Roar is an intriguing short film that offers viewers a very grounded take on superhero genre. The filmmakers approach it from a different, unique angle. It's a supernatural drama that is about people with super powers. The thing is, they spend their entire lives struggling to control them. The short was written and directed by Stuart Langfield and Dylan Rekert, and here's the synopsis:

"ROAR is a supernatural drama about generational bonds and disconnects. It is a grounded take on the superhero genre, told through real themes and experiences. It explores the commitments of a family divided by age and pride, who are brought together to fulfill a promise made many years ago. Roar is a film about people with extraordinary powers. Powers they spend their lives battling to control and which ultimately consume them."

I really liked the atmosphere of film, and the compelling story it told. It may not have any action in it, but it's a well-made film that's worth watching. Take the time to check it out when you get a chance.
