Franky (Emmanuel Todorov) and the Ant (Anthony Pavelich) are driving to
work, mostly talking trash. But it's especially Franky who teases the Ant
, especially since the Ant is still living with his mother.
"Work" of course is burying the woman (Christine Woods) who lies
in their trunk, all tied up and her head in a bag. She's still alive, mind
you, but not in the best position to remain so much longer. She still
makes an escape attempt, but since she doesn't see a thing through the
bag, it's doomed to fail - and fail she does. But for Franky, this is more
than just another kill, something much more personal ... Franky
and the Ant is first and foremost good fun, in a black humour sort of
way: The dialogue is really witty, there are a few sight gags to loosen up
the proceedings, it's bloody in all the right spots, and the ending comes
as a real surprise. Add to this a subtle directorial effort and a decent
cast, and you've got yourself a nice little short. Recommended. By
the way, part of Hillbilly
Horror Show - Episode 1.
