Very good idea but unfortunately too short to fully capitalize on its potential
This very short BL movie (about 30 minutes) has a really interesting concept that would have benefited to be more developed (either as a full length movie, either even as a drama).
It leans towards the horror genre but again, it could have been better if the production would have really been amplifying the horrific setting. Here, it is not really frightening despite the truly interesting fantastical elements. The idea of the curse and all its components linked is a very good one.
The relationships between the characters (the main ones but their friends as well) were full of clues about things being much more complicated than at first face value...With more time to fully fleshed all of those, it could have become a really great story. The cast did a suitable job and were pretty convincing in conveying the emotions (even the ambiguity) of some of the characters.
I would recommend this to people that are looking for a different kind of BL story. It is super short so you might feel that the story is not reaching its full potential but I still think that it is worth giving it a try given the originality of the concept.
