Unhinged

By Ivana Strajin with 6.6

comedy · Short Films · english

‘Unhinged’, as the title suggests, is a comedy that is absurdly unexpected, and smoothly fast-paced. Its brevity enables it to maintain crispness, while also keeping the viewer involved in the story throughout.

It is a usual morning and a woman is about to head out when her husband realizes that their daughter is missing. What follows next is a series of the most dramatic assumptions that are hilariously and completely steeped in paranoia and anxiety.

The film does a deliberate job of keeping the viewer amused by the intense activity of the parents who, after having missed their daughter’s hurried note about an exam and a switched-off phone, swiftly go ahead to assume the worst. The entire end result remains lighthearted (though far from it for the distraught parents!) for the audience, keeping them involved in this bizarre ride of an entertaining film.
