The Cat With Hands

Welcome to Today’s FYB Post featuring THE CAT WITH HANDS (2001) the Short Horror Film by British Filmmaker, Animator , Director and Writer Robert Morgan who Wrote the Screen Play and Directed THE CAT WITH HANDS. Morgan is also Responsible for Bobby Yeah and Belial’s Dream which is a Personal All fucking Time Favorite of Ours. Both Bobby Yeah AND Belial’s Dream are Posted here So We suggest You check Them Out. Morgan developed a Keen Interest in Film at the tender age of 3 when His Uncle Showed Him the Movie Fiend Without a Face (1958) on a 8mm Projector, and Later sighted Francis Bacon, Edgar Allan Poe, David Lynch, and David Cronenberg as Key Influences.

According to Film Threat Magazine, THE CAT WITH HANDS  is “Mandatory Viewing for Anyone who wants to Write a Horror Movie.”, and that’s NOT because of What Morgan does with the fucking Film but Rather He Doesn’t. When it comes to the Blood Soaked Horror Movies with Booming Butchered Body Counts (along with the Birth of the Torture Porn Genre) of Today THE CAT WITH HANDS is rather fucking Tame. That’s fucking just Fine as Morgan’s Key to Unlocking the Horror in the Film is in a Word Subtlety. It’s Not Blood and Guts Fare it’s just Plain fucking Creepy especially with the Combination of Both Live Action and Animated Characters and Their Bizarre Expressions.

PLOT: The Dark and Surreal Film Focuses on an Old Man telling His Young Companion an Old Folk Tale of a Cat Who wants to be Human. As the Tale has it, that Deep in a Most Foul Stone-Walled Well resides a Vile Feline being, which instead of Paws, has Human Hands and it Does Horrible Things (such as Stealing Body Parts from the Unsuspecting Passersby).

He Took His Skin Off For Me

Welcome to Today’s FYB Post featuring the 2014 Short Film HE TOOK HIS SKIN OFF FOR ME Written and Directed by Ben Aston. Aston is a London Born Filmmaker Who was Raised in Hong Kong, Australia, Bath, Singapore, and Shanghai.  His First Foray into Directing was a fucking Puppet Show at the Age of 11 that Lasted SO fucking Long it Required a fucking Intermission. After Graduating with a BA in Philosophy from Kings College London He spent a Year Setting up a Production House with Friends, Creating Short Films, Music Videos, and Ads for Political Organizations. This Resulted in a National Broadcast Job, which in turn Paid for Aston’s First Term at the London Film School.

We will Admit that this HE TOOK HIS SKIN OFF FOR ME is Rather fucking Tame for the Type shit We Post Normally but So fucking What?! We like this Short Horror Film  for a Few Reasons First being the Name that Reminds Us of Other Similar Movie Titles like “I Drink Your Blood!” or “I EAT YOUR SKIN”. Secondly it Also happens to Remind Us of One of Our Favorite fucking Movies of all Time the Clive Barker’s Hellraiser Horror Movie Franchise. We mean Seriously what the fuck Else would Someone Think of (instead of the Hellraiser Reference) when the Topic of Skinless People Comes Up for fucks Sake?!

Next We do Enjoy the Fact that HE TOOK HIS SKIN OFF FOR ME is Not a Gore Soaked Splatter Movie, But Man if it fucking was it Be fucking Fantastic. This Short Film falls into the Creepy Asian Horror Movies for while Asian Horror has Gore Movies/Splatter Movies/Torture Porn Out the fucking Wazoo this is the Other Variety. The Second School of Though in Asian Horror if You will is the Creepy Unnerving Mindfuck Horror Genre the Kind of Shit that Crawls into Your Cranium like a Cinematic Parasite. The kind of Horror Movie You simply Can’t Stop thinking About in Spite of How Much You may want To.

Lastly it has the Surreal Insanity Feel that’s Reminiscent of Director David Lynch and being Huge fucking Lynch Fans that’s Definite fucking Works for US. So the Best Way We can Describe this Film is Combine the Surreal Insanity of David Lynch with the Dark Mind of Clive Barker to make the Next Hellraiser Sequel.

Meanwhile it’s Important to Note Our Only Criticism is there Obviously should have been a shit ton More fucking Blood like fucking Buckets of it a Borderline Blood fucking Bath.

SAMURI SLASHER or When You Forget To Samurai Slice The Like Button

Welcome to Today’s FYB Post featuring SAMURI SLASHER or WHEN YOU FORGET TO SAMURI SLAISH THE LIKE BUTTON by Content Creator Who goes by jeftric Who Directed, created, starred, edited by jeftric the SAMURI SLASHER. It appears jeftric is switching His Channel’s Content from Mindless Video Game Bullshit to Horror. SAMURI SLASHER is jeftric’s First Official attempt at Horror and for what it is it’s rather entertaining as First Attempt go.

Now What We got a Kick Out of was the Fact that this is an Absurd Comedy Horror. It’s fucking Obvious by the Duel Titles that it isn’t a Horror Movie meant to Scare the Holy fucking shit Out of the Audience. It reminds Us a Great fucking Deal of Tromp Team Releases that Help Independent and Rather Odd Film Makers get Their Films Made. Trim Releases is NOT to be Confused with Tromp Entreatment that Produces Their Own Unique Brand of Gore Drenched Juvenile Humor Fueled Horror Flicks.

 

 

Plot Summary:

A Teenager is at Home opting to watch New YouTube Videos instead of attending a Party. A Friend of His calls Him and Insists that He watch the News Immediately. The News Broadcaster is Informing the Public of a Psychotic Serial Killer know as “The Samurai Slasher” who is Running Amok Murdering Anyone who hasn’t Hit the like Button on a Particular Youtuber’s  (coryxkensin) New Video within the Next 24 Hours…….

Short Horror Film Friday: BAKEMONO

Welcome to this Week’s Installment of Short Horror Film Friday featuring BAKEMONO by  by Sumire Takamatsu and Jorge Lucas who Wrote as well as Directed the Film.

What I found Interesting is the Evil Spirits in BAKEMONO are in fact Based on Hungry Ghosts.Hungry Ghosts is a Concept in Chinese Buddhism, Chinese Traditional Religion, Vietnamese Buddhism, Vietnamese Traditional Religion, Japanese Buddhism, and Tibetan Buddhism, Representing Beings Who are Driven by Intense Emotional needs in an Animalistic Way. Since the Family in the Film is Japanese I’m going to quickly Touch on Hungry Ghosts in Japanese Buddhism.

                    

In Japanese Buddhism, Hungry Ghosts are considered to have Two Variants: the Gaki and the Jikininki. Gaki are the Spirits of Jealous or Greedy People, Who as Punishment for Their Mortal Vices. The Gaki have been Curses with an Insatiable Undying Hunger for a Particular Substance or a Specific Object. Traditionally, this is Something Revolting or Humiliating like Decaying Human Corpses or Feces, but in Recent Years it can Virtually be Anything No Matter how Bizarre it may be. Meanwhile Jikininki (People Eating Ghosts) are the Spirits of Greedy, Selfish or Impious Individuals who are Cursed After Death to seek out and Eat Human Corpses. They Feed at Night Scavenging for Recently Deceased Human Bodies, and the Food Offerings Left for the Dead. Jikininki Lament Their Curse and Hate Their Vile Craving for Feasting on the Flesh of the Dead.

                    

Plot Summery: The Date is February 3rd, known in Japan as Setsubun, and is Supposed to be the Celebration of the Beginning of Spring. Families Celebrate by Casting out Evil Spirits from Their Homes.  Although at Ayumi’s House things have become so stressful You could Cut the Tension with a Knife. This is Due to Rebellious Ayumi who once again like so many Children is Refusing to Finish Her Dinner. In an Attempt to Remedy the Problem Ayumi’s Mother Tries to Scare Her into Compliance with a Terrifying Tale. As the Story goes if Ayumi Doesn’t Finish Her Dinner then an Evil Spirit will Enter the House and Eat it instead, But Ayumi is not Convinced that All Spirits are Evil. So Ayumi decides to test Her assumption by Inviting One in for a Midnight Snack, and Learns You should Never Feed a Hungry Ghost the Hard Way.

Enjoy.

CAST:

  • Ayumi – Claudia Fabella
  • Oka-san – Shio Muramatsu
  • Oto-san – Daisuke Suzuki
  • Bakemono – Sherry Q, Erin Yuqi Yang
