Minus 9

About This Movie

Minus 9 is a fascinating short film that channels the eerie essence of Max Aub's 'Exemplary Crimes.' It's got this raw, unsettling tone that lingers long after the credits roll. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the confessions of these disparate murderers to unfold in a way that feels almost clinical, yet deeply personal. There's a starkness to the visuals that complements the grim subject matter, and the performances range from haunting to disturbingly relatable. What sets this film apart is how it manages to humanize acts of violence without glorifying them—it's more about the psyche of the perpetrators than the acts themselves. The practical effects are minimal but effective, amplifying the stark reality of their stories. A unique exploration of morality and consequence, for sure.
