We don’t cover a lot of short films here at B-D, but curiosity got the best of me when I received a copy of THROWAWAY, a short film by Brian James Fitzpatrick and Dennis Widmyer, so I gave it a look. It’s a tight, compelling little nightmare about a young woman’s repeated encounters with a loud and intimidating homeless man that trumps anything featured in one of those listless Fangoria short film compilations currently available on DVD. If you live in the area, you can check it out at the Eerie Horror Fest, October 9-12, in Eerie, PA, and hopefully it will spread like a virus through other genre fests nationwide. Click here for the trailer or read on for the synopsis.
Abby is new to Los Angeles. She takes a job working the graveyard shift at a home security company as an operator. With such a tough schedule, she spends her days like a vampire, sleeping while the sun is up. This rotation gets disturbed, however, when Abby is repeatedly awoken each day by the sounds of a Bum rummaging through her apartment's dumpster (which rests directly outside her bedroom window). When Abby decides she's had enough, she confronts the Bum in the hopes of negotiating for some daily solace. Only the Bum has other plans for Abby that have nothing to do with a little spare change.
