Hangar
18 is an Indie short which explores the world of black ops and secret government
missions. After spending time in the 'Hangar', Lt. Harry Gonzalez cannot
distinguish what is normal life and what was part of his “black ops” mission.
As time passes he becomes increasing disturbed and delusional and a new mission
takes control of his violent psyche, kill anything he comes across.
Since
Lt. Gonzalez was away for quite some time and his wife did not know whether he
was still alive, she decided to abort their child and this comes to haunt him.
As he goes totally over the edge he becomes a killing machine with a large
knife.
The
government decides he is an unnecessary risk and sends several agents to kill
him and this brings the story full circle back to the Hangar where Harry learns
of his terrible past. It seems Harry’s “black
op” mission was far more horrible than he can contemplate, his role was to
impregnate female test subjects as a part of a 'super soldier program' and when
the girls are no longer needed, he was to dispose of them. The problem is, the
conditioning he has received is still running...
This
is an intriguing short which not only offers a solid plot, combining conspiracy
theory with current events, but offers some great action. The acting is
reasonable for a low budget short and the cinematography creates a suspenseful
mood. The acts of violence are believably depicted and all in all this is an
impressive sci fi type short with some interesting political resonances.
