"Vessel" is an American Englisg-language short film from 2012, so this one has its 5th anniversary this year. It is perhaps the most known work by director Clark Baker, but neither he nor any of the cast members are particularly well-known here. The stars are probably the Duffer Brothers because of their Emmy-nominated work on Stranger Things. But back to this one here: It runs for 14 minutes only and I think it starts pretty well with a strange situation on an airplane that may be close to an extraterrestrial life form. The claustrophobic location helps matters overall, but sadly the film quickly, i.e. when the danger gets visible, turns into a truly generic and forgettable mix of horror and Sci-Fi. And even if the genres are not exactly my favorite, especially the latter, I must say that it was also from a more neutral perspective anything special and got worse too quickly. I am not curious about a potential full feature film that is in talks to be made based on this pretty short movie. Watch something else instead.
