Watch Neill Blomkamp’s INSANE New Sci-fi/Horror Short ‘Firebase’
This is what unbridled creativity looks like, friends.
We’re not sure there’s any filmmaker who’s more exciting to watch right now than Neill Blomkamp, whose new Oats Studios venture has allowed him to step outside the studio system and crank his own creativity up to eleven. When a visionary artist like Blomkamp is fully unleashed and unrestrained, oh boy is it something special.
Following the Sigourney Weaver-starring Rakka is Blomkamp’s brand new Oats Studios short Firebase, which brings literal Hell into the Vietnam War. Bending the fabric of space-time, the insanely ambitious short introduces a whole new war enemy in the form of the River God, a hellish beast who has the power to raise the dead.
Set during the Vietnam war, FIREBASE follows American soldier Hines through an ever deepening web of science fiction madness.
Watch. This. Film. Immediately.
Steve Boyle, Nic Rhind, Robert Hobbs and Tyler Johnston star in the short.

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
