Though not without faults, this short manages to be both cute and whimsical with elements of dark comedy while also including some quirky gore and a fun Halloween aesthetic throughout. Vintage Blood isn’t exactly scary per se, as it’s laid out more as a dark comedy than a straight-up horror, but the creepy elements are there they’re just overshadowed a bit by the hilariously smart dialogue delivered by the film’s interesting and charismatic characters.Ī bit lighter than what most of this list has to offer, Dead Hearts is an absolute delight. Mostly set in a small, retro boutique, the short is surprisingly quite funny throughout, yet something ominous lurks in the ether at all times - a tension you’re aware of until the final credits roll. Starring Indira Varma ( Game Of Thrones, Luther) in a charming lead role, Vintage Blood comes off as an English version of a Tales From The Crypt episode, which is immediately appealing in and of itself.
The small-print disclaimers are brilliant. But, over the course of the remaining 10 minutes, the commercial spirals into complete madness in the way Kubrick’s The Shining slow-burns its way into making you immensely uncomfortable and entirely disturbed.
What starts out as a harmless 30 seconds of footage focused on a grizzly bear doing nothing at all soon turns into a commercial for a nasal spray called Claridryl.
Not long after Too Many Cooks went viral, Adult Swim concluded their 2014 series of “infomercials” with Unedited Footage Of A Bear, a horrifyingly bizarre, 11-minute video that will certainly resonate with the viewer.
