So this is a very quick little horror short but it sure gets its tone across fast and builds up to its twist very well for just a few minutes. You can pick up that there's something a little extra 'off' about the scenario and maybe even where it's heading, as soon as the foul man eats the sandwiches containing the increasingly hazardous contents without reacting whatsoever, but it's still a really good buildup to the big ghoulish reveal! It felt to me like a black comedy just by how the demented husband hilariously screams out his orders for a never ending supply of sandwiches, I thought the actor was Richard Dreyfus, it tickled me to picture him playing a crazy bit part like that. It's a little on the grim and sad side at the end I thought, all the poor women wanted was to just have her peaceful little sewing room for herself. It was like she was stuck in an endless loop reliving her nightmare over and over again, he had that strong a hold over her that for her it still wasn't over even after he was long dead, she still heard him screaming in her head like an abusive tyrant, it's a pretty creepy concept. Very well made little short, one that proves you don't need a lot to make something eerie and effective. That's 8 killer sandwiches out of 10 for me! Worth checking out x.
