Bonza (1989)
Awful
This is honestly one of the worst short films I've ever seen. The acting is horrible, the production values are mediocre, and the story is really stupid. It's crowned by an appropriately stupid ending. I would not recommend this film. The father in the story is excessively violent, unrealistically so. I know that there are many violent families, but the acting just doesn't make his actions seem believable. His son, who is supposed to be a student, looks like he's 35 years old. He cowers before his father and acts like a 5-year old. Then he has this stupid scene in which he wants to crucify the dog, but he leaves the door to his room unlocked. Of course his father comes in and sees it all. Now why would he leave the door unlocked and then do a really stupid scene like that when he is afraid of his father so much? It's just ridiculous. The remaining characters are just plain weak and unmemorable. The whole production is just ridiculous. I'll give it 1 out of 10 just because it was made in the 80s when productions like this were acceptable or at least tolerated.
