Movie Review
By Fabricio Estevam Mira
Making a good horror film, contrary to what the majority of today's filmmakers think, is not easy and not for everyone. The photography, music, script, and pace must be blended together to transport us into the reality that the director wants to present to us and make us forget that it is all an illusion. As a rule, this can be achieved in an hour or more. However, Axel Zeltser accomplished it in less than three minutes, and he did it very well. The lighting is beautiful, engaging, and creates an air of mystery, preparing the viewer from the very first second for an experience very different from the mediocrity that characterizes modern horror. The lead actress, Natte You, fills the screen with a commanding presence, and the rest of the cast does a serious and entirely convincing job. The direction is sharp, and the script is incredibly thought-provoking for such a short film.
