Blackheads is part of the Toronto After Dark Canadian Short Film Showcase. It played before Vampire Girl Vs. Frankenstein Girl.

Spoilers ahead, because I can’t talk about this short without really talking about it. You were warned.

This short film starts with a guy shoving his girlfriend’s face into a puddle of spilt milk on the floor and saying abusive things like, “I work all day and this is what I come home to?!?” Then he throws her up against the fridge and starts to rape her, but stops short and goes away to the computer disgruntled saying, “This isn’t working.”

It turns out that they’re actually playing sex games and she likes to be choked, even if he doesn’t like doing it. After sleeping on the couch that night he wakes up with a *monstrous* blackhead in the middle of his back. He goes to the doctor who explains that sometimes this happens and cleans it out in one of the more disgusting displays of medical intervention I’ve ever seen on screen. (Seriously, f*cking gross. Pardon my language.) He leaves the doctor with the instructions to leave it be and keep it clean and the assurance that everything will be fine.

That night while the couple is making out again (but this time no choking) his girlfriend passes her hands over the overly large pore in his back that is now empty. He likes it, but she won’t touch it again. He decides to go for a walk. While he’s out he find a hobo and asks him to come to a hotel with him. There he gets the hobo to have sex with the pore in his back. Yep. He gets a HOBO to have SEX with the extremely large pore in his BACK. Oh. My. Gods. That. Is. Gross.

The next day the pore is understandably irritated and he goes back to the doctor and has the very uncomfortable task of explaining why there was sperm in his back.

Please don’t get me wrong, I LOVED this short. I mean I really, really loved it. In fact I hate myself a little bit for loving it so much. It was extremely gross, but hilarious and new, and I like it! I was left with only one question though: If you were going to get a HOBO to have sex with your back, wouldn’t you use a condom!?!?! I mean, a hobo!?!?! Awesome, awesome, awesome.
