Review may contain spoilers. Toyland is about a young boy who wants to join his best friend on his journey to Toyland. Unbeknownst to the boy, Toyland is not the magical place he thinks it is, but is in fact a concentration camp. The boy soon disappears and his mother goes searching for him, hoping to find him before he takes an unfortunate journey. This short film builds a lot of tension into the idea that the woman may be too late to save her son. There is a nice twist at the end of the panic that makes this short film a worthwhile watch. Overall, Toyland does something in its small runtime that very few feature length films can and that is get you invested in what is going to happen. I would definitely recommend watching Toyland. You can easily find it on YouTube and it runs for about 15 minutes.
