Don't listen to the negative reviews

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Let me start of by saying I did not know what kind of short film this was going to be, I have seen many before in the past some good some bad and other plain ugly. This however was surprisingly good It did not have that low budget feel you get in some short films, it felt cinematic something along the lines of a independent film and the lack of special effects make it better. The way we are introduced to this world of angels and angel slayer reminds of John Wick and how we where eased into a world we knew nothing about. It felt like a medieval story retold in the modern times. the drifter felt like a wandering monster hunter something along the lines of a Witcher from the Witcher book and video games. I would really like the creators to flesh out the story maybe as a mini-series of sorts. At the end of the day I liked this short film.

From the opening scene to the last words uttered, this short film captivates and excels. The cinematography sets up a bleak portrait of a lonesome survivor, fighting tirelessly in a future dystopia. Rather than bombard you with unnecessary backstory, the writers of this film instead invite you to create your own scenarios that could have led to such a dark future. The one flashback sequence brings up images of a boy possessed with a power he can't understand, leading others to call him crazy. This was enough backstory to have me running through possible situations and explanations for everything else I saw in the film.What stands out most to me in this film is how well the effects resonate with the overall tone of the film. Normally seen as guardian figures, the angels in this are dark and downright scary. That, along with a very convincing lead role, set up an entirely believable and immersive world. I can only hope that this becomes a full length production, as there are many questions and ideas that come to mind when the six minutes are over. All in all, one of the best short films I've seen and I will be keeping an eye out for more!

As They Continue to Fall does everything a short film should do. It gets across the story in under ten minutes and provides a deeper meaning behind what is presented. There is obviously some real talent at work here, both in the direction and the writing. There is very little I can see was wrong about the short. Aside from the sub-par angel costumes, everything looks very professional, from the lighting to the colour grading, and could easily have been part of a high-budget feature film. There are some great shots in here, and I especially loved the colour choices in the child scene. The director clearly knows what he is doing, and there is strong talent behind him.I am aware the director is trying to turn this in to a feature film, and I really think he should. There is some great potential here for a fantastic film.

This short, penned by C. Robert Cargill (Sinister and the upcoming Dr. Strange movie), and directed by Nikhil Bhagat showcases stunning, gritty scenes that convey big budget visuals without seeming gaudy. The beautiful backdrop, a grimy, dystopian city, is offset by the gritty, minimalist dialogue that is only more compelling in its thrift. Bhagat uses the the camera the same way Cargill uses his words - sparingly - and the end result is better for it. It doesn't bombard you with unnecessary cuts or camera movement, but the action doesn't suffer. In fact, the action is amplified by the stillness through most of the short, making the up-tempo portions stand out that much more.The viewer is given a very clear sense of the world these characters live in without having to delve into an abundance of back story or explanation. The one flashback we get for explanation is like everything else, extremely concise. It gives just enough information to understand the action, but isn't so cut and dry that you can't imagine more. The potential for more context is there, but not required, allowing the story to still function as a short.All in all a great short film.
