Stomach Bug

This is quite a poignant short feature from Matty Crawford that adds an extra, more psychological, layer of horror to a story of "Manny" (Leslie Chang). He's feeling like death so has repaired to the hospital feeling nauseous, but that's not all that is wrong. His daughter is now an adult, living away, and he misses her. Clearly he has no-one else and in his despair reverts to his own language whilst they speak on the phone - a tongue she doesn't comprehend. It's only when he reaches (or maybe wretches) the toilet bowl that we understand more... It's darkly lit and deals with just as dark a subject matter, as this man's natural response to his new-found isolation is as scary as anything Hammer might have made.

I suppose , for an Eastern, a simple to understand ( and feel ) story about love for child of a lonely father , for the care for daughter understanding very little about frequent calls of her dad and his presumed naif questions .

The essence remains the physical aspect of this intense wish to remain near your child. The tones of green are the efficient tool for suggest a state, answer, reaction to a crisis who evict the life by sense. The last scene offers the fair answer to the viewers perceiving as too creepy the situation. A simple story reminding, in profound beautiful manner, essential truth.
