"The 31st"

Plagued with guilt, the friend of a recently deceased girl is visited by her spector on the anniversary of her death.
Pros: Solid film with good plot
Cons: Atmosphere
G'day and thanks for sharing! Perfect timing with Halloween upon us.

I enjoyed the premise of this film, with a clear set-up and some nice haunting effects that wouldn't have broken the bank. Indiana Travis has to get a nod as he shares my name, though of course the film is carried by the main actress who certainly conveys her turmoil well.

The choice of shots/angles felt fluid and offered suitable coverage of the events, though I felt toward the end it should perhaps have gotten a little darker, even with either a little fog or a vignette perhaps for the reveal of the "ghost".

The flashbacks complimented the main storyline, increasing the tempo and tension for the climax - however when it arrived, I just felt the main character should have had a slightly more dramatic response upon seeing her dead friend. Seriously though - it's just a nitpick - my lecturer always said with short films, "Once you get to the end, get out quick", and that's what you've done! :)

cheers

Travis
