REVIEWED
"Get that gun, off my son" - Gloria Hollister (Eileen Grubba)
Night shift diner waiter Dean's been helping a former physics professor with his research into radar anomalies, only their latest finding could spell the destruction of Earth.
Entertaining 26 minute sci-fi short, that felt a lot like the pilot of a possible television series or even a showreel for a future feature. The acting was solid and characters had a nice quirky comic book charm, that give the whole short a similar tone to Spielberg's 70s/80's sci-fi's. Best of all the cgi work was spot on, the creature fx paid a huge homage to alien (but in a good way). Young Swiss filmmaker Robert Kouba can sign me up for interest in a full feature.
[Personal Reasons For Remembering]
The we're not in Texas ending, and how the little rifts FX reminded me of the wonderful 80's gem 'My Science Project'.
