Plot
A young girl's brother returns from war with a most disturbing souvenir.
Cast
Directed and written by a erm....electrician?
Verdict
That was almost 20 minutes? How? It felt like 5, 10 at most. It starts with a quick awkward dinner scene and then descends into generic bland horror and felt like it was over considerably faster than that.
You see the sad thing is the beginning is tense, it's well constructed and I was excited to see where it was going to go. Alas when it reaches its destination it falls on tired generic tropes and has the intelligence of an episode of the Kardashians. It's like they had an idea, but no idea how to deliver it so instead of using any tact they just threw everything at you in a desperate attempt at being entertaining.
Shorts need approaching very differently than feature films, the creator here should have taken this into consideration and took better care.
Rants
What could I possibly rant about? The film has no substance, no discussable topics, no depth, no hooks, nada, zip, nothing.
The Good
The first half is at least well made
The Bad
Bland
Forgettable
Weak second half
Relies too much on generic tired horror tropes and cliches.
