Synopsis

A guy dressed as a silent horror villain with monocle and top hat enters an auditorium, and it’s one of those speed-dating groups. He’s got a horribly deformed face, but otherwise seems gentle and soft spoken. The dating begins, and we see him sit at one table after another with vain, shallow, or just plain crazy women who are all repulsed by him.

Finally, he sits down with Sarah, a woman with a huge, disgusting, bleeding growth on her face. Will the two hit it off?

Commentary

This one is really good, maybe one of the best we’ve seen this year. The makeup and costuming are perfect, and the acting is excellent as well. The story… does not go where you expect, which is even better. Take four minutes and watch this one, it truly great!
