Change the music around and it is easily a thriller.

When I saw people discussing this movie on Tumblr, I saw a few people say that this movie was "creepy" and "unsettling". Being someone who likes spooky things I was interested in seeing Martin in something like that.

When I went to purchase the movie on iTunes, it was categorized as "Comedy." I was a bit confused, but I did find myself laughing a few times.

The ending is a little unsettling, and I realized this was one of those movies where I wonder if the music makes all the difference. A kind of a quirky, playful theme is played during certain scenes...and i couldn't help but think if they took THAT out and replaced it with something dark and ominous, people would have a hard time seeing it as a comedy.

Good little short! I definitely recommend it!

You don't need an iPod. I watched this on my computer. Just go to iTunes!

Taken from IMDb (the site you're currently ON, zrowsdower): "Doctor Williams is called in to examine the enigmatic Mr Voorman, a prisoner with a peculiar affliction: he believes he is a god. The Doctor must decide on the sanity of Mr Voorman - is he a faker or a lunatic? Diagnose him insane and they can ship him off to the asylum. But before making a decision, the Doctor has several questions in relation to Voorman's claims: why would a god choose to be straitjacketed in a prison, is there a way he can validate his boast and what has any of this got to do with Belgium?"

There you go! Now you know what it's about!
