Dual Cell Online Review–A Short That Shouldn’t Have Bothered

On September 14th, 2009

I love the sheer balls required to tell your audience, currently viewing your short film on YouTube, that copies of the film can be purchased on DVD for just five dollars.  That takes INCREDIBLE balls to offer to sell a copy of the film you’re literally watching for free.

And Dual Cell, a short horror film I found on YouTube, probably should’ve invested more skill in the movie itself than in its marketing.

This one’s about a young lady who finds herself alone in a gas station restroom after midnight with…something.  Just what?  Who knows?  In fact, by the end of the movie, we won’t even really know.

The big problem with this one is that it tried entirely too hard to be some kind of spooky, atmospheric Japanese horror flick, and it didn’t bother to put a whole lot of effort into its resolution.  The end result is a disappointing pile of dreck that really shouldn’t have bothered in the first place.

The Screenhead Ten Scale, accordingly, hands over a two out of ten for the sheer waste of my time this movie represents.
