It is a well known rule of all horror films to somewhere include the dialogue 'Hello? Is anyone there?'... mostly spoken by a girl alone at home at night, who just heard some wierd noise in the big empty house. It is another great rule of any classic scary movie, that the killer always walks very slow and appears at moments no one would expect. This is exactly where ANYONE THERE? sets in and takes you to a world where the girl is 'uber sexy' and the killer is really taking his time. Not always serious but seriously scary would be the best way to describe the shortfilm ANYONE THERE?. Violet was hoping to spend a relaxing weekend at that fancy villa of one of her friends, with just some good music and a bottle of red wine. She definitely didn't expect a crazed psycho killer to be stalking her, or did she? Well, the best thing to do when you hear some strange noise in that supposedly empty mansion is, to ask out loud: Hello? Is anyone there? - And when there's no answer it is probably safe to leave the lights out and wlk back in the room in darkness, right? Who pulls the strings in this 'cat and mouse' game? Is anyone there to teach the girl the rules of surviving a horror film? You can find out in 'ANYONE THERE?' - a short film by Holger B. Frick
