This would be considred by many as a TV show, however I did not see it on TV, so I consider it more of a short film.
Masters of Horror: Cigarette Burns
John Carpenter has still got it. This was a very creepy, atmospheric short film that I enjoyed alot. For the most part the actrs are great, however the leading man left alot to be desired. Reminded me a bit of Mark LaCour from Dark Heritage, and incase you might not be familiar with that film, thats far from a compliment. Otherwise the cast was great, I especially like Udo Kier, he added an almost comic sence of malice to his scenes. The "Willowy Being" as it was credited was also very good. The gore and effects were phenominal; the back of the aforementioned "Willowy Being" looked great, as did the rest of the gore in this surprisingly violent film. I wont spoil the plot, but I thought it was very interesting, and moved at a nice pace. The hour long time-slot definatly worked to it's advantage. Had a very good ending as well, and thankfully left a few questions unanswered. Lastly, Im very glad Carpenter didn't show us very much of "La Fin Absolue Du Monde", I think showing it would have severly detracteed from the film. Overall, I highly recomend this.
8.5/10
