Sep 28, 2021
Positives:
Well! This should be a case study for Zack Snyder that you don’t need a film to be a bladder-busting 242 minutes in order to tell a story. At just 80 seconds long, this is a masterclass in subliminal editing.
The film is both disturbing and quirky. Is the tattooist just day-dreaming? Is what he is thinking about down in his shop’s cellar right now? Is the semi-naked girl on the table to be next? All questions and no answers are forthcoming!
It’s impressive when you think of all of the production design that had to go into making each of those subliminal shots (e.g. the still below). As in Wong’s previous short film (“The Story of 90 Coins“), the lighting and cinematography is first rate.
Negatives:
None. For what it is, it’s very impressive.

Nov 9, 2021
The clues come thick and fast, as so the death threats. Avery is still trying to deal with the fact that her father wants to get his hands on the money too, and he will do all that he can to make sure that he gets ‘his share’.
Grayson and Jameson Hawthorne are still being their enigmatic selves, and Avery appears undecided as to which brother she likes best (why choose?!).
By the end of the book, a lot of questions are answered, but there are plenty more that need resolving.
I’ll be very interested to see what happens in the next instalment!
