From 2016 and directed by Brian Patrick Butler this is an 8-minute short film that takes some inspiration from the expressionist films of yore and we see this as it opens in the stylised intertitles and the establishing picture of a building in the expressionist style. The fact that the film lists out “the players” at the head also makes us think of a earlier age of cinema.
A dinner party has been organised for four strangers – though the (bug eating) chef Bryce (Brian Patrick Butler) has fouled up the dinner and they have brought chicken takeout. The guests are there for different reasons one (Morgan K. Reynolds) thinks it is a casting call, another (Dakota Ringer) is there to buy weed and another (Raye Richards) to buy sold out concert tickets. The fourth (Connor Sullivan) is carrying a wooden stake…

Just as well as their host, Nikolai (Luke Anthony Pensabene), happens to grow a pair of front placed fangs and does not get on with wooden crosses. Who will prevail? Only watching the short will answer that question but it is an amusing effort and the expressionist aspect works really rather nicely – it is all situation, however, with little plot and narrative. Perhaps a tad more style than substance. However sometimes that’s all you need.
