10 | Like others I have seen this short when I was a kid

I remember it was in the eighties and I had been left alone at home with my sister and we were watching the late night programs.If you've seen this movie yourself you can imagine the type of effect it can have on a kid's mind. This is the type of movie that you remember all your life. Nevertheless it is a very good classic short of television, and a very good piece of surrealist art. I think it's more surrealist than actually horror, perhaps like luis bunuel's movie, the andalusian dog. Actually the more I think about it, the more I think every kid should get to watch it because we need terrors like that to be a complete human being. There's nothing else that can or needs to be said about it really, the dialog is minimal but it conveys its message clearly enough. The short format is perfect for this sort of small shocker and I wish I knew of other shorts this good.
