    Mosquitos are the worst

    Here is a 6-minute horror short that left me wanting more. There are some great computer generated sequences and some nice special effects. I thought it was pretty effective. I wouldn't be surprised if someone ends up talking to the director about turning it into a full length movie, because this doesn't just look good, it has something interesting going on.

    Darn, Those Skeeters!

    A pretty young woman is sunbathing in a gorgeous secluded spot. As she dozes, she is bitten by a mosquito. He blood is transported to a really ugly entity and eventually transforms. It's interesting to see the special effects dealing with the transformation.

    Creepy Little short with Great FX's! :o

    Beautiful location, beautiful girl and EVIL little disease bugger joins in : Mosquito.

    Then it gets really weird and creepy. Really Good FX's for a short film less than 6 mins long. Made my skin crawl, especially since I'm basically Mosquito CRACK, they Love Me! I hate them! Ick :o I was hoping for a slightly different ending. Felt a bit flat, but Worth a Watch if your a fan of disturbing type horror. ;D.

    Superb CGI

    The CGI is superb for a short story. I think it would put some full feature film animators to shame. My one question is with the story. Shouldn't the clone have been an infant girl instead of a full adult? I'm assuming the clone was made from DNA in the bloodmeal inside the mosquito. Nevertheless, job well done. I'd love to see these animators tackle full feature films.

    Blood is thicker than...

    'Clearwater (2020)' is a short film in which a young woman unknowingly becomes a blood donor for an otherworldly creature. Most of the piece is dedicated to a surreal sequence that's created entirely using CGI. The special effects are relatively convincing and the visuals are fairly arresting. The aesthetic is fairly disturbing, too. However, the central set-piece is arguably a little too long. It also doesn't feel strong enough to carry the weight of the overall film. Still, the short has a definite structure to it and it's well-achieved overall. It's very simple, but mostly effective.
