To be the villain

Givertaker (2016)

Directed by Paul Gandersman this short film stars Caiti Ward, Jessica Perrin, Sharmita Bhattacharya and Nell Kessler. A teenage girl contacts a dark, mystical force to right the perceived wrongs against her.

While this is naturally a simple narrative given the short run time I really liked the way the plot balances the information you get and the twist at the end. Offering both the idea that you should be careful what you wish for but also the idea that no one sees themselves as the villain this is a pretty refreshing take on familiar ideas. The cast is decent and the special effects really good for the low budget.

4/5
