"But you can't get pregnant from expired milk"


Suzie



Another short from Canadian masters of b-grade mirth Astron-6. This one pays homage to 80's comedies like 'Weekend At Bernies', and in particular teen holiday sex ones like 'Revenge of the Nerds'. Three unlucky in love guys hit the beach for a summer break, only the lone girl they managed to get back to their room turns up dead.


Mildly amusing, early teeth cutting short. Showcases their potential, scenes like the hand amputation hint at their more twisted style, that they'd later develop for features like Fathers Day'. Gotta love the amusing use of an 'Alan Smithee' alias director gag. If nothing else it proves these guys know their movie shit.


[PRFR: Personal Reasons For Remembering]

Captured the period detail well, including the cheesy MTV-styled music video number.
