SYNOPSIS:

REVIEW:

More short films, kiddies! Today we have STRIX, a French horror written and directed by Roman Soni.

A man returns home to find his wife held hostage by a masked intruder, who demands a game of 20 questions be played to save her life.

I can’t say a lot about the specifics of the story as it would cross into spoiler territory. I will say that this short film feels like part of a larger story that hasn’t been told yet. I would defintely be interested in a feature film about these characters and their backstory. Hopefully, that is Mr. Soni’s plan.

So using my special short scale of one to five, five being awesome, I’m giving this film 3 questions.
