Foxes

'Foxes (2011)' is most successful when it comes to its atmosphere. The short drama-horror focuses on a woman who seems to be drawn to the foxes that hunt through her bins at night, to the increasing detriment of her already unsatisfying home life. It's a well-shot and well-edited affair with a professional aesthetic and, as I mentioned, a strong sense of atmosphere. Its narrative is a bit basic, though, and its payoff isn't as strong as it perhaps needed to be. Plus, its ambiguity feels less like a purposeful decision and more like the result of an uninspired scripting session. Nevertheless, this is a solidly entertaining short film. It's good, just not great. 6/10.
