David Lynch is an acquired taste. Personally I am a big fan of the man and enjoy most of his films. This surreal short film(approx. 42 mins) is typical Lynch in that it is drenched in atmosphere but would probably leave you scratching your head and looking for answers. It features three characters in bunny costumes, living in a sitcom of sorts, with typical sitcom-ish settings(a living room) and even a live audience who provide a laugh track.
This is a haunting film, and I can easily imagine someone getting creep-ed out by it. There is a strange humming sound in the background and the visuals are dark yet surreal- kinda like a bad dream. The fact that bunny costumes are creepy in themselves add to the feel and tone. On the other hand the narrative is something you will have to figure on your own, but then that's the case for almost all of the director's work. One can speculate and bring their own meaning or analysis, but one can easily think of this as a gimmick that will leave the viewer frustrated also. The entire film is on youtube(which is where I saw it) and I would recommend giving it a chance if you are a fan of Lynch's work or enjoy surreal, creepy and atmospheric work.
