Short Film: In Extremis (2014) Review

(2014, Short Film)

Directed by: Gregory Crosbie

Produced by: Rick Molland

Written by: Gregory Crosbie

Main Cast: Sean Biggerstaff, Struan Rodger

Sometime in the early 1960s, the mysterious Curator hires a new watchman for the lower level. He’s shown in and told to sit at his desk and ring the alarm if anyone comes around. He’s also told to not snoop around down there. It doesn’t take long before he starts hearing things…

This one is a bit long for a short, at around 14 minutes. The cast is small, with only three real characters, but they’re all appropriately cast and good at what they do. Also, it looks great, and more importantly, it has a real plot and characters, which is never a guarantee with shorts. To top all that off, it’s got a completely satisfying, albeit a little predictable, ending.

Check it out, it’s definitely a worthwhile 14 minutes!
