Skibidi Toilet (2023) - Short Comedy Horror Film Review


Skibidi Toilet
is a bizarre crudely animated CG web-series about the titular monster that appears to be a combination between a toilet and a creature. There have been many short horror films created around the subject, with Murat Kiziroglu's Skibidi Toilet being one such example, a film that he wrote, directed and acted in.

A man is startled to hear strange music coming out of his toilet, investigating he is disturbed at what he finds. That is it for the synopsis for this three minute horror. From the comments, it appears this character is a recurring one of Kiziroglu's. As for the short itself, it is devoid of original ideas, being based on an existing internet horror meme. The creature looks CG, but with the original being purposely crude looking, I felt that maybe that was on purpose. It was fun enough, but not too interesting to watch, I thought the Evil Dead style first person perspective ending was a neat touch.

With a three minute run time, Skibidi Toilet didn't hang around long enough to be dull, even if half the short is the protagonist hearing the disturbance but not actually investigating it, instead deciding to phone his friend (apparently a common thing this character does). If it is indeed a continuation of a luckless horror character then people familiar with him may well get more enjoyment out of this. Skibidi Toilet can be seen for free on the MKofficial YouTube channel.
