Monster Eats Boy

1997 Short film
  • Horror

"Clean up your bedroom, or else!" Cinematographer Simon Raby (The Girl on the Bridge, Mortal Engines) wrote, shot and directed this super short short film, which imagines what the 'or else' part of that common parental threat might mean. A teenager relaxing on his bed chucks away his apple and notices movement beneath the sea of junk on his floor. He chooses a weapon and fights the unseen 'monster' from his bed, but the creature circles in for the kill. Monster Eats Boy was one of a series of rADz  so-called 'radical art ads'  commissioned to screen during ad breaks on the TV4 channel.
