Negatives

By Abbas Khaleeli with 6.8

thriller · Short Films · english

A man is deeply frustrated during the lockdown. The same dissatisfaction leads to an unpleasant effect on his relationships - be it romantic or those within the familial space. However, there is still no escape from daily chores, which is why he finds himself making his way to a dusty corner of the house where he soon stumbles across something strange. It is at this juncture that the story begins to develop after establishing its premise for you. It further aims to invoke a conversation on the forces of good and evil and the manner in which they influence and shape existence.

The film makes efficient use of a limited space and lean cast and crew in the face of the Covid-19 lockdown. Though the final product could have gained from a little more tautness in the narrative to sustain its element of suspense before it wanders off, it still delivers a devoted and notable endeavor of storytelling, and should be appreciated thus.
