Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "The Contraption" is a British 8-minute short film written and directed by James Dearden. It was his very first work as a filmmaker and he was still in his 20s here. His most notable effort later on was the Academy Award nominated script from "Fatal Attraction". "The Contraption" is probably a horror movie. It is fairly atmospheric, but I cannot say I found it really scary. The eerie music just isn't enough. Certainly the machine and physics are more in the center of the film than the man who builds the contraption. The biggest award that this film won was actually from my hometown#s film festival. Yet I cannot really agree with them on this one. The ending somehow elevates the material, but I still cannot recommend it. Didn't think this was a particularly interesting watch. Not recommended.

Sean McHenry I saw this long forgotten gem on the old late night cable show Night Flight, on US television back in the late 1970s. It played once or twice and that was the only place I ever saw it.Without spoiling it all I can say is it is well done. A gentleman retires to his basement workshop and continues on a project building an unknown object. His wife continually berates the man, unseen but heard from the top of the stairs all the while. In the end, he finds his escape in "The Contraption".Richard O'Brien was a hot commodity then as the Rocky Horror Picture Show was at perhaps it's peak here in the Midwest. Tim Curry went on to do a few albums and several more mainstream films like Clue here in the US. I owned a copy of his album Read My Lips. Susan Sarandon became quite big and Barry Bostwick made a name again with Spin City years later.If anyone out there knows where I can beg, borrow, buy or otherwise find a copy of this short, please e-mail me. McHenryProj@Yahoo.com should get to me.

HyperPup ***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** I don't know much about who, what or why this was produced but it was cool. A small bit of drama, short (I think 15 minutes) and concise. Richard O'Brien whiles away his time at bulding a rather complex device, cutting and planing wood, drilling, bending metal pipes and such, and all for what? Well, I believe this little gem is lost in the annals of videoland, so it will probably never air again so I'll tell ya. He completes the device and we see a large and menacing mousetrap, just the right size for...him. And with that he lays himself down on the trigger and snaps his neck in the trap. Cold, chilling, and quick. I believe this was part of a group of shorts, but I cannot remember as it aired on HBO and a few other cable channels before it became completely lost to time.

Rick Stump (otherRic) This almost wordless short is visually gripping. It is, effectively, a 5 minute one-man play that will leave you stunned.
