Little Deaths is an anthology film, but not like you’re thinking. We get three short films from three writer-directors, but they aren’t connected by a common “wrap-around” story. They’re connected only in theme alone. The three stories are unified by the themes of sex and death.
The first story, House and Home is written and directed by Sean Hogan. The story focuses on a rich and religious couple Richard and Victoria, who appear as do-gooders but actually have very different plans in store for their charity cases.
The second entry, Mutant Tool has the best title by far. Written and directed by Andrew Parkinson. This ones takes a creepy approach to storytelling. We get a mysterious subject who is bound up in a basement being force fed a diet of liquid human kidney’s which somehow gives him super sperm which a crazy doctor is harvesting to make some kind of pill to sell on the black market that not even he knows what it does. Oh yeah; did I mention that this procedure was based on Nazi experiments? Yeah, this one is crazy as fuck..
The last short is simply titled Bitch. Written and directed by Simon Rumley. It begins with a peak into the domestic blissof couple Pete and Claire. Their relationship is, you could say, strained and is one based on power and domination. You’d think the title was referring to Claire, but then in a shocking scene we see that Pete is living in a big doghouse in the living room and eats out of a dog dish and even has a doggie mask for those intimate times they have together.
Little Deaths is very enjoyable. The first story will entertain you even if it is a little predictable. The second one is just wtf, and then be prepared to be blown away by the third entry.
