    the story of Eric

    I loved the performance of Pete Nokes . And the beginning of story. In rest, a pretty confuse story about death, evil influence, an ordinary man with obscure past and a strange duty, an old manual and a noble mission.

    The story of Eric is only reasonable work .

    In essence, another film about afterlife, mixing some humor and bizarre improvisation and offering a not bad eulogy of friendship.

    Without be an eccentric project, it reminds old cliches about death and the basic sin is the unrealism , too dusty , too easy , too childish , in some measure.

    But , I repeat, the story of poor Eric is the OK ingredient of this short film . And, for this The Guardian can be defined as decent. The story of Eric.
