When I see the word “banned” attached to a short film on YouTube, my first reaction is generally one of shock segueing into one of outright scorn.  I mean, COME on…banned?  Banned from WHERE?  It just got on YouTube–it can’t be THAT graphic.  When it comes to edgy content YouTube has all the balls of a neutered Rottweiler.  As it turned out, where it’s “banned” from is probably best described as “anywhere where good films are shown”.

Basically, it’s the story of a couple young guys out to party and get chicks–standard guy fare–at least until the stuffed monkey shows up on their doorstep.  That’s when the murders start.

Just in case you’re wondering, no, you’re not seeing things at two minutes and thirty three seconds. That is an actual HUMAN HAND you see manipulating the monkey.  That’s how low-budget this is. They couldn’t afford a black glove to at least make it LOOK like a shadow instead of some guy’s hand.

And yes, this is easily one of the worst short films ever.  But I find myself oddly convinced that they MEANT for this to be godawful–so much so, in fact, that it comes back around to hilarious.  Because this is hilarious.  I spent so much time laughing at this…okay, I spent about six of the eight minutes this film ran laughing at it.  It’s a horror riot.

The Screenhead Ten Scale is holding its ribs tightly and, between gasps of laughter, hands over a six out of ten.  This movie sucks, but it’s hilarious, so the difference has been split.
