Description
Working overtime can be murder...What happens when you let your work get on top of you?
Meet John Stark, put-upon junior executive at M.T.S. Pharmaceuticals. Working to meet his budget deadlines late into the night, his paperwork literally takes on a life of its own, as, tired of being subjugated and confined to filing cabinet prisons, it rebels against its master.
Now, John must fight to stay alive, in a decidedly hostile working environment.

Very cool. Very, very cool. Like the animation on the person especially.
It definitely was a suspenseful piece, but I think the music almost took away a bit from the overall creepiness.

Awesome creepy film. And the paper rope thing was very tricky, the guy just shaped that thing in seconds (Incredible!). I also thought it would snap, but oh, he successfully escaped using it.
