Greetings
valued Dan's Movie Report readers. Direct from Uruguay comes a fresh
new horror short called 'Them'. Clocking in at a bit over 6 minutes,
this black and white descent into madness can be described as an
experimental horror film with esoteric subject matter. Star Claudia
Rivarelli is the only actor in the film and 'Them' follows her
downward spiral to the depths of insanity, or a private alternate
reality in her mind.
It is
always difficult for a first time actress, yet Claudia manages to
convince the world of her insanity on film at least Claudia reminds
me in voice and appearance of Monica Bellucci, even her mannerisms.
Sometimes overly dialogue laden films can become tedious. 'Them'
however, comes in to the 'wanting more' category, a bit like a Edgar
Allen Poe story, we are thrust into the middle of the action.
The
film's creator Charles Bolprand takes a minimalist approach and this
allows the viewer to create his or her own picture of horror. The
film is a a very strong first effort for all involved, Claudia has a
good look and displays her character openly. Claudia has a desire to
branch out beyond her home country and 'Them' is a great way to begin
her acting career.
Overall
'Them' is a very cool short film, the audience may be limited to
horror genre, but fans of dramatic films may like the fact that this
horror film spills no blood, just theater for the mind. 'Them' rates
a 8 out of 10, great work, looking forward to seeing more.
