'Invaders from Mars' goes to Australia (sorry, rural America!) via Spielberg in this deftly handled sci-fi that cleverly demonstrates that you don't always need a big budget to portray things paranormal. The stunning cinematography and performances more attuned to feature filmmaking than a short film lift this into must-watch territory. This is a great example of how short filmmaking without boundaries can go well beyond one room and one arc to be truly breathtaking.
