Tingle Monsters
TINGLE MONSTERS is one of the first ASMR horror short films. Dee is a YouTube vlogger whose live stream quickly spins out of control when online threats meet her in real life. Director Alexandra Serio wanted to show how online harassment is disproportionately directed at women and how verbal harassment is often a precursor to physical harm. Serio’s handle on the ASRM medium is effective and immersive for the audience, but doesn’t detract from her message. The verdict: chilling.
