The Monster in the Lake that Nobody is doing Anything About

The Monster in the Lake that Nobody is doing Anything About (2024), is a film like no other, because nobody is as clinically insane as the people behind this film. Lake Monster, what I will be referring to this film as, due to it's tediously lengthy name, is a film that has your attention the second it begins. Starring budding actors, BubbyTumkens, Smoah and Marcus' Dad. In particular, Marcus' Dad utilizes a haunting voice to describe the turmoil that the small town of Cringlesberg is witnessing, this is a masterful use of exposition by Director/Editor/Camera guy DestinyDonut. And then after that the movie starts and i think i fell asleep to be honest. Although the stylistic choice of having every second shot be out of focus does remind me of famous Film Professor, Inongav Nadroj, and his teachings of camera work and the manipulation of the triangle of light, or some shit idk. Regardless, this film is clearly influenced by Nadroj's style as well as Tarkovsky's.

!SPOILER!

The ending of the film left me weeping, I couldn't handle the emotion that Smoah and BubbyTumkens put into their performances, there is a truly gut wrenching moment when the troublesome duo find that Frank's mother had actually died in vain, due to the protagonists forgetting that they had never actually slain The Monster in the Lake that Nobody is doing Anything About, after this moment, I was inconsolable, truly the epitome of cinema, a masterclass in acting and a shovel in turkey chasing. If I had to describe this Short-Film with just one word, I would have to say... Really Good.
