Storyline

Dr. Norbert Crest is a brilliant scientist undertaking controversial research to find a cure for mortality by experimenting on the recently deceased.  Working out of his cellar, his life is consumed by his work. All at once, his experiments spiral out of control, brought on by a major breakthrough in his research, the appearance of a beautiful assistant and the persistence of some local Mormons. Soon, the question becomes not whether Norbert survives the day, but which part of him?

The shovel somehow manages to get upstairs between the decapitation of Afro-Zombie and the finale without anyone taking it upstairs, and indeed with no reason for it to be there.

User Reviews

Great watch!

As a occasional fan of horror, I don't usually dig deep into the horror genre often, however talk of this short had been spreading through the film school. I felt compelled to see this urban myth for myself and I must say I rather enjoyed it! The production values are low, but like a lot of good horror this is excusable, the dialogue is quirky and well suited to the characters that speak them.

Overall the work is a an amalgom of passion and enthusiam that the Raynor takes pride in re-illustrating on screen for the audience to see. People should watch this piece of work and stop reading my dull review! Promising work from an up and coming Director. Look forward to seeing "Psychosis".
