Film Review: Restless (short film) (2018)

SYNOPSIS:

After dealing with weeks of insomnia due to a tragic event Tiffany begins experiencing several occurrences that have her question what’s real and what’s a figment of her fears.

REVIEW:

More short films, kiddies! Today we have RESTLESS, written, directed, filmed, edited by Ronnie Wilson.

Yes I know…that many jobs on one name is usually not a good sign. However, this is kind of interesting.

Our story focuses on a woman (Tiffany Parker) who just isn’t sleeping. She keeps fiddling with stuff, getting up, rolling over, there’s obviously an issue with her getting any viable sleep.

Now most of us are aware that without proper sleep, our brains do silly things. Our hero is about to learn that lesson….the hard way.

While a very short (four minutes) film, the film makes good use of light and sound to convey the events. Not a lot of dialogue, no special FX as such. Just a straight forward, awake in the middle of the night for no good reason, type of story.

And you know…that’s ok. Sometimes simple is better.
