Helen Tzoutis plays Jess, a housewife who appears to be living a almost perfect life. A loving Husband Matt played by (Sean Finnan) a nice apartment, but a nagging feeling that Matt's ex wife Susie played by (Irena Huljak) is out to kill her. Matt assures her she is wrong about her feelings. When Matt has an emergency to attend to, Jess gets a visitor from Edwin played by (Greg Russell Tiderington) who is Susie's brother. He seems to lend a sympathetic ear and calm Jess' nerves a bit. Is Edwin there to help or does he have a hidden agenda? Watch Streaks to see the final act unfold.

 

Nicely shot, but the sound was far from perfect and took away from the overall experience as the sound drops in and out.
There is some cool surprises here and definetly worth a watch. Streaks in the Mirror is a nice effort for a short. Much better than most shorts ive seen as the direction, acting pull it above the others.

The acting was a high point as all the actors did a great job making this viewer believe them. I could see actors Helen Tzoutis & Greg Tiderington going on to bigger and better things in the future.

There is some bloody good stuff here and the F/x makeups are not overdone. I do not want to give away the ending here.

The direction was tight and shot from some nice angles. The editing was a little spaced in a few spots, But the pace of the film never drags.
