Verdict on My Dreams Have Been Dark of Late

My Dreams Have Been Dark of Late is a short horror movie following a lone knight (Lincoln). As he looks to rest up, he finds the armour betraying him, with dire consequences.

This is only 4 minutes long, but it makes the full effect of the dire consequences the knight is facing. It shows the pain he finds himself going through. While it could be seen to be a metaphor for struggling to sleep at night. It could also be seen as a story that shows how painful life can be when it comes crushing down on you. This is an interesting idea because it could be seen through many different eyes to take the most of out it. 

Final Thoughts – My Dreams Have Been Dark of Late is short but leaves a massive impression.
