Sweet Curse (2021)

so unique! i'm pleasantly surprised

since the movie was only 30 mins long the story was very compressed, I think it would've been a lot better as a full-length movie with more detail because it’s such an interesting plot idea. i still enjoyed it and this movie is just a bit of fun isn’t it, not to be taken too seriously and they did a really good job too. I loved how they brought in a different genre (horror) rather than just the classic romance bl. since it was so short I definitely recommend watching it, you’re not going to lose anything and it's hard to get bored mid-way through since it's only 30 mins and things kept happening. I found myself feeling bad for the characters, laughing along and really getting into it too.

Feels unfinished

I liked this short film, it has an interesting story line. A group of gay friends and one of them is very popular which all the other guys flock too while another is extremely jealous of his popularity that he curses him with a ghost. Only this backfires and the two (ghost and human) fall in love which only makes the jealous friend more determined. There's a pretty raunchy sex scene and some worthy acting. But it almost feels like a teaser to more in depth story. I think that's where the story falls flat because we don't know why this guy is so jealous in the first place, his motivation feels weak, although he comes off as unstable and manic so maybe he doesn't need a deeper motive. But why is this ghost beholden to him. How he came to have this knowledge of summoning ghosts/devils etc. Just little unanswered questions that would have strengthened the story. Others have commented about the story being scary, I don't know what most peoples tolerance for horror is but this felt fairly tame to me. I enjoyed it and it has much promise, I just wish there was more. Congrats cast and crew, well done all round.
