Neill Blomkamp’s New Short ‘Cooking With Bill’ Delivers Serious Kitchen Trauma
Neill Blomkamp (District 9, Chappie) is putting the power into the hands of his fans with Oats Studios, a just-launched creative venture that’s serving as a testing ground for maximum creativity. Rather than waiting for Hollywood to finance his visionary ideas, Blomkamp hopes to essentially fan-fund wacky and wild experimental shorts that, who knows, could someday become features.
But in the meantime, he’s begun unloading a wave of shorts that are 100% free of charge, as well as instantly available to watch on YouTube and Steam. Following last week’s Sigourney Weaver-starring Rakka, which totally blew our minds and set the stage for what’s to come, Blomkamp has just unleashed Cooking With Bill, a fun short that introduces the Damasu 950.
The short plays out like a faux infomercial you’d find on an old VHS tape, presenting a new mega-powered kitchen knife that cuts through flesh and bone like a champ. Okay, so that’s kind of a spoiler, but we’re pretty sure you’ll figure out where this short is going as soon as you hit play!

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
