This was an interesting and very surreal short film. While it obviously had a very low budget and it suffers from student film type errors, it was a creative and enjoyable short film to watch. The concept was handled quite well and some of the effects were visually striking. I particularly liked the way the main character imagined his furniture attacking him, along with the stop motion look and digital distortion that took place during these scenes. While the recorded dialogue had poor sound quality, the use of sound effects to enhance the story was done very well.
This film won the Best Young Filmmaker award at the Appalachian Film festival in West Virginia one year. While judging it as a film by itself, there are many flaws related to the student film look and feel that it has, specifically due to the dull, grainy colors on the camera and the static heavy audio track. But while judging it as an early film from a young filmmaker, it shows much imagination and a good grasp on the medium that will hopefully go further for this director one day. There is more imagination in this short film than I've seen in some other low budget films by adult filmmakers. I hope to see more work from this director after watching this film.
