This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

A woman pulls an unspeakable fetus out of the bowels of her kitchen sink.In the tub of warm water the fetus starts to grow until he is the size of a full grown man.Suitably creepy and weird horror short.The monochromatic cinematography is stunning and the score by cult Kiwi band The Headless Chickens adds a lot to the atmosphere.The use of sounds is exceptional as the film is almost dialogue free.It's certainly a study of suburban loneliness and neurosis with the creepy feel of David Lynch's "Eraserhead".It won Best Short Film in the NZ Film & Television Awards and Audience Award at the Sydney film Festival in 1989 and is currently available on "Crush" DVD.

This is one creepy film. I watched this two years ago sitting in my 7th form English class. I never expected anything like I saw. Filmed in black and white this film tells the story of a woman who just cannot leave something alone and how curiosity really did kill the cat.Not a film for everyone but it will keep you on your seat squirming away. The lead actress is Theresa Healey, a well known actress in New Zealand and in this film she does a very adequate job of being a little too curious and obsessive and it's consequences if you cross the line in the name of perfectionism.A very surreal film, I'd give it a 7/10.A note: most of my English class was disgusted with it. ^_^

I saw this film today as part of my enrichment at college and I have to say, I'm impressed. I get so tired of the stereotypical Gothics which always give a helpless woman the role of the victim. There should be more films like this; where the woman is in control of her fantasy/situation and the threat is a supposedly sexy, gorilla-like man (who needs a good shaving)! I think that it should, perhaps, have been made longer (only lasts around 15 minutes)... I'm THAT curious as to what happens AFTER the end. The fact that the film is shot in black and white just adds to its mystery. It's rather surprising that this film was made the year I was born!

Kitchen sink, in spite of its name, actually doesn't have a lot in the film as far as props, set, or characters (I'm referring to the saying throwing in everything but the kitchen sink). Nevertheless, it is a creepy, atmospheric film which kept me on the edge of my seat. How many horror films today can you genuinely say have done that effectively? The premise is strange but original. The black and white shooting style which normally seems amateur works perfect in this atmosphere. It feels so cramped and tight that you feel claustrophobic too. When the fetus is taken out you're disgusted and curious. You also feel the man's pain when it grows in the water and she shaves it down.It does become a little weird and so maybe I missed some of the larger message as far as when she kisses him despite his seeming deadness. But I love the way this film ends on the note it starts with although I am not positive what exactly the ending image means or will even produce (another fetus?). Definitely disturbing and yet no violence. Worth a watch if you're in the mood for some weirdness and to be freaked out.9/10
