7 Minutes in Hell: I expected more

[Platypuschow · 3/10 · 20 February 2024]

Plot

A game of seven minutes in heaven turns deadly when two teens are attacked by a monster in the closet.

Cast

I knew nobody involved.

Verdict

I like horror shorts but they suffer notoriously with pacing issues however 7 Minutes in Hell does not it suffers from something altogether different. 7 Minutes in Hell suffers with, not being very good.

What I expected and what I got were two very different creatures, I thought it would be a quirky monster in the closet short but what I got was some messy disjointed ghost thing which really defies description.

I usually see what a creator was going for even if I don't like it, here I don't even see that.

Rants

Anyone actually done 7 minutes in heaven? I keep seeing it in American movies but have never heard of anybody doing it. Not on this side of the pond or over there. Is it a creepy urban legend? Is it a real sleepover-esque game? Is it just a thing of the past? Very odd.

Breakdown

Interesting premise Weak execution All over the place.

out of closet

[Kirpianuscus · 16 February 2024]

Teens entring in an abandoned house with dark past.

So used motif than easy to expect nothing new or impressive ofr just clever . Because all seems said.

So, the virtue of this short film remains its decent craft. And the desire to show, not to impress. A girl, a boy in closet in seven minutes in hell variant. His polite attitude, her nervousity, tempted kiss and her brutal reaction and the danger haunting, menacing, beating her in house.

The solution .

And a real inspired end, maybe the best part of short film, giving to this 7 Minutes in Hell a special touch in line of silent testimony about real terrible lived things. And about survive.
