Review of Black Hole

This short film is available for view on Rupert Sanders' website. The film covers the arrival of Keith, who comes out of a rainstorm to drop by a house where several mutated teenagers are getting stoned, watching The Wolf Man on TV and generating mindless menace. He finds his girlfriend, Chris, in the kitchen- she's nude, making a sandwich, and swishing her tail. There are some great psychosexual images straight out of the graphic novel (e.g. slit frog's belly; bodily defects). The film concludes with some nightmarishly-dreamy imagery also faithful to the creepy comic by Charles Burnes. Temp score is music from one of John Carpenter's 80's films. This tantalizing short film has some decent acting, nicely murky camera-work, and good makeup effects-it's an impressive little appetizer for now, as it's anyone's guess how long it'll be until the graphic novel BLACK HOLE by Charles Burns will be available.
