![]() ![]() To get what I didn't like out of the way: I have to mention the writing and dialogue, it was sub-par, I saw another reviewer that mentioned this as well, what they said, when they said it just didn't feel like what you would really say in a situation like they were in, and these task forces (MTFs) are highly trained, they probably wouldn't be chit-chatting while on an assignment like that. This film looked amazing, sounded amazing, a flowed quite smoothly. ![]() And just wow, for a film with a budget of less than 30,000, just wow. I've been an SCP enthusiast for a while now, and once I heard about this I knew I had to see it. I look forward to seeing more projects by Evan and Stephen, I just hope next time I can focus on being scared ) All this being said, I still really liked this, and I think everyone did a wonderful job. The whole time I was just too confused to be scared, which was a little disappointing. Whenever something scary would happen, it wouldn't have the effect it was going for because I was busy thinking about something that happened in the last scene. I didn't feel like I had time to be scared. I get that horror is subjective but just hear me out. And that's part of the bigger thing that irks me about this short is that it wasn't all that scary to me. I understand the appeal of an ambiguous ending and letting the viewer come up with their own idea of what happened, but we just saw so many things happen so rapidly and with no explanation that we can't even come up with a good idea of what might've happened. Then we see that the floating things from earlier are tethered to.something? Then it ends. I think that could've been a great little cliffhanger to end on, but then they switch to Kolinski, who is looking through the camera in confusion. When the team exits the house and has a short exchange with the guys holding down the perimeter, I remember thinking that the guy who asked them to hand over the camera may not have been who he said he was. ![]() The biggest "dude what" moment for me was at the end. But it seemed like there were a whole lot of loose ends that weren't tied up. The premise was fine, I liked the whole cult aspect. ![]() Don't get me wrong, the cast and crew all did a spectacular job but I feel like it was a little lacking in substance. The composition was amazing and the atmosphere was great. I hope to see bigger, longer and more action-packed films from the creators in the inevitable future.SCP Overlord was beautiful. It keeps you on your toes, and the twists were unexpected which just made me fall in love with this movie even more. The story was well-rounded, and it felt more military-ish than many movies with triple its budget. >I watched this movie in the comfort of my own home, and I have to say I have never felt more excited to see where a film goes. Watching it all unfold is an intense adventure! You’ll love the authenticity to militaristic procedures and want to see more. Quite the idea, actually getting the audience to see what the MTF (A subset in the SCP foundation, a fictional organization) deal with on a daily basis and the master minds behind this really deliver. Secret NGO investigates the home of an esoteric cult on suspicion that they are more than meets the eye.ģ5min | Short, Thriller | 14 November 2020 (USA) ![]()
