Eel girl- Paul Campion- 2008

Eel Girl, which is probably one of the most recent and more disturbing films that I have viewed. It tells the story of a fictional science lab and a so called experiment of a hybrid creature, Half eel, half Human. Originally the film was going to be a music video, but it was later decided to cut it down and make into a short film. I believe that the concept of the film is the typical ‘song of the sirens’ or ‘Venus flytrap’ idea of someone succumbing to seduction and then having to pay for it. The film seems to be quite high budget as it utilises some special effects to be rather convincing. The whole atmosphere of the film seems to be rather bleak and artificial, in an abstract yet realistic setting.
