Film Review: The Mannequin (short film) (2020)

SYNOPSIS:

Alexia is spending the evening alone, waiting for her boyfriend. But strange things happen with a mannequin…

REVIEW:

More short films, kiddies! Today we have THE MANNEQUIN, directed by Kévin Mendiboure.

This is straight to the point, you guys, so not a lot of pussy-footing around when it comes to a review. Our main character, played by Alexia Zahedi, is hanging around what I assume is her own home, texting her (boyfriend? friend? its not made clear) about meeting up after work.

Nothing too strange about all of that.

But there is this mannequin in the foyer, which unto itself isn’t weird although I think its mad it doesn’t have any clothes on. Because it apparently has some issues.

Short, sweet, to the point, and really good all around. Sound mix is well done, beautiful video quality, and while the special effects are very limited, they strike gold when it counts.
