For me, a scene defines it - the return to home of the mime near the stone wall. the colors, the angry, the expectation of the answer to the churtlishness of the fat man. the second good moment - the woman front to the musical box. it is a precise story. like each good short film. proposing the perfect picture because it use the memories of its viewers as basic ingredient. and the inspired contrast between Gari Hart, reminding a sort of Pierrot and Monte LaMonte as classic jerk.

A most macabre mime crime!
Foreverisacastironmess1237 March 2019
A humble mime who I guess took his chosen art very seriously exacts a very nasty revenge on an obnoxious heckler! I've seen one or two mimes around doing the street thing in my time, I never found them especially frightening, just odd.. I'd have never dreamed of giving one a hard time in the middle of the act though, as it takes a lot of concentration and that mean fat guy should've at least respected that! Sure seemed a bit of a disproportionate revenge though.. The guy pelted the mime with fruit while he was trying to perform, so he gets butchered and turned into a freaking Jack-in-the-box? Well okay, the man did look a lot more cheerful afterwards! So this was clearly a low budget short but it was cute and well put together enough, they adequately set up and paid off the tiny plot for a mere three minutes and it ended with a nice satisfying little kick, what the murderous mime does to the jerk I've seen before in other horror shorts and more effectively, but I thought it was still kinda creepy because the model of the head had a weird look! Decent short, fun to watch as a warm up if you're planning a marathon of similar monster-themed short films, and it was nice to see the neglected mime used in a horror scenario rather than the too-often used clown - certainly worth a wee look!
