An ambitious student film
Qman-482992 April 2019
This film has the markings of an interesting thriller, for a student film. The film manages to hit on the concept of the "school shooter" generation, a place for learning and growth put at risk by the mentally unstable. It earns points for making a painting seem scary but is too incomplete for a feature film.

The definition of mediocrity
r-5883319 October 2017
This film made me want to stop watching movies. During the opening sequence I thought; "alright, this could be cool" I was immediately proved wrong the instant any actual footage was shown as the title sequence was a series of paintings done by actual artists. Also the actors actually age backwards. As the lead somehow magically grew green hair and reversed an obvious haircut. Essentially if this film was pitched to any production studio, the meeting would essentially go like this; "I shot a ten minute short that was decent, but I wanted to make it 56 minutes so I recorded myself shitting into a bucket and pouring it on my head." I don't know what is more horrifying, the film itself, or the fact that this is what film school produces nowadays.
