I really enjoyed this movie. It is really well done. The way they use the slide show and narration is ingenious. It starts out like a children's story and then goes into a horror film, and then ends as a romance. Also I enjoyed the dark humor, I find myself laughing each time I watch it. It also is cool that John Popper (Blues Traveler) is the narrator. I would recommend you see this movie. Just do a search for it, you won't regret it.

Told as if it were one of the filmstrips you watched in elementary school (you know, that one kid was always supposed to hit the button to change the picture but never would, and yet he always got chosen), this is the story of a sweet old man who doesn't follow one of the horror rules: never read out of the strange book in another language. His clown doll (who bleeds Pepto!)comes to life and tomfoolery immediately ensues. John Popper does some great narration as well.Whoever this Brown character is, he needs to do more stuff. 10/10.

It contains a surprise ending that may take away from the believability of the show, but I am told that all of the facts within it are true. This twenty minute short was able to do what the Puppet Master movies couldn't do with nineteen full feature films. The special effects of this movie are really extra good when you stop and consider how none of it has any motion. It is easy to watch to because it beeps when the slide is supposed to be changed, which is something what was quite useful to me. I will give it several stars (at this point I am undecided as to how many I will give)

Then the clown comes to life and starts killing people, what is THAT about? Despite the completely bizarre story, it was nevertheless an incredibly intriguing short film. The slide show style was something I'd never seen before and it really made for a different experience since there was really no MOVEMENT on screen, only stills. The dialogue-free narration was also interesting and made for a 'book-like' feeling to the movie, like a story being read to you. However, due to the graphic nature of the plot I would not recommend it for the faint of heart, only die hard indie fans.
