Created and Executed by Biff Juggernaut.

A geeky man (Elias) rides the subway alone and is plagued by a disturbing voice. He’s not quick on the uptake apparently, having put up with it for years, it takes him a while to realise the voice is inside his head and it is his own mind that is taunting him. It is sick of repression and desperate to be free. Elias tries to run, to suppress it with drugs but eventually must resort to much more extreme measures to drive it out of his head. Soon he will do his best possessed Bruce Campbell impersonation and use a wall, the metal rings from a cooker and a hammer to punish himself in a battle where only one personality can win.

The sound is atrocious at times. It sounds like it was mixed in a bathroom stall. But its rough edges help to properly convey a sense of complete uncontrolled mania that will either force you to reach for the remote to adjust it in places or enable you to revel in the experienced of a forced possession and annoy the hell out of your neighbours. If the vomiting doesn’t do it, the screaming will. The Industrial music is simply the best emotional compliment to the visual stimulus. What better to accompany a hammer handle insertion?

This film gleefully revels in the extreme. Fans of deviant cinema will love its orgiastic lack of an obvious moral limit. The effects are convincing, partly down to the use of grainy black and white film and contrasty lighting to disguise the colours/flesh tones which may not be so convincing in real life. The blocking of shots is dramatic and cartoony. Biff has definitely studied the finest Sam Raimi has to offer. I highly recommend this short film. A cracking way to spend 11 minutes!

Can’t wait to see what else this maniac can come up with…. and seeing as he is working on producing a H.P. Lovecraft inspired feature film, I am already drooling at the prospect!
