In the tradition of classic revenge-horror flicks like I Spit on Your Grave and The Last House on the Left, Subway is a suspenseful short film that originally played as part of the 2002 NYC Horror Film Festival. It features effective use of location shooting, an attractive lead and an almost unbearable climactic shot of pure horror.

An artistic-looking girl in a tight red T-shirt (Heather Soto) misses her ride to Brooklyn and ends up stuck in the most secluded subway station in New York City. (It must be really late.) She ends up having to fend off an attacker and would-be rapist (Gideon Horowitz). This scene is heightened by suspenseful subjective shots and some very despicable, male-entitlement dialogue Horowitz delivers.

But the shot that everyone will be talking about after they watch this movie comes later, when the predator is alone on the train. The lights go off and on, the sound dials down to zero, and then... well, I won't spoil it. Suffice to say that it's a masterful shot, and an excellent capper to this spooky and grim horror film.
