TOM THUMB IN THE LAND OF GIANTS is a (I would assume "fictional") movie trailer that is really campy and has some funny stuff going on. I almost wish it had been longer - which I can't say of a lot of Zedd's short films. This one was pretty funny though.Some kid is roaming around a graveyard while some jackass in a gas-mask follows him around carrying a severed arm. The boy is transported to some sort of desolate wasteland where a giant woman appears, and care of some really shoddy special-FX, the boy crawls into her cooch, all the while, a "narrator" is doing his best "spooky" voice to promote this film...I got a laugh out of the sheer silliness that this short exuded, so I'm gonna give this one pretty good marks. It's pretty much as bizarre as Zedd's other films, but has a very obviously self-conscious humor about itself that makes it enjoyable. A quirky way to blow four minutes...7/10
