Minor Anger Issues is the latest short film from Turkish writer Erdeniz Tunç and director Can Sagir (Shadow of Violence, Ancient Voice). I have always appreciated the films from these two, and after the more thriller orientated previous short, I figured this new one would follow a similar path. I was pleased to see it actually blends the horror and thriller genres into an entertaining blend.
At a school, a teacher explains to the older brother of a troubled school kid that the boy needs to learn to control his anger issues. Staying with the older brother due to the parents splitting up, the brother believes this turmoil may be the reason for his misplaced anger. Later that day while the boy is sleeping in bed, two intruders break in, and come to learn the minor anger issues of the young boy may be more than they can handle.
At six minutes forty five seconds, this was a compact short that told its story in a lean and effective way. The first part takes place at the school, and it is about halfway into the story that the horror part begins. I assumed this was going to be a home invasion film in short form, but with minimal though effective special effects, this becomes something different.
Not too much more to say about Minor Anger Issues, I was delighted with the change-up of expectations and it told its story in a minimalist fashion, combining to make something worth a watch, and also the best short I have seen yet from this duo.
