  • Alps 2011

    ★★★ Watched 28 May, 2013

    Interesting, though morbidly bleak concept that fails to live up to its potential, or to director Giorgos Lanthimos's earlier headfuck gem 'Dogtooth'. It follows a group of people who set up a new venture to impersonate the recently deceased. Typically those who died sudden deaths In order to make life more bearable for those they'd left behind. And give friends & families chance to resolve unfinished issues, by way of playing out scenarios.

    I'll be honest it was a pretty tough…

  • Fireman 2009

    ★★★ Watched 24 May, 2013

    "Now hes back to burn the bastards to the ground...with FIRE-EEERRRR"

    Cheesy trailer voice over narrator

    Mock grindhouse styled trailer from Astron-6. Red Coleman was a fireman killed on duty. Only hes returned to seek revenge on the pyromaniacs responsible... and possibly have incestuous sex with his daughter.

    Fun 2 minute mock trailer short, from the team responsible for fantastic feature 'Fathers Day'.

    [PRFR: Personal Reasons For Remembering]
    The HOT-HOT-HOT lurid sexual & violent tone.

  • Pontypool 2008

    ★★★★ Watched 11 Feb, 2013

    Big city radio host Grant Mazzy is just finding his feet in his new position at Pontypool's humble radio station. During one of his nightly broadcasts, a strange hive mind inducing viral outbreak slowly takes a grip on the small towns population.

    Amazingly sharp, psychological take on the tired zombie genre. Premise starts out a little like "The Fog"'s rural radio broadcaster, but the story takes its own unique path. It begins with a light slightly humorous tone, but slowly…

  • Lazer Ghosts 2: Return to Laser Cove 2008

    ★★★½ Watched 24 May, 2013 2

    "With great laser, comes great responsibility... ohh and don't forget cancer"

    Jason

    10 minute masterclass in dumb. Lazer Ghosts 2: Return to Laser Cove mocks 90's video cassette era z-grade science fiction/action trailers for all their worth. A team of ghost basher's try to stop a ghostly resurrected Einstein and his evil minions.

    Amusing short from the Canadian 'EH' micro budget team Astron-6, who deleviered Troma their best movie in years with 'Fathers Day'. I desperately need to watch 'Manborg' and their other shorts.

    [PRFR: Personal Reasons For Remembering]
    The cheesy visual fx and costumes, and the hilariously bad one liners.
