I actually really enjoyed the color pallet of this film! I'm big on color, lol.

It reminded me of the movie Clerks but the horror/comedy version, lol.

Maya is definitely relatable. Not sure if that's a good thing.

The acting was just okay. I didn't expect top tier acting though and can get past that.

It felt king of like it had some 80s vives which I enjoyed.

I also really enjoy a campy creature feature! This for sure check off the box for that.

It had some great humor and was short and sweet. Best short film I have seen so far this year.

I don't know why, but this film also gave me nostalgia.

This film had me laughing out loud one moment, and gasping the next. The pacing was perfect from beginning to end, and the lines are some of the funniest I've ever heard. This film does, in a little over 12 minutes, what a lot of modern horror/comedy movies fail to do in 120, which is give the audience exactly what they came for. They deliver backstory, build-up, and climax with precision, and you can really feel the heart of this film with every scene. Overall, it's a fun film with fun characters and fun scares. I absolutely loved it, and I can't wait to tell everyone I know to watch it immediately!

This was tuff to watch because it was dark as it was hard to see some scenes. All and it had a great story line. The acting was fine and I definitely didn't see what wss coming next. The movie was definitely fun to watch as a short film. I did like it and to me it was kind of corny in a good way. The movie did leave me scratching my head as to what's going to happen next. There could have been a lesson there, but I could have kissed it. Even a horror comedy can have a lesson or two. I would recommend it to watch. I will make you scratch your head. I could watch it again just because it was corny.

Some scenes were a little too dark to see exactly what was going on and the acting could have used a little bit of help. But the overall movie was good. The plot was great and easy to follow along with. Had the perfect amount of comedy, creepy crawlers and I didn't see the twists and turns coming. Like mentioned in the review title the movie was corny at time but was still entertaining and worth watching. Short, quick and to the point entertainment for when wasting time to leave the house but you don't have enough time to watch a full movie or episode. Definitely recommend giving it a try. You won't be disappointed.

Solid little ditty about more than just dead enders. Really enjoyed the watch (read) between the scenes (lines) scattered throughout this short.

Decent creature effects. Mix of sci-fi and old style horror creature feature bugs.

Character development and acting was spot on. Didn't feel rushed or prompted.

Story line was well written and didn't leave you guessing or scratching your head.

Without giving spoilers - pay attention - believe in yourself - move forward - and we are never guaranteed our place on the food chain!

Don't miss out on this short. You might regret it and not see that Dead End(ers) coming!

This was a cool short for entertainment. It was witty, entertaining, and quickly captured my attention start to finish. Could possibly be an interesting concept for a full length movie. Explaining the origin of the creatures and the reason they were attacking and how they were defeated. I would suggest this short and would definitely watch it if ever it became a full length movie. It has alot of potential to big great as well as sequels. Im not usually a fan of creature features too much but this is one I could be. I'll be watching for the full length version to be produced and I'll buy my tickets in advance if it does.

It is a combination of Horror and Comedy but for being a short film I really enjoyed it. Great concept and storyline which is nice to see something different, out of the box then the same film or basically same storyline over and over. This film is very refreshing and if you are bored and have 13 mins free I recommend giving this Film a watch. I don't like to spoil films for anyone so I will not do it here either, so Watch The Film you will not regret it. I am glad I took a chance on watching it because we all know we have watched something we were unsure about and ended up enjoying it and that was me with this film.

This short film is a perfect blend of horror and campy comedy. The deeper message and symbolism is also very interesting. I appreciated the fast pace and felt like they packed a lot of story into a very short run time. There were moments and lines that made me laugh out line and then seconds later I'd be holding my breath in anticipation. The cast was stellar and everyone embodied their roles so perfectly! I also appreciate the color grading and overall vibe and aesthetic of the film, it really added a lot of visual impact and appeal. I wouldn't mind if this film was optioned to be a full length movie or even a short run tv series!!

This short work, while seemingly a simple creature feature, offers a rich experience. The narrative delves into more than just surface-level horror, exploring deeper themes about individuals facing dead ends and the importance of self-belief. The creature effects are well-executed, blending classic horror with sci-fi elements. The character development is particularly strong, with authentic acting that avoids feeling rushed or forced. The storyline is intelligently written, maintaining clarity without resorting to simplistic explanations. Ultimately, the work delivers a powerful message about trusting oneself, moving forward, and acknowledging the unpredictable nature of life.

Dead Enders (Short 2023) delivers a truly fun and engaging experience. The excellent cinematography immediately stands out, creating a visually rich atmosphere that's impressive for its short format. Even with its brevity, the storyline is impressively to the point and feels remarkably well-developed, leaving a lasting impact. The acting across the board was phenomenal, and Scarlett Redd particularly shines, bringing a captivating depth and nuance to her role. Despite being a short film, Dead Enders manages to pack a powerful punch, feeling like a detailed, cinematic big-budget production achieved in a concise timeframe.

Great start. Great finish. Fun from beginning to end. I loved the special effects and lighting. It could have been two hours of funny horror entertainment.

The acting was fast and pretty much spot on.

I would say it's funny (comedy wise)in the way of Zombie Land, the special effects of reanimator.

It's definitely a campy style horror film set in the evening which makes it better for filming with the lighting and fog.

If you saw the preview trailer you will definitely love this film.

The directors did a fantastic job putting this together.

We need more movies like this. They really took the time to cram all that into 12 minutes.

Really loved the acting, script, cinematography, and especially the fun effects. Everyone seemed like they were having a blast acting in this film.

It was amazing to see how much they could fit in this run time without things being confusing or unresolved.

Really would love to see this as a full length film or tv show!

The humor in this reminded me of ash vs. Evil dead, the parasites had almost a facehugger like quality while still being distinctly their own being.

Maya has honestly become my all time favorite final girl despite the run time.

Everyone who worked on this did a stellar job and i will be following the directors so i dont miss anything they come out with.

Good remind of B horrors of 1950 , fair parable about humans and parasites , honest end.

Few virtues of a short film about a small fist of cliches and their smart use , in ironic manner, about deep exploitation of gas , a gas clerk wasting her future , her boss and two cops , easy life when a dangeor changes, in radical manner, the perspectives.

Not great but useful, especially for the nice performance of Skarlett Redd , offering realistic portrait of a young woman , prisoner, in out going way, of comfortable routine.

Nothing great or original. But nice and inspiring some nostalgia. And, maybe, it is just enough.
