REMOTE
(20minute short)
Canada, 2010
Director: Marc Roussel
9/10
It's a powerful and almost flawless short film, incredibly thrilling and highly suspenseful. The script is intelligent, complex and very well written, the direction is tight, and the plot (which reminded a bit of "Twilight Zone" or Patrick Rea's works) is simply cool - regular readers know that I love time travel stuff :)

"Remote" is an absolutely excellent time-travel-themed horror-thriller (in the vein of "Frequency" or "The Caller") about a guy who tries to prevent the murder of a young woman with whom he is temporarily connected in time (via television).

The acting is neat and the 2 main characters are cool, believable and very likable. Christopher Guglick's piano/strings score is extremely haunting, Robert Scarborough's cinematography looks beautiful and Mark Sanders' editing is solid.
Highlights: every single plot twist, the super-gorgeous Sarah Silverthorne and a solid amount of gorgeous gore.
