Very original !

Olivia Holguin was sensational !!!!

Saw the short movie at the Fantasia Festival with the presence of Clara Aranovich. I found the script to be very interesting and the idea was very original.

Clara and the two writers/actors Will Harris and. Jeremy Radin did an excellent job.

I don't want to get into the details not to spoil anything but I just want to say that Olivia Holguin, the actress that plays Becky the camp monitor was really sensational !!!

I really want to see her in more stuff. Her acting and delivery were on the spot. She holds everything together in this short.

I recommend this movie to everyone !

Falls Short.

This film presents a promising concept, blending elements of the slasher genre with a dose of goofy comedy, a combination that holds potential appeal, especially for fans of the former. However, it struggles to fully deliver on both fronts, leaving me somewhat underwhelmed. The performances from the cast are commendable, showcasing their dedication to the project, but unfortunately, the script and cinematography fail to evoke a significant impact.

While the film doesn't fall into the category of overtly bad cinema, it leaves room for improvement, and I appreciate the effort involved in its creation. The central issue seems to be a lack of clarity in defining the film's identity and intent. Additionally, the incorporation of political commentary, while a understandable endeavor, should ideally be built upon a solid foundation of storytelling and execution. In the end, this film hints at promise but falls short of fully realizing its potential.

Rating: 4/10.

The beginning is so familiar than you hope a good change of story .

And, indeed, it works, reminding in some measure, a sort of Waiting for Godot. Nice dialogue, fair acting.

But the young woman appears and the direction seems just changed.

You accept this - it is not a so bad idea and the dark humor is the reasonable solution for what you expect.

Unfortunately, the end is just the slasher for this short film with just nice potential, not bad dark comedy. And the only remind remains the dialogue between the old friends, their curse and the too easy- supperficial end of a film looking for a different answer to a so old theme, obvious dusty one, of horror.

So, nice try.
