Granted, some WERE perfect as shorts, but I listed all that stood out above the rest.
something cool could probably be done with I-is-for-Invincible
shareI would like to know the backstory to X, like what was going on with the sitter?
shareI felt like she was just extremely stressed out having to deal with that annoying kid and finally one day just lost it. Truth be told, I was ready to do the deed myself after just a few seconds of her banging on that xylophone.
R is for Roulette is probably the most incomplete of the shorts....it doesn't even pretend to have an ending!
shareOf those, only Knell has any potential as a full-length film. Most of these are one-note jokes, trite social commentaries, and barely formed ideas that overstay their welcome even at just a few minutes.
R was good, but it only works in this specific format. The roulette gag is 95% of the short, if you take that away it's just a fraction of a zombie movie. Nothing else differentiates it or makes it worth extending.
I LOVED Z for Zygote. It was truly original and extremely creepy, especially after you thought about it even more once it was over. IMO
