EOD

Rolling laughing for the first 20 minutes at the slurping sounds and the wipwipwipwipwip sounds, then got a bit exhausted when it just kept going slurrrrp and wipwipwip for an additional 30 or 40 minutes. The guy transforming into his “lady with big hooters” form got me sitting up in my seat and paying close attention…

Now THIS is the ultimate interpretation of the "comedy horror" genre. It's disturbing and shocking but I couldn't stop laughing.
This surely has the "most incredibly strange" award in the bag right? I've never seen anything like it!
And the rate at which it builds is so funny. Starting as remorse over a simple tripping over words and quickly spiralling into more unlikely and disturbing imagined scenarios. Really felt like I was stuck in the mind of a deeply unwell person.
The film is beyond critiquing. The team clearly knows their intentions well and I'd hate to interrupt that. BUT I think this really would have gone an extra step, had the intestines looked more realistic. That would have really brought the shock factor up to 11.

No other film in the heats got me like this one! This is what this competition is all about! WHO are the geniuses behind this film? How have we never met? We need to collaborate RIGHT NOW!! THIS WAS FUCKING AWESOME!!!! Such a strong vision! Such a trip! I never would have expected something like this in a little ol Christchurch heat! Loved it so so so much!!

Zero idea how this didn’t progress into the next round. You guys had the best film of the heat.

I LOVED this so so much. You guys absolutely nailed your genre 100% and I was hooked the entire time! Fantastic editing. Great performance from your actor. Fabulous set design and props!! I was so inspired by the long arms and the paper mache (?) head. Snubbed from the shortlist in my opinion. Keep making cool and weird films, can't wait to see what you make next!

i would definitely have to say holy moly because that is the only appropriate reaction. the judges werent ready for this although we are ready for this and so so much more.
