an original short movie!!!!!!!

i´ve seen this short movie in the cinema school and I found it very original and funny. i like the comparisons with the frankenstein´s movies and the final( I won´t tell it) it´s delicious. I like also the black and white screen and the great choices of the art director. Anyway it´s a good advance of "scissors hands". Good to see it. !!!.
