THE BALLERINA-- Short Horror Film Review






 PLOT SUMMARY: A normal ballet practice takes a horrifying turn for a Ballerina.


If we paid attention and counted, how many times in a day do you suppose we see our reflection in the mirror? Our reflection is pretty much the first thing we see, don't we? While brushing our teeth, running a comb through the hair, dressing up, and one last look before leaving home. And then if you are taking the elevator, how can we resist taking that one more look?


When we look in the mirror, we never expect to see anything else but our own reflection, isn't it?


But what if, our reflection doesn't exactly behave like we want them to?


THE BALLERINA Plot


We see a Ballerina enter the room and begin practicing her steps. She looks into the mirror as she does so.


Suddenly, her reflection pauses while she is doing some other action. The Ballerina is initially taken aback. But then she sees her reflection awkwardly mimic her steps and the Ballerina takes it upon herself to teach her how to dance.


The reflection doesn't take too kindly to her gestures. She promptly twists her ankle and the true Ballerina twists her ankle too.


Frightened, the Ballerina tries to drag herself away but the reflection isn't done yet. She twists her fingers and the Ballerina too, screams in pain.


But the reflection isn't done yet and as the Ballerina manages to get on her feet, the reflection twists her neck. The Ballerina, with her head, turned around, slumps inelegantly on the floor.


The reflection Ballerina continues her graceless dance, unbothered.


The end.


The Ballerina was a figure of poise and grace and when she saw the reflection behaving incongruously, she doesn't flee. Rather, she attempts to teach it to dance properly.


In the end, the reflection doesn't learn and instead kills the Ballerina in the most gruesome way, effectively removing the gracefulness from her body.


Just goes to show, never teach a pig to sing or wrestle.

The movie is well-made with just the right kind of terror to strike your heart.
