Fiction
A man cuts down a tree. Another decapitates a child. Which image should affect us most? A falling tree is the more disturbing image, as Mother Earth is dying through human actions, a reality that must transcend our usual sympathy.
This is the nightmare logic of Hicky Knocky, a poltergeist haunting a share house. As soon as Lee moves in, he begins to experience the hallucinations and increasingly violent trances that grip the household. One housemate has already committed suicide. Lee burns down the house and the police want him, but still the hallucinations won't stop.
Lee and his housemates have only each other as they plan their defence, fearing the entity may have the spirit of Mother Earth on its side.
