A real gut punch of a short, the film combines the urban dread of David Lynch with the cold formalism of Kubrick to create a piece of work that speaks of the dead heart at the centre of much of modern society. A relentless exercise in creating tension out of seemingly nothing, the conclusion is both shocking yet grimly believable.
