Plot
Devi is an addict attending the latest rehabilitation meeting. Desperate she's trying to hide this from her boyfriend but unexpected events make that difficult.
Cast
Rakefet Abergel and Josh Kelly do a passable enough job in this minimalistic piece, the former leading directing and writing!
Verdict
I wasn't sure quite where Boo was going at first, in fact until the end you don't really have any idea why this would even be labelled a horror short. It's a slow burner yet doesn't bore, when things kick in it's intriguing but doesn't give too much away. Then when the twist sets in it's pretty darn impressive, simple yet impressive.
I really enjoyed it and would love to see the creators do something more substantial. It's not big and glossy, it's simple and well handled.
Rants
Everyone glamorizes or even sexualizes vampires but can we get real for a second? Vampires or rather the act of drinking blood from a persons neck wouldn't be sexual, it wouldn't be sensuous, it would be Dusk Til Dawn-esque. Namely blood sprays everywhere and you'd die painfully! Get over that fantasy ladies, it'd not feel good and the dying thing is less than sexy as well.
The Good
- Masterfully constructed
- Solid finale
- Great lead
The Bad
- Slow burn may not appeal to all.
