Intinction (2022)
Cannibalistic Nuns and Gruesome Fun
There's one simple reason why I wanted to watch writer/director Bobby Canipe Jr.'s short film Intinction. It has cannibalistic nuns. Yes, cannibalistic nuns. As you can probably tell by now, this isn't a film that takes itself too seriously. It's gruesome. It's gory, and most importantly, it's fun.
If I have one gripe, it's the acting. Some of the lines are delivered in monotone fashion, and there's not enough distinction between the friends. Ralph is the only exception simply because he's the comedic relief, clenching a six pack and sporting a hat that says, "I love titties and beer." If this is ever turned into a full-length, and I hope it is, there needs to be more time given to creating fully realized characters.
That said, Intinction is a schlocky good time, a short that succeeds at entertaining. I'd love to see this turned into a feature, especially so the four main characters can have their own personalities and distinctions. While his influences here are clear, Canipe Jr. Crafted his own story set in the present. I'd love to see how far he can push the gore and effects with an even bigger budget.
