The Russian Sleep Experiment

I really liked this short, also because I was thrilled for this for over 7 months. Today I finally saw it, and to be honest, I was surprised in many ways. The acting, the atmosphere, the music, the special-effects and the make-up where almost complain-less. The only thing that really bothered me, were the audio-levels. Sometimes you can barely hear the context of the conversations, and yeah, you can turn the audio more loud, but the thing is, some dialogue, and mainly sound-effects (like gun-shots) are then on the point of peaking. It would be better to bring the barrier between the softest spoken dialogue and the sound-effects a bit closer together, and as a citizen from the Netherlands it really could help to add some subtitles, at least English, so we still can understand what they are whispering to each other(mainly the ending dialogue). But the visual part of it was almost top-notch, some minor complaints, but it is a short with potential for sure. It surely ranks in my top 10 shorts! Great work, I'm looking forward to the feature length flick.

Any person who wants to see thriller, this is for him. it does includes some scenes which horror me at nights and is really nice. The facts that doesn't includes true facts is a draw backs but the film's director must be a true genius to manage the truths and and make these types of films with great editing in low budget. Even small things like Back ground music and emotions and every act has been taken care of. Most even seem genuine.Nice movie. the only major drawback was it was short

An experiment, like many others. Noble purpose, tragical result. Three men as subjects of a way to be out of sleep. The effect is far to be unpredictable. But the lead virtue remains the minimalism and its great effect and the terrible atmosphere. A film seductive for the precision of details and for the science to use a story in the most inspired way, against the low budget. That defines it as one of the real good thriller short films about a period who, in this case, has an inspired illustration.

I quite enjoyed this short film for what it was. The acting was fairly good, the camera shots were decent. Overall a pretty solid short film. I recommend it if you are a fan of the original story
