Death Key: Origins (2016)
Such a Teaser
The problems with shorts is, well they are short. This one is very well made and has you wanting for more. I like that this doesn't look fake. The scenes out in space are very well done and don't look at all put together. I personally was wondering what the story of this short is. You see different things, which don't tell you what it is. You figure they all fit in a puzzle, but what is it? I do love that approach. Leaving you wanting more is a good thing. It gets your imagination going and I am sure that is what a filmmaker wants. Now if we only could get the whole thing in a movie so we can have all our questions answered. Over all this is a very well put together short.
Crawl or Die (2014)
Need to get my breath back!
I am not much of a Horror movie person, but I have to say this one I REALLY like! I have seen some Independent movies before which weren't something to write home about, but this one has been very well thought out. I love how the Director shoots to build up the Anxiety! It may start slow, but the build up is perfect. So much so that you can't help but feel claustrophobic. Even after watching it for a second time I felt this heaviness come over my chest. Tank and the Package have a hard time breathing and so did I. Isn't that what a Director wants? For it's audience to be so sucked into their movie, that you feel their Angst and Anxiety? This movie may not have much of a dialogue, but I think it's just perfect the way it is. You don't need much words, because you can feel what goes on. Also I believe that with less dialogue the actors have to show so much more how good they are in putting the words on their faces, in their expressions and so forth. And an excellent job the actors did. I specially love the expressions of the Package(Torey Byrne) when Tank (Nicole Alonso) talks to her and gives her a choice. I think this movie speaks for itself and I highly recommend it. It sure made me claustrophobic, hopefully only for the duration of this movie. During the whole movie you start coming up with all these questions and you wanted to get to the answer, well that proofs how captivating this movie is. You just can't take your eyes off of it, because you are afraid you may miss something. You may miss the answer to some of your questions. But don't take my word for it. I recommend you just go and see for yourself. Enjoy!
