5 Minute Dating (2010)

 "It's quite a funny story, actually..."

I love a horror film with a punchline.

This is at once a sad little meditation on how unfortunate datring must be for the disfigured while also having fun with the concept. There's a lot of gleeful body horror. And the punchline, of which I shall say nothing, is great.

The comic acting, too, is flawless, from a largely unknown cast. And one cannot but praise the make-up.

The film may be short- it is, ineffect, structured as a one liner, but it's brilliantly executed and bloody hilarious. I shall say no more, as spoilers really matter here, but watching this is an excellent use of four minutes, should nuclear armageddon happen. Although you may well just miss the punchline.
