Kitchen Sink

Alison de Vere constructs a darkly tender narrative from a premise of pure absurdity. The film relies on a stark contrast between domestic banality and a grotesque, oozing intrusion, exploring the uneasy space between horror and a perverse kind of courtship. Its power lies in the patient, unsettling build of an intimate connection with the utterly alien.

What lingers after the final drain gurgle is a peculiarly sticky sense of disquiet, a suggestion that the mundane world is far more porous and strange than it appears. A brief, bloody, and brilliantly odd gem. — MovieFinder Editorial
