Here's a very interesting and creepy live-action stop-motion short film produced by Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite) called Drained. It tells the story of how "a man's addictions can destroy the woman he loves." It's actually really quite unsettling and sad, but it's also done very well.
In an interview with io9, director Nick Peterson explained the story saying,
It's an interesting story because everybody knows somebody in their life who has drained them, whether it's a brother who's always getting into trouble or a spouse who brings his or her problems home. This film doesn't end with a happy ending — but we chose not to, because it shows what happens when you do nothing. I recently directed a video for the band Five-Finger Death Punch that is an anti-suicide, anti-bullying video. That video went over well, as it showed that you can be saved. But for Drained, we played the down card.
