Welcome to Saturday Short Horror Cinema featuring SELF ASSEMBLY Written By Garret Shanley, and Directed by Ray Sullivan. This Little Slice of Surreal Insanity reminds Me of the David Lynch movie 1997 Cult Classic Eraserhead in Several Ways. Most Notably are the Fact that its Shot in Black and White giving the Film a Cold Stark Feel, and the Fact it Doesn’t need a Word of Dialog to be Creepy as Fuck.
Noteworthy Mention: The car that killed the son in the beginning is the same car that comes to retrieve the monster from the parents house.
Plot: In a Self-Assembly cabinet They Ordered Online Grieving Parents find a Truly Monstrous Substitute for their Deceased Son.
SelfAssembly Credits:
Produced & Directed by Ray Sullivan
Written by Garret Shanley
Based on the comic story by Garret Shanley & Cathal Duggan
A Monolith Pictures [IE] Production
Cast – Darryl Kinsella, Amy Kirwan and Ruben Kenny
Welcome to Today’s FYB Post Belial’s Dream (2017) Directed By Robert Morgan who also Wrote the Screen Play. Belial’s Dream was Originally a Short Film Commissioned for Arrow Films’ Blu Ray Release of Frank Henenlotter’s Movie Basket Case.
For Those Who May be Unaware Basket Case is the 1982 Cult Slasher Horror Classic Directed by Frank Henenlotter and Produced by Edgar Levins. To Sum Up Basket Case in a Nutshell Duane and His Extremely Deformed and Psychotic Conjoined Twin Be are Surgically Separated as Kids. Duane carries Belial around NYC in a Locked Wicker Picnic Basket as the Twins seek Revenge on the Doctor’s that Separated Them. I HIGHLY Recommend You definitely should check out the movie Basket Case as it is in at Least My Humble Opinion a True Horror Classic.
So When I heard of this Video I was instantly interested because I love Fan Fiction Projects. It’s Insanely Entertaining seeing People’s Interpretations come to Life and become an Extenuation of the Movie Itself. Thusly when I saw the Title of the Video the first thing I thought to myself was that’s a Kickass Concept, and I wonder what a Creature as Demented and Deadly as Belial actually Dreams About? Could Belial dreaming of Rainbows and Bunny Rabbits during His Psychotic Slumber? Yeah I don’t fucking Think So.

Welcome to this Week’s Installment of Short Horror Film Friday Featuring THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BOX Directed by Caleb J. Phillips, and Cowritten by Caleb J. Phillips and Nick Tag.
Giving the Finger to the Trends, Caleb Phillips, OTHER SIDE OF THE BOX is Anything but Predictable. The Film is Rare Example of Suspense where You have Literally No Clue where it’s going. It’s Chock Full of Misdirection and Surprises that all Work Together to Defy the Viewers Expectations. Now where most Horror Films take Meticulous Care to NOT REVEAL the “Creature” until the Very End (Example: The Final Cliche Modern Day Jump Scare Bullshit), but Phillips Basically Does the Exact Opposite with OTHER SIDE OF THE BOX. In Debatably the Film’s Creepiest Scene, the Audience gets to see the “Creature” Unexpectedly in the Middle of the Story. It’s a Perfectly Executed Scene that is both Uncanny and Unnerving to Watch. Thus the Film Focuses on a Different Eerie idea: Knowing You’re being Watched, Self Preservation/Personal Safety, and All the While You are Unable to Look Away.
About OTHER SIDE OF THE BOX in The Director’s Own Words:
“I was so taken with this idea of terror coming from something as simple as being stared at, and the imagery of the head in the box deeply unsettled me. I’m a huge fan of cosmic horror and I wanted to make a film that felt more like an investigation instead of running from a monster.” The film, overall, succeeds in its mission. It’s fun to discover the “rules”of the scenario in real-time with the protagonists and this structural drive allows the film to find new things to present to the audience along the way. Many genre shorts run out of steam once they reveal their central high-concept trick. Box, rather, keeps building complexity and tension, getting better as it goes. Other Side of the Box won the Grand Jury Award for best midnight Short at SXSW in 2019, and as that accolade from that particular category would suggest, the film definitely skews strange. But, it’s also not inaccessible or abstract. That’s an important distinction. It’s a film that makes up its logic, but in doing so, never loses the audience. The mythology and character choices all feel like they make sense in the moment. And, of course, by relying on traditional genre thrills and suspense, it feels inherently watchable, never getting tripped up by its own inherent strangeness. It’s both bizarre and creepy in equal measure. Endings (especially in shorts) are hard. This one is a bit tough to decipher, but structurally, it feels like the film builds to a place of satisfying climax. And, thankfully, I never feel like Box resorts to easy tricks of the genre. It’s the kind of film with such a unique hook and central image that it’s bound to stick in the back of your mind for some time to come.” -Caleb J. Phillips-
Enjoy.
Hope You Enjoyed OTHER SIDE OF THE BOX and Remember it the Next Time You see the UPS Man walking Your Way.
