Review by jromanbaker

I like short films. Some like Astruc's ' Le Rideau Cramoisi ' and the animated film of ' Tell-Tale Heart ' are classics, are macabre in content and leave the viewer satisfied at the end. This one for me did not. Maybe it is aimed at the age group it represents and unlike the films I have mentioned it suffers from the lack of a mature vision. In this film there is a lot of ( for me ) easy to watch ' horror ' and the blood spattered face is one example. The young woman in the film is given a thankless role and her makeup looks in itself often ' demonic '. The Freud quote at the beginning about the Id seemed pretentious and homosexuality was used yet again in thriller/horror fashion. To me the whole concept was not given time to develop and that is a pity because the director shows promise.
