DeathBound

The Awakening is about a student who falls asleep during an unusually boring philosophy class. When he wakes up he finds himself in a different dimension, where time is standing still.
Aftermath takes place in an autopsyroom, far down in a sterile hospital, as far away from human emotions that one can come.
The things that happen on the autopsy table lure out the worst in one of the pathologists (Pep Tosar). When he is left alone with a female body, his darkest, almost inhuman traits come forward.
In the film Genesis the unnamed sculptor (Pep Tosar) becomes obsessed with his wife after she dies in a car accident. H is lust and longing for her takes shape in the innumerable sculptures of her that he creates. One day he has fi n ished the perfect reproduction of her. Suddenly the sculptor and his work trade places in a most peculiar process.
The Awakening, Aftermath and Genesis make out a trilogy of short films with the collective name Deathbound. The films deal with the issue that man is most afraid to confront: they are tightly interlaced by showing different stages of death. Credii has said about The Awakening, ''my inten-
tion was to make a film that shows the soul from a sterile and distant perspective, while Aftermath shows death from the point of the body and the flesh''.
In Genesis the weird transformation becomes a metaphor for the artistic creation. It mirrors the inner of man. This is apparent in Aftermath, as well. The film is thirty minutes of ''living hell''. ''A nightmare that nobody wants to wake up from'', as the director himself puts it. In the film we get to experience believable autopsyscenes that wi II disgust even the most jaded horror movie-critic.
What is inside us is frightening, and it is frightening with the loneliness, violence and insensitivity that happens during the autopsy.
The resu It is a professionally made trilogy, but at the same time an upsetting and uneasy experience.
Warning: parts of the fi 1m Aftermath can cause attacks of vomiting.
