A developer connected to the shooter art project led by Maxim Verekhin has released another short horror film titled Lure, also known as Ace.
The story centers on a teenage boy who sits by a window and notices a terrifying creature outside. The fearsome entity cannot enter the home without permission, so it offers the boy a deal called Dandy. If the boy agrees, the monster sheds the formal prefix and launches a brutal attack on the child.
Judging by the reactions in the YouTube comments, the film left a strong impression on viewers.
One viewer observed in a private comment that watching it with headphones at work made them nearly scream, praising Maxim for the film’s impact. Another noted that the work feels deeply unsettling and intense. A third called it eerie and atmospheric. A fourth pointed out a fear many parents recognize when kids are drawn to loud sounds late at night, imagining a neighbor figure coming after a quiet moment of fear.
Readers and fans have also weighed in with reflections about mood, pacing, and the chilling premise, highlighting how the short builds dread through suggestive visuals and sound design.
There is a reference to a previous short film from the same creator for audiences who want more in this vein.
