Thicker Than Water

This is how you do splatter without just spraying the usual blood around everywhere. Super clever!

All the characters are pretty cliché but that matters not - they're all dislikable and so well cast and acted. All the tech is spot on, it's well written, the comedy is on point, each "disqualification" so good, and there's a nice little twist at the end.

So well done, great fun and instantly rewatchable. Surely this short will go a long, long way in this comp.

Top-tier stuff. Especially impressed with the tightness of the script and the edit. The film somehow curls a LOT of characters and a knotty situation into a tight fist and punches out a bloody whopper of comedy chaos. Excellent.

Total Banger of a film.
Great twist of the genre and the effects were used to perfection - stomach turning perfection.
Script wise - the relationships were so clear and the situation made all of the characters so identifiable immediately which was chef kiss nicely done.

Someone said that its the teams first year entering and its unbelievable to see a first time team create a film so tight! WOW.

'Death at a Funeral' meets splatter - the combo that we didn't know that we needed. I thoroughly enjoyed this polished film that showcased Isla's strong direction and smooth performances from the entire cast. Although there was no surprising or unique character arcs, this helped the audience get right into the main event: the vomit, which by the way, made me gag more than I would have liked during my first watch. The build-up of this film was stellar and the pay-off was satisfying - Thicker Than Water was an extremely confident film from extremely confident filmmakers. Bravo!
