Merry?

 


TREEVENGE-2008-Anti-Christmas short disguised as a horror comedy tries to show that Christmas is only a holiday for white redneck assholes and dysfunctional families. It's told from the viewpoint of the trees who even have their own language shown in sub-titles. The story turns into a gore film when the trees revolt and kill the townspeople (including a baby). 

The director Jason Eisener, needs mental help but will probably be making more juvenile gore nonsense on a larger scale soon. Lucio Fulci did it better....

Thanks for reading!

Italy in America

 


 

CONTAMINATION 7-1993-Something is killing folks in a forest near a power plant conducting some shady business. A hick who drives a DeSoto and his girlfriend who just returned from living in "the city" investigate when they find a dead body. An alcoholic doctor discovers a lot of radioactivity in the woods but his bosses only want to cover it up. They send 2 hit men to kill him but the thing in the woods kills them. When he complains to the asshole sheriff he's locked up. It seems roots from carnivorous trees are killing everyone. 

This Italian production directed by Fabrizo Laurenti was filmed in the state of Utah and later known under the titles THE CRAWLERS and/or TROLL 3 (despite there being no trolls int it). It was produced by Joe D'Amato (ANTHROPOPHAGUS). Bad acting and direction rolled together in one mess of shoddy shit.
