Her mother shrugs it off as Amy\u2019s imagination and the only defense little Amy has comes in the form of a flashlight. On one fateful night the batteries die and Amy is left screaming in the dark. Her mother decides to investigate and finds out Amy wasn\u2019t just scared of her imagination.<\/p>\n<p>This short film directed by Gary Mellor and Ben Wilkinson plays out in true fairytale style. By using a narrator up until the point of climax they are able to enhance character building within a very short time and they focus on a plot that is very easy to relate to. It is obvious the budget was very limited, but the finished product doesn\u2019t disappoint and the directors threw a nice little spin on an old story. In fact, they proved that horror isn\u2019t all about special effects. A good story, executed with skill, can also have great entertainment value.<\/p>\n<p>Credits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Title: <strong>Amy&#8217;s Torch<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Year: <strong>2012<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Time: <strong>2 Minutes<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Director: <strong>Gary Mellor &amp; Ben Wilkinson<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Social: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1358922\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>IMDB<\/strong><\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/15nIdF6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>YouTube Channel<\/strong><\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/finalhourfilms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>MySpace<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amy is a little girl who struggles to sleep at night, because she knows there is a monster underneath her bed.
