"Kitchen Sink" is a black-and-white horror short film from 1989, so this one will soon be 30 years old. The writer and director is Alison Maclean, a Canadian filmmaker still active in the industry today and she was 30 when she made this one here, one of her most known works still. The two male actors also still act. Oh well what can be said about these 13.5 minutes. It's atmospheric, but that's almost the only positive aspect. And you don't need to understand English to watch it as there is no dialogue in here. I thought it started off nicely, but the longer it went the more it began to drag. Maybe I could have given it a thumbs-up at half the runtime, but at over 10 minutes I think there were several uninteresting scenes and moments in here and it also takes away a whole lot of the scare factor. That's why, overall, I give it a thumbs-down. Not recommended unless you really really love horror films. I was neither scared nor entertained. The best thing about it? It reminds you to clean your sink.

A woman pulls an unspeakable fetus out of the bowels of her kitchen sink.In the tub of warm water the fetus starts to grow until he is the size of a full grown man.Suitably creepy and weird horror short.The monochromatic cinematography is stunning and the score by cult Kiwi band The Headless Chickens adds a lot to the atmosphere.The use of sounds is exceptional as the film is almost dialogue free.It's certainly a study of suburban loneliness and neurosis with the creepy feel of David Lynch's "Eraserhead".It won Best Short Film in the NZ Film & Television Awards and Audience Award at the Sydney film Festival in 1989 and is currently available on "Crush" DVD.

This is one creepy film. I watched this two years ago sitting in my 7th form English class. I never expected anything like I saw. Filmed in black and white this film tells the story of a woman who just cannot leave something alone and how curiosity really did kill the cat.Not a film for everyone but it will keep you on your seat squirming away. The lead actress is Theresa Healey, a well known actress in New Zealand and in this film she does a very adequate job of being a little too curious and obsessive and it's consequences if you cross the line in the name of perfectionism.A very surreal film, I'd give it a 7/10.A note: most of my English class was disgusted with it. ^_^

I loved this short film to pieces. When I saw it was called `The Hairy Fetus' so it took me forever to find anything on it. It was the kind of thing that I was just transfixed on the entire time. It moved along so well and got continually better and better as it went along. Then the end ending! I've never been so disgusted with a film I couldn't take my eyes off of. I wish short films like this were more readily available so people could have access to them. Its not something you can rent. I actually caught it by accident between films on The Sundance Channel years ago, but it really stuck with me all these years. If you can catch it anywhere have a looksie.
