"[Jake Kennedy] represents
the new future of fear".

The Chicago Horror Film Festival:
"We All Fall Down is one of
the scariest, most horrifying short films we have yet to
come upon and I strongly look forward to seeing more work
from Mr. Kennedy".
Jason R Davis - Director, The
Chicago Horror Film Festival
Sedona
International Film Festival:
"We
All Fall Down" is one of those film shorts every
festival wants ... a short
so good that it leaves you wanting more! It is an
edge-of-your-seat ride into some serious psychological
mind-games. "We All Fall Down" is so much more
than your typical horror-genre short film: It re-defines
the term psychological thriller. This film will send
chills down your spine with some never-before-seen special
effects. It is superbly acted with a tight script and more
suspense than most feature-length horror films possess.
Jake
Kennedy has a bright and brilliant future ahead of him if
this dark and haunting project is any indication. "We
All Fall Down" is a must-see (even if you may not
sleep for a few nights afterwards). This is the kind of
film that will keep audience members talking for days
after the screening.
Haunting.
Chilling. Brilliant.

Sedona International Film Festival & Workshop
Ain't
It Cool News:
WE
ALL FALL DOWN, by Jake Kennedy, is also very promising...Kennedy has a nice sense of how to build a scare,
and he packs a lot of punch into a relatively short
running time...when the scares happen, they’re
effective. A strong sound mix and a crisp, clean look
really sell the piece.

Threat:
"We
All Fall Down is a subtly violent and tense little short
with better acting skills and camera work than most
Hollywood features...the rest comes from a brilliant sound
mix that will no doubt cause you to clench your mouth shut
every time the sledge hammer smacks down on teeth or a saw
ravages a forearm."

Cinema:
To say this movie was brilliant
would be an understatement. I could sit here and roll off
a full of of adjectives telling you what an incredible
experience this was, but the best word for it would
probably just be "awesome". Everything about
this film was perfect. The acting, the cinematography, the
editing, the writing, the visual effects, the sound...all
just perfect.
I can't think of a single thing wrong with
this film. That's something you almost never hear from me,
because usually I have some minor complaints about pacing
or story or whatever, but not in this case.
Director Jake
Kennedy has an undeniable sense of what true horror is and
how to send chills up the spine of the viewer. There were
scenes in this film that actually scared me and some that
gave me a nice case of the boo boo jeebies.
It's so rare
to find a film that can actually do that, but this one
did.

Pit
Of Horror:
"The
short really works. I was amazed at how much meat Kennedy
put into such a short time frame. The production values
are also amazing. It looks like the filmmakers spent a
good amount of time and money to make sure this film was
the best. I see a bright future for Mr. Kennedy."

Dam
Short Film
"Using the unseen
masterfully, writer-director Jake Kennedy keeps the
gruesome acts of the four mostly out of view, using sound
and reaction shots to powerful effect. Even without
copious blood and guts, the most dark and disturbing
scenes are beautifully executed and will surely cause
audience members squirm and cover their eyes.
Suspense is built and heightened
by out of sequence storytelling and flashbacks, drawing
the audience in further as we slowly piece together the
magnitude of evil the four committed on their victim, and
what horrors await them in return. With its irresistible
storytelling, exceptionally high production quality and
top-notch cast, "We All Fall Down" is a film
that leaves viewers wanting more."
