Treevenge (short film)

From the madmen that brought us Hobo With A Shotgun, comes this 2008 short film Treevenge. You read that right. The idea behind this is brilliant. There is a lot more to pine trees than we thought.

They are sick and tired of us cutting them down, dragging them from their families and natural habitats and humiliating them with decorations until they die and are thrown out. So they decide to finally rise up and exact their revenge in this 15 minute, blood-soaked beauty.

Just like with Hobo, they really pull out all the stops. Just when you think "no...there's no way they would take it that far...they can't" they do. It's outrageous in all the best ways.

I couldn't help but laugh throughout almost every minute of the carnage. It is out of this world, you won't really believe what you're seeing at first, but just suspend your disbelief and soak it all in. Any real horror fan would love this. I think I've finally found a filmmaker who is just as batshit crazy as I am.

As a special treat the director himself, Jason Eisener, gave me permission to include a link to Treevenge for all to enjoy. Remember, it's not for the faint of heart:

TREEVENGE

Shock or not? Shock

Film: 5/5
Shock: 5/5

Jason Eisener is the first director to receive a double 5 rating on 2 films. They are well deserved. I can't wait to see what he has in store for us in the future!
