      A Bitter Murmur is a sweet tasting that features a few tidbits of ghost-story horror and a drizzling of psychological thrills. The film is less than 8 minutes long -- I was hooked within the first minute, introduced to a doe-eyed but relatable lead who was dropped into a world of paranoia and paranormal [...]
