Very eerie hearing the movie start and end with a Giants broadcast on the day that the they won the division title.

I found this to be a very well done, affecting movie. It starts with a wonderful tracking shot of J.T. Walsh in a recreation room in a mental hospital. A very striking film, that shows off the writing of Billy Bob Thorton. I highly recommend it.

This was the short that was done prior to getting funding and making a feature. Billy Bob Thorton plays the same character in both.

Though this short and the feature that evolved from it differ greatly I really enjoyed them both. The films dark tones and plodding nature really creeped me out, in a good way.

How is this related to the Billy Bob Thornton movie of similar name?

I kept wondering what was going to happen and then the movie was over. Creepy.

A thoroughly creepy short film that will make the little hairs on your forearm quiver. Left me wanting more.
