Director Ross Williams’ twisted mind fuck, “Necrotic”, is equal parts suburban zombie massacre and schizophrenic head trip. As far as the small outcropping of cerebral WOD short films go, this one borders on insane. I suspect the filmmakers possess several loose screws but none as unconstrained as their analysis of life in the suburbs – which is, if anything, a treacherous, unstable hellhole amazingly savvy at transforming every resident into mindless, maniacal monsters.
Masturbation leads to murder in Director Pedro Santasmarinas’ slick, stylized take on technological perversity, “E-Mail”. When a slovenly creep ignores a cryptic email thread, he gets a visit from an unlikely computer “virus”. “E-mail” is perverse enough to debate the dangers of sexual fetish and fantasy, and audacious enough to use sexual aggression as a throughline. This clever revenge-themed ghost story with a compelling subtext critical of modern rape culture is fucking disturbing; efficient in its delivery, but smart enough not to blow its load too early.
