Aaron1375 I just happened to see this as I was looking through the horror shorts here at IMDb. I thought I would would give it a look see and I have to say I had mixed reactions to this film. It was interesting and I had no idea where it was going after the tub scene. It also was a bit to strange and the ending had me wondering what just happened. There really is no satisfying conclusion, but a film this vague usually is going to end, well vaguely. The story focuses on a woman who starts pulling what appears to be a hair from the sink in her kitchen. Well it turns out that at the end of this hair is a strange thing that she immediately throws in the garbage. She then for some reason puts it in the bathtub and turns on the water. Why, I can not say. The thing grows and then the movie just becomes one big question mark. I kept expecting her to get attacked by the thing when it was in the bath thus being the conclusion one might expect from a horror short like this and for anybody who has read that Stephen King short about the finger in the drain. That does not happen as the film gets stranger. People say it is about loneliness, but the main problem with that is that there is nothing to indicate this woman is indeed lonely until she has that scene in the bed. Like I said, weird and strange. Kept me interested and guessing and the music is haunting and nicely understated, but I do not know the conclusion and parts of the film needed more work or back story.

Polaris_DiB Kitchen Sink as domestic space--obvious, but true. A woman finds a strand of hair in her sink and pulls out a baby who turns into her partner, and the cycle of life continues from there. The black and white photography and the title had me expecting kitchen sink realism, and I wasn't too off on those initial assumptions if you mix it with a Twilight Zone episode and slight J-horror flavor. The woman is at her best when advancing, the horror always happens when the man advances. A low-dialog film, the story is told pretty expertly with images and the pacing is quite acute, which helps keep this short apart from similar ilk. They also cast this movie well as that is one strange, alien looking dude they got to spawn from dirty bath sludge.--PolarisDiB

Jayden Caine 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. ^_^

saronastirling I study Kitchen Sink in my Media Studies class and only now I've actually come to appreciate the techniques Alison has used, me and...well...most of my class (there are a few who just don't care or pay attention) The lighting for one was very cleverly used.There is the scene when the woman is thinking about the monster she just chucked in her bin. The light on one side of her face in the close-up scene was very cleverly done. One half of her face is in light, showing she could actually just leave the monster in her bin and forget, the other is shadowed in dark. Kind of foreshadowing her reversal decision where she actually takes the monster out of the bin. The dark side shows her desire and the path that could lead to the monster becoming alive. The soundtrack too, is eerie and mysterious, like the monster who is eerie and mysterious, watching the movie with my class is possibly the only time they're all silent as the grave really. You can hear a pin drop apparently, it's quite lovely because usually they're just chatting like the teenage girls they are. The woman changes from victim to aggressor during this film too. Alison has completely changed the way things, especially horror movies, were done in that time. The woman is usually the victim, and so she is in the beginning when she is frightened by this monster that she pulled out from her sink, but then after she makes the decision to chuck the monster in the bath, she turns into the aggressor when she shaves the man and designs how she would like him to look, she is in control of the situation and that's quite a change.
