 THE
CONFESSION
:
Film
School
In A Box (Site)
Running Time: Well that kind of depends (more on that later). No sex, no
blood, no gore. (What The Hell!?!) Unrated. Okay, The
Confession is the poignant tale of five people who kinda know one
another who are invited to a little party. A sixth person arrives and
informs them that one of them is a killer; the insanity ensues.
No, it’s not the latest Agatha Christie thriller. Instead,
someone got the bright idea of shooting the entire film on eleven
surveillance cameras. Then they got the bright idea of letting the viewer
switch between cameras to create their own viewing experience. This sounds
like the coolest idea ever. Just not for this flick. 99% of this flick is
talky followed by people yelling at one another and playing tough guy with
sticking a gun in people’s faces. This can get dull pretty quick;
especially since you’re watching it all through surveillance cameras
that aren’t known for their film making capabilities.
To make it worse, it seems that this is the rough cut and soon
there will be a version that has over ten hours of footage. Who in the
Hell is going to watch this apart from film students with too much time on
their hands and the people who made the flick in the first place? I played
with the changing thing for about a minute and tired of it quickly. If
something better acted and more compelling was in front of me it would
have been cool, but as it stands now it’s just a monumental waste of
time. -Douglas A. Waltz
