ada the leading man is my tpye
Diagonaldi Very well executed
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
desertcityfilmworks Paul Bunnell has concocted a wonderfully stylish and surreal movie. "That Little Monster" has tones of David Lynch, Tim Burton, Ed Wood, classic cinema, and the wonderful old Twilight Zones. This film echos the best of stunning Black and White photography. Ranging from the feel of the German Expressionist cinema to the mystery of "Eraserhead". Incredible lighting combines with fantastic framing and camera angles. It is a unique mix of styles, complete with the musical overture of bygone days. The masterful introduction sets the tone. And Bob Hope is a great addition. The world is familiar yet off, adding to the mystery. Absurd, hip, and fun. Paul Bunnell is a talent to watch.
Sally Sallee That Little Monster is a nifty little art film that seems to be a cross between David Lynch's Eraserhead and the original Twilight Zone TV series. The experimental black & white cinematography is the real star of the show along with a campy puppet co-star named "Wolper Willock," an intentionally bad-looking monster baby that spoofs its genre. Look for a cameo appearance by a now deceased legendary comedian over the end credits. The Director's Commentary track on the DVD was entertaining and also provides a better overall appreciation for what the filmmakers were seemingly trying to accomplish. Definitely worth a look for fans of dark-horror-comedy and lovers of independent film.
cdwellers2 If you are a lover of shows like The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, Night Gallery or Monsters, this film is for you! The opening homage to the 1931 film Frankenstein is truly a bit of ingenious parody.Mr.Bunnell certainly used the black and white medium not only to enhance the mood and flavor of the subject but to also remind the viewer of the tribute made to shows like the beloved Twilight Zone and Outer Limits series.Unusual use of camera angles and movement of the camera itself catches one off guard. Remarkable to note is the babysitter's first entrance into the nursery. This is one of the creepiest uses of the camera I have ever seen. The camera seems to become The Blob - so to speak- and take on a life of it's own! An amazing piece of work! Although a short film, it delivers more than enough mystery, suspense and thrill to satisfy any fan of the genre. Well written and contrived with a well balanced blend of horror, science fiction and black humor.Also as a bonus there is an amazing star cameo appearance by a now late but well remembered comedian.The reason I didn't give the film a full 10 is due to the use of an unnecessary and perhaps too long "overture" at the beginning. Overlooking this personal point the film is well worth the viewer's time.The bonus materials on the DVD are also very good. The Visitant is a brilliant short film shot in color. An un-nerving little piece about a father visiting his young son's grave. I jumped at least twice as the film ran it's course. Again a very well written and contrived piece of film story-telling at it's best.The Interview with the film's creator is light-hearted and full of camp!Hat's off to Mr Paul Bunnell, his cast and crew for a very worthwhile and entertaining DVD set.Jim Seaburg
sushimonster1967 Everybody is looking for a thrill. Most of us enjoy that time out we give for ourselves to indulge in some mystery and horror, admit it. Take the time to lay back, make a bowl of popcorn and get ready for a mysterious thrill you wont forget. "That Little Monster" is a must see. I have to say, I get bored with a lot of these run of the mill horror flicks they have today, they all seem to be familiar in some ways or another. But its incredibly refreshing to actually sit and watch a movie that keeps you always thinking and wondering, infact, could that be Tim Burton in my living room? Theres a mix of genius film making here, and the film itself well, it speaks for itself, its just that simple. Its that awesome surge of bizarre horror of "That Little Monster" that gives it such a thumbs up for me, get that movie, stun your friends, neighbors etc especially around Halloween, this is a definite plan for me. A+++++!!! WELL DONE!!!!!!!!!!!
