Web Site Story
Reviewed by: Chris
The grooming of willing and nubile young women by fat balding men over the Internet is despicable. But despicable things have always made good musicals. This tightly written short tells a complete story in eight minutes. All of it sung.
The girl in question uses the online handle Love Horses as her name, which makes for an amusing love-song. Her predator almost explodes with lust as he sends a false picture through the chatroom and rhapsodises about their hastily arranged rendezvous – not forgetting the duct tape. The paedophile comes to a sorry end and the film to an excellent one.
Web Site Story sweeps us off our feet, entertains us, shocks us, and puts us back down in our seat all before Dorothy has thought of leaving Kansas. A thoroughly admirable piece of work and one that shows short filmmaking at its best.
