The Monster in the Lake that Nobody is doing Anything About

_The Monster in the Lake that Nobody is doing Anything About_ (2024), is a film like no other, because nobody is as clinically insane as the people behind this film. _Lake Monster_, what I will be referring to this film as, due to it's tediously lengthy name, is a film that has your attention the second it begins. Starring budding actors, **BubbyTumkens**, **Smoah** and **Marcus' Dad**. In particular, **Marcus' Dad** utilizes a haunting voice to describe the turmoil that the small town of _Cringlesberg_ is witnessing, this is a masterful use of exposition by Director/Editor/Camera guy **DestinyDonut**. And then after that the movie starts and i think i fell asleep to be honest. Although the stylistic choice of having every second shot be out of focus does remind me of famous Film Professor, **Inongav Nadroj**, and his teachings of camera work and the manipulation of the triangle of light, or some shit idk. Regardless, this film is clearly influenced by **Nadroj's** style as well as **Tarkovsky's**. **!SPOILER!** The ending of the film left me weeping, I couldn't handle the emotion that **Smoah** and **BubbyTumkens** put into their performances, there is a truly gut wrenching moment when the troublesome duo find that Frank's mother had actually died in vain, due to the protagonists forgetting that they had never actually slain _The Monster in the Lake that Nobody is doing Anything About_, after this moment, I was inconsolable, truly the epitome of cinema, a masterclass in acting and a shovel in turkey chasing. If I had to describe this Short-Film with just one word, I would have to say... Really Good.
