Before he made HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN director Jason Eisner did this silly, but gory as hell, short about Christmas trees getting revenge for being chopped down, stuffed in people's stupid homes and decorated in a gaudy fashion. It's filled with really obnoxious people you can't wait to see knocked off and a liberal use of the theme from CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST. There's gratuitous eye-violence, tree on man rape, baby killing and all the things that would make Christmas movies more enjoyable to your average gore-hound. Of course it's all really dumb and absurd but because it was shot so well it works for me. Watch it at your next family gathering this holiday season, I'm sure they'll love it.
I never heard anything about this before but holy shit! This might be the greatest short film ever made.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely one of the greatest X-Mas shorts ever. I especially like the baby getting stomped!
ReplyDeleteThe eyeball mutilation is pretty good too
