Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Peekers" is an American English-language short film from 2008, so this one will have its 10th anniversary next year. The writer and director is Mark Steensland and this is one of his most known works and also same applies to the two writers and the cast, even if for the latter it doesn't mean much because the actors are hardly professional actors looking at their bodies of work. The two who play the old couple could even be husband and wife in real life looking at their names. The story here is fairly effective for an 8-minute movie. A man just wants to eat breakfast, but is called by a neighbor to his house where strange happenings occur apparently. The wife stands upstairs and talks weird stuff while she should be somewhere entirely else. Creeped out by the same thing happening to the old man too, our hero leaves for his own house again, but he took something with him. So yeah, this honestly looked like a pretty low budget production and I am not sure if I see any talent in here in terms of acting or directing, but the story makes it worth watching and lets me ignore (at least to some extent) the fact that the production values and overall outcome look pretty cheap and amateurish. I still give it a thumbs-up, Worth seeing for spooky film lovers.

Timm Pierson Wow. I clicked on a banner that sent me to the official website of Peekers. With all of those fancy looking awards on the side of the page, I thought it might be interesting, or at the very least a fun diversion for a few moments. But no. The "Peekers" are some sort of ghoul (what it is is never explained) that possesses and/or assumes the shape of people and makes them hide behind corners "peeking" at you. You end the short as clueless as you were from the beginning. Sadly there is nothing going on in Peekers that would make me able to recommend it to anyone. It's only a couple of minutes long...I guess that's a good thing.

wirrrn Just saw this excellent short horror film PEEKERS as part of the NIGHT OF HORROR at the 2008 Revelation film festival in Perth, West Australia.Of the eight film shown, this one was one of the three ( along with others KIRKSDALE and THE ANCIENT RITE OF COREY MCGILLIS) that managed to terrify me- and I see a *lot* of Horror films. Bonus points to Mr. Steensland was for making PEEKERS such an awesome, unsettling, truly creepy film a] in such a short running time and b] without shedding one drop of blood! I found myself genuinely frightened by the concept, especially by the line "She wasn't threatening, but I felt threatened" and the shot of the newsreader 'peeking', suggesting it's happening everywhere.give it a peek!

emobadger I saw this short at Dead by Dawn 2008 Edinburgh's horror film fest, I'm surprised by the votes it currently has here on IMDb. There was an audience vote at DBD to choose the best short horror of the festival, this came third. Personally I voted it to win. It's very low budget yes, but it affected my psyche a lot more than many of the ridiculously high budgeted shorts on display which I'll never think about again. This short really freaked me out! The idea is really simple but effective. Reminded me of some nightmares i've had. The actors involved did a good job too in realising this story, especially that guys wife at the top of the stairs!! eek! Very Twilight Zoneseque which can only be a good thing.I'd like to say bravo!
