This short was a total surprise that checked off all the right boxes and provided all the nostalgic feels from the horror movies I've loved since I was a kid. I was overtaken by not only the visuals and practical effects, but the incredible attention to detail and a trove of Easter eggs throughout. It's an excellent adaptation with Larry Fessenden front and center being the gem of a character actor that he is. Shorts are a special art form all within itself with the horror genre and this one nails it deserving high praise and repeat viewings.
I was lucky enough to be apart of the Stephen King Rules Dollar Baby Film Festival and I was able to see this film and omg.... this was insane! One of the best dollar baby films I've seen. Amazing job to everyone involved!
Gray Matter
Based on the story by Stephen King, This adaptation is one of the best short stories I've ever watched. And i'm not just saying that! The film has so much depth and atmosphere with beautiful landscape shots its total eye candy. Acting was very good as well, i felt the three main characters brought a lot of high tension to the story. Not to mention the monsters special effects was truly brilliant. This adaptation of Grey Matter makes Shutter's Creepshow Season 1 episode look & feel mediocre. There's lots of easter eggs in this short story as well which i thought was very a nice touch.

Really well made short. Based on Stephen Kings short story, this is a great adaption.
Terrific production value. Larry Fessenden is always welcome in any film does a great job.
Overall amazing job.
Red Clark's take on Stephen King's eerie short tale is an effective old school, practical effects driven monster romp. It feels like a love letter to nutso horror films from the 80's, but never falls into kitschy "retro vibe" territory. It's very reminiscent of Stuart Gordon's early work with gooey gore and a fantastic, intense score. It's campy but takes itself and the craft seriously. Highly recommend for anyone with a taste for gooey gore or atmospheric style. Seek it out genre fans.
