Man, I love Richard Stanley films. Both Dust Devil and Hardware are understated gems. I just don't get this one, however. Has it been too long in between films? I mean, granted this is a short film and its hard to fully convey a complex story in such a short runtime, but what the hell? What we get is a cosmonaut exploring an area in Mars. She enters a cave and finds a pool of water. Then this naked little tart who looks just like the cosmonaut steps out of the water, kisses her helmet and she has a little trippy flashback moment full of bizarre imagery. Then she turns into a skeleton and that's about it. Oh, I almost forgot to enter the humanoid frog cosmonaut that shows up at the end about to enter the same cave. The beginning states that this is episode VII (Where was part 1-6 to explain all of this?) and also that it will be continued. I sure hope so cause for now I can't give it too high a rating as its just a little too off centre yet to make any sense.
