Hear No Evil

Even without the sound, you could see it was an awesome horror film, influenced by 90s Japanese horrors like 'Pulse'. I liked the flashbacks of people committing suicide or killing others. Well done. You need to watch your boom placement, cos it had a couple of cameos, but otherwise really cool. Hearing the dialogue and music just added to it.

Evil Dead-font intro for the film title made me smile, as a group of three try to survive in an apocalyptic world where everyone is getting killed or going crazy that comes in contact with a signal (ear suicide with the wire was fantastic!) I also liked the hole up in an attic that seemed to be very much like the original attic in Dawn of the Dead; like Romero has always said, the focus should always be on the people when the world falls apart. This team covered that well, even throwing in a bit of romantic drama. I dug the vibe, also seemed to have nods to The Signal and The Crazies. Ended a bit abruptly but oh well.

Deliciously ironic title when this originally played without dialogue. Mistake was fixed, and the film was restarted. Some kind of virus that is transmitted through sound is turning people into psychopaths, who kill others and often themselves. Three people run for their life, trying to stay ahead of the virus and the killers. I bet that paperclip scene got exactly the response you were looking for. And we had to go through it twice! Good use of prop. An enjoyable short that played horror seriously; always welcome and often my favourite type of 48hours film. I particularly liked the editing during that "showing the effects of the virus" montage (for lack of a better term).

A "Pulse" style horror that has a love subplot thrown in. There were some genuinely disturbing moments in this film - woman getting hit on head by a radio and the paper clip scene come to mind - but overall it just felt a little too ambitious and under developed. I loved some of the cinematography - the scene where the leads are hiding behind a wall and the overexposed outside has creepy silhouettes of people running past was a very memorable shot - but overall I felt that this film was undercooked. It never really did a good job of explaining who Bobby was or what the deal with the leads was, and the nature of the terror wasn't really clear either. I kind of got the idea, but felt it needed a bit more exposure rather than being background to the leads rather unconvincing romantic interest.
