Short Film: Heist Night


Coming in at around 8-minutes and directed by Angel Alvarez, this 2022 short is simple in plot but does set itself as a prequel to something else.

It starts with a “crew” scoping the home of George Crossley (Angel Alvarez). One of the crew, Mike (Alex Javo), questions why they are there and leader Kevin (Camren Cooley) mentions that Crossley is known to have £5 million in bearer bonds stashed and there is talk of a notebook with the passcode in it. The third crew member, Sam (Curtis J. Goode) is certainly impressed.

They return at night and move behind the house. Sam breaks the door open, cutting his arm as he does so. Now, of course, a freshly opened wound is always a useful plot device in a vampire film… not so much in a heist movie where Sam would clearly be leaving DNA everywhere and they make no move to bind the wound. They simply go upstairs to look for the notepad.

Unbeknown to them there are people in the house, and they come across Mina (Celeste Blandon) first. Chasing her, they end up in a room with Lucy (Hannah Malone) also. Sam holds Mina with his injured arm round her neck (and her looking a tad interested in it) and demanding the whereabouts of the notebook from Lucy. When she doesn’t answer they get a bit shooty – but could there be more to these girls than meets the eyes? Well, I’m featuring it here so, yeah…
