Dying to Play

I can pretty much guarantee that many people will hate this independent short if they ever get to see it. The bottom line is that it is very, very dark in tone--sort of like the black hole of comedy!! Now if you don't mind, then you will no doubt love this film...just don't say I didn't warn you!! The film is a mock TV sports program--a professional Russian Roulette match!! Like you'd expect, several highly disturbed men take turns pulling the trigger on the gun until they declare a winner. While admittedly not everyone's cup of tea, the film manages to work well because the whole thing is done in a very tongue in cheek manner. Plus, the announcers are great--one is like the typical idiot announcer and the other is a past competitor whose brain has definitely seen better days!!

Very funny and original, yet also considering the subject matter, it's bound to offend many out there.
