The Fewdio line of short horror has proven to be a spectacular run so far, with most of its shorts being of the highest quality.  But not all of them are good–frankly, I’d be downright terrified if they WERE all good–and I’ve found another one in the bunch that’s of lesser quality.

This one’s called Marie, and it’s an eleven-minute short about a hit man who discovers the unpleasant truth behind a target’s last words.

It’s hard to call Fewdio out, because I remember how much amazing stuff they’ve put out, but really, Marie is not one of them.  The buildup is actually derivative of several other stories I’ve heard, and worse yet, the ending was completely incoherent. In fact, it almost seems like a necessary chunk of the movie illustrating how we got from one part of the ending to another was removed–it’s just that abrupt.

So no, Marie is not one of Fewdio’s best, and that’s all right.  Can’t win ‘em all, you know?
