Robert J Permenter and Jason Raw Clark have created a gripping short that relies solely on viewer preconceptions. Narratively, the film is well constructed with robust characterisation and structure. Kirsten Lindemulder’s blazing performance as Kate deserves high acclaim, as does Michael Laughton’s wicked portrayal as Ethan. Interior lighting is deserving of a nod – particularly during the closing scenes. The craftsmanship of the cinematography is equally commendable. The music, although sparse, captures the tone perfectly. A terrific genre-bender that shouldn’t be overlooked. Highly recommended.
