Short sketch written and directed by myself. What do you all think? Should I take a premature retirement?

EDIT: Had a play around with some different music on it. Does this work better?

Tonally it was a bit muddled I thought. It played out like a horror/thriller (supported by the score) but ended on a gag punchline. I felt like you should have gone one way or the other - either concentrated on the comedy or the drama. As it is you have a thriller setup that doesn't quite work (why exactly is she so blase about waking up with a missing finger?) and a comedy resolution that comes completely out of left field. That all said, it was a decent job in terms of direction, so you should definitely keep at it.
The tonal clash so that the punchline came out of nowhere was something I intended really, but it isn't as effective as I had hoped unfortunately. Glad you liked my direction though. This was my first attempt at it, and I've learned a lot from the process to take into my next project.
Cheers
Perhaps I have a dirty mind, but, at first, I thought it was going to be about her coming on her period and ruining the sheets.
I had a feeling at least one person would think that. Congratulations!

I think either music works, just not too mad on the end result.
Definitely well directed though.
Cheers After playing around with it for hours and hours, I'm starting to think that maybe I did just go the wrong way about it.
I'll just have to not make the same mistake next time
