Darkness Falls, the new short film by Jarno Lee Vinsencius, is pretty good. It's never easy to be critical of a short film because there's so many things to do in such a short period of time. Darkness Falls is beautifully shot, and is well crafted, but suffers from some weak writing. The major compliment of this film is that it looks gorgeous, and that Vinsencius did an amazing job lighting, and shooting this film. When addressing a short film, it's often easy to point out the bad audio, or the cheap effects, etc but this film, for the most part, avoids those mistakes and looks, sounds, and feels very clean. The only problem for me was the writing. The story does have a good amount of intrigue, but it ends up being a little too confusing at times, and flat at other times. That being said, the look of this film alone deserves recognition.
