So far there is only one other review for this French short film on IMDb. It is rather scathing in its opinion of STRICTETERNUM though I am not going to be that hard on the film--it isn't as bad as all that in my opinion. However, the people who posted it on the Hulu site (I assume this was the film makers themselves) made a big mistake. As the film is about to pay, the is a tiny summary of the film and it includes the phrase "The twist ending will blow your mind". Well, with such an absurdly optimistic pronouncement, I was really ready...ready to be bowled over by the wonderfulness and perfection of the surprise ending. However, it really didn't come as that big a surprise and I think that is exactly why the other reviewer felt so angry about the film. I can definitely see their point, though the film isn't at fault--it's the stupid summary! There were some good things about the film. While the story was only okay and seemed very inspired by some "Twilight Zone" type story (it is derivative), the set designs are really cool and work very well with the story. It worked well in that sense and had I not had such high expectations, I might have given it a 6 or better.
