There’s no doubt that the online dating game is one that’s constantly changing – from simple chatting to the dismissing of a person with the swipe of a finger, the opportunity to meet a potential significant other ranges from hopeful chance to regretful fright…allow me to introduce the regretful side of the spectrum.

Director Carlos Omar De Leon’s 5 minute short film, Killer Date takes a look at a first encounter between an online blogger and the new lady-friend he’s met by using a popular new app designed to bring two lonely hearts together. The initial introduction is awkward at best, but the two appear to hit it off with no issues, and when the raven-haired beauty invites her new fella back to her place for a little drink and some alone time, that’s when the fun begins…well, fun for those who might like a specific kind of fun.

Both performances from the two actors involved are genuine and pleasant to watch, but the short is mildly entertaining at best, and frankly this isn’t anything that hasn’t been seen before. I’ll give it up to De Leon for delivering an amusing little presentation that takes a dark-stare at the already cautious world of online dating, but this is one that could be swept away with that dismissive finger if need be.
