Make that seven men...

Disturbing. That's the strongest word that comes to mind after experiencing this short. The distressing sound of the constant siren combined with those six faces that seem to be taken off petrified corpses, and the imagery of their organs and pain and blood, and then it's all repeated multiple times. I did think about turning it off half-way through the third repetition, but curiosity to see if the repetition changed anything got the better of me. Curiosity is why I even bothered to watch in the first place, after all. Knowing how short it was also helped, although by the end you could swear it was much longer.

David Lynch is really good at what he does, which is invoking reactions and applying whatever unique images he can conjure up in his mind onto film. The only question is, do you want to experience what he succeeds at creating? It's interesting to check it out at least once, especially if you're a fan of his other work... or you can just show this to someone you want to freak out.

To sum up the film, I think this short is more like an art piece or animation that represent the pain, fear, and distress of being sick. If you forget what it feels like to be sick, this may remind you well enough.
