The short film Strangers has the feel of a dream.
It is the surreal story of two people, a man and a young girl, whose town is visited by aliens one night. The first person/hand-held camera work, the highly stylized art direction, and the B-movie-style effects all contribute to the eerie feel of the film, which was created using a budget of only$1.80.
Tension rises as the camera moves around the dark street, the distant, barely audible voices of the characters in the background. Those who have seen it remember it like a dream. They are left not with a series of clear events, but with a clear emotion. Dread.
