Disco Inferno

What absolute twaddle. I am so frustrated right now, and yes, bitter! I have came up with ideas, I have written short stories, and nothing has ever been picked up by anyone. I then turn on Netflix and watch this rubbish! How in the actual flubber does stuff like this even get produced? Complete and utter waste of time! I think they are trying to be clever and artsy, but is just comes across as an absolute dog's dinner of a production. Hell even the actors don't seem to know what their motivation is supposed to be. I am absolutely still shaking my head in disbelief that this is a thing that was written, produced, cast, filmed and distributed!

I can only speculate that this was meant to be a kind of demo reel for the people involved in the production to burnish their resumes and show they have the necessary technical skills to work on some future costumed period drama or PG-13 horror movie. In that case good for them, it certainly looks more polished than the average student film. But the story and writing are inane and they were (apparently) surplus to the demo reel objective of showing the production team's directorial, cinematographic, acting, set design, et cetera competence. This certainly wasn't made for public consumption or to entertain an audience. So why release it?

Here is probably the biggest budget and least memorable short film ever. It has an unoriginal story and a terrible ending. The CGI candle was pointless. It has very long credits for such a short film about nothing. The acting and dancing was fine though. Disco Inferno has absolutely no impact whatsoever, don't bother.

Since IMDb requires 600 character even for short films I'm going to copy and paste my review.

This movie is completely pointless. Rehearsing the short dance scene must have taken longer than writing the script. I know it's a short movie. I've seen many good short movies. This is not one of them. Writing this review and trying to bring it up to the required sixhundred characters probably takes longer than writing the script. If you read the blurb of the movie, you already know everything that happens. Do yourself a favor and skip this one. The production staff really tried hard to make this look good and the actors do their best, but there is simply no substance to the story at all. 321.

This could be a longer film, to be honest. The plot is okay, it could be something bigger, however, when trying to recreate events in a period of time that was not even that long ago, one should research a bit more about the subject they want to portray to avoid flagrant anachronism.

There was no "disco fever" as early as 1973! Disco music was in its infancy that year. Disco was still a underground phenomenon with mostly funk and soul music, and there were no clubs like Studio 54 (the obvious inspiration for the one where the story is set in), with people making huge lines, and there was no "dance competitions" and "three-piece suits" that were clearly inspired by Saturday Night Fever, a movie that would only see its release in December 1977. The hairstyles, fashion and music don't match 1973 either.

If the story took place in 1978, in the actual height of the disco crazy, it would be spot on!
