10/10 for One of the better short films of the last few years, original and sharp 'Thinning the herd' is a dark gem, with precise and tantalising procedure by the director and star Rie Rasmussen, the authentic environment, cinematography, mood/feeling and carefully built tension in the montage and various low camera angles intertwined with the 'thinning of the herd' make a great evened out viewing of 10 minutes with a perfect twist awaiting the viewer at the end. It is well worth a watch (or even two), it provides a small insight to what we (the spectators) can expect from the 'Angela' with her debut feature, 'Human Zoo', in the upcoming year.
