Little Devil

Solid eight out of ten almost across the board for this short film with it's heart in the right place. The only two exceptions being the performances which are a nine plus, with especially a stand out performance by Jack Brocklebank in the lead role of young Ritchie. Regrettably though, every face in the film is bright orange, the film looks like it was shot on VHS or perhaps Mini-DV as the film is soft and poorly defined, the cinematography is the only thing that lets this film down from being a lovely exceptional short, great script and direction, one and all show great promise. Reviewed as part of the Manchester Lift-Off film festival.

I saw this last year at a film festival and really enjoyed it. For a small film like this that I assume had no budget or very little, the fact that the filmmakers were able to get the shots they did at the locations is impressive. The performance of the kid was excellent and overall the supporting cast did an excellent job as well. I agree with the previous reviewer on the look of the film. This is where I think a bit of the budget should have been spent on a colorist in post production, but I'm still going to give it 10 stars as I assume the reason for this was due to a lack of budget.
