Great creepy warehouse setting. You can imagine all the things stored there that never see the light of day. Loved the old worn looking book. The use of the glasses made it seem real as someone who wears glasses their use was effective. Two issues. I think we all got it. Knock, open, read...didnt need to keep repeating. To me made it seem like you thought the audience was too dumb to put it together. And not a fan of the end. Like what's the point? Wait another 100 years for someone to do it again? I guess it might be because he didnt open the door, or read the complete passage. Really enjoyed the short. Thank you.
I really like how most of this film seems like it's one continuous, smooth shot. Very skillful on a technical level. It's good at building tension in a very short time, and just enough happens that the story makes sense, while enough is left unexplained that we're still mystified. Always a plus for cosmic horror.
When faced with a low budget, get creative. All those awards, justified. This is a hella good short, reminds me of those geniuses who were making films like Nosferatu and Metropolis back in the day. I have a feeling that we're going to see more of this sort of thing coming out of Germany in the future, and I can't wait.
lovecraft was a sick individual and he's got an award named after him... how pitiful and gross and sad, he was a really sick man and into things you kids don't understand, he is not worthy of this title
Truly beautiful... That aching sense of loss... The autumnal melancholy... That "end of all things" ( or at least YOUR time) feel so perfectly expressed by Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner back when I was young... 1982? 83? So long ago... Now I am an old man and understand it even more. All times end, all men die... As Edward James Olmos' character says about the replicant played by Sean Young: " Too bad she won't last......... But which of us does!?"
Nobody said the man who wrote the book would be nice you just hoped he would unfortunate for you he was not now you will join him locked up for eternity
The actor was very good. Speech, delivery, tone, cadence. Also has a striking, leading man look to him. Color, camera, lighting looks good too. Obviously a lot of work and care was given to this project. Must give respect to where it's due. That being said I don't see how this received several awards and I'm honestly wondering if whoever produced this simply added that particular graphic? I encourage whoever made this to keep on making features. There's potential there because it's not bad by any means at all.
Absolutely pure genious. To create so much tension with nothing but a man, a book, and a door frame. The script and the score appropriately tap into our deepest apprehensions of the unknown. Perfectly executed. Bravissimo!
