Some Dreams Are Terrible Things To See (Sinister Visuals)

So, I've been kind of neglectful for my posts on this blog... a product of my worst bad habit, procrastination, which tends to hold me back in alot of my school work.
In response to this, I'll try to make this post as epic as possible.

So, the main film I'd like to discuss was one that we watched during last part of class. It was a close up of an eye, with a white spot that danced and moved around in frenetic, jarring ways. The soundtrack that accompanied it was equally unsettling. I believe the short was called "Everyday Nightmare" and I was definetly seeing why.

I kept cringing in my seat, wait for something terrible to happen that would completely disturb me and ruin my day. Although the end was almost anti-climactic, I still thouroughly enjoyed it its use of tone and sound to make it all the more chilling.

The director, that I thought about afterwards, was Chris Cunningham, and I related alot of what I felt during the first film to a music video that he directed for the techno band Aphex Twin, called Come To Daddy. It's use of soundtrack and imagery matches the aesthetic and premise of "Everyday Nightmare" in an almost literal sense.
