Thrills Sans Gore

[timothygartin · 7/10 · 20 November 2019]

I liked this horror short film. It is not scary or gory. It is not even that thrilling. What makes this film is the character arc of the lead. Even though this is a really short film, the lead goes through a great arc that many feature length movies don't allow.

I loved the decisions that the lead makes as she slides into her new role.

The direction and settings are beautiful, although I don't exactly understand the choice to have the mansion so bare.

The acting from the lead actress is much better than the rest of the actors.

near reality

The temptation to define it as parable is completed by the traces of Agatha Christie novels atmosphere. Not only tension but the clues arranged in provocative manner. A weekend, a hunting, few observation of a mate, a gesture and a dinner. Well storytelling and lovely performance for the lead character.
