Watch This: Treevenge

Posted on Monday, July 13th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta

Treevenge
Treevenge is probably the best short film I’ve seen on the film festival circuit this past year. The follow up short film from Yer Dead Productions Inc, the creative team that produced & directed last years award winning, and notorious Grindhouse trailer, Hobo with a Shotgun. Here is the official plot synopsis:

Treevenge details the experiences and horrifying reality of the lives of Christmas trees. Clearly, for trees, Christmas isn’t the exciting “peace on earth” that is experienced by most. After being hacked down, and shipped away from their homes, they quickly become strung up, screwed into an upright position for all to see, exposed in a humiliation of garish decorations. But this Christmas will be different, this Christmas the trees have had enough, this Christmas the trees will fight back. Treevenge could be a short film about the end of days for Christmas trees, or perhaps, the end of humanity?

    This was a funny ass movie. i love low-budget films like this. Awesome.....More please...lol
  • April Dawn
    That was a little bit disturbing at some points....But all together it was amazing. :D
  • Perhaps the best short film of all time!!! WATCH IT!
  • Perfect short homage to what everything a campy horror gore film should be... but with trees. Superb work!
  • Except we get those homages ALL THE TIME. There is nothing original or transcendental about the concept; and lets face it, all this thing is, is a concept.
  • Sure, but it's not trying to be anything more than that. It's not trying to break new ground, it's just having some fun in the short medium. Hardly a classic, but can't fault them for delivering flawlessly on the concept they aimed to achieve.
  • zecki
    what a load of shit - make something decent
  • It points out the ridiculousness of our holiday tradition, but when the trees start to attack is as colossally stupid as everyone's acting. Its like a glorified youtube video.
  • David
    O. M. F-ing. G. lol.
    Whoever made this should be in a mental hospital! But, then again, I laughed at the whole, thing, so I should probably be there too! lol
    'NO! It's Christmas! All I wanna do is FUCK!'
  • tracefleeman
    awsome.
  • jonathan13
    one word delicious
  • Ken
    It's J-ROC from Tariler Park Boys!

    NIIIICE!
  • Robbstein
    Cute little film. I liked it. The opening and end credit music is either the same or very similar to that from the 1970 film MARK OF THE DEVIL.
  • jasoneisener
    Hey guys Jason Eisener here, just wanted to give a big thanks to everyone who took the time to check out our short. Thanks for the feedback, i really appreciate it. Just wanted to let you know were working on our feature version of the hobo with a shotgun trailer, which we hope to go to camera this fall.
    Well let you guys know how it goes!
    thanks again guys
  • Matter P
    You are one cold Canadian bastard and I don't know how you sleep at night doing such puerile things to children, women, and babies....

    .... I also saw the one with the kid in the wheelchair. Really, I'm praying for you...

    ...but thankfully you do rest up enough to keep up the good work! :)
  • Michael_C
    I cannot fucking wait. Keep up the excellent work.
  • israeliDude
    what a wonderful movie!!!!!!!
    laughed my ass off!!!!!
    it's so obvious it was directed by Jew.....
    now the rest of us Israelis need to pick up the ball and
    make a movie about the revenge of poultry on Yom Kippur...
    we can call it "Poultrygeist" or something....
  • Dardles
    There already is a bad horror movie called Poultrygeist its great.
  • Andrew
    .... whoa. they went there. that was actually a huge let down.
  • rockinrors
    Hahahah!
    These guys are brilliant.
    I wonder how much this cost to make?
    Nice homage to the Evil Dead tree rape scene.
  • Dude, I'll take this over The Ruins ANY day.
  • This is exactly why we always had fake trees growing up!
  • Well, they've definitely captured the Christmas colours: red and green, in a cheery yet horrific way.

    Good fun!!!
  • TheMarquis
    That was fantastic. Fully worth my 16 minutes of time.
  • Kyle
    Wow, that was a very epic short.
  • Bill
    Damn, that's a long video.
  • kip_mooney
    Reviewed this for online newspaper Pegasus News when it premiered at the AFI Dallas Fest earlier this year. Great stuff.
  • ff
    Sam Raimi and Peter Jackson would approve!!!!
  • babars_house
    What The Happening should have been! Brilliant!
  • vladimus
    Whatev. The overacting in the beginning was very off-putting. The end was still over-acted, but appropriate. This was the same thing that didn't let me get into the Hobo with a Shotgun trailer.

    That said, I don't know if I'll ever look at a Christmas tree the same way again.
  • Natalie Portmen
    In terms of the acting, I don't see what other option there is for a film with killer Christmas trees. Go over-the-top or go home!
  • swahili
    Dammit Matthews, spend less time writing on message boards and more time preparing for your DJ voiceover in my movie.
