“This is what Chicken McNuggets look like before they’re breaded.” – Q
Synopsis
Blake, a girl walks home; her roommate’s having a party at home. She arrives home to find the party going on downstairs and her roommate, whose name is Q, upstairs standing over a dead body without an explanation. They both freak out for a bit.
The blood may have dripped through the floor into Kevin’s apartment downstairs, and Blake decides to go downstairs and see how much evidence ran through the floor. Before she makes it halfway there, Kevin slips some kind of drug into her mouth and she swallows it by accident. Kevin, who lives in the apartment below them, thinks they spilled some paint. The party has expanded into his place, and their friends are dancing in the dripping blood, completely unaware of what it is.
It only gets weirder from there…
Commentary
It’s well shot and acted, the editing is very entertaining, and it’s pretty funny throughout. The gore shots are really realistic and get the appropriate reaction from the actors. A lot of the humor comes from the interesting editing, where one someone says something and then we cut to exactly the opposite thing happening. These two girls are not having a good weekend.
It’s pretty long for a short film, and the quality is good enough that I’m surprised this wasn’t included in one of the many anthology TV shows out there. It’s certainly professionally done, and it would feel right at home in Creepshow or one of the similar episodic horror shows.
