Joseph just broke up with his girlfriend and is not taking it very well. He thinks she is plotting against him with their mutual psychiatrist. His dog is missing and he suspects the people at work might be behind it. Then there is the unshakable guilt over his past. It just might all be bearable, somehow possible to live through, if it weren't for those damned 'monsters' that keep trying to kill him. Through an allegorical 'fable' that is told in parallel with Joseph's struggle, we are left to decide for ourselves in the end, who is the crow and who is the wolf., was someone out to get Joseph, was it a stroke of bad luck, or was it all in his head?
Writing
The fable structure messes with your head beautifully.
Acting
Desmond Askew's unraveling is genuinely uncomfortable.
Director
Ari Kirschenbaum
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Katheryn Winnick's early career role—years before she'd lead Vikings as Lagertha.
The film's obscurity is almost thematic: like Joseph, it exists in a reality few witnesses can confirm.
