Don't look away is a short horror film about a two family members seeing a man looking creepy standing in the garden. This 'scary' film has clearly taken inspiration from the creepypasta genre looking at creatures like Slenderman that have taken the internet by storm in 2014.
There's not much to talk about in this film, it uses standard shots and never really puts the audience on edge like it tries to. The acting isn't very good and is very corny feeling like a youtube video made by children back in 2009.
The one thing that the film achieved kinda well was when the monster was in the room and the monster tracked the girl as she moved around the room. This is because the monster never really moves just turns with the camera and it gets a distorted effect giving the feeling that the monster is keeping the character out as it slowly blurs the lens. Only problem is that it's quite anti climatic with the tension ending after she puts tape over her eyes never really building up after that.
To improve they needed to have a a scarier way to show the monster with a different way for it to creep up on them by adding a unique trait that no other monster has.
