For a University project, '9 (2005)' is incredibly impressive. It's an atmospheric silent film with an ominous feel and an enigmatic story. It's simple but effective, a stripped-back version of the feature film it would later become. There's a nice mix of action and mystery, which keeps the piece compelling throughout. Its design is effective, its set-pieces are exciting and its narrative is satisfying. It's a good effort, even if it is a little rough around the edges. 7/10
