I'm Dead

When Joe discovers his next door neighbour dead, he's forced into making a terrible choice - secretly dispose of her corpse or be framed for her murder. There is a nicely simple delivery and quick pace to this short film; it has some twists and turns in it, and mostly it is these that drive the film along. It works pretty well because of how convincing it is in any specific moment - so when it is silly it is silly, but when it is meant to be a bit tense it does that too. As a total narrative there is not much there, and it probably wouldn't stand up to repeat viewings as well as the first 'sight unseen' one, but it is nicely punchy in a dark and funny way.
