#craziest

(cw: gun violence, mental illness, disturbing sounds/imagery)

Its been almost 14 years and this is still one of the most unnerving videos I’ve seen. The idea that someone could honestly believe that Scrabble was an oracle of some kind can easily be comical (not that there aren’t any moments of levity in this short) and yet here she’s shown to be obsessed to the point of madness. I’ve seen some crazy stuff involving numerology but this takes the cake.

The ending was especially unnerving, with her implied to have gone and shot that man while he was in the hospital for ruining her percieved prophecy. I think what really makes this whole short unnerving is how it’s all presented against a solid black background with scant but well-placed music and sound effects. It reminds me of those creepy EAS videos.
