CORPOREAL PUNISHMENT, despite being a swift-moving, laugh-a-minute short, offers a smorgasbord of theatrical delights: an occult horror story! stunning reversals! a revenge plot! unlikely romance! existential dread!

This “spoonful of sugar” approach makes CORPOREAL PUNISHMENT a blood-spattered satire that slyly expresses the pain of feeling unlovable and invisible—and you may not realize the full effect until the laughter dies down.
