"Suspicious" is a 14-minute short film from over 20 years ago. Writer and director is David Koepp. The cast includes 2 somewhat famous names: Emmy nominee Janeane Garofalo and Michael Rooker from "The Walking Dead". The movie was kinda okay in terms of thrill and drama, but it was never really scary and I personally never cared a lot for the characters in here. Luckily it wasn't longer, otherwise my rating would have been even lower. Koepp certainly enjoyed a big breakthrough soon after this film, especially as a writer, but his talent is not too visible here. And as the title says, there is something suspicious about the film's IMDb page too. The rating is incredibly low, way too low, even if I did not like the film. But all the reviews are overwhelmingly positive in a way that only actors or crew could see the film. Looks like something fishy in both directions. I personally don't think this was a failure as the rating suggests, but it also wasn't a good watch. Not recommended.
