Dirt Dauber (2009) Online

A man awakes naked and confused in a isolated mountainous region, and soon encounters a strange local who offers to help him. The helpful stranger tells the man of local folklore that speaks of a murderous religious cult, a train tunnel cut deep into the mountain that leads to nowhere, and an insect-like fertility god that is said to dwell within it. The two men soon go underground in search of the truth, and find themselves in a stygian black temple of horror.

HP Lovecraft, were he alive today, would probably amour this eerie adaption. While many have tried and failed to bring this horror master's visionary style to the screen, Steve Daniels seems to have created a faithful, gloomy short that will please the Lovecraft camp. We also get to hear of a little known Old One as the tale unfolds in the Blue Ridge Mountains of South Carolina-all in scant 35 minutes.

Dirt Dauber has only male characters, faithful to Lovecraft's work. It also has a horrible past of an ill fated train tunnel, beautifully executed paper puppets in a flashback sequence, stark black and white imagery that, as the piece flows, turns to color at the climax scenes when the dreadful secret is revealed. The viewers will strain to guess who is the real "monster" as both characters are equally disturbing, but only one has the ultimate fate. Grab the DVD on Amazon at $12.00. If Mr. Daniels reads this, we need a DVD with all the features. Fabulous!
