Day Is Done
Movie • 2006
ReportSynopsis
Day Is Done is a carnivalesque opus, a genre-smashing epic in which vampires, dancing Goths, hillbillies, mimes and demons come together in a kind of subversive musical theater/variety revue. Running over two-and-a-half hours, this riotous theatrical spectacle unfolds as a series of episodes that form a loose, fractured narrative. The video comprises parts 2 through 32 of Kelley's multi-faceted project Extracurricular Activity Projective Reconstructions, in which trauma, abuse and repressed memory are refracted through personal and mass-cultural experience. The source material is a series of high school yearbook photographs of "extracurricular activities," specifically those that represent what Kelley has termed "socially accepted rituals of deviance." Kelley then stages video narratives around these found images.

A child gets hit by a baseball bat and falls down a flight of stairs (even tho he’s clearly replaced with a mannequin double)
There is also a scene later on where a child is flipping through magazines in a barber shop and suddenly the pages feature explicit porn. It should be noted the child actor was not present to see the contents of the magazine as you can clearly see an adult’s hand turning the magazine pages in the POV shots.

In an unusual way. A child (with no facial hair) is bullied by an adult man for having facial hair. “What’s with the fur on your face?”, “Your mouth looks like a p***y What? You want a p***y mouth?” followed by him holding up two fingers and aggressively putting his tongue between them to allude to cunnilingus.

None of your typical hollywood-horror jumpscares, but there are a few scenes that are abruptly scary, often with loud music to match.
This movies seems to consistently take inspiration from The Shining, a movie known for its psychological horror and abrupt scary scenes that existed long before classic jumpscares became the standard.

We see the contents of a porn magazine which features explicit photos of vaginas.
Later on there’s a scene of an exotic dancer who seems to be wearing little to nothing, although we only see her completely black silhouette.

At the beginning of the end credits, the entire screen is large pile of worms crawling around as the credits play on top. The bug scene lasts about ten seconds before the rest of the end credits continue with new footage.

There is a barber shop scene in the second half of the movie that is particularly unhinged and feels well outside of standard reality.

During a particularly intense scene towards the end of the movie, a young child is chased by a deformed, screaming, older woman. She soon after hits him with a baseball bat and the child (obviously replaced with a mannequin) falls down a flight of stairs in what could possibly be a reference to The Shining.

The opening and closing credits both contain extended footage of a beach with the ocean.
And throughout the movie there are recurring short scenes of people walking through a forest with a small creek in view.
