Empire of Ache
Synopsis
Illustrator Dame Darcy (Meat Cake) stars as Clara One-Arm, an overwrought young woman who's trapped in her room and tormented by a trio of puppets, a ghost from her past, and a crazed nurse brandishing a monstrous needle. All of this shot like some psychotic's vision of a 20's silent movie, complete with tinted stock, beautifully expressionistic sets, and an appropriately eerie soundtrack by Eric Hammer
