There honestly isn't much to review here. It's 8 minutes long and lacks almost all necessary components of a story. The entire time I was watching it, I wasn't confused so much as...uncomfortable. Not in the squeamish sense of being bothered by blood or the even in the sense of not liking the language or subject matter. It felt as though I was watching something that was never meant to be seen; like I had uncovered someone's darkest secret. It didn't do anything poorly, but it didn't do anything well either, except creep me out.
STORY: 5
It lacks a cohesive story. I interpreted it as his diagnosis either triggering flashbacks(such as his knee injury) or causing him to imagine an entire set of scenarios that don't correlate. None of the scenes connect.
ART: 5
It was actually a decent art style. A sort of waving, watercolor look that left faces distorted and horrifying. Almost everything was shades of grey, black or white except for a few splashes of muted color here and there. Very simple, yet disturbing.
SOUND: 5
The limited use of sound works in favor of this movie. It has no dialogue, no music and very few effects. The only "talking" consists of a horror villain faced nurse moving her mouth and wet sounds coming out. Sounds like a bull blowing out air underwater, or a toilet burbling back when its clogged. Other than that, there is audience laughter during the play scene but that's it.
CHARACTER: 5
There is literally no solid character development. Maybe the other scenes are about the nameless man in the doctor's office? Even if they are, all we know is that he has a spot on his brain x-ray and a knee injury. That's all the viewer is given.
ENJOYMENT: 3
I didn't enjoy this. At all. I was on edge the entire time and it wasn't something I would ever watch again. I'm fine with silent films, strange art and creepy vibes but the bottom line is that I didn't enjoy it.
OVERALL: 5
It wasn't the worst thing ever but I wouldn't call it good. It was a muted fever dream of possible dementia induced scenarios. I still don't know what was up with the headless obese man spinning and spraying blood(?) on the walls. And I can honestly say I'm okay with not knowing. You might enjoy it. Maybe. If you have absolutely nothing better to watch or want to waste 8 minutes, watch it.
