CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Snaggletooth . After experiencing Aftermath I sat down to watch this thinking I was in for another gross out horror-fest, but how wrong I was. Genesis couldn't be further away from the full on gore of Aftermath if it tried. Its just beautiful, simply beautiful. The use of Classical music (which Im not even a fan of) ebbs in and out like waves on a shore, and there's a point about half way through where some light choral music rises in the background almost bringing you to tears. I will watch this again for sure, and Im so pleased to have it in my collection. In a way Im glad this director returned with something to show hes not just a one trick pony trying to sicken people with controversial horror. Genesis surely is a recommended short for anyone into dark cinema or not.

urutsini It's best if you approach this short without knowing what to expect. Then you can immerse yourself in the journey that it takes you on. In particular, the use of colour is brilliant. Genesis is washed out and if colour is used it is mostly weak sepia tones. This serves as a stark backdrop to the occasional, yet perfectly timed, splashes of vibrant colour. Reds, greens and even flesh tones are heightened to a level rarely seen elsewhere.The slow and deliberate orchestral score provides the only narrative to this piece. Not that it needs anything else. This is all about exploring how much the artist (both the director and the lead character) is willing to invest in their art.I can see why this would be too slow for some, but anyone who feels that way is missing the point. Accept it for what it is and you will walk away enlightened, like any good piece of art should.

ElijahCSkuggs Heading into Genesis I was aware of one thing: it's only 30 minutes long. Beyond this, I was totally clueless to what would follow. What did follow was one of the best short-films I've ever seen. Check that....movies I've ever seen.Genesis is the story of a man who from unknown reasons lost his wife. Since losing his wife, he's spent countless hours crafting sculptures of his dearly departed. He's now finishing up on another sculpture and this time, he's truly completed his best work to date. He knows it's his best work, and so does the movie-goer. While putting finishing touches on his masterpiece, he notices a red drip come from out of the shoulder of his statue. Inquisitively he studies it for a little bit and decides to get some rest. A scene later you see him sitting in his bed and his nose begins to bleed, he rushes to the sink to clean up, but what you see in the sink, isn't blood anymore, but residue of some type of ashy clay. From this moment on you're taken on a eerily beautiful trip through, love, dedication and death. It's not just these three feeling/aspects the viewer experiences, these are just the ones I related to most. The movie captures many wonderful and sad things pertaining to life and death.The movie is shot in a gorgeous way; the camera-movement is slow and the camera shots are crisp and graphic. There is zero dialog, but the film thrives with just one silent, talented actor. And I can't forget about the music, it's absolutely perfect, it fits the cinematography 100%. Genesis I believe is more fantasy than horror, but it held my attention firmly as would a horror movie. Simply and flat-out it's one of my favorite movies. 10 outta 10.

cool_cool_1 Genesis (1998) is a very original Spanish movie from Nacho Cerda who also directed "Aftermath", i think out of the 2 films this one is much better, "Aftermath" just seems to be a sick little movie with no plot!! This film is about a Sculptor who's wife dies tragically in a car accident, the guy loved his wife so much and is totally shattered, so in her memory he creates a life size sculpture of her, but crazy things start to happen, the sculpture starts becoming human, it starts to bleed and more skin appears, as this process is going on, the man starts to turn to stone!!! Very bizarre i know but it's only 30 minutes in length and remains entertaining during that time! Seek it out if you like foreign films that are sad and powerful and very different!!! 7/10.
