Very slow to pick up. No back story for any of the characters, so there's a lot of piecing together. All we know is the main character is a soldier witch hunting, but don't know why exactly and never really find out why. Huge potholes along those lines. The lead is uninviting, unlikable, and without personality, unfortunately he's the only one on film for the majority of this short. It's painfully obvious he's pretending (not acting) to be a soldier, walking with clumsy footing and aiming wildly in every direction. It's off putting since he's supposed to be incredibly skilled and hardened by it as the story tries to tell.
Unfortunately mostly poor acting from the lead brought this movie down. There's no action sequence or thrilling moments to make up for that loss. The story was underdeveloped and also relied too heavily on scenery breakaways and an overly ominous soundtrack. 2 stars because the other actors had personality, but got very little screentime.
