Konterr Brilliant and touching
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Horst in Translation ([email protected]) Rodney Ascher's "The S from Hell" refers to the first letter from "Screen Gems". So were they evil or what is this about? Apparently yes to the people interviewed in this 8-minute short film. However, to me it felt as if substance was missing here really. It felt like a collection of scenes that were never really scary or scared me even if there was some gore and violence. Also the aspect of the unknown danger and presence of the letter S did not really work. I guess most people will see this fake documentary as a comedy, but sadly it was never really funny. 4 out of 10 is even generous as this one is really not worth a watch. Not even for fans of the horror genre.
