This felt like one of those sweet-hearted Twilight Zones, where you don't feel dread or fright, more like a surprise party is going to happen any minute in a room where it seems like a murder happened, or the old man finds his key at the last second before the monster gets him. It had fallen right into the bowl of the stone angel his son had given him as a lucky charm!
The style is a bit Tarantino--I thought, "This must have totally influenced Pulp Fiction!" But then this page said the short film was from 1997. I thought, "That cannot be. That cannot be." I thought Fred Savage was a young adult in the 80s!
Then I found all the facts I needed. It has an '80s feel, or a '90s Nickelodeon feel to it, but... gritty Nickelodeon. So sit back, get out your Gak, and enter the obscurity!
