- DirectorMel CarterStarsMel CarterThis exploration of empathy derived from destruction begins by creating a whole from abandoned individual parts. When stripped from their original bodies, these individual pieces become futile fragments of flesh solely used for others consumption, but their demise allows me to resurrect them into a new magical entirety. By physically anchoring flesh to flesh, it generates a strong bond and secures the strength within this new body, creating a whole new world for these assembled creatures to exist in.This was weird, but mysterious. Which I think was the intention.
- StarsDaniel GidlowMax Lorenzo GonzalezJordan MathewsonMay need re-watch.
- DirectorMaya DerenStarsTalley BeattyA man dances in several locations, edited to have a fluent effect.Don't know what to say about this. It was alright.
- DirectorTim BurtonStarsShelley DuvallDaniel SternBarret OliverA young boy sets out to revive his dead pet using the monstrous power of science.Meh. Prefer the stop motion one. This one wasn't bad. Just disappointing.
- DirectorRené ClairStarsJean BörlinInge FrïssFrancis PicabiaAn absolute dada movie. Somebody gets killed, his coffin gets out of control and after a chase it stops. The person gets out of it and let everybody who followed the coffin dissapear.Just another experimental film. Nothing special. Some nice shots/ideas. Felt meaningless.
- DirectorDaniel GidlowStarsDaniel GidlowMax Lorenzo GonzalezJordan MathewsonFollowing the events of the first Bunny Bust, Cop is pulled into a web of revenge and deceit that he doesn't quite understand. In order to find out what's going on he must fight his inner demons as he struggles to live with the decisions he has made that got him into this terrible situation.Now. As much as I'd like to give this a higher score. I can't. I'm not letting nostalgia control my judgement too much. Over all this film was just full of mistakes and laziness. The writing is pretty dull and the only reason I feel that I liked it was the fact that it was made by the Creatures and I was a massive fan at the time. But points for hyping it up because it was extremely hyped. that's for sure.
- DirectorJordan MathewsonStarsDaniel GidlowMax Lorenzo GonzalezSeamus O'DohertyAs a short film goes, this one was strange. I know this is just the Creatures and they where only having fun but I felt this film was just nothing really. All it was where a ton of fan references.
