Monkey

About This Movie

So, 'Monkey' is this intriguing short film from 2014 directed by Richard Corso. You've got these two guys stuck in a bomb shelter, and honestly, it's a real head trip. The atmosphere is heavy and claustrophobic, with a creeping sense of dread that just lingers. The pacing feels deliberate, maybe a bit slow for some, but it really allows the tension to build. The performances are solid—there's a rawness to their desperation that pulls you in. Hallucinations start messing with their minds, and you can feel the psychological unraveling. The practical effects they use are subtle yet effective, creating a disorienting reality that’s hard to shake off. It's definitely a distinctive piece worth discussing in any collector's circle.
