Puppets are adorable, but it's safe to say that some can be a bit creepy: marionettes - weird floaty movement; shadow puppets - what are they hiding; ventriloquist dolls - just plain wrong.
However, the felted glove puppets familiar to fans of The Muppets aren't exactly the stuff of nightmares... or are they?
Served a cursed Kermit in the post, the protagonist of MindsEye filmmaker Eros V's hilarious short, Meat Puppet, learns the hard way that one should always be wary of inserting oneself into an unknown plushie.
Borrowing from the Sam Raimi/Edgar Wright playbook of whip-pans, V's razor-sharp piece hooks the audience from the outset. With superb puppeteering by Hugh Purves and a brilliant comedic turn from David Jonsson (Industry, Rye Lane), the stylish and wonderfully absurd film has earned accolades and nominations at SXSW, Sitges, and BIFA.
