Very adult, very weird and very funny....

Shawn Schepps wrote and directed this mega-strange short film. And, based on what I saw, I really want to see more from his and the actors in "The Closet".

The film begins with a man accidentally being shot in the head by two guys. Exactly why isn't 100% clear...but that's okay. However, before they can dump the body, the dead man's wife returns home unexpectedly...so they drag the body into a closet and hide. I could describe what happens next, but I'd rather not...it would spoil the fun and surprises--and there are many, many surprises.

The only reservation I have, and it's a very small one, is that the film is a bit on the adult side. You should NOT have small kids watch it--particularly because of what the wife does when she returns home. However, it's fine for teens and will definitely make you take notice!

Two friends are trapped in a closet with a dead man after a failed robbery attempt.

The best short I've ever seen!! From beginning to end this black comedy about two friends trapped in a closet with a corpse after a botched robbery keeps you guessing. You think you know what's going to happen, but do you?! Jason Wolk's dead-on performance is absolutely fantastic and Mike Siracusano's performance as his friend and partner in crime brings the whole piece together. David Razowsky even pulls off a great performance as the dead man! Everything about this film from the writing to the acting represents the craft of film making at this finest! If you haven't seen it, please do. I highly recommend it!!

The Closet is an apt title

A man is shot dead in his home by two amateur burglars? One of the burglars is a cowardly hypochondriac. The dead man's wife returns home, so the two crooks hide with the dead body in a closet. The wife then makes love to another man, or does she? Watch it and see. The Closet is an appropriate title for this film.
