I watched the feature length 2017 movie first not aware that it was based upon this short created by the same folk.
It's essentially a single scene from what would later be a movie revolving around the odd relationship between a man and boy.
I considered the movie to be one of the worst films I'd seen in years and therefore going into the original short I had very low expectations.
Alike it's big brother this is unnerving, directionless and poor on so very many levels.
The Strange Ones makes a fantastic companion piece to the movie, a perfect recommendation to anyone you wish ill against.
The Good:
It was very short
The Bad:
Had no purpose
Unsettling
Things I Learnt From This Short:
Of all the shorts to be turned into a feature length movie THIS is the one that makes it!
