Due F The Blue Drum unravels the mystery left behind by a loved one’s death, blending tension with quiet sorrow. Though the short runtime limits character depth and emotional resonance, its haunting sound design and subtle conflict sustain intrigue. Despite a flat ending, the film leaves a lingering truth — that no one is ever fully known, and every heart hides a secret beneath its calm surface.

But it became predictable as soon as the sister started trash talking her dead brother. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/18/25 Full Review Gregory T The pacing could have been better, but I still enjoyed the story and its surprise ending. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/15/25 Full Review Justin T I found this really unengaging and slow. So little happens. You’d expect a short film to have a good pace but this doesn’t. Everything else is adequate, just instantly forgettable. It’s a short film so I don't have much to say, and I won't watch it again. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/25 Full Review Rika K I did not catch that it was only 16 minutes long until it ended, but I thought it was great. Sure, at first I was slightly disappointed that there wasn't more to it, but it works perfectly well as a short story. I've seen it described as a really well done school project and yes, it definitely strikes me as an incredibly well done student film. I honestly don't understand the bad reviews that are complaining about the length. Surely, wishing it had been longer is a credit to it. Really cool little snack of a film. Would recommend.
