This is a great short, especially considering the amount of effort and time put into the production. The acting isn't bad considering the lack of professional actors. Visually, the film looks great. The use of hand-held cameras when the scene began to grow in suspense helped to sub- consciencely add to the production. I didn't expect the ending to come out the way it did, so the surprise was nice. The music was good, it didn't overwhelm the dialog and supported it well. All in all, considering the lack of budget and overall experience of the crew, this film pulled off what it set out to do: serve as a testbed for the cast and crew as they prepare to collaborate on further productions.
