One of the great older sibling tricks is to tell younger brothers or sisters that it’s just as much fun to watch someone else—your older brother or sister, say—play Nintendo as it is to play yourself. After all, you’re on the same team! That’s a philosophy Dutch director-slash-palindrome Tim Smit seems to have taken to heart, judging from the teaser trailer for his upcoming film Kill Switch. Although there are traditional shots of star Dan Stevens, a lot of the trailer is in a first-person shaky-cam that will be all too familiar to anyone who’s played a first-person shooter in the last 20 years. Or, more accurately, anyone who’s been “on the same team” as their first-person shooter–playing, video game console–hogging older sibling.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with using first-person or stealing aesthetics from video games, but there aren’t that many great examples of either. (Orson Welles’ proposed first-person film of Heart of Darkness might have qualified, if RKO had let him make it.) For the most part, though, this approach makes for dull filmmaking. Check out the first-person section of Andrzej Bartkowiak’s 2005 film Doom or, more recently, Ilya Naishuller’s 2015 film Hardcore Henry for exhausting examples of just how dull this can get. Will Tim Smit avoid the pitfalls lining the path of first-person video game movies, perhaps by jumping over them while shooting his enemies with a laser gun? We’ll find out on June 16, but in the meantime, Smit’s 2009 first-person short What’s in the Box? might provide some clues; Kill Switch is a feature-length expansion. Take a look, but don’t try to grab the controller—remember, we’re on the same team!
