Four twisted tales of life as an employee of a modern day Multinational…
Grimmfest says: As the Gig Economy increasingly dominates the marketplace, the daily grind becomes ever more brutally debilitating, and that selfish, greedy toad, Work, squatting on all of our lives, grows fatter and heavier at our expense, this arch and angry anthology from Brea Grant (12 HOUR SHIFT, etc), Chelsea Stardust (SATANIC PANIC) and Ed Dougherty (FACELESS) feels all-too-painfully timely. A quartet of loosely interconnected tales, all revolving around a sinister, supernatural, possibly Satanic transnational super-corporation, the film savagely skewers Amazon, Starbucks, Youtube, Deliveroo, and every other manifestation of exploitative 21st Century corporate culture you might care to mention, with a mischievous and malevolent mixture of on-point satire, pitch black comedy, surrealism, absurdity, and inspired silliness. Boasting an all-star ensemble cast including Barbara Crampton, Matt Mercer, James Urbaniak, Gigi Saul Guerrero and Rob Huebel, and featuring a fine score a score by Grimmfest Reaper winner, Matt Glass, it’s a welcome antidote to the stress and pressure of the increasingly onerous world of employment in the 21st Century, and a reminder that we are, for the most part, all in the same damned leaky boat.
