And mom has no mouth, but would probably like very much to scream.
I guess I've got to boost this word count somehow, so I'll say that I found this to be more effective than Skinamarink. The condensed runtime didn't lessen the impact in the slightest. The two stories, such as they are, are extremely similar in nature, but the horror of this spins more around the axis of neglect, while the horror of Skinamarink is a much more active sort.
As an entirely personal aside, I think it's wise for adults who are still dealing with fallout from childhood abuse, to be aware that both films can produce some extremely unpleasant reactions. It's like child abuse horror, which I suppose is the last remaining taboo. I'm not sure that line needs to be crossed, but perhaps there really is nothing left with which to terrify people in any meaningful way.
Speaking as a big fan of Deathbird Stories, I think Harlan would appreciate this little tribute. He certainly appreciated the horrific.
