*review contains a couple of spoilers* Intriguing. Unsettling. Well-filmed. A patient continually sees a shadow. It always comes back. A therapist doesn't believe her delusions until coming face-to-face with the entity itself. I found the filming style to match perfectly with the steady pace of the short. Creepy, atmopheric, and tense. The acting was convincing and natural, with no melodrama or monotone voices. With a short cast of two actors, the acting had to be strong to carry the film. One element I enjoyed was that they chose to not actually show the shadow, with the exception of sketches, it was more about the fear it creates. The sounds, the reactions, the anxiousness. I would love to see this made into a feature film where we can expand upon the characters and the shadow, along with bringing in additional characters to create further dimensions to the story. For a quick but impressively made short film that will leave you questioning every noise and coincidence, I recommend a viewing: https://vimeo.com/253008679?fbclid=IwAR3mTlx6MfmRyrQQS7UmuGTumeFeWm7u_XEMiaYEhPqGkT6NLHPmlgpXGz8 |
