    Between The Bugs

    Solid little ditty about more than just dead enders. Really enjoyed the watch (read) between the scenes (lines) scattered throughout this short.

    Decent creature effects. Mix of sci-fi and old style horror creature feature bugs.

    Character development and acting was spot on. Didn't feel rushed or prompted.

    Story line was well written and didn't leave you guessing or scratching your head.

    Without giving spoilers - pay attention - believe in yourself - move forward - and we are never guaranteed our place on the food chain!

    Don't miss out on this short. You might regret it and not see that Dead End(ers) coming!

    Pleasantly Surprised - Fun watch!

    This short work, while seemingly a simple creature feature, offers a rich experience. The narrative delves into more than just surface-level horror, exploring deeper themes about individuals facing dead ends and the importance of self-belief. The creature effects are well-executed, blending classic horror with sci-fi elements. The character development is particularly strong, with authentic acting that avoids feeling rushed or forced. The storyline is intelligently written, maintaining clarity without resorting to simplistic explanations. Ultimately, the work delivers a powerful message about trusting oneself, moving forward, and acknowledging the unpredictable nature of life.

    Short Entertainment

    This was a cool short for entertainment. It was witty, entertaining, and quickly captured my attention start to finish. Could possibly be an interesting concept for a full length movie. Explaining the origin of the creatures and the reason they were attacking and how they were defeated. I would suggest this short and would definitely watch it if ever it became a full length movie. It has alot of potential to big great as well as sequels. Im not usually a fan of creature features too much but this is one I could be. I'll be watching for the full length version to be produced and I'll buy my tickets in advance if it does.

    Creature Feature!

    I actually really enjoyed the color pallet of this film! I'm big on color, lol.

    It reminded me of the movie Clerks but the horror/comedy version, lol.

    Maya is definitely relatable. Not sure if that's a good thing.

    The acting was just okay. I didn't expect top tier acting though and can get past that.

    It felt king of like it had some 80s vives which I enjoyed.

    I also really enjoy a campy creature feature! This for sure check off the box for that.

    It had some great humor and was short and sweet. Best short film I have seen so far this year.

    I don't know why, but this film also gave me nostalgia.

    Maya

    Good remind of B horrors of 1950 , fair parable about humans and parasites , honest end.

    Few virtues of a short film about a small fist of cliches and their smart use , in ironic manner, about deep exploitation of gas , a gas clerk wasting her future , her boss and two cops , easy life when a dangeor changes, in radical manner, the perspectives.

    Not great but useful, especially for the nice performance of Skarlett Redd , offering realistic portrait of a young woman , prisoner, in out going way, of comfortable routine.

    Nothing great or original. But nice and inspiring some nostalgia. And, maybe, it is just enough.
