Sometimes horror isn’t necessarily scary, it’s just weird. Our first short film, “Miscellaneous” can definitely be classified as weird. This fast-paced, in-your-face montage of odd-ball imagery is the perfect way to kick off our fifth week of World of Death! Directed by Jordan Wippell, “Miscellaneous” provided a handful of the shots for the WOD trailer including one that gets a very visceral reaction every time it’s on screen. You’ll cringe too when you see it. With sporadic comedy, a solid score, and a fun ending, “Miscellaneous” is one of my personal faves from WOD.
Next up is “Death Rattle” from director JD Brown. I’m a big fan of ghost stories and this one has a nice blend of creepy atmosphere in the short time allotted. I can’t stand it when horror movies are over-lit, but try to stay scary. “Death Rattle” is dark and moody and is a perfect contrast to “Miscellaneous”.
So far we’ve showcased a bit of everything with World of Death, from different countries, storylines, and sub genres, to every degree of experience and budget level. But we want to know what fans want to see more of! Leave comments and tell us what you think of World of Death so far! See you again Thursday night!
