Cinema is a language, and Polaris Banks speaks it fluently. There’s a wonderful level of control to how this film is shot and edited. If one could invest in filmmakers like a stock, I’d be willing to bet my savings on this one. - GutterMan2049

I admit that I don't know much about short films, but boy I sure did enjoy this one. It's kind of remarkable what a talented director can accomplish in only 12 mins. I definitely recommend spending the small amount of time it takes to check this out. Stylized, brutal, and cool. - kylo_ren_memes
Oh dude I need more! So intriguing. Like the ultimate what if situation! It may only be like 12 minutes long, but it hooked me from the get go... and I will be thinking about it every time something happens from now on... - Ammwf
The concept is ripe for further exploration. - sarahconor

This was fun & I would love to see a feature-length film. - exorcismemily
The vibe to me is like the quirkiness of ‘Please Be Kind Rewind,’ meets the nighttime surreal mischief seen in ‘Nightcrawler,’ which is a big compliment. It really was a refreshingly fun short film with lots of misfit criminals doing weird stuff. - Michael O'Keefe
This is an awesome short with an awesome idea at its core. Its hilarious, witty, and brewing with series or film potential. - Chichobutt89
Let me add to the chorus hoping for something longer. - rjtougas

It's an intriguing idea and begs for way more than a short. I love the look of all of this, from the strange eye-covered lens the team wears to the shock ending. And I want so much more. - bandsaboutmovie

"Why don't we just close are eyes and go LALALALALALA" Now this is a cool short, very unique idea that would make a cool feature length. - Dominic
