The film begins with a team of robbers entering a bank. However, oddly, everyone is gone and when they search the small town, they can't find the people--only a badly mauled man who is dying. Then, one by one, they are killed by a creature that looks like a combination of the Grim Reaper and Alien! How this is all resolved is pretty savage but entertaining.
This short film is very reminiscent of the great "Twilight Zone" episode which starred Billy Mumy as the evil child with amazing mental powers--powers that made everyone do his bidding OR ELSE! Because of this, what occurs in the short didn't come as any surprise to me. However, because it was handled so well and had a rather gritty and satisfying ending, I found myself wanting to see more from the team that made BLACK GULCH--it is a dandy short film.
Also, parents may want to keep kids away from this one--it's very violent and has a lot of very harsh language and isn't suitable for younger audiences.
