I absolutely love Deus Irae and just can't get enough! You can conclude that it's a genre film made by genre fans - fans that respect the genre and more importantly, it's audience. Director Pedro Cristiani and his impressive cast and crew have brought to the screen an amazing eye for detail on this production. Everything it seems, including the kitchen sink, soaks up the scenery in a rich, warm candle-lit embrace. Kudos on the solid production design, gorgeous cinematography, brilliant editing (all those subtle cuts), visual effects, make-up effects and the music. This is indeed a labour of love. Creepy and brutal. I couldn't help but soak in the horror projected on screen, yet grin and smirk in the under-lining dark sense of humour Pedro unleashed on me - did I mention all those little details? (This requires repeat viewings) Even after seeing this thirteen-minute short about twenty times now, I'm still hungry for more. Deus Irae has played at a couple of film festivals to date (Toronto After Dark, CineFantasy - Brazil) with more to come (Fantastic Film, Stiges). Be sure to check it out...
