insolent_dragon This is a 7 minute short film by Chris Cunningham, about a shape-shifting, mutant child named Johnny, who is kept in a basement with only his dog and his imagination for company.It has also been suggested that Johnny is merely a hallucinating drug addict, because at one point in the film you can see him snort a line of white powder.However, the original concept was for a video of a raver morphing as he danced, which eventually evolved into the concept of a music video/short film about a mutant child keeping himself occupied.While incredibly disturbing, it's definitely worth a few watches. Once the initial shock of the images wears off, a vastly creative video shows itself through all the creepiness.Filmed almost entirely in night-vision, the film has a grainy, documentary feel to it, which is why upon first watching it, some people concluded it was actual footage of a mutant.With original music by Aphex Twin (inserted into the film as a remix done by the director himself) the latter part of the video does more resemble a music video than a documentary, and you'll almost certainly find yourself watching the last 2 or 3 minutes again.In all, disturbing and unforgettable. Not for the easily scared or sensitive.

maxyg18 This creepy short film has been rumored that it's real footage of a badly deformed human being. It's not; all it is, is just a short homemade horror movie, which I thought didn't make much sense. Yes it was quite disturbing and well made, but what was this movie about? I've been watching this movie quite a few times and I barely got it. The closest description that I can give you is that it's just about some sort of creature or a badly deformed human being who lives in a basement of a house with his dog and an abusive parent or owner. Although it doesn't make much sense, it's worth checking out and can also be seen on various websites.

nudone the hard back book that the DVD arrives inside is worth the price alone. if you want to see genuinely grotesque and yet alluring photo realistic images then this is a good place to start.i think it's safe to assume that Photoshop or some other high end editing software was used to manipulate the images, but it's also obvious that a great deal of care has gone into the lighting and angles used whilst photographing the model.the quality of the imagery really is outstanding and i think it fair to say i've never seen anything like it before.i know it's odd to talk about a book on a film review site but it has to be pointed out that the masterwork here is in the printed form rather than in the moving image.as for the 'movie' itself, well, it's good but it is little more than a music promo for Aphex Twin. not a bad thing by any standards but understandably a shame when even a 30 minute 'film' with a little more narrative would have been greatly appreciated.a full length feature film from Chris Cunningham, when it finally arrives, will certainly be a disturbing, spectacular journey if this or any of his other video masterpieces are to go by.

sette7 we have to wait a long time. several delays with funny stories "why". but finally it's released. everybody want to have the movie. so i give three stars for the marketing. that's it. the movie itself is nothing more than a music video for me. even not a good one. while "come to daddy" is one of my favorite, "rubber johnny" is far from that. no story, only eye candy. but, hey, what do expect from a music video. stop – it's not announced as a music video but as a movie. no go! when i saw the trailer the first time i thought "wow", that will be a crazy movie. now i'm very disappointed. "rubber johnny" starts good and than – no ideas anymore. only fx. dear chris, better not try to do a feature!
