Review of AM1200

AM1200 (2008)
9/10
One of the best short films ever at the HPL film festival
7 November 2010
Warning: Spoilers
While I think this started out stronger than it ended, I was very impressed with this film. I get sick of comic relief in the short blocks which is quite inappropriate for Lovecraftian horror, so this was refreshing. I feel that the sequence from where the protagonist hears the AM broadcast and then is stranded next to the radio station is the strongest part of the film. The sense of being in the middle of nowhere is better done in this part than almost anything else I have seen. I really miss seeing stunning films like this or Maribito at the HPL film festival. I am wondering where I could get a hold of this to see it again...I do see that they showed it again at this years HPL fest 2010 which I was not able to attend.
