Meridian

I see the other reviews on here and I laugh because this short is not meant to be good or bad! Its sole purpose is to test Picture Quality for streaming platforms. It was developed for Netflix.

It is shot in 4K at 60 frames per second and uses HDR10/ Dolby Vision and was mastered at a peak brightness of 4000 nits or Candela per square metre.

There are reasons the story makes no sense. Just a showcase of demo reference material.

Basically it's not intended for a normal audience.

But if you have a really good tv or reference monitor you can appreciate it for what it is.

I was waiting a coherent scenario but couldnt find it . I dont wanna say waste of time but really mediocre

Really interesting short film that harks back to a time when they really new how to build tension through subtlety rather than jump scares.

Very much in the vein of the excellent mystery shows of the 50s/60s, with the obvious influence being The Twilight Zone.

Leaves you wanting more.

Only eleven minutes long, the movie reminds me of a film students Twilight Zone theme movie short.

Style over substance. Great period setting, the guy playing the police captain was perfect for the part... and the setup was intriguing. But once he goes into the cave... meh! Like they didn't have a real idea, just the setup (see Yellowbrickroad). Also, the 'girl' was just mundane pretty... nothing weird or unearthly about how she looked... needed someone 'scary pretty'... Tilda Swinton or Amanda Plummer-ish.
