Quietus (II) (2012)
10/10
Intriguing, well directed and good acting

Really great Aussie short film. It follows Val (Cariba Heine)as she is stalked by Angus McLaren for no apparent reason. He seems to know her very well, but she isn't really aware of him until the end. It's a dark short that leaves a lot to the imagination, but Hari Jago and Burgess Abernethy both prove their writing and directing talent. I really look forward to seeing more from them.

In actuality the short isn't really a 10/10, but it's still up there. I'd give it an 8.5, I wish it explained more about why he is stalking Val. But I wanted the overall score to go up so of course I gave it a 10.

OVERALL I felt the film was delightfully dark, well written, directed, and performed.

You might recognize Angus McLaren from Packed to the Rafters or H2o just add water. Cariba Heine starred in Bait 3D, H2o and the Caroline Byrne movie. The model Jordan Loukas also plays a small role.

I watched the film on YouTube.
