This Time Away (2019)
Sometimes even robots have feelings
Full review:
There are a great many works about robots and androids. Some talk about those who rebelled against people, others about those who dream of becoming a real person. But there are also works where robots help people in everyday activities. This short film is one of them.
The graphics, as always, are excellent, the robot is an interesting character, whose feelings are felt even if he has no emotions or speech. The ending is very unexpected. At the end there is a good message that you should respect your relatives, regardless of their character or lifestyle. Unlike "Disguise", this short film can be watched more than once.
Briefly:
Good points:
- Great graphics
- Robot in general
- Great ending
- Good message
- Rewatchability
There are no bad points.
Strange Beasts (2017)
Virtual miracles
Full review:
Nowadays, technology plays a huge role in our lives. With their help, many things are done faster and life becomes easier. Sometimes this is purely for entertainment purposes, which is what this short film is all about.
The main advantage of this short film is the very high-quality graphics, thanks to which the movements of the virtual pets are smooth. There is also catchy music, plus the actors play just perfectly. At the end of the short, there is a good message that one should not spend too much time on technology, no matter how advanced it is. It's better to go outside and talk with real friends, because we humans are social creatures and we simply need communication.
Briefly:
Good points:
- Fantastic graphics
- Catchy music
- Excellent acting
- Good message
There are no bad points.
Box Fort (2020)
Based on creepypasta
Full review:
The first directorial work of Tyler Czajkowski is under review. This short horror film is based on the creepypasta of the same name by Mallory Eddy. The story itself was very popular with many readers and it became the inspiration for an entire short film.
What is immediately noticeable is the camera work. It was done very well, I especially liked the beginning, which was filmed on a phone, as if it were a real recording. The acting is much better than "Disguise" throughout the short, which is a big plus for me personally. There is a good ending, which is also good.
The entire short film is very good, the only bad point for me personally is that the atmosphere is not the best, which reminds me more of a drama than a horror film.
Briefly:
Good points:
- Camera work
- Good acting
- Good ending
Bad point:
- The atmosphere at times feels more like drama than horror.
Disguise (2023)
Beware of the doppelganger!
Full review:
The theme of doubles replacing the main characters has been known for a long time and has often been used in literature, cinema, video games and even music. But what if the doppelganger can not only have your appearance, but also turn into other things? This is shown in the short horror film "Disguise" from the creator of the less popular horror film "Box Fort".
The main advantage of the film is the intense atmosphere. It is also supported by creepy music that is quite well composed. The plot twist on first viewing is good, there is one good jumpscare.
The acting of the girl playing the main character is a little bland at the beginning, but gets better towards the end. The short film will do for one viewing, despite the good plot twist.
Briefly:
Good points:
- Intense atmosphere
- Creepy music
- Good plot twist
- Good jumpscare
Bad points:
- Actress' acting at the beginning
- Good for one viewing only.
