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.
