As someone who contributes far too much to the IMDb this short film should be just right up my street . Plot device ? That'll be something or someone that miraculously turns up to either push the story forward or save the day . Off the top of my head I can name numerous plot devices that are constantly used in DOCTOR WHO such as the Tardis , the sonic screwdriver , UNIT , psychic paper etc etc . That's in just one show and become so overused they actually icons rather than plot devices . With this short film it does exactly what it says on the tin , a wannabee screenwriter purchases a plot device and then finds himself in a series of genre films . The end . It's a nice homage to the different style of films that exist but doesn't really go beyond that . It's not helped by the fact that I still vaguely remember a short film from a while back called HELL NO that was exceedingly witty and deconstructs the entire genre of horror . On its own PLOT DEVICE is a nice little short by Seth Worley but doesn't really expand on its potential
