Short of the Week

I watched "Intrusion" by Jack Michel, which can be found here: http://www.shortoftheweek.com/2014/10/27/intrusion/ .

This documentary, at least at first glance, was a bit hard to watch. The opening scene feels fake, it radiates amateurish execution, and especially with the way that the film progresses throughout the first few scenes, it seems that the plot and the footage will drag on forever. The twist was the only redeeming quality in my eyes. The twist itself merits a moment of realization, however the build up to it could have been tailored to a higher order. To be better I believe the main character of the short should have done intrusive things, such as pocket valuables, not out right as it would ruin the twist, but just subtly hint at the fact that the main man doesn't actually like there.
