You know, when you go into a YouTube short and it starts actively comparing itself to Eraserhead, you know you’re in for a real puzzle box of a time.

And indeed, that’s what we’re in for here, when a clown doll decides it’s had entirely enough of being a cheerful adorable plaything and instead divorces itself from its head and uses the spike that held its head on as a murder weapon instead.  From here, the clown doll embarks on a journey that can only be described as “weird”.

That’s about all the plot I could recognize here, if you were hoping for character development or even for a rational description of the plot, well, you can forget it RIGHT NOW because any guy who’s actually TRYING to imitate Un Chien Andalou probably doesn’t give a wet fart in a stiff wind about things like “making sense” or “being entertaining”.  No, he’d clearly rather just shout at an empty room about things that don’t make sense, in a strictly metaphorical fashion.

Oh, and special note–when you’re filming in black and white in mostly dark environments, the result isn’t “creepy” or “weird” so much as it is “illegible”.  So congrats on making a movie that I mostly couldn’t see despite the fact that I sat through the whole thing.

The Screenhead Ten Scale gives this sad little tale a three out of ten, mostly for effort, because the end result just hit me all the wrong ways.
