Once a Snapchat message is over, that’s it. You can’t look at it anymore (without technical kn0w-how, anyway). And that’s exactly what makes Snapchat the perfect vehicle for some messed up messages in this short film by James Corbett.
Things aren’t always what they seem, though — but you’ll have to watch until the end to see the twist here. What I can say is this: I really love the sorts of short films that have been popping up in the last few years that use social media to tell a story. Much of our lives are mitigated through services like Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat, after all.

Wow, that was cool, that dude was a real bastard. That knife she used won’t be stabbing anyone though, it had a rounded tip.
Hey you are wrecking the ending!
I think knowing there was a twist ending made it pretty easy to predict what was going to happen.
Yup. Glad I barely use snapchat. One way to avoid all that…hassle.
Reminds me a bit of Inside No. 9, really good British dark comedy show by the guys who made League of Gentlemen. They always had some nice twist at the end, some where better then others.
