Short Film: Spider

Watch this film until the end. Nash Edgerton fills multiple shoes by acting, directing, and writing, editing, and stunting this 2007 short. Perhaps you recognized him as Security Guard #5 from the third Matrix installment.


I think this is an easy to watch and certainly well made short film. However, the ending, although delightfully shocking and perhaps deserved, is distracting to what the rest of the six or so minutes are about. The last image we are left with becomes the focul point of the film as a whole.

As MrClownHater aptly assesses, “epic boyfriend fail.”

  1. I agree with your assessment about the ending. My roommate's boyfriend was in the room while I was watching it and the ending happened to make me exclaim "Oh my word!" which then made him jump up and say "go back I need to see this" and he had the same reaction which then prompted my roommate to come and watch just that portion and it felt like a neverending cycle with every person in the apartment needing to see what made us all exclaim "oh my word". However, it was indeed a nice short. Thanks for sharing.
