This short film is currently featured on IMDb and I have no idea how much further this will be. See it soon, as this beta program to see online content is something that may or may not last.

Timmy is a kid whose mother can't stand him and he's picked on by other kids because he seems to be mentally retarded. Seeing the bullies knock him around and his mother treat him like a leper isn't much fun--though it's easy to get hooked. After all, you KNOW something creepy is going to happen and assume the jerks will get their by the end of the short film. Well, let me tell you now that this does NOT happen--the jerks get off pretty much unscathed and the ending comes as a sadistic surprise. This isn't necessarily a bad thing as the film doesn't take the easy way out by providing a sick twist. However, many will be very disappointed in the direction it takes. Reasonably well made but probably not to everyone's taste.

Not horrible, but man I would have rather seen what happened to Timmy happen to a spoiled brat or someone else rather than an obviously mentally retarded boy. Granted he is rather annoying at home and the way he is has bound to have taken a toll on his mom, but really? A mother setting something this bizarre up. Basically, Timmy is a retarded kid, for some reason a couple of kids pick on him in the park and then after they wail on him he gets verbal abuse from his mother. Well Timmy makes breakfast one day for him and his mother and he proceeds to make a mess of things. Nothing that is going to stain, nothing that two minutes of cleaning will not take care of. Well this is the final straw for his mom who sets in motion a rather sinister plan involving the kids that beat him. In the end it is a bit much, but we do get a bit of gore in this film so that was nice. Still, I do not like things that happen for no reason, this is like another short film I have seen "Sisters" in that there is something we do not see, we do not know what it is, it just does its duty and it is movie over. And the makers did seem to have something against people like this, and in trying to be dark they come across as a bit mean spirited. There are far better people to see get dragged in the hole than this boy.
