WORLD OF DEATH Ep. 31 – Monkey / Milk

Episode 31 is guerrilla filmmaking at its most exploratory. If you possess a predilection for primate perversion, you’ll go ape-shit for Director Corey Nikolaus’ “Monkey”. This warm-blooded, whacked-out short finds a serial killer under the guise of a psychotic simian on the prowl for females that prefer the ubiquitous edible fruit. Although “Monkey” suffers from a real minimalist approach to sound design, it does own one of the creepier single shots in the entire collection (as evidenced by its inclusion in the WOD trailer), a creepy-as-fuck lead, an inspired score, some eerie lighting choices, and a totally bizarre narrative – this movie is fucking bananas.

This is not for the lactose intolerant. Proudly wearing a less-then-subtle Suspiria influence on their sleeve, Directors James Chappell and Patrick Irving, give acclaimed horror icon Dario Argento a David Lynch infusion in their surreal opiate of a short film, “Milk”. When a wheelchair-bound man loses his own grip on reality, his consciousness is broken down into an utterly abstract series of metaphors, tropes, and symbols. It’s a true mind-fuck heavy on symbolism and psychology. The true meaning of this hypnotic piece of psychological warfare is as difficult to discover as it is to analyze, and this is what makes this effort so intriguing. Fully Pasteurized, protein-heavy paranoia at its finest.
