It's a well acted, directed and a nice story that I personally felt did not go far enough. There is also not much character development in this 12 minute movie. We see Charlie for a few minutes at the beginning and then after that it's just Sara, mourning him, not realizing he's been turned into a cockroach and trying to get a hold of her until she ends up killing him in the end, leaving us--the audience--wondering if he'll come back as something else or if she finally realized what she had done.

Perhaps if it were a little longer so we could dive into these two people's lives a little more and get to know them better because honestly I fell in love with both of them, both Charlie and Sara and I wanted to see more interaction between them.

Damon Gameau is quite the talented charming actor that he is and it helps for us to see why Sara is mourning him. Brooke Harman knows how to display hurt and sorrow for someone she wanted to spend the rest of her life and they are taken away from her so tragically. But, as an audience I think we'd want more from them.

Would a happy ending be so cheesy? I know sometimes it helps a film for the main character to die so tragically(e.g. Lenny from Of Mice and Men) By having them killed it should arouse sincerity and pity for the fallen soul. But, the summary of this film's plat has been for him to woo her back or loose her forever and still we don't know the out come of either. Does she realize it's him after she crushes him or not? It never tells us or illustrates it well enough for us to understand. Instead, it just leaves us cold and scratching our heads at what this is trying to tell us.

I think Luke Dove and his crew should give us a sequel or a remake with more character development and a better executed, pardon the pun, ending.

Other than that this is a touching story that is well acted and directed that just left me wanting more, LOTS more...
