My favourite New Zealand short film ever, Kitchen Sink, has just been put online but the wonderful people at NZ on Screen. Beware – it has a hairy, scary monster and if you’ve ever gagged while cleaning hair out of a plughole, it might not be for you. At a touch under 13 minutes, it’s a 105Mb file – and totally worth it. Watch it with a friend this weekend. It’s directed by Alison Maclean.

I remember that one!
There is something so horrific about hair, The Ring and that run of Japanese and Korean horrors played on the scariness of the hairiness. The ‘creature’ in Dark Water looked like it had been dredged up out of plughole hair and filth – aaaaargh!
Trichophobiacs unite.

Ha! I remember watching that in film studies at high school. Developed a small phobia of plug holes after that…
