Zero
Prismark104 August 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Zero looks like a calling card by the Brothers Lynch for a feature length movie. It showcases their skills as filmmakers.

This short has a lot of atmosphere and does get creepy as it goes on.

A girl is preparing for an apocalypse with her father. The father dies, the girl is alone and follow the instructions her dad left behind.

We know she has enough food for five years. However one day someone knocks on the door begging to be let in.

There is a lot here that has been seen before in other similar movies. Can the girl follow the warnings left by here dad to ensure her safety? Will she let the stranger in?

The ending is reminiscent to the original Planet of the Apes.

Leaves you hanging

Filmmakers sometimes make shorts as pitches for a longer film, and maybe that's what this is. But standing by itself, this little film doesn't know what it wants to be. Is it about loneliness? A meditation on the presumed hardships of survival on the remnants of modern technology? Is it about human self-destructiveness? Is it about the aftermath of a war between humans and aliens, or between humans armed with gigantic fighting machines? Unfortunately, the whole is less than the sum of its parts.

Loved every second of this short film such a scary concept being left alone and great acting from Bella Ramsey. I highly recommend you watch this short emotional film if you have a spare 15 Minutes as it is full of loneliness as it really does leave you on the edge of your seat.

Well executed...

...and yet left me wondering what the point was. Another doomsday, apocalypse, end of the world drama only this time without a conclusion? "...leave the house". Maybe I just will...

Bella Ramsey
Kirpianuscus12 July 2019
For a part of public of this short drama, the start point of interest can be Lyanna Mormont from "GoT". It is a good start point. Because Bella Ramsey is ...great. Real great, just great, supporting the entire film with precise force. Giving the exact expected story about daughterhood and about survive. Cold and inspired and precise acting , served by beautiful cinematography, creating a lovely parable about indertictions, relations with the past, rules and fundamental decision. The last scene reminds "The Planet of Apes". Or "2001. A <Space Oddisey". It is not exactly a coincidence. Only what you deserves . So, Bella Ramsey. And her great, great, admirable at whale, work.
