Featured review
Disturbing
I saw this last month at the Palm Springs International Festival of Short Films. This is a story of a young girl named Samantha (Kendall Ganey) who is chalk drawing images of a fierce monster she has named Mr. Bubbs on the sidewalk in front of her suburban home. A stranger (Alan Lilly) approaches her to come with him in his car and she reluctantly agrees if only Mr. Bubbs can come along. Making a dark comedy/horror spoof out of a disturbing subject like child abduction is in itself disturbing and the comedic payoff falls flat. Todd Thompson directs and wrote the screenplay based on a story by Peter Raymundo. Raymundo is a film animator who worked on such notable films as Beauty & The Beast, Tarzan, Mulan and Lilo & Stitch but there is no animation in this film. Faye Novick rounds out the small cast as Samantha's mother. I would give this a 5.5 out of 10.
