Dead Enders

I actually really enjoyed the color pallet of this film! I'm big on color, lol.

It reminded me of the movie Clerks but the horror/comedy version, lol.

Maya is definitely relatable. Not sure if that's a good thing.

The acting was just okay. I didn't expect top tier acting though and can get past that.

It felt king of like it had some 80s vives which I enjoyed.

I also really enjoy a campy creature feature! This for sure check off the box for that.

It had some great humor and was short and sweet. Best short film I have seen so far this year.

I don't know why, but this film also gave me nostalgia.

This film had me laughing out loud one moment, and gasping the next. The pacing was perfect from beginning to end, and the lines are some of the funniest I've ever heard. This film does, in a little over 12 minutes, what a lot of modern horror/comedy movies fail to do in 120, which is give the audience exactly what they came for. They deliver backstory, build-up, and climax with precision, and you can really feel the heart of this film with every scene. Overall, it's a fun film with fun characters and fun scares. I absolutely loved it, and I can't wait to tell everyone I know to watch it immediately!

Solid little ditty about more than just dead enders. Really enjoyed the watch (read) between the scenes (lines) scattered throughout this short.

Decent creature effects. Mix of sci-fi and old style horror creature feature bugs.

Character development and acting was spot on. Didn't feel rushed or prompted.

Story line was well written and didn't leave you guessing or scratching your head.

Without giving spoilers - pay attention - believe in yourself - move forward - and we are never guaranteed our place on the food chain!

Don't miss out on this short. You might regret it and not see that Dead End(ers) coming!

This short work, while seemingly a simple creature feature, offers a rich experience. The narrative delves into more than just surface-level horror, exploring deeper themes about individuals facing dead ends and the importance of self-belief. The creature effects are well-executed, blending classic horror with sci-fi elements. The character development is particularly strong, with authentic acting that avoids feeling rushed or forced. The storyline is intelligently written, maintaining clarity without resorting to simplistic explanations. Ultimately, the work delivers a powerful message about trusting oneself, moving forward, and acknowledging the unpredictable nature of life.

Some scenes were a little too dark to see exactly what was going on and the acting could have used a little bit of help. But the overall movie was good. The plot was great and easy to follow along with. Had the perfect amount of comedy, creepy crawlers and I didn't see the twists and turns coming. Like mentioned in the review title the movie was corny at time but was still entertaining and worth watching. Short, quick and to the point entertainment for when wasting time to leave the house but you don't have enough time to watch a full movie or episode. Definitely recommend giving it a try. You won't be disappointed.
