Short Film: OK Monster


A 9-minute offering this time, OK Monster is a short film directed by Jamie DeWolf and as it starts it is clearly a pair of interviews with two separate people – Harold (Hugo Nono) and Bianca (Yael Wallace) – who are recounting their experiences with dating sites. Neither have had much luck, and they’ve both tried plenty.

The issue, they both eventually confess in their individual conversations, is that they both ended up killing their dates – or sometimes other people – whilst on a date. Then, as they talk further Harold admits he is a werewolf (though awkwardly he doesn’t turn as much as you’d think – with just a bit of a tail and some nail growth, he looks for the world like a homicidal drunk), and Bianca reveals that she is a vampire.

Then, luckily, they both discovered the dating site OK Monster, Harold recounts dating a blob, a date where he appreciated the non-binary nature of his date -unfortunately they had to move away. Bianca was perhaps not as lucky with her date from one of those Black Lagoon types. Eventually they went on a date together and… well watch the short and let them explain.
