Directed by Danish filmmaker Kasper Møller Jensen, Sekunder (Danish for "Seconds") is a 15-minute psychological thriller/horror short released in 2009. Unlike the jump-scare laden horror of the late 2000s, Sekunder relies on what we do not see.

Reactions from viewers are strong and varied. One Letterboxd user calls it " a harsh short film to watch " while also labeling it " a gripping one for what it is ". An Amazon review, translated from German, is less impressed, criticizing it as a " cheap production " with " bad main actors " and a " bad plot ". This mix of reactions, from profoundly moved to unimpressed, suggests that Sekunder is a film that demands to be seen and leaves a strong impression. One reviewer on Filmtipset.se (Swedish) noted it as a " small creepy film with slightly scary monsters, but in the end nothing special ". sekunder+2009+short+film

Sekunder invites multiple readings. It can be read as a meditation on mortality, a critique of modern inattention, or a portrait of trauma where small sensory cues trigger a flood of recollection. Its brevity is a strength: the concentrated form leaves a strong, lingering impression, prompting viewers to replay the seconds in their minds—mirroring the film’s own focus on time.
