Shaun Hughes' film is bleak. Not just David O'Connor's black and white camera, David McKeitch's visceral sound, but tone, direction. No less powerful for it, indeed potentially more harrowing for that level of artistic abstraction. We are given the luxury of looking away, but not everyone has that.
This is a struggle. Conor's specifically, a role of no small intensity by Conor McCarron. He's been a delight to watch in a variety of roles over the years, though he's nigh unrecognisable here. The same seam is struck that helped him carry For Those In Peril and others but beneath beard and bruise it shines differently. There are near enough no others, Chouffe Paws as the eponymous canine, Gsff prize-winning director James Price as "violent man". Price has directed McCarron on a few occasions, but the snarls and whimpers here surround implications of violence created in the edit. There's another role but.

Welcome to the fifth edition of our regular monthly feature here on Nerdly – Back This! – where we take a look at some of the cool content taking the crowdfunding route on sites such as Indiegogo, Sponsume and Kickstarter. This month we’re spotlighting the Indiegogo campaign for Ink, a new horror short from director Andy Stewart (whose last short, Split, is reviewed here) and the Kickstarter campaign for the video game Treachery in Beatdown City.
Ink
The third and final installment of Andy Stewart’s body horror trilogy (following Dysmorphia and Split), Ink is the story of a nameless man who takes the path of least resistance (and cost) in an attempt to turn his body into a work of art. From the campaign page:
A gory examination of a fractured mind, Ink promises to further demonstrate that Andy and Shining Example Films are a team worth keeping an eye on.
