Was honored to have this film come across my desk today. What a wonderful 11 minutes and some change. It is a simple story that follows events of an Alien presence. Many films are out today that spend so much time with back story that the main story is lost. This is not the case with The Within. It has just the right amount of info fed to the viewers to compel and grab their attention.
The camera work is interesting as is the editing. I did find some very odd shots that I certainly would have avoided setting up as they did. One such example is that of a mans head in front of a bright window with white slat blinds. The blinds caused distortion of his facial lines and made the scene harder to watch with that distraction. Other than that I was impressed with the motion and editing of the piece.
The acting is typical and what you would expect and they all do a stellar job.
I enjoyed this and think you will too. Give it a look.
