It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

I saw the trailer to this and was really intrigued as it looked like a full film but was just 16 mins.Well thanks to Mr Plunkett himself who send me a copy then I got to view it (twice) and here is a quick review.Robert (Conor Marren) awakes in a wood with a nasty gash to his head , shouting for help he stumbles along but finds no signs of life.He heads into what seems like an abandoned farm however a generator is still rumbling along but again no people seem to be around.Now Robert starts to get flashbacks of recent times with his girlfriend Jane (Emma Eliza Regan) where they are happy and she reveals to Robert he will be a father.So how did he end up with head injuries in a wood and where is Jane now? This is a beautifully shot film that in just 16 short minutes manages to run at a lovely slow burn pace yet ties everything up nicely and has a stunning finale.Much praise must go to Randal Plunkett for direction, editing, producing, writing and much more.Two final things I really enjoyed were the cinematography (Stefano Battarola) and the score which was great and went from relaxing strings to what could be Aphex Twin , and this was used really well throughout.I have been informed by Randal that he intends to do a full feature with Robert some 6 months later and in fact this is in pre-production.I love Indie Horror and this is well worth a watch and hopefully there will be much more to come from Dunsany Productions.A great short that leaves you wanting much more 8/10TheCorpseGrinder blog
