The Sky (2020) User Reviews

A film through a burning lens

[patrickfilbeck · 7/10 · 29 June 2022]

This short film is a mix of drug-induced horror trip, Lovecraftian horror, mysterious apocalypse and doomsday, plus a sprinkling of family drama as a hook for the acting characters; and though so much has been crammed into this film, director Matt Sears manages to calmly craft his short story, larding it with questions and garnishing it with unsolved mysteries. A work with solid acting, acceptable effects and enjoyable camerawork carries a small idea here, picking up a small smorgasbord of so some cornerstones of cinematic storytelling and managing not to seem overstuffed or overambitious. Not a masterpiece, but definitely more than a nice little treat. These 11 minutes are worth investing in.

Many motives to see it. From the amazing special effects to the plot and the inspired, terrified end. A wise crafted film about the end of world, friendship and the most profound love. So, just impressive.
