the best of Nik Box

[trashgang · 7/10 · 27 December 2012]

The world of short movies is very small, when you are attending Uk shorts I can tell you that you will come across the same names a few times, Peter Murfet and Nik Box are two of them. I have seen a lot from both but this time it's Nik's short that I like a lot.

It's just a short and it's not because it clocks in at just over 1 hour. The story itself is very simple and the the place it was played is all the same all over this flick. Ben wakes up one morning realising that a girl is laying dead beside him. A one night stand turned wrong. Ben do has to get lost of the body and for that he hires Mr Clean. From there on there's a bit of black comedy and odd situations. It turns weirder when Barry arrives and commit some kind of necrophilia. But does it all looks what it seems?

Some scene's do take a bit too long and the editing isn't always correct but never mind you still want to know how they are going to solve the problem. There's a twist you can't see coming. The acting was rather good this time and the score used was also a relief. No arty farty this time just a good short with a nice plot change.

low budget fun

Nick has been knocking about the low budget movie scene for quite some time so its great to be able to talk about one of his movies. This motion picture short shows its low budget roots but it never affects the story. A set piece all filmed in one room it has an interesting collection of characters and a story line that you think you have seen before, but which constantly keeps changing to keep you on your toes. Also the ending is a cracker which you will be hard pressed to guess. Some good acting for a low budget affair, with some great directed scenes and a fun plot this is a great film for fans of low budget horror movies.
