More About "Dead Mall":
After a night of partying, The Girl finds herself on an empty street in Downtown Miami with a strange man who offers to walk her home. He tells her he knows a short cut through the old mall. He coaxes The Girl inside, and then locks her in. Sorry, he says, it has to eat. Inside, she is hunted - maybe herded - by a horned creature through an increasingly confusing and irrational space. While hiding from the beast, she encounters a sinister ball of yarn, a sentient escalator, a half-eaten woman, and a very beautiful cow. When the horned creature abruptly disappears, The Girl is welcomed by a group of women who claim to have slain the best. But her relief is short-lived, and she realizes too late what (or who) these women eat to survive.

A statement from the writer and director Olivia West Lloyd: Dead Mall is a reimagining of the Minotaur myth from Greek mythology, undone and unraveled and placed in a desolate downtown Miami mall. I love the way that Greek mythology takes the baser human emotions - lust, greed, vanity, spite, envy, fear - and gives them to the Gods, who play them out in exuberant and operatic ways. It not only humanizes the Gods, but it makes divine those pesky feelings that rule human existence. I am drawn horror for many of the same reasons. Here is a genre that centers emotion - especially female emotion - and allows it to be big, messy, and unrepressed. As a woman, I spend so much energy trying to keep my emotions from leaking into my daily life for fear of making others uncomfortable. But emotions rule us all, and in horror, they are allowed to rule without restraint. My interest in horror often boils down to an interest in fear - how it motivates us, reshapes our identities, and rewires our brain chemistry. Fear is endlessly manipulative, and it has the capacity to turn us into the very thing we fear in others. As fear is passed from person to person, generation to generation, the line between victim and perpetrator becomes unbearably thin. Dead Mall is a story about that slippage, and the cyclicality of horror in our world.

Interesting re-imagening of Ariadne's Thread. It makes think back on the classic myth and what ifs. Also odd choice to stay in the mall and choosing cannibalism instead of jumping the guy and getting out there when he came around with fresh meat. Guess they're playing out on the fact that sometimes survivors' minds end up so broken that they become the monster themselves as coping mechanism maybe. Also I like how it works as cautionary tale showing that beyond looks, gender, age, etc...you never know who is hiding behind the mask and how risky it can be to lower your guard making yourself vulnerable just because that stranger seems harmless or trustworthy.

If someone is forcing you to the thing you don't want to do in order to get the thing you want....mmhhhmmm...that is ...well I don't need to say more...though I could but it's dark.

This begins as a stranger danger horror film. It then gets into a cat and mouse horror story with some really scary rooms with reveals that are twisted and horrifying. The end was twisted too. This is a story that you could see on a deserted island. So putting it in an abandoned mall was interesting. Lessons: 1) Follow your gut. She knew not to go in the empty building. 2) Remember a high heel can be used as a weapon. 3) Many monsters are of the human kind. 4) Mall Muzak is the real horror. It is also interesting to ponder that the group at the end doesn't want to leave which gives another angle of horror. The farm break was interesting and maybe there is a message of the dead mall being like how a farm appears to a Vegan. I enjoyed the film and thanks to Olivia West Lloyd, the cast, and crew. Maya Martinez the lead actress also portrayed being terrified exceptionally. Peace.

The shoes that were piled to the side (and for the life of me I couldn't figure out her adding her shoes...usually I get mad when bimbos in horrors keep their high heels on but here it felt like she was already giving up by adding her pair) and the escalator suddenly moving. I have always been wary of elevators and when my son was little his shoe sole was coming apart from rest of shoe and the escalotar at the top starting eating it. Luckily Brute force of me got him pulled out of there...but I was wary and that was scary!

Well done! I wish that I hadn’t read the description first; it’s full of spoilers. IMDb needs more data.

Also, he's horrible. He locked that poor monster in a cage and didn't let it pick it's own meals. That's monster abuse!

If there was one very thing that could have saved her, that was to keep close to the entrance. Especially after your jailor says: it has to eat.

I thought it was very well acted, shot, and edited. It felt like an a24 movie. I understand the re-imagining of the Minotaur mythology and the theme that you all were going for, but I really wanted a final showdown and for the girl to make it out. Maybe that’s the traditional moviegoer in me, but that’s just me. It went in a very different direction. I do respect the vision though. Keep doing excellent work. Make the films you want to make. I’m just a viewer.

Because they get to the action very quickly, rather than having a slow buildup. That’s why short horror films are so good. It’s hard to have an hour and a half of nonstop entertainment compared to making a 15 minute movie.

3:29 teleporting all her string to the escalator is a terrifying subversion on the normal minotaur story

This might just be my projection because it's happened to me, but it seemed the guy who acted as a conduit to lure vulnerable girls away from bars at night, spiked her drink to make her even more susceptible to abuse. The predatory themes in this and the portrayal of violence against women struck a painful nerve with me, and that's how i know it's good art. It could be debatable, if in fact she was spiked, how much of her experience was a concoction of being terrifyingly vulnerable as a woman on her own, and hallucinations. Nevertheless, the ending for me was the most terrifying part. Us girls have to stick together.
