I hope I don't get in trouble here, for posting
a review of a short film, thats on www.studentfilms.com
If it is wrong, then I apologize.


Here's a synopsis.

Two men struggle to escape from an oppressive
and faceless war machine as they attempt to
deliver their precious cargo to a secret rendezvous point.

Don't let the synopsis fool you into thinking, this is
just a silent war film, with no suspence. It's in
there. The reason I call it a silent war film,
is because there is no speaking, it's all in the ambiant
sounds, that convey the mood.
The guys in the masks, (3 of them) are pretty freaky looking,
something I would say goes along the lines of Michael Myers
mask, as seen in the picture above.
The cinematogrophy is nothing short of astounding,
giving off the creepy vibe. The so called "war machines"
are cold hearted, as you will see in the ending, that sent
a shiver up my spine. One must wonder why they would do
such a thing. I'm not giving it away, It's just something you have to see.
The short film clocks in at 9 minutes, and is so
professionally done, you have to ask yourself, well I did
any way, why the people associated with the film,
aren't cranking out a full length feature film?

10 out of 10.

If I find out that this is not wrong, I will put up more
reviews of films I have seen online, whether from
Studentfilms, or otherwise. Being that this is in fact
a horror review section, I thought this might be an appropiate
place to put the review.

The only other ones that I know of, would
be Atomfilms.com, and Ifilm.com

I'd be interested in knowing if there
are any more sites like these out there.
