"The Muck" is a 5-minute live action short film from last year. The writer and director is the fairly prolific American filmmaker Tony Wash. And "wash" is also a nice reference to the action here. A young woman comes home, gets ready to take a bath, but it's not gonna be a pleasant, relaxing one for her. The actress in here is Callie Stephens and it is her only work so far in film, at least according to IMDb. Then again, she does not really have to act here. No talking involved and for the most part she basically has to pretend taking a bath in real life, maybe with a bit more posing than usual. But she is fine. As is the music and the creature at the end. All in all, a mix of scary and funny and it's working nicely. I recommend the watch, especially to horror film fans. Thumbs up.
