  • Review by faceless_entity

    My teacher showed us this one time in my social studies class in 6th grade and was looking to find it everywhere.

    And then today I remembered it. Best thing that happened all day.

    Oh, pretty good short, too.

    Is Ron Swanson a movie genre

  • Review by jacob mouradian ★★★½

    I think if we're not careful we as a society are gonna let this talemorph into the next The Most Dangerous Game: an eagerness to see adaptations of it, resulting in an oversaturated zeitgeist that leaves London's original short story over-analyzed and overrated in its wake.

    It's light on the subtext (if there ever was any to begin with) but at least Fx Goby still manages to construct some thrills through some sharp editing. Not to mention the minimalist character design contrasts the lusciousness of the backgrounds in the most beautiful of ways, bringing motion to the forefront and framing each little movement and decision by the man and his dog as being of utmost importance -- as if each bit of action is literally a matter of life and death.

    It's a cold journey out there...try to stay warm.
