The Nightwalker, Short Film Review by Case Wright

Posted on by casewright

Happy Halloween! I’ve really enjoyed this horrorthon. Were some of the films terrible? Oh Yeah!

Some were terrible!

AI has improved by a quantum leap and will likely surpass all normal film in the next 3 years. If “Nightwalker” is the competition for AI films, good riddance to traditional filmmaking. Do a lot of the characters look leathery and similar in AI films? You betcha! However, they’re less pretentious and boring.

In “Nightwalker”, a boring knight wants to get immortal life and seeks out a vampire and finds one. All I kept thinking was- why didn’t they use AI? It would’ve been better and cheaper. Granted, this short film was garbage trash; so, maybe the AI substitution is a bit unfair. What do I say to this critique? Bruh, whaddya a cop?

I will do a few more reviews for Halloween, but I hope the films are better than this. Let the machines rise!!!

The Leshy, Short Film Review by Case Wright

Posted on by casewright

The Leshy is a “micro horror film”. Is it terrible? No. It’s not. Jon Kent, the creator, has some real brass. I was very skeptical that a short film could deliver a story in a minute, but it did. The characters are clear, there is a story, and a payoff. The Leshy checks all the blocks for an entertaining short and does not try to be more than it is.

A man is dragging a dead body in the woods and he gets hunted by the leshy. I don’t know the physiology of a leshy, but it seems hungry. I would highly recommend that you take a minute out of your day to watch this.

Peek a Boo, Short Film Review by Case Wright

Posted on by casewright

A woman hears a noise so she checks out her attic. Then, she finds a mysterious box with a VHS tape inside. Okay lady, that’s enough. Go away from the cursed box and cursed VHS tape. Are you literally the only person who didn’t see “The Ring”. Enough! Stop! Put those evil things away and get a normal hobby. She lacks all survival skills.

She starts watching the film and it has creepy background music. She starts playing peek-a-boo with the girl in the film who did warn her not to cheat. Did she cheat? Yes. Did the girl become an evil ghost? Yes! I have no sympathy for her- at all.

Don’t Look At Me, Short Film Review by Case Wright

Posted on by casewright

A group of cartoon people are in a room and one lady leaves and now she’s in a tilted home and a person. Yeah, I’m confused too. The story flashes back and forth from cartoon to her as a person. Then, she has multiple hands.

I’m so confused that I’m not scared. I just don’t understand. I feel like I need to do math problems after this to return to some order.

You can watch this if you want to, but why? Who hurt you? You deserve love.

Stall, Short Film Review by Case Wright

Posted on by casewright

I was not able to relate too much to this film because I don’t spend a lot of time in bathrooms. In this film, women are in the bathroom, try to leave, and are confronted by a demon; so, they hide in the stall, which works … I guess?

All I can write is that this was a film that was made…on purpose. You must have better things to do than watch this.

Hands Off, Micro Short Film Review by Case Wright

Posted on by casewright

As of now, this micro short has only been viewed 71 times. I haven’t seen this yet, but I am slightly hopeful that it won’t be hot garbage. Here we go!

This short is only 2 minutes and 18 seconds and he starts with…exposition. UGHHGH.

The protagonist, who I will refer to as Mr. Exposition-pants, is walking in the woods on his phone and explaining in great detail why he is there. Apparently, Mr. Exposition-pants took a photography class and is now taking pictures in the woods. Got all that? If not, please rewind and he’ll go over it again for 25% of the film’s total length!

Mr. Exposition-pants finds a severed hand and calls the police? No, he takes a photo and sees another hand that has a note that reads – “Delete that photo”. He does eventually call the police and it’s a demon on the other end. Then, I couldn’t understand what was happening.

You could watch this film or literally do ANYTHING else.

Polaroid, Short Film Review by Case Wright

Posted on by casewright

We begin with a Gen-Z guy going through old boxes and he finds a polaroid camera. He starts taking pictures and sees a demon in the photograph. So, he decides to move out and flees for his safety with just the clothes on his back. Or, he gets out and chases content on youtube to get rich. Instead of all of those smart things, he takes another photo.

When confronted with a demon from another dimension, which you are slowly unleashing into our world, and are being not at all concerned with the well-being of anyone else who could be affected by your shenanigans, it’s PICTURE TIME! You’re gonna Ansel Adams on this B!%#&H!

See, she would’ve taken photos of the demon

I just did not care that this protagonist died. What a gigantic tool! I have a headline for this one:
Gigantic Tool Dies By Stupid.

Monitor, Short Film Review by Case Wright

Posted on by casewright

Ok, sometimes shorts are dull, great, or a downer. Monitor is a downer. Don’t watch it. It’s terrible. It’s not bad in a good bad way. It’s just a bummer.

Two tired parents watching a baby and an evil spirit takes and kills the parents. I told you so. Monitor is a downer.

Sidenote: anyone who says the greatest words are “I love you” has never felt the unadulterated rush of justifiably saying “I told you so”.

Look Up, AI Short Film Review by Case Wright

Posted on by casewright

AI is not always great. I do use it a lot for patent-related work, legal questions, and drafting legal documents. However, for AI to be a tool- you can’t be one. A guy jogs in casual Friday gear, he gets shot with a tree dart, hallucinates, and is kidnapped by a large bat-crow. I never thought about making something boring. Maybe, my writing is not always great, but I don’t think it’s boring.

If the apocalypse is this boring, I pass. Maybe it’s just crow-related apocalypses that are boring? I’m not sure, but this was 4 minutes of my life that was stolen from me. Just stolen!

Delivered, Short Film Review by Case Wright

Posted on by casewright

Why am I supposed to care about this woman? Ok, she lives alone and she ordered food. Maybe, the guy delivered the food to the inside of her house. But how?
She was at the door and there was no way he could’ve gotten past her and she didn’t have headphones on.

Is he a ghost delivery driver? If so, score! No tip! I’m not tipping a dead guy and neither should you. I think that I’m going to review AI again because people are really disappointing me!
