I started watching this on my nice Samsung TV that sounds great no matter what I stream on it. Unfortunately the dialogue was muffled, and if I turned up the volume enough to actually hear what they were saying, then the other sounds were way too loud. Did they have pillows over the mics??
To give this the benefit of the doubt, halfway through I switched to the Netflix app on my iPhone + my fancy earbuds. This was no better. I could seriously record better quality audio on my phone - as I assume we all could. What the heck? Ultimately not worth a watch or a listen IMO.
I already see that some other reviewers did not have the same experience, so YMMV. I hope you have better luck than I did!

... drum? Is that an actual saying or am I making this up? I kind of feel I have heard this before. But that is a thing with memories - if it's sayings or people we miss(ed). And that is the segway to this short movie - no pun intended as always of course.
Losing a loved one is never easy. I think I saw a teaser for this at a horror film festival last year. It could have been a different one that has a similar tone - grief but also trying to figure out a way to close a chapter of ones life ... to move forward! Which is only possible if you can say goodbye ... or find something out about yourself or a relative ... it is the latter in this one - drum(roll) please! No pun intended once again to close things off.

With a runtime of just 16 minutes, this short horror film does a good job. In fact, it could easily be turned into a full-length scary movie, or you could see these 16 minutes as a clip from a pretty decent horror film. Short films, even in the horror genre, aren't usually this scary because building suspense takes time. However, this one manages to create that feeling.
The story follows a young woman who has recently lost her father. She is mourning and feels a deep sense of loss. At her beloved father's funeral, not all the relatives are kind or speak highly of him. Our main character loved her father deeply because he raised her alone. It's revealed that her mother left when she was just a small child, so she never got to know her.
Soon, strange noises start catching the young woman's attention. While trying to find where the noises are coming from, she discovers a stash of hidden family items. This discovery, along with the increasingly louder noises, leads her to uncover something even bigger-something no one would have expected. This is the part where I wished the film had explored more of the backstory and the consequences of her discovery.
All in all, there are many worse and more meaningless ways to spend 16 minutes. For that reason, I consider The Blue Drum an excellent short film in its category.

Can't hear anything, have to turn the sound WAY up, and when you do, everything sounds muffled. Sounds like they used a potato for a microphone. Couldn't get through more than 5 minutes of this 11 minute short because I was annoyed that I couldn't hear/understand most of what was being said... Also, I am not elderly, so personal hearing is not the issue here.
The acting seemed decent in the first few minutes I saw, but the sound effects would sound far away for something that happened supposedly near where people were interacting/talking, resulting in mis-matched sound-levels in the film as well.

A young woman , front to the expressions of not exactly simpathy of her aunt for the late brother and the desire of her boyfrient to help her, discovers, after the funeral of her father, a terible secret about family past.
A photo album, a sound under floor, a door and the message from her mother are basic pieces of a night not exactly comfortable but, in tradition of Spanish horror, offering the naked truth in clear - precise manner.
More than a simple good short horror, it is a profound inspired game of director with memories, imagination and emotions of viewer. And it works very well, easy feeling the states of Leticia.
