Get Off My Land is a short film by Douglas Ray the genre of the short film is a dark comedy as it contains a serious advent of death of “trespassers” ,however towards the end there is a comedic sense to it , for example the actor who plays the land owner says “got a feeling that is a public footpath actually, even though the tragic event had already occured”.

This was done by the camera constantly following the characters in danger as well as never showing where the sinister creature was coming from. Personally I thought this was a good thing as it made us as the audience want to know what happened next and left us on the edge of our seats. Furthermore the sound effect...
