Mini-Review: Predictable, and the twist is handled weirdly, but the ending makes up for that. The rest of the film is brilliantly acted and directed, which is what makes it work. The score is really good and sets the mood perfectly, and in spite of the predictability, I haven't seen a film this tense and nerve-wracking in quite a while.

Mini-Review: Technically incompetent to an absurd degree and horribly paced, so that despite its short length it just drags on and on. It is interesting in the sense that it's sympathetic to the plight of transvestites and transsexuals (even though it contradicts its own message a few times, and it's often factually wrong or naive), despite having been made in the fifties. Still, the only joy that can be taken from it is how completely out of place Lugosi is and how dumb his lines are.

Mini-Review: I'm not a fan of Whedon or musicals, but this was pretty good. Neil Patrick Harris is great; he and Fillion carry the short. I don't know why people say the third act's the worst, I felt it was the strongest of the three. Worth a look.
