Featured review
It's amazing how much film you can shove into less than 15 minutes!
"The Voice of Conscience" is a very strange film. It has some neat story elements and some that didn't quite work for me. But, regardless, it IS a pretty amazing movie and it's shocking so much plot was somehow shoved into such a short film.
The film begins with the death of a father. As he's dying, he asks his friend to be his daughter's godfather and look after her (though to me she looks to be at least 25--a bit too old for the part). The godfather takes the 'girl' to live with his mother and time passes. During this time, the girl has fallen in love with her godfather but he doesn't know this. Instead, he's fallen for some other woman.
A bit later, there is an auto accident and both these women are taken to the hospital. The godfather's girlfriend is worse off and the doctor has prescribed a strong heart stimulant. However, the other lady's jealousy is so great that she pours ALL of the bottle into the girlfriend's glass--hoping to give her an overdose! What happens next is really weird and the end a bit on the preachy side. But, it's also very memorable!! Worth seeing.
