Customer Reviews of Richter's Agenda

Needed Twilight Zone ending
Other reviewers site this film as predictable and cliched, nevertheless, it was well paced and acted. It's more difficult to create a suspenseful sequence than it looks. I give it points for using ordinary computer sounds (bleeps!) to punctuate the <
>scariness of the girl's predicament. Several holes in the plot(e.g. how does computer turn itself on when she doesn't even bother to turn on a light - shades of Jamie Lee Curtis in Halloween! - don't diminish the fact that it is suspenseful. Tough to develop a character in six short minutes, but the actress' behavior seems natural despite her illogical behavior. "Call 911, damn it!"

crisp
some great shots, and i liked the bit where she's gotta see herself on screen crying, which underscores nicely the idea that internet social life is a way in which we can be counted on to do ourselves in. i could have survived without the pointless phonecall/failure to escape out of stupidity convention, though.

Terrific suspense
As part of the competition, I've been hearing reactions about the other films as well as our own, and the comment I receive most about "Richter's Agenda" is that "I'm never going to IM again." The director does a spectacular job creating a claustrophic atmosphere, and the lead actress is without a doubt the best in all the shorts I've seen on Amazon in both competitions. You guys should be really proud of what you've accomplished here; your place in the final five is well-deserved. <
