It\u2019s set after a massive alien attack where a lone mortician brings in the body of what I presume was one of the victims. \u201cIt\u2019s Here!\u201d is set after the fact where the big story has taken place, and what has happened after the event has unfolded. And therein lies its problem. It\u2019s set after the fact.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s Here!\u201d feels like the epilogue to a larger more horrific film and the prologue to a sequel. In order to really understand what was happening here, I had to really assume a lot, and that\u2019s not really a good thing in the long run. I think \u201cIt\u2019s Here!\u201d could have gone in for at least five more minutes to emphasize the menace and the events that unfolded, and then dive in to the story. It\u2019s a mostly silent film built around mounting tension, and for the most part it really works. We watch as the lone mortician (Freddie Annobil-Dodoo) becomes victim to a predatory alien menace, and then there\u2019s the certainty that the alien or monster just isn\u2019t dead.<\/p>\n<p>I really wanted to know more about what happened before the body came in to the morgue and I really wanted to learn more about the antagonist and what it was capable of. \u201cIt\u2019s Here!\u201d feels like a pitch for a larger more whole science fiction horror film, and not totally like a complete short film that unfolds a total narrative with a beginning a middle and an end. \u201cIt\u2019s Here!\u201d definitely is not a bad movie, it just could use ten more minutes to allow for establishing what we\u2019re supposed to be afraid of. I think Sinclair Obiora is a very talented director, while the editing by Philip Hedgecock is very sharp. I just wanted more in the end; a lot more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sinclair Obiora\u2019s film \u201cIt\u2019s Here!\u201d is a well made little short that I quite enjoyed.
