A little different review this time around. I received a message from a writer/director Luther Bhogal-Jones to see if I would review his short Black Spot. I ended up watching all five shorts on his Vimeo page, though not all were horror related.
Black Spot -Shot in 3D (unfortunately I do not own 3D glasses). I had to watch the 2D version. Which probably lessened some of the impact. The film looks great and the actors play it well but in the end the story just didn't grab me.
Creak - I really enjoyed this one. It packed a good amount of intensity and suspense in it's short running time. Beware. Sometimes those strange noises coming from inside the house, are not the house.
The Crunch - A stylishly shot psychological tale about a pair of isolated computer programmers. It looks fantastic which leads to a few creepy moments.
My Take:
While most of these shorts have familiarity to their story they are all very watchable and entertaining. Bhogal-Jones definitely has some talent and I would like to see what he can accomplish with expanded ideas and full length feature.
Rating: In the middle
