    A Misteruious Night Mare,,,,,

    It's a night mare.... The image is very special. The big pipe's idea is very funny. The beach's image is very nice. A little man changed to merman who add sense of art. The ending is a night mare... But it's a fresh and poetic. Jason Acufia who the little man produce a queer atmosphere. He succeed about the shocking impression gave to us.And also his play was excellent.....Jacqui Maxwell who the beautiful girl produce mysterious roll. Josh Harnett played a dark roll who connected for "Sin City " and " Black Dahlia" trigger from this roll. . A director has original sense. I think this is a praise. We want to see more his film. I hope the director can shoot more films.

    Hotel Corridor Weirdness

    A haunting violin track plays as the camera pans over a faded green-carpeted hotel corridor. We stop at a door with a crooked 9. A key turns in the lock and we see a little man enter... and his fishbowl.

    The first few seconds have all the makings of a horror flick/classic murder mystery. The film does have the potential to develop into one of these. But alas, the movie lives up to its category. Incredibly short, and thus incomplete.

    If you wanted to watch this film because you are a Hartnett fan, you might be rather disappointed. If your motivation is sheer curiosity and an interest in weird imagery you often see in REM sleep, you've hit jackpot.

    I wonder what direction the director went with this short...
