THE FACTS IN THE CASE OF MISTER HOLLOW - RODRIGO GUDINO & VINCENT MARCONE (2008)

The Facts In The Case Of Mister Hollow is one of my all time favourites. It was co-directed by Rodrigo Gudiño and Vincent Marcone, with the writing credit attached to Gudiño. Once again, Canada brings us the best in animation with this deceptively simple short horror flick. We are presented with a still photograph but as we move around it, and zoom in on and through different parts, we begin to notice that details are not staying the same. We are thus told a story through a single - but morphing - image. It is apparently based upon a real-life photograph from the 1930s, while its title references The Facts In The Case of M. Valdemar, a short story by the grandfather of horror, Egdar Allen Poe.
