Short Films: Treevenge

It’s hard to know what to say about a short film as funny, gory, mad and wonderful as Treevenge.

The short, clocking in at about 16 minutes, is a couple of years old and comes recommended by a sackful of film festival awards, including an honourable mention at Sundance and audience-fave short at Torronto After Dark, as well as Best Short from Rue Morgue magazine.

The Best Laid Plans...

…can go somewhat awry.

February started well but suddenly it’s the 16th and I haven’t posted in nearly 2 weeks. Damn. That wasn’t meant to happen. All sorts of other things (real life!) got in the way for a bit; but there’ll be some good new posts up soon. I’ve promised a WomenInHorrow post on Emily Booth, I NEED to write about Birdemic (the world’s best worst film) and a whole host of other things I’ve watched.

From Nuisance Films comes two fabulous minutes of blood-drenched splatter horror. Though the fiom does cram a fair amount into it’s tiny running time, I shan’t say an awful lot here… save to say there are zombies, videogames and heaps of blood.

This was made for an ever-so reasonable £80 by Paul Shrimpton and Alex Chandon. Paul has previously won the Zone Horror ‘Cut!’ short films competition (with the, also excellent, ‘Hung Up’) and this film is definitely a film worth several watches. I just hope he makes something longer soon!
