‘The Story of Evul Ed and The Othurs’, directed by Dana Rodriguez and Ed Sammons, is a comedy-horror short film that explores the dark psychological trauma of a music producer. However, the execution falls quite short of its potential. The production quality is sorely lacking, with scruffy technicals that detract from the viewing experience.
Moreover, the few attempts of building tension feel forced and quickly dissipate without any payoff. The music overpowers the tension, which may make viewers disengage, as it feels like an inadequate crutch to support the weak script.
The film is promoted as a comedy, but unfortunately, it fails to deliver any effective or clever punchlines. Instead, the humor that’s incorporated in the film is tasteless, insensitive, and not amusing at all.
Overall, ‘The Story of Evul Ed and The Othurs’ is a subpar film that promises to offer humor and horror but falls severely short. While the concept may have potential, the execution of the idea is more of a miss than a hit, and the lack of technical quality and poor script leave much to be desired.
