Shortcut starts off simple enough: five teenage friends on a bus ride that takes an unexpected detour down a desolate road. But when a mysterious creature emerges from the darkness, what follows is a tense fight for survival that blends atmospheric horror with genuine character moments.
This one is a slow burn at the start, but it’s absolutely worth the wait. The film takes just enough time to establish its characters, giving you a chance to really connect with them before the chaos begins. That extra care makes their fear and desperation hit harder once the creature makes its presence known.
The monster itself is handled well, lurking in shadows and building dread before unleashing full terror. Paired with the eerie setting of the stranded bus and isolated road, the atmosphere is thick with unease.
Overall, Shortcut was a brilliant watch. It delivers suspense, strong performances, and a creature feature that doesn’t feel recycled. A definite recommend for horror fans looking for a tense, character-driven ride.
