\"\"<\/a>Premiering at the LA International Short Film Festival, Tim Aslin and Shane Cibella\u2019s short \u201c5.7 Seconds\u201d is a great idea, teeming with the feeling from a movie like \u201c28 Weeks Later.\u201d In an undisclosed location, in an unexplained calamity, a young woman rushes in to an abandoned car and locks herself inside from stalking individuals out in the middle of the day. Distraught and panicked, she locks the doors and is shocked to discover someone else has been hiding in the car, too.<\/p>\n

Unsure about their intentions or if they\u2019re \u201ctainted,\u201d their mistrust soon betrays their survival instincts. Now it becomes a matter of who can be trusted, and if it\u2019s worth risking your life to prevent losing it. A lot of \u201c5.7 Seconds\u201d is so abundantly vague that I was never sure what was unfolding here. It\u2019s often times watching like a \u201c28 Days Later\u201d fan film, and other times it feels like a \u201cBird Box\u201d situation. The closed in setting and rapid fire cuts don\u2019t help to soothe the inherent anxiety.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, \u201c5.7 Seconds\u201d is very good at keeping the tension thick and the paranoia absolutely taut through the end credits; I also loved Shante DeLoach and Henry Hetz in their duel roles, playing well off of one another while also maintaining the film\u2019s intentional hazy circumstances. I admit I didn\u2019t think much of the finale, nor did it really offer a ton of explanation or clarity toward what we\u2019d invested time in to. But that doesn\u2019t fully hinder what is a unique and creepy chamber piece<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
