It's rare to find a horror film that's truly appropriate for kids and yet manages to still be truly scary. There are a few films out there we could discuss that fit the bill, but I've never seen a short film that so brilliantly ramps up tension and suspense and then delivers the final scare in such a creepy way. Alma is a Spanish short film produced by ex-Pixar animator Rodrigo Blaas. The film gets its name from the main character, Alma, which is the Spanish word for "soul." Keep this in mind while viewing the film.
There is no violence or gore in Alma, and it's silent except for music and sound effects. It is nonetheless effectively chilling and might be too much for some kids. Be sure to watch first to decide if you want to show it to the children in your life.
