1982’s The Dark Crystal is one of the most beloved cult films in history, as you would expect from a lavish fantasy co-directed by legends Jim Henson and Frank Oz. Fans had held out hope for years that a second installment would eventually be made, but it never managed to escape from development hell.
Luckily, Netflix and their bottomless supply of cash stepped in and announced in 2017 that sequel series Age of Resistance was in the works, and the end result was an acclaimed ten-episode run that spared no expense. Not only was The Incredible Hulk‘s Louis Leterrier hired to direct every episode, but a star-studded cast lent their vocal talents to the hotly-anticipated show.
Taron Egerton, Helena Bonham Carter, Jason Isaacs, Simon Pegg, Mark Hamill, Eddie Izzard, Andy Samberg, Bill Hader, Sigourney Weaver and many more played roles in Age of Resistance, and it appeared as though the...

The Duty of Living is a beautifully shot film (using, surprise, surprise, the Red One) that uses the standard zombie set-up to express an interesting allegory about civil vs. family duties. Of course, the two aren't ever mutually exclusive - particularly where the apocalypse is concerned - but the idea creates instant drama, which is exactly what a short film needs. Some of the acting is a little theatrical maybe, but the last glimpse of a chained up zombie is enough to pique our interest.
