Plot
Frank's had enough. A spirit medium whose unique and grotesque method of channeling the dead is putting his own life at risk, he wants out. But others, in this world and the next, have plans of their own. Part body horror, part crime thriller, part ghost story, The Stomach is a unique tale of Supernatural Noir.
Cast
Big ol' shrug
Verdict
Got a strong stomach? You'll need it, pun intended.
British made The Stomach tells the story of a medium who can allow people (For a fee) to communicate with the dead through his erm.......stomach. He however wants out, it's not a pleasant experience for him but his business partner isn't so eager to let him go. To make matters worse a mob boss is trying to communicate with a criminal associate to locate stashed loot!
It's very unsettling stuff yet at the same time fairly engrossing. At around 15 minutes in length it manages to tell a solid story complete with a beginning/middle/end which generally they fail to do.
Not exactly enjoyable but I can't fault its originality.
Breakdown + Great concept
Rants
I feel like setting up a medium service, not to scam people like all the other mediums but simply to offer the service of reality. What I mean by that is they come in, give me money and then I slap the hell out of them hopefully knocking some sense into them that nobody has superpowers and they're throwing money at fraudsters! Anyone want to get in on this action with me? Two hands are better than one to slap the faces of people THAT dumb.

- More than a little gross
- Mediocre cast
