Corvus Trailers

CORVUS follows a weary yet extraordinary police detective as he pieces together a young woman's murder. The crime reveals itself in a series of moments that allow the detective to see past the facts, and into the story with a strange sense of familiarity.

Reviews
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
kartik2553 I saw 9 shorts at the Toronto after dark film festival and this was one of them. This was very well shot. But I couldn't really make any sense of the story. It felt a little pretentious thanks to the ending. almost like it should have ended with a "Fin" instead of "The End" showing up. Maybe people with film degrees might get this film. This to me seemed like it could be re-cut to be a perfume advertisement or something with the black and white movie and 1950s clothes styling. The story is told as a first person narrative from the point of view of a detective investigating a death in the woods. It goes from there to show us the actual events leading up to the death. It was OK until the ending, the ending is where they lost me completely. I couldn't tell what it meant. Neither could any of the other people watching the movie in my group. That poor ending killed the whole short for me, which was otherwise well shot and well costumed, with decent acting. Hope to see more of his work in the future perhaps with a more approachable story.
