Eveless

Eveless is a 2016 American short science-fiction horror film directed and co-written by Antonio Padovan about two men living in a world without women who attempt to create one with only the limited resources they have gathered.

"[3] The script said nothing about where or why this was happening; Kridakorn was intrigued, and found the prospect of playing one of the parts exciting, and moreover, Padovan's first horror short, Jack Attack (2013) had done very well, having been selected by more than fifty festivals and winning more than thirty awards.

Kridakorn's job initially was to "bring everyone on board", which now included Lin; once he had recruited his co-executive producer Greg Engbrecht (who also plays opposite him in Eveless), the core team had been assembled.

[11] the feature was conceived by Little Terrors short films festival founder Justin McConnell, who directed the narrative frame, and Indiecan Entertainment's Avi Federgreen.

Alexandra Heller-Nicholas calls the short film "confident" and minimalist, stating it "packs an unforgettable punch", describing it as a "gritty, grotty dystopian nightmare world" in which the two men "battle against nature" in a struggle "to keep civilisation going on their own.

In this case, the confined, claustrophobic setting is literally overflowing with intriguingly detailed yet vaguely disturbing props and trappings, representing quite a triumph from production designer Roxy Martinez.

[18] Reviewing the film as part of the Galaxy of Horrors anthology, Carl Fisher calls it "visceral" and suggests "the grittiness of the environment & excellent performances really sell it", along with "believable characters & acting".

[19] Jay Seaver, who enjoys "gross-out" films, gives the short 3 stars out of 4: "it sketches out an outlandish premise, serves up a fair amount of stuff that's not for the squeamish, and has a sense of its own absurdity.
