Stand is such an exciting film because it is very much a psychological horror. If you have ever suffered from sleep paralysis or parasomnia, I think it will be easier to relate to the main character’s struggle.

The comparison to sleep paralysis may not be what the director was going for, but that is how I interpreted it (the overall action of losing control of your facilities and the belief that some demonic entity is to blame).

You can watch Stand on Short Film Wednesdays or check out other films by Alter on their YouTube channel.
