New Showbiz Analysis

Alexis is a supernatural horror short that upends the innocence of childhood by showing a nine-year-old boy killing his parents. This disrupts the typical image of an innocent child through a tragic event within the home. However, the film primarily adheres to well-known genre conventions. It lacks the layered exploration of diverse identities or a critical look at broader societal issues. Instead, it focuses on a single, dark event, which limits its scope to a straightforward horror experience.
