Monzoni released KARMA on October 10 with a deliberately spare setup: two buttons, and one wrong choice. The complete original X video is approximately 1:42, rather than an announcement or trailer.

Why this film matters

The premise makes a decision the engine of suspense. Its interest for this collection is how a filmmaker can establish a rule, make the audience anticipate a consequence and sustain tension within a very short running time. It also adds a horror direction to an artist already represented by the fantasy of The Fall and the comedy of Grimble & Wobbles.
