"He Dies at the End" is an Irish 4-minute horror movie from 2010. It is in black-and-white and was written and directed by Damian Mc Carthy. Lead actor is Fintan Collins. We see a man alone in a small office answering questions that a computer software asks him. Quickly though these questions become pretty scary. I personally found the film at its best with the "do you know the person behind you". That was a nail-biter moments, also good camera work in that scene. Some people will say that the ending takes away from the quality, but I disagree. Yes it was about invisible danger all along and the creature looks pretty weird, but it's black humor in my opinion spoofing other horror films or the genre in general with that ending and the title of the film is a spoof as well as it's the biggest spoiler ever and makes fun of horror filmmaker that really try to get people to see their (frequently weak) works by choosing the baitiest titles out there. I think this was a good atmospheric watch. Nothing really great, but I liked it and I am not even a big horror fan film. Go check it out.

It seems a sketch of a horror. Obvious, absolutely a good one. From the atmosphere to the provocative title, from the dialogue man- computer and the tension becoming larger, all is proof of precise art . And the end ... .It is perfect, defining the fear near us as the most plausible answer to the first question of computer .
