MAJOR slippage

[Foreverisacastironmess123 · 8/10 · 18 May 2013]

I like the whole neat little gruesome concept of this short. It's very brief time span all revolves around one gag, but it's quite the marvellous little gag if you're a fan of the gory horror! It's real tense and dives into the darkly humorous build-up to the splatterific finale right from the get go. The acting was okay enough, the bitter antics of the husband and wife were fun to listen to, but I was mainly in it for the promise of schlocky blood and guts. The violence, which only truly happens in the final seconds, is a very funny kind of violence. There's a nice easy sense of the absurd to both the people and their bodily injuries. I'm not normally the squeamish sort, especially when it comes to things on TV, but I did once become physically nauseas at the spectacle of a face-lift performed on a woman on an episode of some series that was all about plastic surgery. It was just so bizarre and disgusting and somehow freaking wrong! I think in a strange way it could be a good thing if this short ever seriously disturbs or upsets anyone, which I doubt, as most shorts aren't ever that well known. They should be grossed out, if people actually saw beforehand just what a face-lift entails, I bet a lot less would go through with it! The best thing about this short is definitely its nerve-rattling build-up to its climax. The tension deliciously grows as various things snag on something there, and other things hang ever-so precariously above there-it's played for all it's worth and the domino effect is very well timed and played out. I'll try not to spoil it, but I will say that it combines the classic hilarity of a banana slip with painful and slightly disturbing bloody body horror mayhem. I thought this was a great little show, it's either supremely funny or supremely horrifying-for me it was more chucklesome than anything else. Look it up and it just might have you in(or out) stitches!!!

Wow. This little short film at 4mins packs a wallop! Basically it caught me off guard! And what I mean by that is that I have a tendency to never want to know what type of film I'm gonna watch or who's in it type of thing and what's it about. Makes for more interesting viewing impact for me. This one just shocked me from left field! Nice! (Ha-Ha) Good thing I didn't eat before this!

'Sarah' ,played by Delphine Roussel, has just had a face lift done and boy oh boy does she have a bad day concerning the sutures! Her husband played by Robert Calwell does not help any because he is arguing with her behind her locked bedroom door and in a way causes her not to pay attention and be way more careful in what she is doing.And man do things get bad! (Excellent FX effects)

All in all Director Chris Nash got me good! Nice job Mr. Nash! I would definitely like to watch a full-feature scary film by this gentlemen! Highly recommended especially for Horror fans!
