The Iron Boy (2006) is a gem of a short film from Australia. This eerie and dramatic film is wonderfully shot with dark undertones, and the spooky soundtrack compliments it perfectly. It stars Rebecca Cole and Peter Anderson and was created by Swingtime Creative.

Her lover pushes her to let go of their son that passed away but she can not; especially with the neighbors new child. As he sleeps, she slips outside into the shed to put the pieces together she has retrieved. As her delusionary obsession grows her husband's anger overflows when he finds the iron boy.
