Abomination is a compelling short that despite its 15 minutes of duration, achieves more gravity than many features. The short is put together with extreme care the performances are powerful and the rhythm, the silences, glares, seem to come from a seasoned filmmaker, fully in control of his medium. Also, unlike many shorts made by young filmmakers, who seem more interested in lowbrow horror comedies, or "clever shorts" with a 360 degree twist at the end"; Tyler Wilson show social preoccupations here that make you imagine the kind of work he'll do when he moves to feature length territory. This is a great calling card for a promising filmmaker with something to say, and unique nowadays in a commercialism that permeates even the independent, no- budget productions.
