I quite enjoyed the movie - especially it's tenor. Random, brutal, truthful. Very 80's, in feel and look.
I understand the vulnerable child within everyone, as well as the werewolf, when provoked or when the pain is too much. Life is hard, especially for a queer person. And even more so when other people dump their thoughtless bigotry upon you. And just crush that beautiful, joyous child within. But redemption is not to be had by lashing out at bigots, but by tuning into your guardian angel, and thus your higher self.
It's a musical, and the music was top notch. Especially "Fruit", which is a beautiful ballad!

Hard look
Hideous, and Proud!
This was SUCH a good LGBTQ short film!
Part drama.
Part horror.
Part camp.
All parts musical.
(And some great music, at that)!
In just 22 minutes, so much is cleverly conveyed about the main character through the dialogue, the lyrics of the songs, the excellent acting (MAJOR kudos to Oliver Sim!), and the various settings that the movie morphs and melds into. The music will have you tapping your feet, and the makeup SFX is chef's kiss.
As a gay man, I could relate to quite a lot in this film. PLEASE watch it, especially if you're from the LGBTQ community. It's a quick watch that conveys so much!
