the best horror comedies are the ones where the monster is actually terrifying out of context like i came from seeing a screenshot of the monster that scared the everloving shit out of me, but the short itself is hilarious. also the song at the end is a total vibe

oh my fucking GOD i love this, I've never seen the 360 camera put up to this level of filmmaking, it looks fantastic and works so well in these narrow surroundings. The way the camera pans feels primal and animalistic IT'S SO GOOD
