Short Film Saturday: Adam: The Mirror (2017)

It's got to be hard making short films, as no matter how great they may be, as they kind of disappear into the nether after their initial Festival Circuit runs are finished, if they are even lucky enough to get one.

That's why we've decided to showcase some of the many great Horror Shorts that are out there floating around the Interwebs: some are scary, some are fun, and every now and then, we even find one that's a work of art.

The bottom line is that plenty of time and effort went into making them, so they at least deserve to be seen, don't they?

"Oats Studios brings to life the next chapter in the Adam story, made in real-time using Unity. Join our amnesiac hero as he discovers a clue about what and who he is. The next chapter arrives soon."

Another short from Neill Blomkamp and his Oats Studios collective has been gifted to us, and this time it's an animated short made with the game engine Unity.

Let's check it out.


Adam: The Mirror is a gorgeous piece of work that makes me wish I could both see the whole story at feature length and play the video game. Even though it's not a video game. But it could be.

It's super short, but it's captivating as hell.

With as many movies and TV shows out there that are complete shit these days, I can't fathom how studios aren't throwing money at Blomkamp to provide them with watchable product to shop to audiences.
