This short had a great concept to begin with, and it's actually a shame that it wasn't expanded and explored beyond the slapstick violence. Having said that, it was a lot of fun in classic 48 hours style, and the end twist (Which was fairly obvious on reflection, but still worked) wrapped up the film well.
This short was a pleasant surprise! This team clearly knows how to tell a story with moving pictures. It rode the fine balance of comedy and story and I loved the slapstick gore - it was good fun. The just-one-arrow gag was killer. Loved the ending. The biggest thing that let this short down was the jaring change from day to night in the middle of a scene which comes down to scheduling I guess?
Surprisingly good short after the first minute I thought it wasn't going to deliver but the ending was great in my opinion!

Really loved it ! The TV show part of the short would have used a little bit more work, but in 48h well, it wasn't a priority. Sorry for not remembering her name, but the Girlfriend was hillarious. Well constructed story. Congratulation guys, it is a pleasure to see a very entertaining movie from a small team.

Well filmed but also not original, violence and splatter targets young audience.
I have to say I am confused how this was nominated as a people's favorite ... But if I forgive the camera work, lighting, script and acting ... it was in essence a one gag wonder that was obvious after the first 30 seconds. It had lots of potential ... but taking the piss of themselves just seems to be the easy option. Perhaps too harsh but I was just left wanting more from it. My 2 stars are for the arrow gag which was one of the highlights of the heat.
Great example of a team having a blast, love these type of 48 hour films. Decent leads, nice twist. Good film to start off a heat and get everyone into it.

Blood-soaked, well produced, lots of fun, and a good twist.
Really enjoyed this short - at first I thought it was ripping off a car commercial but it quickly progressed beyond that and was good fun. The only thing that left me a little bit cold was the ending - after a great comedic twist, the scene continuing into the end credits played really heavy and dramatic - not sure if this was deliberate or not as it seemed like a bit of an unusual shift in tone. Overall though, totally worth checking out.
