I ran into Richard Gale, the director of the short film The Incredibly Slow Murderer With the Extremely Inefficient Weapon at a Fantastic Fest-sponsored karaoke party in Santa Monica last week. Richard told me that his short, which my Horror Shorts Jury at Fantastic Fest 2008 awarded with a special prize for creativity, was on YouTube now and doing gangbusters. And I understand why – Richard takes a one-joke premise, extends it to ten minutes and makes it completely work. I think this is the kind of short that horror fans will really, really appreciate. And it was made on a shoe string budget but ends up looking really fantastic. I can’t wait to see what Richard has up his sleeve next.

Few things that last over 3 minutes manage to stay up in my browser – but this is one of the few. Very good, and could do for spoons what Ringu did for unmarked videotapes.
Good concept, crafted extremely well, but the appeal is instantly lost after a minute or so. A few chuckles, but not overtly funny. This could have been much, much better and tighter at 2 minutes or less.
Very funny and well made short! I was cracking up the whole time! It may have been a little long but never really outlasts its welcome IMO. Funny fucking stuff!!!
Now we know what Brain Guy was up to between MST3K and Rifftrax.
Anyone realize that is Paul Clemens from THE BEAST WITHIN?
A good short, Personally I would have grabbed the spoon from him and began hitting the murderer with it.
That or get used to wearing armor the rest of your life.
Good fucking lord. Batman Begins is a pile of boring shite, but this is somehow genius? Somebody's got his wannabe nonconformist cock way up his own ass.
what a horrible, horrible fate!
watched the first and last minute, the images in between backed up my decision.. still funny, give the man some soup..
