Abe (2013 short)

Abe

4 stars out of 5.

An 8 minute villian's monologue to it's latest victim.  How much difference is there really between a sociopath and a robot.  My understanding is that sociopaths feel no differently about tables, chairs or tools they they do about friends and family.  They can recognize them for what they are, but can not connect to them.

Directed by Rob McLellan who shares the story credit with Sven Hornsey, poses a great "what if?" in this well done short.  In my mind if and when the robot is captured it will have to the destroyed, or decommissioned to the point where it can do no more harm.

Which brings me to my next point, why do we keep violent killing psychopaths and sociopaths alive?  They are dangerous and without remorse.... I digress, perhaps this is one of the what if's Rob and Sven wanted to encourage.  Either way, it was well done and had a great creepy feel to it which kept me uneasy and tense through out.

I hope you enjoy watching it and enjoy rolling the thoughts around in your head after wards.
