A short film by John Buchanan, Dinner tells the tale of a predator who has been on the lose in a recent rash of murders. This particular instance focuses around a creepy dinner invitation – plain and simple.
Meant as an homage to Alfred Hitchcock, it came across more as a quirky made-for-tv murder sitcom. Did that not do an accurate job of describing it? Well, to be honest, I am having a hard time finding the right words to articulate my thoughts on this. The soundtrack seems out of place, and the acting could use some work. Still, the quality of the film and the simplicity of the set is admirable. I would also like to keep in mind, this opinion is just that, an opinion that belongs to me. In fact Dinner has been named as an official selection for the London Film Festival taking place on October 26th.
