Sleep in Heavenly Peace

How can anyone in their right mind say this was a good film??? Unless that person is a relative or a good friend of the director. It was utter garbage. I've seen better films from 8th grade class projects. I can't blame the actors because you can't make gold from dust but come on. I've seen more believable acting at the local Starbucks. Again, it's not their fault when they are obviously not being directed by anyone with their salt. It doesn't take much to get a performance from even a non actor but this director doesn't know what to do with anything he has in front of him. I laugh at anyone who says this short film is anything other than pure D level trash.

Saw this as part of the True West Cinema Festival. Amateurish even for a student film. Someone has apparently knelt down and worshiped at the movie Hostel and Eli Roth because it is a rip off of that torture porn film. Violence for the sake of violence. It isn't a enjoyable to see on screen minute by minute of gore and blood. The director and writers should watch some Hitchcock and some old school horror directors before they waste their time again with this genre. The acting may have been the saving grace of the film if the director would have let the actors go. Instead it focuses on gore and blood and everything else that is included in the now boring torture porn genre. Bowd Beal does commendable work as the lead but is almost ruined by his co stars work. Anastasia Zavaro may be one of the worst actresses to grace a screen this year. All in all a terrible film. Not worth anyones trouble.

This is a remarkable short film and rewards multiple viewings - the director is obviously working on a level beyond the average film student. Or maybe I shouldn't say 'obviously' because the film works on a very subtle, dry, understated level that many might miss on first glance. On one level it's a gory comedy, but there are other levels of deep emotion and questioning, thanks in large part to the dedicated performance from the lead actor. True, some of the other performances are uneven and there are some redundant scenes, but on the whole this is a clever, sharply written and directed movie. Great cinematography and music too. You'll enjoy this if you like the films of the Coen Brothers, Polanski, or Hitchcock's darker movies.

The death of family dog before Christmas can be, for a woman, good example of responsability and respect for pet for education of her son.

So, her husband must digg a grave for poor animal. But the ground is frozen, the machine works not so well and when it works the man lost his arms.

It is beginning of a series of events . And for a compensation - his pray is accepted, his faith becomes strong, like the dependence by his wife.

A bitter - sweet comedy, with touch of horror - the last miniminalized by unrealism of situation , seductive for religious message for me. And , sure, for nice performance of Bowd Beal.

The last reviewer is an idiot who clearly knows jack-all about film.

This short is an incredibly fun and intelligent take on the horror genre. It's been a few months since I've seen it, but I remember really enjoying it, mostly due to the way in which it balances the carnage of an incredibly bizarre accident with the fact that all movies in this genre are, to some extent, a spoof of themselves. It purposefully does not hit you over the head with the fact that it is a spoof, and in that way, maintains a subtlety of which few movies in this genre are capable.

There are also several very interesting references to religious imagery, clearly lost on the last reviewer. Too bad, so sad.
