    Cute.

    Cute short, that I only saw because I didn't notice it was a short.

    It felt like a real movie, not happening fast or rushed, that just ended. So if you don't know this is a short, I don't think you'll be able to tell either, it just quickly ends and it just leaves you there hanging.

    Anyway for short movies IMDB should really change their 600 characters policy, because there isn't too much to cover.

    It is a 15 minutes production, with good actors, nice location and an interesting plot to be honest.

    It tries some character development, very little tension, it just fails with the ending. It simply happened too fast and it had nothing to do with the characters, they were just in the back seat, leaving the villain to be cut short by the movie's runtime and not a proper development.

    Thus being said, sure I can recommend it, but more importantly those involved in the movie should prepare to make the bigger step. So far so good.

    Cheers!

    What is that?

    Omg. What did I watch? First of all I have to say please do not produce short horror movie. Because till now every short horror movie is so boring, so annoying, so meaningless. No horror elements in here. By the way I like the idea, maybe someone can make a long version of that but with this version it is really absurd. I like disco atmosphere. Dresses and looks was good. I can say I loved only this part of the movie. What happened actually I don't know. It is so open ending story. Why happened this exorcism things to main character no Idea. That was stupid part. This black eyes situation was really unnecessary. Anyway I think it is kind of experimental movie and cinematography was good but no story, no acting skills in it for me..

    Fun, but the anachronism almost ruins everything

    This could be a longer film, to be honest. The plot is okay, it could be something bigger, however, when trying to recreate events in a period of time that was not even that long ago, one should research a bit more about the subject they want to portray to avoid flagrant anachronism.

    There was no "disco fever" as early as 1973! Disco music was in its infancy that year. Disco was still a underground phenomenon with mostly funk and soul music, and there were no clubs like Studio 54 (the obvious inspiration for the one where the story is set in), with people making huge lines, and there was no "dance competitions" and "three-piece suits" that were clearly inspired by Saturday Night Fever, a movie that would only see its release in December 1977. The hairstyles, fashion and music don't match 1973 either.

    If the story took place in 1978, in the actual height of the disco crazy, it would be spot on!

    Pointless

    This movie is completely pointless. Rehearsing the short dance scene must have taken longer than writing the script. I know it's a short movie. I've seen many good short movies. This is not one of them. Writing this review and trying to bring it up to the required sixhundred characters probably takes longer than writing the script. If you read the blurb of the movie, you already know everything that happens. Do yourself a favor and skip this one. The production staff really tried hard to make this look good and the actors do their best, but there is simply no substance to the story at all. 321.

    What? Wait, WHAT?

    What absolute twaddle. I am so frustrated right now, and yes, bitter! I have came up with ideas, I have written short stories, and nothing has ever been picked up by anyone. I then turn on Netflix and watch this rubbish! How in the actual flubber does stuff like this even get produced? Complete and utter waste of time! I think they are trying to be clever and artsy, but is just comes across as an absolute dog's dinner of a production. Hell even the actors don't seem to know what their motivation is supposed to be. I am absolutely still shaking my head in disbelief that this is a thing that was written, produced, cast, filmed and distributed!
