Dilemma

About This Movie

Dilemma, Ian Tierney's debut short, really dives into some dark territory in just 7 minutes. The pacing is tight, keeping you on edge as the protagonist wakes up in a room with two bound strangers, facing a horrific choice. The atmosphere is claustrophobic, amplified by the minimalist setting and stark lighting. It plays with moral themes and human instinct, forcing viewers to question what they'd do in such a life-or-death scenario. The practical effects are serviceable but effective, creating a palpable tension. The performances, while brief, convey desperation and fear well, pulling you into their grim reality. It's a little gem that pushes boundaries for a short film, leaving you with more questions than answers.

Tight pacing that keeps you engaged.Explores heavy themes of morality and choice.Compact yet impactful performances.
