TheEvilTwin

Imaginative, scary, atmospheric and technically great! This six-minute terror of an unknown "woman" in the middle of a family's dinner is, in the end, a brisk short that lacks perhaps only the addition of a backstory of the characters, what is actually going on here and why - if I got that, I wouldn't hesitate to fire full score.

An atmospheric and visual horror orgy, and a result just as excellent as the feature film Smile. No wonder the company gave the project the green light after this short. Smile is for me one of the top horror films of recent years and this "predecessor" is just further proof of that.

I believe that at the time it was released, it was a fine innovative blockbuster that managed to shock. Today, however, Independence Day doesn't impress at all, because we've seen everything in it a thousand times and better. The acting is average, the visuals were fine for the time, but today they are rather laughable, and the completely formulaic plot doesn't add to its appeal either. Roland Emmerich's sci-fi vision, which he spins over and over again in each of his films, also slowly comes across as his pure egotism and personal ambition to make films "for himself", I guess I can't really explain it any other way. I was thinking that this particular piece is quite famous, well-known and praised, but for me it's just a below average misstep that I'd rather not remember tomorrow.
