The Imp of The Perverse
(Jackie Bogg)

Have you ever had the urge to do something completely inappropriate?

This documentary is on the psychological phenomenon 'The Imp of The Perverse', based on Edgar Allen Poe's 1845 short story with the same name. Studies show that many of us experience this sudden and mysterious urge to do something bad in certain situations. Many have likened it to a 'pull to the darkness'; as though there is a foreign being in our minds sending us perverse thoughts- this being is what Poe refers to as the Imp of the Perverse. The phenomenon itself is largely undocumented due to its mysterious nature and it being difficult to survey, but current studies have shown that while many do experience these urges, we do not enact them. However, some urges can be so dark that it's easy for us to question our mental wellbeing, therefore the purpose of this documentary is to reassure people that it's an extremely common phenomenon and that these urges are not a reflection of your logical desires- rather, the opposite.

The Imp of The Perverse (Jackie Bogg, 2020)
A bit about this project: This documentary was created by myself, Yuhang Sun and Xiaoying Ma. We all dedicated many hours towards creating this film; the animation was particularly time-consuming, thus all three of us contributed, which may explain the varying animation style throughout! We also owe a huge thanks to Bruce Bennett for his convincing narration that really tied the whole documentary together.
A bit about myself: My name is Jackie and I'm a film student here at Lancaster. This kind of goes without saying, but film is my ultimate passion- not just as a consumer of film, but as an aspiring filmmaker. I'm constantly either in the process of writing a film, making one or watching one. My goals after I graduate are to gain a year of internship or experience within the industry and then complete a master's in filmmaking at New York Film Academy.
(I recommend manually changing the quality to 1080p before watching)
