Sick and twisted...and I want more like this!

This is one of the animated shorts from THE ANIMATION SHOW: VOLUME 2. Most of the shorts in this DVD collection are rather poor because very few are funny and the emphasis is much more or art than entertainment in this second installment. For better films overall, see VOLUME 1.

Of all the shorts on this film, this is probably my second favorite (after Plympton's hilarious short). While the quality of the stop-motion animation was good, what I really liked about the short was its very sick and twisted sense of humor--something that was abundant in VOLUME 1 but sadly lacking on this DVD.

A guy is in an accident. When he wakes up, he's in a hospital that is appears to have been created by Dr. Frankenstein and the Marquis de Sade! As this poor bandaged guy walks around the hospital hallways trying not to be seen, he comes upon horrific experiments and evidence of even more diabolical and useless work by the hospital staff. So, not wanting to be the victim of their next experiment, he spends most of the film trying to escape. It's all very sick and dark, but also rather funny at the same time. You'd really have to see it to understand--but trust me, it is worth seeing.
