That Time of the Month is a ten-minute comedy short directed by Gareth Wyn Davies, offering an unusual spin on a doomed date night.
The film opens with couple Tim and Catlin, on what appears to be the most awkward date ever recorded. As the night goes on and Catlin’s behaviour becomes increasingly erratic, Tim is introduced to a side of his girlfriend he never thought possible.
While some women may find the innuendo on a woman’s monthly visitor a little bit offensive, overall this short is just a comedic twist on a classic horror plot. There are some funny one-liners too, particularly as Catlin introduces more of her dark side and recommends to Tim “don’t touch my steak. At all.”
Without giving too much of the twist away, the film ends on Tim necking the wine as he realises just what he has got himself in for. This short is a cute and funny insight into dysfunctional and ultimately doomed relationship. Perfect for viewers who did not find themselves in the Valentine’s spirit.
