The Formorian (2007) User Reviews

Promising but too short

[johno-21 · 6/10 · 4 September 2007]

I saw this last month at the 2007 Palm Springs International Festival of Short Films. This is the story as narrated by actor Gerry O'Brien of ancient Ireland when a warrior (Charlie Kranz) comes across a mythical humanoid demonic creature in the woods called a Formorian (Norma Sheahan). The Formorian race was dedicated to wiping out all humans but this creature is wounded and the warrior offers it aid. Aidenn McCarthy writes and directs her second short following last year's The Window. Stephen Murphy is the cinematographer, Special Effects by Dave Roddham and makeup by Tommy McInerney. This is too complex and broad of a subject for a mere 6 minute short. This would have worked better with some character and storyline development for a 15-20 minute short. I would give this a 6.0 out of 10.
