Short film: Wicked Conclusions


This 2016 short film, directed by Phillip G. Carroll Jr., was just over 12 minutes long and opens with a street scene as someone puts a poster up for a missing dog.

In a kitchen Ben (Erik Searle) makes pancakes and practices what he is going to say. He takes the finished stack to Amber (Chloe Carroll), it’s just…

Amber is chained up in the basement as is a young boy, Henry (Boy-Yo Korodan). It seems that Amber went on a date with Ben, they came back to his place but she looked in the basement… It is clear that he bashed her head but he genuinely seems to want to make her understand. Henry is, he suggests, a monster.

Of course, who could the actual monster be? The angelic looking child, the apparently innocent date or the madman who has two people chained in his basement? The film looks to answer that and, of course, by dint of me featuring it here, you know it involves vampirism. All told a fun little short.
