THE REVIEW
Another spectacular short by C.A. Broadstone, this one however can be compared to his previous short "My Skin". With me saying this I mean, because of how great these 2 shorts are. Human No More has an extraordinary polished look and feel and it is easily gentle on the viewers eye, In Human No More we have only one main character here, and that is Captain Nemo, played once again brilliantly by Tony Simmons, I have said it again previously and I will once again repeat....Simmons could possibly play ant character given ro him. In this Detective Nemo, is has lost his family at the hands of a murderer. Both saddened and disgusted by it, he looses faith in all humanity. He question's humanity saying that "the world is one big killing machine" He also questions god and the devil, as to what his life's plan is.

As I mentioned earlier, this film has the camera work and trickery that will leave you visual intoxicated, by what you see. It has the look of pure professionalism.

What I did not like about this film was the difficulty in grasping what was going on, at times for me... it was hard to become emotionally connected to Nemo.

With that said, this film gets a rather high rating for it's looks alone!

GORE METER

MUSICAL SCORE
4/10 The soundtrack is creepy and adds an edge to the film, also another awesome closing theme is added here,

OVERALL IMPRESSION OF THE FILM
Over all out of the three, I received from Chris, I would have to say that "My Skin" still remains the favorite...I recommend this to any short film fan, or just horror fan in general.
