WORLD OF DEATH Ep. 100 – Eel Girl
Happy episode 100 World of Death!
Director Paul Campion (The Naughty List, The Devil’s Rock) is an industry professional with over 35 indie and studio-level projects to his credit. He has worked on such films as Sin City, X-Men: The Last Stand, Clash of the Titans, Kinsgmen: The Secret Service, Captain America: Civil War, and Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy. But his breakthrough as a Director was in 2008 when he unleashed EEL GIRL upon an unsuspecting public.
From the moment WOD began, this was one of my favorites shorties. It’s a brilliant film; full of eerie atmospherics, a terrific score, some remarkably effective makeup effects, awesome art direction and production design, and most importantly, confident and deliberate direction from Campion. The premise here is simple; a lonely, half-crazed doctor falls in love with one of his experiments and attempts to take his bizarre infatuation to another level, which, not surprisingly, has disastrous consequences. Eel Girl is an efficient spin on the horror and science fiction hybrid by merging a twisted love story with some satisfying conventions. It’s genre fare to be certain, but it’s incredibly well-produced, beautifully photographed, and edited with vigor. Eel Girl will get your blood pumping, pull at your heartstrings (if only for a moment), and make you re-consider meddling with Mother Nature.

The Wayans are out to cancel the Cancel Culture with Scary Movie, and the cast assures it will do just that.
“They sort of have an across-the-board style,” Anna Faris tells EW. “It’s always been a part of the Wayans Brothers, their electricity. ‘Can we offend you? Will you still love us? Come on, you still love us, don’t you?'”
Regina Hall concurs, promising the “boundary-pushing” sixth installment in the horror parody franchise will “offend everyone.”
EW has shared a batch of behind-the-scenes images from Scary Movie, which hits theaters June 5 via Paramount.
Faris and Hall are joined by fellow franchise favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Jon Abrahams in the legacy sequel.
The ensemble includes Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, Kenan Thompson, and Felissa Rose.
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs from a script by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).
The film will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final.
Scary Movie launched in 2000, followed by Scary Movie 2 in 2001. The Wayans’ involvement ended there, but the series continued with 2003’s Scary Movie 3, 2006’s Scary Movie 4, and 2013’s Scary Movie 5.
