Welcome to Your Daily Short, a new feature on Film.com that will highlight and stream a short film at high noon. Every weekday. Every week.
TODAY’S FILM: “The Cost of Living” (BenDavid Grabinski) 2011
RUNNING TIME: 7:56
WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH IT: A hit at Fantastic Fest when it premiered there in 2011, BenDavid Grabinski’s impressively compact short takes the usual crises that most of us grapple with as we begin to feel the inertia of adulthood, and then raises the stakes. And by “raises the stakes” I obviously mean “adds were-children, gremlins and a mess of other monsters.” Ruthlessly efficient and as well-versed in genre tropes as it is the neuroses of Generation Y, “The Cost of Living” is deeply satisfying stuff, and a necessary reminder that films should better value our time.
Bonus: “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” reunion like woah.
