W.S.H. (1994 TV Movie)
10/10
Excellent drama mixing actors and real folklorists. Professor Charles Pulling played by Ron Rifkin is outstanding.

Riveting drama exploring the world of folklorist collection urban legends. A rationalist folklorist believes urban legends are apocryphal tales, not rooted in truth but contemporary anxieties. He is proved wrong in a catastrophic experience in his academic office whilst contributing to an online Folkloric seminar. His rival folklorist Bill Ellis intuits what has become of Professor Pulling and understands he has gotten too close to his material and has himself begun to live out the narrative of one of the legends under his review. The ultimate sushi involves the insertion of baby octopi into the lower abdomen, which risks the laying of octopus eggs in the gastro intestinal tract. The resulting gestation of further octopi leads to a grotesque denouement.
