"The weirdest Steam Next Fest horror demo is only 5 minutes long, but I've been thinking about its freaky Severance vibes for days"

"This free game turns the Turing test on its head with a scary AI quiz... It’s a really nice, understated piece of analog horror."

A First-Time Indie Dev Chat With Sydney and Qualia

AI, Robotics, and Existential Dread: Qualia Dev Interview

GAME OVER.

“This super short film is short and sweet with a good payoff that comes quick... The short is fun and easy to watch, it’s a quick one with the right amount of nostalgia”

“Turns out one minute really is all you need. Wow… Sydney makes it an indelible runtime. No dialogue, but a rocking 8-bit score by composer, Neil Sveri.”

“I've stuck to digital download games ever since... ”

“A little tiny masterpiece, Original and just what Indie horror needs.”

“Perfecto, decapitato!”

”CAN'T FIND THIS ... CAN SOMEONE LINK ME PLEASE??!”

“PURE CINEMA”

“Maybe all those parental warnings about playing video games were true?” 

"Quick and effective. It's funny, well done and made me wince!" 

RANCH DIPPED CHICKEN FINGERS.

“It’s an INCREDIBLE movie! Sydney makes incredible, hilarious, and fucked up shorts.”

“A minute long, thrash metal guitar solo of a movie. It’s an assault on the senses with greasy wings, wet, squelching sound design, and a script that takes no prisoners.

…there’s another layer of flavor with notes of mischief and a proudly feministic middle finger to what society expects of women. …there’s always an inherent danger when a woman goes on a date with a man. Horror fans see a guy and a girl getting along and immediately start writing the woman’s obituary. Sydney seems to take that expectation and beat it to death with a film camera, reversing the audience’s perception of who’s truly in danger, right from the beginning.

There’s also a perpetually wagging finger when it comes to women and food. Women, society tells us, are supposed to eat like birds, if they eat at all. Sydney centers her short around a woman’s hunger and refusal to stop, making for a badass, hilarious, and vindicating ride. Even the title slaps the patriarchy’s expectations for women in the face.

When a sexist asshole tells you to put him above all else, you can respond with Sydney’s battle cry: “The Only Thing I Love More Than You Is Ranch Dressing!”"

“Puts a new twist on the term “maneater”…it’s a sexy, metal-fueled, darkly comedic bit of bite-sized horror.”

“Sometimes it’s enough just to provide a fun bit of horror that packs a bite, and in that this short very much delivers.”

“This 60-second horror short cannibalized the festival circuit, screening at over 30 film festivals across 7 countries, including Fantasia Film Festival, and even winning the award for Best Editing at Cinepocalypse. Behind the dried stage blood and bodega cats, Sydney is truly a force to be reckoned with… Sydney and her rowdy bunch of collaborators created a horror film that lasts the blink of an eye yet resonates with our undeniable love for ranch dressing, blood, and gore.”

“I’ve seen sketches about ranch dressing. And I’ve seen sketches about cannibalism. But I’ve never seen those two ideas combined in quite such a way.”

“Another short and sweet horror film that leaves you kind of hungry. I’m not even saying this as a pun. I was really hungry after watching this.”

“This is one of those hidden gems you find and as soon as you have watched it, you have to share it to all your friends so they can watch it, then spend the rest of the day going “Mate, WTF did i just watch!”

“The Only Thing I Love More Than You is the Kino The Only Thing I Love More Than You Is Ranch Dressing (2018). As both a French New Wave and Ranch Dressing Motion Picture this is the first Franch New Wave Dressing Motion Picture, and it shows.”

“The short is a tossed salad of Grindhouse style filming as it feels like it was made in the early 1980's, but has insane scream metal which brings it to the modern age… this was such a nice short that I double dipped by watching a second time. The makeup effects were even better on the second watch. I would love to see what Sydney Clara could do with a feature film as she seems to have an eye for directing.”

Gaspar Noé said, "you can make a piece of art with a cat drinking milk". So I did. Thanks Gaspar!
