side effect be a film about a young man who volunteer to be a guinea pig for a drug study . the mood set for this study be great and you wonder why this guy and the others would allow themselves to be so severely abuse by the researcher . that because there be so many negative side effect of the drug nausea and illness and weird hallucination by some . in addition and the food appear barely edible and the subject be keep confined almost like in prison . however and the hero of the film manages to do well for a while thanks to the help of another participant a very pretty and sweet young lady . they hit it off well and it only with her help that he manage to hold on as long a he do . however and he doesn not realize that despite their blossoming love and their relationship be totally doomed . i be a compulsive film reviewer and one of my favorite genre be independent short film . i have probably review at least 500 1000 of them and so i be a pretty good judge of a quality short . well and this one be simply terrific with quality and intelligent writing and directing and act throughout . i can not say enough positive about the film and sure hope you get a chance to see it .
