The Eel

Synopsis

Effects maestro turned director delivers a masterful short. An eel thrashes around in his undersized tank - as its form rapidly outgrows its environment, its angry mutation reaches monstrous proportions. Hailstone's eerie imagination runs riot in this seminal organic horror short.
