by Daniel Sauli. 

Written by Morris Karloff. 

Starring Genevieve Hudson-Price, Luke Kirby, Ajay Naidu, Jamie Neumann, Richard Price, etc. 

4/10 = WORTH WATCHING, BUT YOU’VE BEEN WARNED
