An AI system alerts a homeowner who’s all set to hand out Halloween candy. But when the treats run out, an invisible intruder arrives, violently knocking at her door…
Written and directed by Jacob Ewing, the short horror film There’s Someone At Your Door stars Elicia Devorah as Sarah, a young woman living alone who becomes the target of a malevolent entity. Devorah delivers a solid performance, capturing Sarah’s growing unease and fear as the night spirals out of control.
At just around ten minutes long, the film begins with an ominous tone as Sarah opens the door only to find no one there. What follows is a bizarrely awkward encounter with a neighbor—someone as unsettling as any ghostly figure. While this initial exchange borders on cringe-worthy and briefly disrupts the tension, the film quickly shifts gears. The Halloween-themed setup transitions into an unexpected finale, delivering a surprising surge of intensity, suspense, and blood-soaked terror.
The cinematography is largely warm & spooky in tone, effectively juxtaposing Sarah’s seemingly ordinary, modern home against the creeping supernatural threat. The atmospheric visuals and sound design work together to evoke an unsettling mood, making the climactic twists land a punch.
Although the first half may feel uneven, There’s Someone At Your Door redeems itself with its gripping finale. Jacob Ewing crafts a short scare, which ends on a pretty ironic note.
