    I received the screener to a quirky short, 4U. This is a disturbing little short directed by Ehren Koepf piled amongst a pack of other shorts of the Mindbenders genre. These visual mini-tomes are designed to get under the skin and 4U succeeds. An isolated man living in a secluded mountain shack is seen crossing names off a list. One by one, he scratches out a name in concert with his holding a shovel and dragging a body. And he’s not done with the list. Darkly filmed and darkly played, 4U offers more than the suggestion of evil; it’s a skin crawler of modest note.
