It’s a weird fucking time to be alive right now. Mother fuckers out here fighting over toilet paper while completely disregarding their safety and everyone else’s by not staying indoors to prevent the spread of the virus. We have businesses putting workers health on the line by remaining open while they should be closing their business doors. While most people want to spend their time arguing with people during this pandemic I’ve decided to watch movies and focus on hobbies.
A few weeks back actress Kinsley Funari reached out to review a new short that she starred in and was directed by actor Josh Miller. Thank you Kinsley for allowing Horror Society and myself to check this out.
**Spoiler Alert**The film follows two friends getting together for a beer and talk about some artwork one of them recently did. Her work showed everything in pairs and she doesn’t understand her need to paint them. Soon her friend begins acting weird and leaves. Soon after his departure she learns the horrifying reasoning behind why he was acting strange. **Spoiler Alert**
Director and actor Josh Miller has been subjected to several of my films due to his work with indie filmmakers Shawn Burkett, Ryan Stacy, and Henrique Couto. He’s an amazing actor and all his experience on indie film only makes him more than qualified to step behind the camera to direct his own films. 2 was a fun short that makes great use of it’s time while showcasing how capable Miller is to step behind the camera.
The acting in this one is great. Miller does a solid job as expected in his role. His character fits the story very well. Kinsley Funari also delivers a solid performance as well. The short is just around 7 minutes so we don’t get a lot of time with them but for the length of the film we get decent performances from both.
The story for this one is entertaining but leaves way more questions than answers. I liked what we were given but the film could have been a hell of a lot longer with so much more substance. Finally, the film has some blood with minimal practical effects but for those of you looking for a bloodbath may want to check out something else. However, if you want a well crafted short with some great acting then this one is for you.
Overall, 2 may not be the most inspiring indie horror short I’ve seen but it is quality. Josh and Kinsley work so well together and I can’t wait to see what they bring us fans in the future. If you get a chance to check this out I highly recommend you do. It’s well worth your time.
