Nathan takes an unexpected detour through a small town on his road trip. The startling events that unfold around him defy logic or explanation. Fortunately, however, they don't defy the tenets of awesome filmmaking. Still Life is a brilliant exercise in paranormal storytelling. Rod Serling would be proud.

this is a really sick short film... very cool...
thorlewis674/14/08
I started out thinking mannequins? Thats the best they can do? Cheap-***** FX lol. It wasn't until the end and he sees himself in the mirror... I did a total rewind. A unique glimpse inside the head of a schizophrenic? Drug addict? Whatever, it was very cool. Loved it.

The best of the sci-fi/horror shorts. Excellent story-telling.

RayRenoTech2/17/08
I liked this film a lot. It represents schizophrenia and dilusions to a T. The OMG I cannot believe I did that scnerio is all too spooky. I had a delusion once. I know how this feels. It's creepy, mean, and very sad. Very good job by the director / writer... Very spooky and realistic film for me.
WillCall0242/16/08
this is great! i plan to use it in my psychology class when we discuss schizophrenia and delusions.

This was great, yeah. Very well done.
Alucard3010/19/07
This reminds me of the weeping angel episode from the series Dr. Who. Where the weeping Angel statues only came to life when you didn;t look at them or blinked but when you did see them they would freeze into statues. Pretty cool concept if done correctly. Im still confused as to what was going on. Was it the drugs he was taking that altered his perception of reality. It was kind of funny though.

bakerrr843/27/07
wow. it was awesome.crazy concept with a great twist.
dr_vetter203/27/07
Absolutely astounding. It had me guessing until the end. This is a great commentary on mental illness. Should the mentally unstable be punished for what they did, even though what they saw was completely different?
Atrumentis3/27/07
wow, best short film ever. And um, its pretty obvious why it turns real at the end or why its all 'still life' in the first place. Well, I'd say he is somehow intoxicated or just because he's tired, that the whole world seems to lag. The 'still life' is just major lag for him, but then he comes to his senses after the shock of what he did that he realises that its all real and no longer 'lags'. I love it so much.
*****tmail*****3/22/07
it wasokay...would not watch it again...
obijuan3/20/07
Wow. Cool. Clever as hell.
