The opening sequence is pure nightmare fuel followed by colorful credits and jarring sounds that instantly hooked me into watching this short-strange film.
I enjoyed it for what it was, a freaky fun ride through loosely connected characters who, for no explanation, manifest their biggest fears into literal monsters.
I'll spoil one scene that falls more into the satirical/hilarious aspect. A beautiful woman and a man who believes himself to be ugly, are having a conversation.
The man is convinced she's disgusted by him, despite her constant flirting and proclaiming the opposite...that he is indeed attractive.
He finally builds up the courage to try and kiss her, only to be rejected as she rudely gets up and leaves. Then In pure black comedy fashion she comes back.....to murder him.
His fear is Rejection
That's honestly my least favorite section, but still enjoyable.
The ending had me laughing myself to death when the "Allegoria" is explained (sort of..not really..who cares) between the two women in the apartment, which is without doubt my favorite section.
TLDR: This is sort of like an anthology, with misses and hits, and experimental storytelling involving extremely terrifying sequences (1st) humor (3rd) and both (Last)
Side note: The director is Rob Zombies younger brother.
