Clearwater

A pretty young woman is sunbathing in a gorgeous secluded spot. As she dozes, she is bitten by a mosquito. He blood is transported to a really ugly entity and eventually transforms. It's interesting to see the special effects dealing with the transformation.

'Clearwater (2020)' is a short film in which a young woman unknowingly becomes a blood donor for an otherworldly creature. Most of the piece is dedicated to a surreal sequence that's created entirely using CGI. The special effects are relatively convincing and the visuals are fairly arresting. The aesthetic is fairly disturbing, too. However, the central set-piece is arguably a little too long. It also doesn't feel strong enough to carry the weight of the overall film. Still, the short has a definite structure to it and it's well-achieved overall. It's very simple, but mostly effective.

The CGI is superb for a short story. I think it would put some full feature film animators to shame. My one question is with the story. Shouldn't the clone have been an infant girl instead of a full adult? I'm assuming the clone was made from DNA in the bloodmeal inside the mosquito. Nevertheless, job well done. I'd love to see these animators tackle full feature films.

Like many others have mentioned, the visuals in this short film are exceptionally high quality. They're probably among the best I've seen in short films. I was mesmerized by the special effects, and the scenery was absolutely stunning. The cinematography is excellent and gives off the vibe of a full-feature film with a decent budget, rather than just a random short.

One thing that came as a surprise was the film's horror genre. I didn't expect it, but it was a pleasant surprise. The origin of the strange, otherworldly creature remains undisclosed-is it an alien from another planet or something native to Earth? We'll probably never know. Still, the quality and detail of the creature were just amazing.

To be honest, I would definitely watch it if this were ever expanded into a full-length movie.

Beautiful location, beautiful girl and EVIL little disease bugger joins in : Mosquito.

Then it gets really weird and creepy. Really Good FX's for a short film less than 6 mins long. Made my skin crawl, especially since I'm basically Mosquito CRACK, they Love Me! I hate them! Ick :o I was hoping for a slightly different ending. Felt a bit flat, but Worth a Watch if your a fan of disturbing type horror. ;D.
