Embers (2015)
I wanted to like this but it was too much of a downer.
I feel like the movie did a good job of portraying the scenario it set out to explore. But it made me really sad, not in an Eternal Sunshine kind of way either, but in an existential way.
Too much fridge horror for my liking. If humanity got hit by a virus like this, our species would essentially be extinct. Given that this is a drama and not a horror movie, it made it all the worse, the stakes are too high and the odds of fixing anything are too low.
It was a disturbing thing because I have personally experienced bouts of amnesia and I can't think of anything scarier than this. I recall how I felt when I saw 50 First Dates, this is taking that concept to a global level and it is very unsettling to explore that on screen.
Lure (2008)
The whole movie is right here on IMDb!
I was surprised to see that the entire movie is available to stream right here on IMDb.
It was a noble effort, although the plot was pretty weird. "Frank" was a over-acting a bit in the first half of the short, but was pretty convincing during the second half.
The girls did a good job, although I didn't really understand their M.O.
The music was great and fit in well with the film.
Overall, not bad, definitely worth a watch, especially since you can stream it right here on IMDb for free.
