CORPORATE MONSTER | Omeleto

A dangerously unstable man starts to see monsters all around us.
CORPORATE MONSTER is used with permission from Ruairi Robinson. Learn more at ruairirobinson.com.
After losing his jobs, an unstable man goes into a spiral of depression. His doctor gives him some pills to treat his condition, though they're "not quite FDA approved yet."
But after taking the pills, he begins seeing things: he sees people as horrendous monsters, creatures that control the world from the shadows and stay hidden by people's own blindness and apathy.
Are they hallucinations, or is he merely seeing what's been there the entire time? His girlfriend Ellen tries to bring him back to normalcy, but she can't stop him from seeing the world as full of these monsters. He begins seeing them everyone, and convinced that they're controlling the world, drives himself to almost calamitous action.
Writer-director Ruairi Robinson's thriller is a masterfully crafted piece of psychological suspense, adept at both getting us inside the head of its troubled hero and pulling audiences along with tautly constructed chills and thrills.
The plot hits familiar tropes of sci-fi and horror genres -- and many horror fans will see echoes of John Carpenter's THEY LIVE here -- but Robinson has a gift for generating atmosphere and building character without sacrificing dramatic tension. It's anchored by smart, solid performances, including one by actor Jenna Coleman (currently starring as the titular queen on acclaimed series VICTORIA) as the girlfriend balancing concern for her troubled boyfriend with a growing concern for her own safety.
A sharp eye for ironic, clever detail -- thanks to collaborator Macgregor, who co-directed Omeleto fave LOS ANGELES 1991 -- guides each frame. Deft editing and pacing keep the story propelling forward on the fumes of paranoia, guided with charting the main character's growing instability and alternating between personal character moments and terrific action pieces.
Along with Carpenter, CORPORATE MONSTER has a look and feel that owes a debt to the great, gritty 80s urban sci-fi films, full of stories that saw urban settings teeming with danger and catastrophe. But with its paranoia that a small wealthy, powerful elite controls the world and corporate dominance has seeped into the most intimate, personal levels of human existence, its worldview is firmly of our times. Though the short is a superb piece of entertainment -- and begs for an expansion into a feature -- it gives voice and shape to the fractious, troubled undercurrents of today's social anxiety. Maybe there aren't literal monsters in today's world, the film seems to say -- but underneath the seamy underbelly of it all lies the same monstrous venality, greed and inhumanity.

Doc: "Are you seeing anything strange?" Roger: "No." Doc: "These pills will cure that."

[@lapisminer2904]

lol, that they did.

[@nero1810]

The script is sooo bad omg

[@Daniel-tomhawk]

The thing is we are all ill, not seeing what is happening around us, we are all brainwashed in a way and this pill makes you see clearly what goes wrong. The doctor just helps you to see that "strange" things going on. Its up to you living in a "strange" world or a totally fine world;) it is actually about who you believe and trust.

The real tragedy of this story is, she took one pill and couldn't get anymore because the doctor was arrested. She could see 'them' for a few hours, but never again, and have to try and live a 'normal' life amongst them, not knowing who was one of them, and who was not, including her whole family.

he left her the bottle

[@isbestlizard]

Haha yes that's exactly how it'd be like for someone with a delusion resistant to reason she's just SURE aliens exist cos she saw them XD

[@pelinoregeryon6593]

Problem, the one she sees as one of them at the end was her boss, the guy he pulled from his office, he was on the pills and just shot two he did see but didn't see that man as one of them, it's a continuity error of sorts, the film makers just effed up there at the end I think 🙂 Because if the monsters were real and the pills did let you see them then he should have seen that man as one of them, and if it was supposed to be that the pills just made you nuts then she shouldn't have seen exactly the same type of monster, so that end doesn't work for either interpretation. Quibbles about its internal logic aside .. Still a nice little piece though.

[@titusorelius9458]

@@pelinoregeryon6593 You miss understand. He did see the boss as one of them. That's why he pointed the gun at him. He did not point the gun at humans. At that point the film makers switched it to the viewpoint of humans that did not take the pill so we would be viewing it through the unmedicated eyes from that point on.

[@SomewhatDapperExtraterrestrial]

What I like about this film, especially compared to They Live, is that the protagonist isn't framed as a badass action hero, but as someone who is clearly mentally disturbed by his experience, regardless if it is real or not.

[@HrozenSetGalifi]

i cant believe how few people in this chat arent mentioning the carpenter film

[@ivanivan5511]

Haaa...thought the same

[@spacefriend6588]

I thought of They Live while watching this as well, but I feel like making the thing that lets you see the truth, or whatever, a pill as opposed to something benign, like sunglasses, is that the scene where the main character tries to get someone else to see what they see becomes a lot more understandable when it's, y'know, some random pills from who knows where.

[@E4RLIES]

That’s the name I was looking for They Live👍🏼👍🏼 Thanks for that I was going crazy 🤯

[@yukisohma19]

Well yeah because the plot device in They Live are glasses that can verifiably let people see the truth without committing to taking a drug. It's way easier for the lead character to understand and communicate what he's seeing; Though that doesn't always work cue the scene with Keith David. The "framing" has entirely to do with the protagonists own knowledge of the situation they're in and their ability to communicate that to other characters. It's hard to make someone take a pill, easy to get them to put on glasses.

Honestly does recall everything from They Live for me. But it feels a bit more modern I think? I like how it carries over the major themes and plot of that feature length film, but in a more direct, focused bite of cinema. I feel like it rounds out that movies themes and structure in just under 14 minutes. I'm impressed. Good watch!

[@rubikscubeearf6218]

The only difference is the main character didn’t say “I’m here to kick a$$ and chew bubble gum, and I’m all out of bubble gum.”

[@DavidDruckerOnGooglePlus]

‘They Live’ had more socioeconomic themes like class (have and have-nots), hinted here but not as explicitly. There was no moment when the aliens said to each other ‘He can see us’.

Theory: The doctor knew the side-effect of the pill, but just wanted to get as many people awake as possible to fight off these weird aliens.

[@sxxp4392]

Or the doctor is an alien and wants, his own army of people so that the rulers don't have to fight

[@bingeplanet4463]

the doctor was crazy himself

[@djb1928]

isn't that the whole point of the video?

[@aca48]

The TV part is impossible. If they can trick the camera, then a pill won't reveal theri true identity. A pill could only work if they are mindcontrolling the person. This totally ruined my belief.

[@bingeplanet4463]

@@aca48 so by your merits, its best to belief that he was crazy then. unless, you want to belief that somehow, cameras function very similar to eyes when capturing light frequency. if their face was being hidden, it was most likely not makeup flesh, but a sort of visual frequency hologram to disguise the face. but with the proper alteration and attunation of photoreceptivity of the eyes between the cornea, nerve endings, and the brain, somehow you can diffuse the visual hologram projector disguise and you see what they are. Just a thought. At the end, your only going to find reasons, to what you want to belief. same with everyone else. this whole comment section is divided in two groups. the believers(crazies) and disbelievers (normals)

[@Mr.Kalashnikov47]

This is truth about what actually governments are like. Very impressed from the producer/director/writer/composer these are the kind of movies i like you deserve Gold medals , impeccable music,Edits and needs little tweaks like showing the most evil bureaucrats, Authority, enforcements and presidents as same monsters. The True face of government.
